The present study was conducted to understand the family caregiver's perception of resilience in caring for stroke patients.Materials and methods: This qualitative content analysis study was done in Besat Hospital of Hamadan, Iran in 2023. Participants were selected through purposive sampling, resulting in 22 face-to-face interviews with 15 caregivers. Data saturation was ensured by conducting additional interviews with three more participants. The interviews, lasting an average of 45 minutes, were conducted in the examination room of the hospital's neurology ward. Data analysis was carried out using the Granheim and Landman approach. MAXQDA 10 software was utilized for data management.Results: Following qualitative data analysis, 85 primary codes, 17 subcategories, and six overarching categories were identified: cognitive self-care, spiritual self-care, physical health, reinforcement of social relationships, seeking help from others, and meeting the patient's needs. Three main themes emerged: managing stress, adopting a healthy lifestyle, and addressing the patient's challenges.Conclusions: The study revealed that family caregivers of stroke patients perceive resilience through coping with stress, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and addressing the patient's problems. These caregivers often struggle with the overwhelming responsibilities of caring for incapacitated patients, which can impact their resilience. The study's insights can be valuable for health policymakers and practitioners in improving training programs to support caregivers of chronic patients.

This study compared the effect of the pressure massage of Hegu point with Kunlun-Taixi points on the pain of intramuscular injection in premature newborns.Materials and methods: This triple-blind, parallel, clinical trial was conducted in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of Shahid Rahimi Hospital, Khorramabad, Iran. Participants included 100 premature newborns randomly assigned to four groups (n = 25). The intervention groups received a counterclockwise pressure massage of the Hegu or Kunlun-Taixi points for two minutes. The placebo group received a pressure massage of the tip of the nose. The control group received routine care. The Astrid Lindgren and Lund Children's Hospital Pain Scale was used to observe pain behaviors before, during, and after intramuscular injection of vitamin K. One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), repeated measures ANOVA, and Chi-square tests were used for data analysis.Results: The mean (Standard Deviation) of pain scores during injection in the Hegu massage, Kunlun-Taixi massage, control, and placebo groups were 5.92 (1.99), 5.94 (1.75), 6.66 (1.45), and 6.56 (1.61), respectively. Despite the lower pain scores of the intervention groups compared to the control and placebo groups, their difference was not statistically significant (F = 1.32; p = 0.27).Conclusions: Using pressure massage before intramuscular injection of vitamin K has no significant effect on intramuscular injection pain in premature newborns. It is suggested that future studies of massage be performed for a more extended period, along with other pain relief methods for premature newborns.","PeriodicalId":44816,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Nursing and Midwifery Research","volume":"30 4","pages":"606-611"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12360764/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144884074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
