Abstract

Introduction:

 

 

Depression is the most prevalent malady of the century. About 20 per cent of adolescents between 13 and 19 experience at least a fit of depression before 18. The present study investigated the relationship between mothers’ marital satisfaction and depression among their

adolescents in Shiraz, Iran.

Materials and Methods:

 

 

A correlational study was carried out on 300 teenagers of 14-19 years old (160 females and 140 males) and their mothers in educational year of 2009-10, whom were randomly selected among a pool of students from Shiraz’s four Educational Districts. A depression questionnaire with 21 items and a questionnaire of marital satisfaction with 47 items helped in collection of data. Pearson’s correlation of coefficients, regression, and independent t-tests helped

in data analysis.

Findings:

 

 

The current study found depression among teenagers as 43.4 per cent and their mothers’ marital satisfaction as 19.2 per cent. We found an inverse significant relationship between marital satisfaction and adolescent depression in both genders (P<0.00d1), with mothers’ marital satisfaction accounting for 0.52 per cent of depression among their teenagers. There was a difference between

male and female teenagers in their depression scores (P<0.05). There was also a negative significant relationship between teenagers’ depression and mother’s education and family economic status.

Conclusion:

 

 

Our findings underscored the importance of educational programs intended to prevent

depression among teenagers.

Abstract

Background and Aim:

The aim of this study is examining the relation between social support and religious orientation with relapse rates in opioid dependent patients under methadone maintenance therapy.

Materials and Method:

 

 

A descriptive –correlational design was used. The sample of the study consisted of a convenience sample of 200 male patients , were referred to substance treatment clinics of Mashhad since March 2012 to August 2012 and were treated by methadon. Sample was evaluated with Social Support Scale, Allport’s Religious Orientation questionnaire and demographic information form. Data were analyzed with Pearson correlation coefficient, enter and stepwise

multiple regression.

Results:

 

 

The results of this study revealed internal religious orientation (r=-0.52), family support (r=-0.48), and friends’ support (r=-0.33) were all in significant negative correlation with relapse rates (p< 0.01). It means that by increasing family support and internal religious orientation,the relapse rates were decreased. Also there was a significant positive correlation between external

religious orientation and relapse rates (r=0.50, p<0.01). Findings of linear regression and hierarchical regression analysis showed that all of these variables are predicting in total 0.62 of relapse rates variance, from which the contribution of internal religious orientation, external religious orientation, and family support respectively was 0.27, 0.06 and 0.04.

Conclusion:

 

 

results showed increasing of internal religious orientation and family support is associated with decreasing in relapse rates, and increasing of external religious orientation is associated with increasing in relapse rates.

Abstract

Introduction:

 

 

Nurses are the largest and one of the most important groups of health care providers. The quality of health care mostly depends on the quality of direct and indirect nursing care. Measuring the average nursing care time is an objective measure for assessing the quality of patient care.The goal of the present study was to compare the time being devoted to professional – nonprofessional activities by nurses in 8 hours and 12 hours working shift in Shahid Modarres teaching hospital in Tehran.

Methods:

 

 

A descriptive- comparative study was conducted on 30 nurses (27 female, and 3 male) working in medical and surgical wards of Shahid Modarres teaching hospital in Tehran. The nurses were working 8 and 12 hours shifts and in rotating schedule. Data were collected by direct observation of nurses’ activities,using a checklist with list of direct, indirect and nonprofessional nursing activities. The reliability of the checklist was assured by calculating inter observers’

agreement (The duration of time which nurses spent for each activity was recorded. Data were analyzed using SPSS and Wilcoxon test.

Results:

 

 

The findings of the present study revealed that, nurses working 8 hour shift duration, spent 64.99% of their time on professional and 35.3% on nonprofessional activities (41.21% on direct nursing care, 23.78% on indirect nursing care, 22.53% on personnel affairs and 12.5% on administrative activities). Nurses with 12 hour shift duration, spent 65.59% of their times on professional activities and 33.92% on nonprofessional activities (41.57% on direct healthcare, 24.02% on indirect healthcare, 20.94% on personnel affairs and 12.98% administrative activities).

Conclusion:

 

 

Nurses working in both 8 and 12 hours shift spend most of their times for professional activities (direct and indirect healthcare) and devote less time to nonprofessional activities (administrative and personal affairs), and these activities are independent of their shift duration

Abstract

Background and Aims:

 

 

Emotion regulation refers to the ability to understand emotions and modulate emotional experience and expressions. Emotions are managed and regulated according to processes and techniques that may be employed automatically or purposely, as well as consciously or unconsciously. The main purpose of this study was to examine psychometric properties of the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire.

Methods and methods:

 

 

Four hundred and seventy eight Iranian volunteers (226 males, 252 females) were included in this study. All participants were asked to complete the 18-item version of the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ), Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS), and the Mental Health Inventory (MHI-28).

Findings:

 

 

Test-retest reliability and internal consistency of the CERQ were examined at satisfactory levels. The CERQ scales of self-blame, rumination, catastrophizing, and other-blame revealed significant positive associations with depression, anxiety, stress and psychological distress, as well as significant negative associations with psychological well-being. The remaining scales of CERQ including acceptance, positive refocusing, planning, positive reappraisal, and putting

into perspective revealed significant negative associations with depression, anxiety, stress and psychological distress, as well as significant positive associations with psychological well-being.

Conclusion:

 

 

It was concluded that the 18-item version of the CERQ can be considered as a reliable and valid scale to measure cognitive coping strategies in Iranian samples.

Abstract
Background: The premature or low birth weight infants in the neonatal intensive care unit admission are affected not only by body’s physiology and immature developmental condition but also by environmental stress; thereby they are at high risk of developing neurodevelopmental delay. The aim of this study was to review the emerging fi eld of neurodevelopmetal disorders and strategies to reduce it.
Materials and Methods: In this review article, Iranmedex، Sciencedirect،google Scholar، SID, PubMed, Scopus, and EBSCO-CINAHL databases between 1960 to 2013 were searched for finding the relevant studies.
Result: The review of literature indicates that developmental care mostly reports positive effects on neurodevelopmental outcomes and helps preterm infants cope with the environment of Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Healing environment, partnering with families, positioning and handling, safeguarding sleep and optimizing nutrition are main core measures of developmental care. The structuring and designing of NICU environment for the high risk neonate has important policy implications for neonatal healthcare and beyond hospital stay.
Key Words: Developmental care, Neurodevelopment, NICU, preterm, low birth weight,
