- چکیده: There are many slopping lands in Chaharmahl-Bakhtiari Province of Iran, located in the central Zagros, which have suitable conditions for production of rain-fed horticultural products. This study was an attempt to determine the appropriate regions for almond and vine rain-fed cultivation in this province. Water requirement (ET) of the trees was calculated by local information of weather and plants. Annual precipitation (P) and ET were probabilistically analyzed. Required area for micro-catchment (Ac) and suitable regions for rain-fed gardening were then determined at different probability levels (p ) or return periods (T). Finally, average expected yields of almond and grape was estimated. Mapping the gardening-suitable area showed that inappropriate regions for rain-fed almond and vine culture are concentrated in the eastern part of the province due to less P and higher ET. Moreover, almond generally needed larger Ac than vine (about 43%) due to higher ET. Results also showed that increasing runoff coefficient (C) was more effective than enhancing water storage efficiency (E) in reducing required Ac, therefore, increasing 10% and 20% of C and E lead to 48% and 28% smaller Ac, respectively. Average required Ac for almond was calculated as 17.4 m2 which resulted in production of 549.0 kg/ha with p =50% (T=2). The corresponding values for the grape were 9.5 m2 and 2,128.8 kg/ha. Overall, the western areas in the province were more appropriate for rain-fed almond culture, whereas rain-fed vineyard gardens are preferred to be constructed in the eastern parts of the province.

- کلمات کلیدی: flipped learning,Physical Activity,heart surgery,Multimedia learning
- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Background: Multimedia learning can be recommended for cardiopulmonary rehabilitation to reduce respiratory complications following open-heart surgery (OHS). Furthermore, flipped learning may reinforce the effects of education via further feedback. Aim: This study aimed to compare the effects of flipped teaching versus multimedia-based teaching on postoperative physical activity in patients undergoing OHS. Method: This controlled randomized clinical trial was conducted on a total of 60 patients admitted to an intensive care unit and a cardiac-surgical ward in northeastern Iran in 2019. In the multimedia learning group, a tutorial video was displayed three times a day at different stages, namely preoperation, 1-2 days after the surgery, and 2-3 days postsurgery. The flipped learning group was also subjected to the same tutorial with the potential to be displayed on smartphones. Then, the 6-Clicks instrument was completed to assess the basic mobility function. The data were analyzed in the IBM SPSS Statistics software (version 25) using the Mann-Whitney U and Friedman tests. Results: The groups were homogenous in terms of demographic characteristics. The mean duration of physical activity was not significantly different in the study groups at the preoperative stage (P=0.87), 2 days postoperation (P=0.09), and 5-6 days after surgery (P=0.10). Based on the inter-group comparison, the mean score of physical activity was significantly different between the groups receiving flipped (P<0.001) and multimedia (P<0.001) learning. Implications for Practice: The same as multimedia learning, flipped learning is able to improve physical activity in patients following OHS.

- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Background: Caring for a patient with Parkinson's disease (PD) imposes a high burden of care on caregivers due to its chronic and progressive nature. Implementation of an empowerment program leads to self-control and adoption of preventive behaviors.
Aim: This study investigated the effect of a family-centered empowerment model on the burden of care among the caregivers of the elderly with PD.
Method: The present randomized controlled clinical trial was performed on 60 caregivers and elderly people with PD referring to the Neurology Clinic of one of the two large hospitals of Mashhad, northeast Iran, in 2018. In the intervention group, the family-centered empowerment model consisted of four steps, including perceived threat, problem-solving, educational participation, and evaluation, in four training sessions. Before and 1.5 months after the training sessions, both groups completed the Zarit Burden Interview questionnaire. The control group also received routine care. The data were analyzed by SPSS software (version 16) using paired t-test, independent t-test, Wilcoxon test, and Mann-Whitney U test.
Results: The two groups were homogeneous regarding demographic findings. The difference in pre and postcare burden scores decreased 25.1±13.9 and 0.6±3.1 in the intervention and control groups, respectively. Independent t-test showed a significant difference (P<0.001). Intragroup comparison by paired t-test in the intervention group showed a significant difference between the total care burden score before and after the intervention (P<0.001).
Implications for Practice: Using the empowerment model focusing on the management of care programs leads to reducing the burden of care and improving the role of caregivers. Therefore, it is recommended to implement family-centered empowerment programs for the caregivers of patients with chronic diseases.

- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Preconception care identifies and modifies the risk factors for pregnancy and childbirth. The present study aimed to determine the effects a preconception care education program, which was based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) and implemented by health volunteers, on knowledge and attitudes of women. A semi-experimental study was conducted using 22 health volunteers and 110 women aged 15-49 years selected from two comprehensive health centers of Mashhad, Iran, in 2016. The convenience sampling method was employed for selecting the volunteers and the regular random sampling method for choosing the women. For data collection, we applied a researcher-made tool with verified validity and reliability. HBM-based education was implemented by the volunteers during three sessions. Data analysis was performed in SPSS using Mann-Whitney test, Friedman, and Spearman's rank correlation coefficient; repeated measures data analysis was carried out at the significance level of 0.05. The mean age of the women was 30.6±6.6 years in the intervention group and 31.6±6.5 years in the control group. The mean levels of knowledge and attitude increased significantly after the intervention (P<0.001). We suggest using the current educational intervention based on the HBM to promote women's knowledge and attitudes towards preconception care.

- کلمات کلیدی: coping,Kidney transplant,Psychometry,Tool
- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Background: Although there are different tools in a coping context, lots of them are general and not applicable in every stressful situation such as transplant.
Aim: The aim of this study is to develop and psychometrically evaluate a coping tool with kidney transplant in the Iranian context and culture.
Method: In this sequential exploratory study, based on theoretical and practical definitions of constructs for the concept of coping, the initial pool was extracted with 93 items. Face and content validity qualitative and quantitative were calculated. In order to assess the construct validity, exploratory factor analysis was applied. Using Cronbach's alpha and retesting, the consistency of the questionnaire was calculated
Results: In the quantitative face validity, all the items whose item impact was more than 1.5 were retained. Seven items were merged during the qualitative content validity since they overlapped each other, making the number of items equal to 80 at this stage. The quantitative content validity was determined by calculating the content validity index (CVI) as 0.9 and factor analysis was performed for all the 80 items. The items decreased to 69 using factor analysis and were classified under 5 categories of understanding the necessity of self-care, intelligent acceptance of changes, conscious enduring of problems, understanding supportive encouragements and spiritual enduring. Finally, the reliability of the questionnaire equaled 0.94 using Cronbach alpha.
Implications for Practice: This tool, with understanding and careful testing of the coping degree of transplant patients, could help health service providers to present their services and play their preventive, caring and therapeutic roles to patients.- انتشار مقاله: 28-05-1396

- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Background: Diaper Rash is a common skin disorder in the infancy that makes infants and their parents anxious and nervous. Due to the high prevalence of dermatitis and its complications in addition to adverse effects of chemical drugs, herbal therapy is an appropriate solution.
Aim: Comparison of the effects of Chamomile and Calendula ointments on severity of Diaper Rash.
Methods: This double-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted on 90 infants under one year who were hospitalized in Sabalan Hospital of Ardebil. The infants were treated by Chamomile and Calendula ointments for one week. The severity of dermatitis was evaluated on days one, 3 and 7. In order to assess the severity of dermatitis, the checklist of Diaper Rash five-point scale was used. Data were analyzed by software SPSS version 14 using chi-square, ANOVA, T-Test.
Results: The age in the Chamomile group was (8. 8 ± 2.3) and in Calendula group was (9.0± 2.4) months. The severity of dermatitis in Chamomile group before treatment was 1.6 ± 0.5, on the third day 0.8 ± 0.4, and on the seventh day zero (p<0.001). In Calendula group, before treatment was 1.7 ± 0.4, on the third day 1.1 ± 0.4, and on the seventh day zero (p<0.001). The difference between the two groups was significant in mean severity of dermatitis on the third day, so that was significantly lower in the chamomile group (p <0.03).
Conclusion: The recovery process in Chamomile was faster than the Calendula. Due to lack of side effects, chamomile ointment can be used as an appropriate treatment in treatment of diaper rash.- انتشار مقاله: 26-09-1393

- کلمات کلیدی: Preterm infant,Tub bathing,Body temperature
- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Background: Bathing of a premature newborn is important in care giving, but due to inadequate evidences, infant caregivers are not sure about bathing being safe in terms of not causing hypothermia and are not systematically considered in the infants’ care giving programs.
Aim: To determine the effect of tub bathing on body temperature of preterm infants”.
Methods: This study is a randomized controlled clinical trial which was conducted in 1392 in neonatal unit of Al-zahra hospital. 118 preterm infants were randomly divided into intervention and control groups. The infants in the control group received routine skin care only. The intervention group was bathed three times every other day inside the bathtub. In both group, the infants’ body temperature was measured at the same times by the researcher. Data were analyzed with SPSS software version 14 using independent T-test, Chi-square and repeated measurements tests.
Results: In both groups, boys outnumbered girls. At the time of inclusion, the infants' age was 5.8 ± 8.6 days and their weight was 320.6 ± 1660.0 grams. In both groups, the mean temperature of premature infants after bath was dropped in all three times. Which was statistically significant in the first and second baths (P<0.001). There was no statistically significant differences in temperature changes between two groups in differnet times of measurement (P=0.31).
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that bathing in bathtub does not cause improper body temperature changes in preterm infants. It is recommended that this correct bathing method should be used in the care giving program of the infants hospitalized in neonates' wards and Neonatal Intensive Care Units.- انتشار مقاله: 21-11-1393
