- چکیده انگلیسی: Background
The chronic genetic blood disorder, thalassemia, affects Quality of life (QOL) negatively. Regarding this, if adolescences with thalassemia are treated well, they will grow into an adult who will have a good potential for participating in society. Objectives: to determine the strongest predictor of QOL, compare QOL between the adolescents with beta-type major and their peers in Abadan city.
Materials and Methods
This was a cross-sectional study; the population consisted of 65 beta thalassemia major patients and 65 healthy peers with the same ages as the witness group. The data collection tools included SF-36 questionnaire and a questionnaire for demographic information. Data analysis was performed using independent t-test, correlation and linear regression by SPSS-16.
Results
The results of the study revealed that there is a significant difference (P < 0.05) in the average quality of life between the two groups of the study. On the other hand, the results showed that there was a meaningful relation between different aspects of life quality and family history of thalassemia (P< 0.05). Also, there was a negative correlation between quality of life and the frequency of blood transfusion per year (P< 0.05).
Conclusion
Adolescences with beta thalassemia major do not have a desirable quality of life, therefore, this fact shows the necessity of serious reforming in various fields of health care, treatment, family, social and financial support, and rehabilitation that need more attention from health care policymakers.- انتشار مقاله: 01-10-1394

- چکیده انگلیسی: Introduction
Nausea and vomiting are the most common side effects of chemotherapy in the pediatrics with cancer which affect their quality of life. Use of some methods of complementary medicine in leukemia patients is problematic. Because, leukemia patients are at risk of infection and bleeding, therefore the use of acupressure, acupuncture, and deep massage can be risky in these patients. Slow- stroke back massage is applied on the surface of body, so does not have complications. No study has addressed the effect of massage therapy on chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in pediatrics with acute leukemia in the world.
Material and methods
This study was a two-group randomized controlled trial (RCT), double blind and repeated measures design. In this RCT, 45 school age children with acute leukemia were placed in the massage and control groups. Before start of the study, at the day of chemotherapy administration (day 1th), only nausea and vomiting were measured. Then during 6 days next (day 2 through 7), the intervention group received 5-minutes Super Smash Bros. Melee (SSBM), immediately before start of each session of chemotherapy. Nausea was measured during chemotherapy, 0.5 h and 3 h after each session of chemotherapy in the two groups. Also vomiting was recorded during 24 h after each session of chemotherapy. Repeated measures ANOVA, Chi-square, and t-test were used for analysis.
Results
Most of pediatrics were male (58.13%), and suffered from Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) (81.7%). The repeated measure analysis showed that in the intervention group, the SSBM reduced progressive mean of nausea severity and frequency of vomit over time. While, this side effects have slightly increased over time in the control group.
Conclusion
The results of this study are suggesting that SSBM, as a non-pharmacologic, easy and safe method, is effective in controlling Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) in the pediatrics with acute leukemia.- انتشار مقاله: 15-09-1394

- چکیده انگلیسی: Background:
Infant mortality is often used as a standard measure of a population’s health. Until cause of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome is unknown (SIDS), the best strategy to decrease SIDS, is programming to decrease facing with risk factors. The aim of this study was to find the SIDS risk factors among families during their child care in Iran. The study is the first in Iran to examine the risk
Material and methods:
In the observational cross-sectional study, 878 mother-infant pairs who visited governmental health clinics were included by convenience sampling. The inclusion criteria was, all mother-infant pairs which infants Results:
Most common risk factors of SIDS was determined: co-sleeping (92.03%), bed sharing (49.31%), side lying position (47.49%) and non-exclusive breastfeeding (45.5%). A significant relationship was found between bed-sharing and head covering (p=0.001); bed-sharing and prone position (p=0.001); bed-sharing and breastfeeding (under 4 months) (p=0.001); mothers' age and co-sleeping (p=0.038) mothers' age and prone position (p=0.001).
Conclusion:
SIDS risk factors were common during child care. Hygienic teams and nurses have a key role in SIDS prevention through enhancing level of parental awareness by education to family about risk factors and its prevention is necessary. Further studies to identify risk factors and incidence of SIDS in different regions country are recommended.- انتشار مقاله: 26-08-1394

- چکیده انگلیسی: Background
Sitting on inappropriate benches, as well as the poor posture (body position) during the years of growth, can lead to spinal disorders, fatigue and discomfort in students. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between features of desks and chairs and prevalence of some musculoskeletal disorders in primary school students in Abadan.
Materials and Methods
This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2015 in the city of Abadan- South West of Iran; for which, 383 primary school students were selected and studied through cluster sampling method. Data were collected by the checkered board and researcher-made questionnaire. Features and dimensions of desks and chairs of students were recorded and evaluated based on their condition (being standard or not). Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS, version 22; and then, descriptive statistics and Chi-square test were conducted.
Results
Study results showed that about 56.1% of the desks and chairs in under study schools were non-standard. It found that drooping shoulder (85.4%) and scoliosis (81.7%) were the more prevalent disorders and back straight (1.6%) was the least frequent disorder. There was a significant relationship between the variable of non-standard desks and chairs and prevalence of drooping shoulders (P=0.001), scoliosis (P= 0.04), kyphosis (P=0.007) and lordosis (P=0.002) disorders in students.
Conclusion
The non-standard-sized desks and chairs increase the prevalence of skeletal disorders in schoolchildren. Therefore, it is essential to pay attention to design and build standard classroom desks and chairs, which are best, adjust to students’ physics.- انتشار مقاله: 14-07-1395

- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Background
It is not clearly specified that which of the components of body mass index (BMI) affect body image and which of them do not. Given that having information in this regard is of special importance as a basis for future planning for adolescents, the present research aimed to compare body image in female and male adolescents and study its relationship with body mass index in high school students of Ahwaz, Khuzestan Province in the academic year 2015-2016.
Materials and Methods
In this descriptive-analytic study, 200 high school students were selected as the sample using the random cluster sampling method. The required data were collected using demographic questionnaire, anthropometric data checklist (height and weight), and the Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire (MBSRQ). All descriptive and inferential statistics tests were performed using SPSS-17 at a confidence level of 95%.
Results: The students ranged from 15 to 18 years old. Equal distribution was employed among all four grades of high school. Body mass index (BMI) in male students showed a significant inverse relationship only with appearance orientation (P<0.05, r = -0.238) and body image (P<0.05, r = -0.200). In female high school students, BMI was scientifically related to appearance evaluation (P<0.05, r = -0.354), appearance orientation (P<0.05, r = -0.219), body areas satisfaction (P<0.05, r = -0.257), and body image (P<0.05, r = -0.286). Body Image was significantly greater in female than the male students by controlling BMI.
Conclusion: Overweight and obesity are considered important factors affecting the physical and mental health, including satisfaction with body image, among adolescent girls. Women’s extreme attention to their body leaves a negative impact on their attitude toward their body and body value. Therefore, promotion of a healthy body image should be integrated across all interventions aimed to address obesity and other health-related concerns among adolescents.- انتشار مقاله: 11-07-1395

- چکیده انگلیسی: Background: Cancer-related Fatigue (CRF) is one of the most common complications of acute myeloid leukemia
(AML) and its related therapies. It can influence all physical and psychological aspects of the patient’s life. Also, it
is believed that exercise can improve CRF in patients with cancer. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the
effect of the walking exercise program on CRF in patients with AML undergoing chemotherapy. Methods: In this
quasi-experimental study with a pre- and post-test design, 50 patients with AML undergoing chemotherapy were
selected using a convenience sampling method at a teaching hospital in an urban area of Iran. The intervention included
daily 30 minutes of planned walking for ten days. Data was collected using a demographic data form and the Brief
Fatigue Inventory, which were filled out before the intervention, and on the fifth and tenth days of the intervention.
Findings: Statistically significant differences were reported in the reduction of CRF on the fifth day and tenth day
of the intervention (p <0.001). Conclusions: The planned walking intervention can be used as an easy and low-cost
method for reducing CRF in patients with leukemia.- انتشار مقاله: 13-02-1397
