Introduction: Anxiety is a common problem in caesarean section patients that can have adverse consequences. Benson relaxation can be useful as a complementary medicine method to reduce anxiety. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of Benson's relaxation on the anxiety level of primiparous pregnant women applying for cesarean section.
Materials and Methods: This semi-experimental interventional study was conducted among 132 primiparous pregnant women who had beeb referred to the Shahada Qain Medical Training Center for elective cesarean section in 2021. The participants in the study were selected by available sampling method and were randomly divided into two intervention and control groups. In the intervention group, the samples were given relaxation training through headphones.The Spielberger questionnaire was used to determine anxiety. Data were analyzed using SPSS software (version 16) and paired t-test, independent t-test and chi-square. The significance level of P<0.05was considered.
Results: Before the intervention, there was no significant difference between the demographic and background variables, the mean variables,overt, hidden, and total anxiety in the two groups (P>0.05). After the intervention, the comparison of the two groups showed that the mean scores of overt, hidden and total anxiety in the intervention group significantly decreased compared to the control group (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Despite the reduction of anxiety in the intervention group, the results indicated that the total and obvious anxiety in the control group also decreased significantly after the intervention. It seems that factors other than Benson's relaxation technique in this research, such as studying mothers, participating in pregnancy classes have been able to reduce anxiety among the research samples.

Introduction: Oral health care in patients with an endotracheal tube is one of the most important aspects of nursing care and nursing tasks in intensive care units. Mouth cleaning can reduce the amount of dental gingival, gum disease and the incidence of pneumonia associated with mechanical ventilation.
Purposes: The purpose of this study is the comparison between the effect of chlorhexidine solution and toothbrush in the prevention of oral lesions in patients hospitalized in intensive care unit in Shaheed Beheshti Hospital of Sabzevar.
Materials and methods: This study is a clinical trial. The Research Society in this study is patients hospitalized with endotracheal tube from the arrival time in intensive care unit in 1392. In this study, 30 patients were selected with target-based approach. They were divided into two groups by permutation blocking method for oral care toothbrush and chlorhexidine. There were 15 patients in each group. Beck Oral Assessment Scale (BOAS) modified and MPS are used in order to collect information on demographics List of information from the checklist of oral health. Data are analyzed by R software, Kolmogorov–Smirnov test, Chi square test, and Fisher and multiple logistic regression at 95% confidence level.
Results: Patients toothbrush and chlorhexidine groups of characteristics like age, sex, and drugs were similar (p>0.05). The results show that the toothbrush and chlorhexidine are effective in preventing oral lesions, but in some cases, when the toothbrush was used, the oral health status of the patient was better (OR=1.52، p=0.0046).
Discussion and conclusion: The results indicated the use of toothbrushes and toothpaste is a significant effect in reducing oral lesions in comparison with chlorhexidine.
