Introduction: Conflict is a phenomenon that has positive and negative effects on the performance of individuals and organizations. This study aimed to investigate the effect of implementing a conflict management program on job conflict and nurses' conflict resolution styles.Methods: This experimental-interventional and before-after study was performed on 60 nurses in the Kamyab Hospital of Mashhad, Iran, in 2020. A conflict management workshop was held for the intervention group for 6 hours. Then, one week after the workshop, two intra-departmental sessions were held. In both intervention and control groups, Dubrin Job Conflict Questionnaires and Thomas-Kilman conflict mode instrument were completed at the beginning, fifteen days, and one month after the end of the inpatient sessions. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 16.Results: Fifteen days and one month after the intervention, the mean score of job conflict in the intervention group significantly decreased compared to the control group and before the intervention (p = 0.003, p = 0.008, and p<0.001, respectively). Implementing a conflict management program increased the tendency to use a collaborative style compared to the control group (p = 0.02). Tendency to this style in the intervention group increased fifteen days and one month after the workshop compared to before the course (p <0.001).Conclusion: Findings showed that the implementation of conflict management programs for nurses leads to a reduction in job conflicts among them. Further studies are suggested to explain the role of conflict management program implementation in the functioning of the health system.

Background: Infants often undergo painful procedures such as vaccination and blood sampling. Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) and breastfeeding methods may be desirable in order to create positive interaction between mother and child. The objective of this study was to assess and compare the analgesic effect of KMC and breastfeeding methods during immunization injections in infants.
Materials and Methods: In this randomized controlled trial, 180 infants undergoing DPT vaccination were divided randomly into three groups. Breastfeeding was performed from 2 minutes before, during, and one minute after the injection in breastfeeding group, while kangaroo mother care started 10 minutes before the injection and continued for one minute after the injection in KMC group. Symptoms associated with pain were evaluated using the Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS), crying time, and latency to cry.
Results: The mean severity of pain was 3.5±1.53, 4.38±1.37, and 5.43±0.96 in breastfeeding, KMC, and control groups, respectively, and their difference was statistically significant (p < 0.001). The mean crying times for breastfeeding, KMC, and control groups were 34.62±14.40 s, 49.87±26.57 s, and 61.17±22.08 s, respectively, which were significantly different (p

Background and Purpose: Mucositis is one of the most debilitating side effects of chemotherapy، affecting around 52 to 81 percent of children undergoing chemotherapy. The present study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of Evidence-based care guidelines، with and without cryotherapy، on oral Mucositis in children with cancer undergoing chemotherapy.
Methods and Materials: In this experimental study، 66 children of 3 to 15 years old undergoing chemotherapy were allocated randomly into three groups; evidence based practice with cryotherapy (EBP+Cryo)، evidence based practice without cryotherapy (EBP)، and the control group. For two experimental groups، the necessary care-giving، based on evidence based clinical guideline، were conducted. Cryotherapy was performed in one of the (EBP+Cryo) group. Mucositis was scored by Eilers and WHO scales. Data analysis was done in SPSS 11.5 using Kruskall Wallis، Spearman Correlation coefficient and Mann Whitney U test.
Results: The frequency of Mucositis was 8.3% in the (EBP+Cryo) group، 40% in the (EBP) group and 90% in the control group (p

Background and Purpose: Diabetes mellitus is the most common endocrine disease in children. Achieving self-management of the child and her family is one of the important goals nursing these patients. The present research was conducted to examine the effect of problem solving education on the self-management and HbA1C in adolescents with type 1 diabetes.
Methods and Materials: In this experimental study، adolescents 10-19 years old with type 1 diabetes for at least on year، were allocated randomly into two control and problem-solving education groups. The intervention group received 6 sessions of problem-solving process education; the family function of caregivers، self-management and HbA1C of adolescents with type 1 Diabetes before and 3 months after the intervention were evaluated. Data analysis was done using independent and paired t-test، Mann-Whitney U and Wilcoxon tests.
Results: Problem-solving education increased self-management in adolescents by 76.57% in terms of public health، 49.11% regimen therapy، 112.20% social presence and 75% in terms of overall self-management (p

Background and Purpose: Geriatric age is a course in life where the elderly are subject to potential threats such as chronic diseases, isolation and seclusion, lack of social support, and accordingly mental and physical disabilities threaten their personal independence. These factors can lead to diminish the quality of life. Therefore, the quality of life of the elderly people in Sabzevar was investigated in this study. Methods and Materials: In this cross-sectional descriptive analytical study, 304 elderly of above 60 years dwelling in Sabzevar, Iran in 2010 were selected through systematic cluster sampling. The study data were collected through standardized SF-36 Health Status Questionnaire. They were analyzed through frequency tables and mean ± SD, using independent t-test, one-way ANOVA and chi-square in SPSS 15. Level of significance was considered 0.05. Results: The mean quality of life was 44.9±8.7. The highest mean was associated with energy and vigor (50.6±0.5) and the lowest with general health (39.2±19.7). In general, 38.7% had a good life quality and 23.3% did not. Also, 44.4% of elderly men had unsuitable quality of life as far as pain was concerned, and 44.3% were affected with limited physical movement. No significant differences were observed between men and women as regards their limited activity, as well as social, mental and physical problems. However, there was a significant difference as to their pain. Conclusion: Since all dimensions of life quality were below 50 in the present study, the life quality of elderly people in Sabzevar, Iran can be considered unsatisfactory.

Background and Purpose: One probable sources of error blood pressure measurement can be the cross-leg seating position but research findings in this regard are contradictory. Therefore the present study was designed to investigate the effect of crossing legs while measuring the blood pressure on the reading of blood pressure in patients with hypertension. Methods and Materials: The quasi- experimental study involved 90 patients selected through purposive sampling from among the population of patients with primary hypertension admitted to Internal and Cardiac Clinics of Vase'ee Hospital in Sabzevar Iran. Patients blood pressure was measured according to a written protocol in three steps: first sitting with both feet straight on the floor then sitting with crossed legs and finally sitting with both feet straight on the floor (as in the first step). Conventional stethoscope and sphygmomanometer were used for measurements; t- test was used for data analysis in SPSS. Results: Crossing legs while measuring blood pressure increased systolic bp by 6.81 mmHg (from 144.43±21.782 to 156.24± 22.082) and diastolic bp by 3.12 mmHg (from 89.06± 13.610 to 92.18± 14.920). Mean systolic bp when the third step of the protocol was adopted reduced 9.59 mmHg (from 156± 22.082 to 146.66± 22.438) and diastolic bp reduced by 3.53 mmHg (from 92.18±14.920 to 88.64± 14.839). Conclusion: According to the findings blood pressure reading increases in patients with hypertension when they take a seated cross-leg position during bp measurement.

Backgrounds and Purpose: Curren WHO strategies of dally Iron Supplementation In the second half of gestational period have not. Reduced the prevalence of anemia in pregnant women during the last decade, and the reasons could be conceived as women's rejection of iron supplementation due to its side effects. Therefore, the present study was conducted to compare daily and twice-weekly iron supplementation regimen and their effects on the pregnancy outcome and maternal hematologic changes.
Methods and Materials: The present study is a randomized clinical trial and the study population was the pregnant women admitted to four health centers in Sabzevar, Iran. The sample was 88 pregnant women randomly assigned into two groups (43 daily and 45 twice-weekly).A demographical questionnaire and a study checklist were used for data collection and the obtained data were analyzed using independent Hest, paired Hest, Pearson correlation coefficient and chi-square.
Results: The findings revealed that hemoglobin and ferritine changes were similar across the groups. Also, birth weight and gestational age were similar across the two groups and indicated no significant difference.
Conclusion: Based on the study findings, the twice-weekly regimen is recommended for iron supplementation because of similar effects, less side effects and its cost-effectiveness in comparison with the daily regimen.
