Introduction: Daily activities and social functions of the elderly are affected with the progress of their cognitive changes. The purpose of this study was to determine the cognitive status and factors related to it in the elderly of Sabzevar city.Materials and Methods: This is a descriptive-analytical study was conducted in Sabzevar city in 2022. In this research, 350 elderlies over 60 years in a cluster method were entered to study from urban health centers. To collect information, demographic, geriatric depression scale (GDS-15) and Mini–Mental State Examination (MMSE) were used. Data analysis were done using descriptive statistic (mean, standard deviation, and frequency distribution tables) and inferential statistic (multiple logistic regression test).Results: The mean of the age was 66.85±6.64 with a minimum 60 and a maximum age of 88 year. The results showed that 75% of the elderly had normal cognitive status and 25% had cognitive impairment. By using the multiple logistic regression, age (OR = 1.07, p = 0.003), marital status (OR = 3.01, p = 0.03), number of children (OR = 1.24, p = 0.02) type of residence (OR=4.09, p>0.001), occupation (OR=3.09, p=0.04), body mass index (OR=0.9, p=0.006)), diet (OR = 5.55, p = 0.01) and depression (OR = 2.92, p = 0.03) had a statistically significant relationship with cognitive status.Conclusion: Due to the frequency of cognitive disorders in the elderly it is suggested that health care providers perform cognitive screening in the elderly in order to prevent the development of cognitive impairment in this vulnerable group.

Introduction: Considering the importance of recognizing individual changes in old age and the special importance of retirement satisfaction, this study was conducted to determine the relationship between cognitive ability of retirees from individual change and retirement satisfaction in great Torshiz.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study was conducted in 1399 on 330 randomly selected retirees in Kashmar city. Data were collected using demographic, retirement satisfaction and cognitive ability of individual changes questionnaires. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics with SPSS software version 16.
Results: The mean age of participants was 62, 05+4,13. Retirement satisfaction was 20.27±76.29. Retirement satisfaction was significantly associated with marital status, age, income, type of property, study, entertainment, sports, television watching (P <0.05). The mean cognitive ability of retirees was 5.60±36.14, that the degree of cognitive ability was related to factors such as the number of hours spent watching TV and the type of illness involved (P <0.05). Statistical test did not show a significant relationship between retirement satisfaction and cognitive ability (P = 0.16).
Conclusion: Because most of the retirees had poor cognitive ability, it seems necessary to improve the cognitive ability of retirees in the last years of their careers. There was no relationship between cognitive ability and retirement satisfaction, which may be due to the region under study. Therefore, it is recommended to re-study in another environment to evaluate this relationship.

Introduction: Anxiety affects learning. It causes of many physical, and psychological problems. No qualitative study was seen in this matter.Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explain the students' experiences about the test anxiety and the anxious factors associated to the teacher.
Materials and Methods: This was a qualitative content analysis study, which was conducted in 2016. Participants were 25 students from Sabzevar University of Medical Sciences who had at least two semesters of study and participated in the final exam. The sampling method was initially goal oriented. The data were collected using a semi-structured interview with a presence in the field. Data analysis was carried out using conventional content analysis.
Results: 5 main categories and 14 sub-categories explored that main categories including the consequences and complication of test anxiety, teacher's teaching and evaluation strategy, teacher - student interaction strategy, the supportive role of teacher at the exam session, and learning self-management and control of anxiety were extracted from the data.
Conclusion: Using methods such as relaxation and resorting, the more recognition of teachers, the use of young faculty members from the experience of skilful teachers, the use of new educational methods, identifying sufficient references and asking questions from the same references, teacher’s attending in test session from the first to the end of the exam, and distributing the grade score during the term, are of the factors that can reduce student anxiety.

Background: Ischemic heart disease is the first cause of early death in the world. One of the main treatments for patients with acute coronary syndrome is the use of anticoagulants. The aim of this study, The aim of this study was to compare effect of two methods of intermittent intravenous injection and continuous infusion on APTT in patients with ACS.Materials and Methods: clinical trial was performed on 60 patients selected by random sampling in Neishabour Hospital in 2018. To data gathering were used the demographic information questionnaire, and APTT checklist. The intravenous injection group received 2500 units heparin every 3 hours and infusion group was given 1000 units per hour and APTT was controlled. Data analysis was done using SPSS-16 software and sinifiant level was considered to be less than 0.05.Results: Mean APTT level in first stage was 40.8 ± 11.17 and 38.87 ± 8.86 in intermittent intravenous injection and continuous infusion groups respectively. In the 8th stage, mean APTT level in intravenous injection group was 55.03 ± 8.41 and in continuous infusion group was 55.7 ± 14.09. Independent t-test did not show a significant difference between the two groups (P> 0.05).Conclusion: Regarding to approximation of the results in two methods, alternate injection method can be used instead of continuous intravenous infusion. This method creates less constraints for the patient and reduces the burden on nurses due to don’t need setting pump syringe, serum heparin preparation, and alleviation of alarms.

Background: Suturing, is the most common way to close wounds and non-absorable sutures must be removed. Suture removal is a painful process. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the application of ice bag on pain intensity from pulling sutures of the leg vein removal among patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
Methods: This single-blinded clinical trial, three groups before and after intervention, was conducted on 90 post cardiac surgery patients who had at least 20 cm incision in surgical site (leg vein removal) and hospitalysed in Imam Reza Hospital of Mashhad, Iran. In group 1, Ice bags were applied on surgical site for 10 minutes and in group 2 for 20 minutes before sutures removal. Participants in the control group did not receive any intervention. Pain intensity was measured by visual analog scale before and immediately after sutures removed. Data analysis was done by ANOVA, Paired T test, Chi-square and Fisher exact tests.
Results: There was no significant difference in pain intensity scores between three groups before sutures removal. Immediately after sutures removal, pain intensity score in group1 (2/53±0/93) and group2 (1/60±0/85) were significantly less than the control group (4/13±1/40).
Conclusion: Applying ice bag can be considerd as an effective, cheap and low risk intervention for decreasing pain associated with sutures removal.

Background and Purpose: Clinical teaching is a vital element in Nursing and Midwifery education, and one of the best sources of clinical teacher evaluation is the students perceptions. This study was conducted to investigate the characteristics of an effective clinical teacher from the perspective of Nursing and Midwifery Students at Sabzevar University of medical Sciences. Methods and Materials: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted at Sabzevar University of medical Sciences in 2007-2008, and involved 120 participants who were recruited by convenient sampling. A researcher-made questionnaire was used for data collection, which contained questions on professional competency, communication with students, and personal characteristics. Items values ranged from zero to five. Frequency, mean and standard deviation, independent t-test and Pearson correlation coefficient were used for data analysis was done in SPSS 11.5 . Results: Mean score of professional competency was 4± 0.5; students perceptions of professional competency became more positive as their education approached higher semesters (r=0.22, p=0.016). Also, Mean score of professional competency was higher than the mean of communication with students (3.8±0.6), and personal characteristics (3.7±0.6). Concluson: Students experiencing clinical training considered professional competency, knowledge, and the capability of transferring it to them as more important than their ability to communicate.
