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.

Also, among the effective factors for increasing breastfeeding, we can mention the level of self-efficacy of the mother in breastfeeding. This research was conducted with the aim of the relationship between marital satisfaction and breastfeeding self-efficacy in primiparous and multiparous mothers hospitalized in Qom city in 2022.Materials and Methods: This study was of a descriptive-correlation type, which was investigated in 81 primiparous mothers and 49 multiparous mothers selected by convenient sampling method (available). Data collection was done using an ENRICH marital satisfaction questionnaire and BSES-SF breastfeeding self-efficacy questionnaire. The data was analysis by using SPSS statistical software.Results: mean and standard deviation of marital satisfaction in primiparous women (2.56±1.01) and in multiparous women (2.54±1.06) and breastfeeding self-efficacy in primiparous women (2.55±0.97) and in multiparous women (2.50±1.007). There was a significant relationship between marital satisfaction and breastfeeding self-efficacy in primiparous and multiparous mothers, respectively.Conclusion: The results of this research indicate that the status of breastfeeding self-efficacy and marital satisfaction of the mothers who participated in this study was lower than the average level. Also, there is a relationship between marital satisfaction and breastfeeding self-efficacy in the primiparous and multiparous mothers in Qom's selected Hospitals in2022. Therefore, this research confirms the necessity of educating and informing parents about the importance of supporting the spouse and its effect on improving the family's breastfeeding self-efficacy.

Background and Purpose: Aloe vera has long been used as a medication of many diseases but the research approving its analgesic effects are not many. Since the effect of its ointment on episiotomy pain has been investigated، we intended to determine the effect of aloe vera ointment on the pain intensity of episiotomy among primiparous women.
Methods and Materials: This blind randomized clinical trial was conducted on 74 primiparous women، having the inclusion criteria، admitted to Lolagar hospital in Tehran، Iran; the participants were continuously assigned into two groups by random allocation: experimental (using the aloe vera ointment) and control (routine medication). The experimental group (37 women) consumed Aloe vera ointment 3cc / 60 mg every 8 hours; and the control group (37 women) consumed the hospital routine care (Povidone Iodine) for five days. Data collection instruments were a demographic questionnaire and VAS scale، for recording the pain intensity before application، 4 and 8 hours and 5 days after application in both groups. The obtained data were analyzed in SPSS 16 using independent t-test and chi-square. Results: Mean pain score of the experimental and control groups before application of aloe vera ointment were 6.24±1.57 and 6.02±1.77 respectively، which reduced to 1.86±1.45 and 3.97±2.19 respectively five days after intervention; the difference between the two groups was significant (p

Background and Purpose: Post-episiotomy pain affects maternal life quality and mental health as well as her care and relationship with the infant. Currently the use of complementary medicine has become common; for instance the use of lavender essence is specifically prevalent in medicine and midwifery but findings about this essence are few and contradictory. Therefore the present research was conducted to investigate the effect of lavender essence on post-episiotomy pain in primipara. Methods and Materials: This single-blind clinical trial involved 60 qualified primiparous women admitted for labor in Kamali Hospital in Karaj Iran. They were randomly allocated into two groups: cases (bathing in lavender essence) and controls (receiving the hospital routine). For five days after labor case mothers were given essential oil of lavender (twice a day each time 6 drops in 5 liters of water) and control mothers were given the hospital; routine (Betadine) for bathing in. The study data were collected through demographic data questionnaire analgesic checklist and visual analog scale of pain. The participants’ pain was recorded on the VAS scale 4 hours 12 hours ad 5 days after episiotomy. The obtained data were analyzed in SPSS 14 using independent t-test and chi-square. Results: The two groups did not show any significant differences as for their demographic data and variables of the study. Mean pain intensity in the lavender and Betadine groups were 2.7±1.7 and 4.23±1.59 respectively which shifted to 2.43±1.94 and 4.60±1.79 respectively five days after surgery; the difference came out to be significant (p
