Background: Nutrition is considered as the most important in hypertension control however, little information is available about the nutritional status of hypertensive patients in our country. This study was aimed to determine the predictive power of perceived benefits, barriers, self efficacy and knowledge from fat intake and received dietary energy.
Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 671 rural hypertensive patients with using multistage random sampling method in Ardabil city in 2013. Data were collected by a valid and reliable questionnaire with interview method. Nutritional data were extracted by Nutritionist 4 software and analyzed the SPSS 18 software using Pearson correlation, multiple linear regressions, ANOVA and independent T-test.
Results: the mean of total fat, saturated fat and energy were 92.1±27.1, 32.3±9.7 and 2539.4±398.9 respectively. Total fat, saturated fat and energy had a negative significant correlation with perceived benefits and self efficacy and a positive significant correlation with perceived barriers. Perceived barriers, benefits, efficacy and knowledge predicted 20.9% of the energy change variations, 32.42% of the changes in saturated fat intake and 25.7 of the change in fat intake.
Conclusions: Dietary perceptions in the framework of perceived benefits, barriers, self-efficacy and knowledge could explain of total fat and saturated fat and energy intake in acceptable range.

Background:one of the most important groups of careers in health systems are Nurses. Their accupational moral is very crucial becuase of its effects on professional practice.furthermore,this study was condected to examin nurses’ moral and its related factors.
Materials and Methods: in this descriptive-cross sectional study the numver of 226 nurses woking at 4 educational hospitals of Qom in 2014 were selected via an available sampling method. Information were collected using a valid and reliable questionnaire including 4 dimensions (cohesion and teamwork, corporate identity, communication, and job involvement) to investigate occupational moral. Data were analysed using spss software and descriptive and inferential statistics tests.
Results: the mean score of accupational moral was (03/65 04/14) from a maximum score of 135.The highest mean score dedicated to the corporate identity and job involvement. 67.3 percent (152 cases) had an average accupational moral. There was no statistically significant relationship between nurses’ accupational moral and demographic characteristics.
Conclusion: there is suggested that managers try to promote cohesion, teamwork and communication within the organization and take effective measurments to address the major causes of nurses’ low accupational moral .

Background: Although vegetables have important role to our diets but in case of infection with microbes they can act as a source of infection for variety of intestinal diseases namely cholera. Present study aimed to figure out the status of vegetable disinfection behavior and its modifiable determinants during cholera outbreak in Qom province in 2011.
Material & Methods: In a descriptive-analytic study on 554 women (who were household-keeper), vegetable disinfection behavior and its determinants were investigated. In this study, the multistage sampling method was used. A researcher-tailored questionnaire was used to gather data. The valid and reliable questionnaire was comprised of 85 questions and was completed by subjects. Then, the collected data was analyzed by SPSS software (version 19) and using Pearson correlation coefficient (CI=95%).
Results: The mean and standard error (SE) of age of subjects were about 31.24+-8.45 Women’s knowledge score on use of vegetable disinfectants had a mean and SE of 71.5+-11.65. Altogether, only 15.99% of women (87 persons) reported a complete disinfection of vegetables. The strongest relationship was found between Vegetable disinfection behavior and the perceived barriers that based on Pearson correlation coefficient was a significant but reverse relationship. (r=-0.567, p=0.019).
Conclusion: Our findings showed that house-keeping women had a poor behavior regarding vegetable disinfection. Consequently, poorly-disinfected vegetables are still a prominent health problem respecting spread of intestinal diseases especially cholera.

Background: Snoring is a common factor of sleep disturbances in children, and may influence their growth. This study aimed to assess the relationship between snoring with height and weight growth in 2-12-year-old children of Qom.
Materials and Methods: In this case-control study, 100 children with snoring (65 boys, 35 girls) and 100 normal children (40 boys, 60 girls) were selected and analyzed. Data were collected from parents of children by filling out Berlin questionnaire and percentile of Height and Weight. The data were analyzed in SPSS version 18 and P value below than 0.05 was considered significant.
Results: The mean (SD) age, weight and height of studied children were 6.81 (±2.93) years, 25.39 (±11.56) kilograms and 116.11 (±20.01) 35% centimeters, respectively. There was significant correlation between weight percentile and snoring in children above 7 years old (p=0.024). Also there was a significant correlation between severity of snoring and weight (p=0.047). There was no significant difference between snoring and height in case and control children.
Conclusion: This study shows the relationship between sleep disturbances, especially snoring, and growth disorders. Informing of parents and physician about this issue may help early diagnosis and treatment of sleep disturbances in children.
