@article{ author = {KhodabakhshiKoolaee, Anahita and Damirchi, Fatemeh}, title = {Comparing Quality of Life Among Female Sex Workers With and Without Addiction}, abstract ={Background: Prostitution and substance abuse are among the crucial social problems in women, which affect the quality of life. However, no study has yet investigated that prostitution and substance abuse affect which dimension(s) of quality of life. The current study aimed to compare different dimensions of quality of life among female sex workers with and without drug abuse. Methods: The research design was ex post facto study. The study sample comprised 120 women (60 female sex workers with substance abuse and 60 without substance abuse). They were selected through convenience sampling method in Tehran, in 2016. They completed WHO Quality of Life-BREF questionnaire. Data analysis was done using multivariate analysis of variance and covariance methods by SPSS V. 20. Results: According to the results, there was a significant difference between female sex workers with and without drug use (P < 0.05) with regard to physical, social relationship and environment health. The sex workers without drug abuse had higher quality of life in aforementioned aspects. However, no significant difference was observed among two groups with regard to psychological health (P > 0.05).  Conclusion: The results indicated that quality of life in female sex workers with using drug is poorer than their counterparts who are not drug users. These findings emphasize that health care providers can consider quality of life as an essential factor in therapeutic intervention (primary and secondary) in prostitutes and addicted women. Female sex workers using drug have the psychological, social, and biological needs that require the immediate and considerable attention.}, Keywords = {Quality of life, Sex workers, Drug users, Women}, volume = {2}, Number = {4}, pages = {201-206}, publisher = { Iran University of Medical Sciences}, title_fa = {}, abstract_fa ={}, keywords_fa = {}, doi = {10.32598/jccnc.2.4.201}, url = {http://jccnc.iums.ac.ir/article-1-105-en.html}, eprint = {http://jccnc.iums.ac.ir/article-1-105-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Client-Centered Nursing Care}, issn = {24764132}, eissn = {24764132}, year = {2016} } @article{ author = {Inanloo, Mehrnoosh and Ramezani, Fahimeh and Seyedfatemi, Naimeh and Moudi, Susan and Haghani, Hami}, title = {The Effect of Coping Strategies Training on the Quality of Life of the Family Caregivers of Patients With Chronic Mental Disorders}, abstract ={Background: Caring of the patients with mental disorders is a responsibility which brings lots of pressures and stresses to family members and lowers their quality of life. The current research aimed to study the effect of training coping strategies on the quality of life of caregivers of patients with chronic mental disorders.  Methods: This study is a non-randomized clinical trial conducted on 94 caregivers of patients with chronic mental disorder. The samples were recruited by convenience sampling method and the eligible ones were put in the intervention and control groups. The data collection tool were demographics questionnaire and SF 36 life quality scale. The coping strategies were taught in eight 90-minute sessions, during 8 consecutive weeks (once a week) for 2 months in groups. The obtained data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics by SPSS V. 20.  Results: The caregivers were mostly female (62.7%) aged between 35 and 55 years. More than 80% of the study subjects were married. Most study subjects in both groups were housewives. In the intervention group, the physical functioning of quality of life before and two months after the intervention showed no significant difference (P = 0.877), but other areas showed significant increase two months later (P < 0.001). In the intervention group, the quality of life significantly increased two months after the intervention (P < 0.001), but it has declined in the control group (P < 0.001).  Conclusion: Based on study findings, coping strategies training was effective in promoting the quality of life. Experts in family health education are in need to educate and train families.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of life skills training on patients’ adaptation with MS. Methods: This study is a quasi-experimental study with a sample size of 80 subjects who were selected with convenient sampling method. Patients were assigned in the experimental and control groups. The experimental group received four 1-hour sessions training of life skills within a month. The control group received routine cares. Patients in both groups completed Coping with Multiple Sclerosis Scale (CMSS) at the beginning and one month after the last training session. To compare the findings between two groups, independent T-Test was used and to compare pre- and post-intervention results, paired T-Test was used. To analyze the data, SPSS 21 was used. Results: Most respondents in both experimental and control groups (55% - 55.7%, respectively) were male. In the control group, the average age of respondents was 32.22 years and in the experimental group it was 33.02 years. There was no significant difference in coping with MS scores between experimental and control groups before life skills training (P > 0.05) but after training, both groups showed significant differences (P > 0.01). Conclusion: Our main study result suggests positive effects of using life skills training. Because the main objective of these trainings was preparing and helping patients to solve problems and difficulties encountered due to their diseases, thus, applying life skills training in care plan is recommended in these patients.}, Keywords = {Multiple Sclerosis, Psychological training, Adaptation }, volume = {2}, Number = {4}, pages = {215-222}, publisher = { Iran University of Medical Sciences}, title_fa = {}, abstract_fa ={}, keywords_fa = {}, doi = {10.32598/jccnc.2.4.2015}, url = {http://jccnc.iums.ac.ir/article-1-104-en.html}, eprint = {http://jccnc.iums.ac.ir/article-1-104-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Client-Centered Nursing Care}, issn = {24764132}, eissn = {24764132}, year = {2016} } @article{ author = {Rafii, Forough and JanAmiri, Maryam and Dehnad, Afsaneh and Haghani, Hami}, title = {The Effect of Workshop and Multimedia Training Methods on Nurses’ Knowledge and Performance on Blood Transfusion}, abstract ={Background: Blood transfusion faults and its consequences are major concerns of health care systems. This study aimed to determine the effects of workshop and multimedia training methods on nurses’ knowledge and performance about blood transfusion. Methods: It was a controlled quasi-experimental study. Sampling was conducted. Data were collected from 37 participants in three hospitals during 2016 by a three-part questionnaire consisting of nurses’ demographic information, routine blood transfusion knowledge (RBTQ) questionnaire, and Purfarzad-performance-evaluation questionnaire. Statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS V. 20. Results: Nurses’ knowledge and performance levels in workshop and multimedia groups increased from the average to the good level. No significant differences was found between workshop and multimedia groups regarding knowledge (P = 0.474) and performance scores (P = 0.984). Results of paired T-Test showed no significant differences before and after knowledge evaluation in control group (P = 0.262), while it revealed significant differences in workshop and multimedia group so that, the knowledge scores level increased from average to good (P = 0.474). Mean (SD) performance scores in multimedia group were 70.36 (7.06) and 79.78 (0.91) before and after intervention, respectively. Therefore, before training the performance of groups was in average levels but they improved to the good levels after training (P = 0.984). Paired T-Test for workshop and multimedia groups before and after intervention revealed significant differences (P < 0.001). Conclusion: This study showed that workshop and multimedia training methods are effective in promoting the nurses’ knowledge and performance. None of these two methods outweighed the other. One reason in this regard might be due to mutual connection between teacher and students, the possibility to ask and answer the questions, discussing in workshop method, and the possibility to repeat the concepts and regulate the pace of training based on individuals learning abilities in multimedia method.}, Keywords = {Workshop, Multimedia, Knowledge, Performance, Nurse, Blood transfusion}, volume = {2}, Number = {4}, pages = {223-230}, publisher = { Iran University of Medical Sciences}, title_fa = {}, abstract_fa ={}, keywords_fa = {}, doi = {10.32598/jccnc.2.4.223}, url = {http://jccnc.iums.ac.ir/article-1-102-en.html}, eprint = {http://jccnc.iums.ac.ir/article-1-102-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Client-Centered Nursing Care}, issn = {24764132}, eissn = {24764132}, year = {2016} } @article{ author = {RouhiBalasi, Leila and Salari, Arsalan and Nourisaeed, Azam and Moaddab, Fatemeh and Shakiba, Maryam and Givzadeh, Hame}, title = {Anxiety and Depression in Patients Undergoing Coronary Angioplasty}, abstract ={Background: Anxiety and depression are the most important factors on the quality of life in patients after coronary angioplasty. These patients have less capability for adjusting themselves with changes in life style, diet, medication and physical activity adherence. This study aimed to determine predictive factors of anxiety and depression in patients undergoing coronary angioplasty.  Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, 148 patients were selected by convenience sampling method. Data were collected by a 2-section questionnaire, including sociodemographic factors and the hospital anxiety and depression scale. Multivariate logistic regression was used to determine predictors of anxiety and depression. Using a convenience sampling method, the patients were selected among those patients undergoing PCI in Heshmat Heart Medical Hospital in Rasht, Iran between March 2015 and June 2015. Analyses were performed using SPSS 19. Results: The majority of samples were male (61.5%), married (93.2%), retired (31.1%), and illiterate (48%). Their mean (SD) age was 60.02(10.5) years. According to the findings, 62.2% suffered from clinical anxiety and 20.3% suffered from clinical depression. The results of multivariate adjusted model showed that education level is significantly associated with mild depression. Also sex and age are significant predictors for severe depression. Male patients were less likely to have severe depression compared to female ones . Middle age patients (45-64 years) compared to older adults were more likely to be diagnosed with severe depression.

In Iraqi Kurdistan Region, few women undergo screening and the incidence of cervical cancer is on the increase as is the case in most developing countries. The purpose of this study was to explore women’s individual factors affecting the performance of the cervical cancer screening in Kurdistan Region, Iraq. Methods: The present study adopted a qualitative design based on conventional content analysis approach. Purposive sampling was used to select 22 women who had either had a Pap-Smear or refused to have one. Semi structured in depth interviews were conducted with each individual to collect data. Data were collected from August 7, 2015 to July 22, 2016. The criteria for including samples for this study were aS follows: 1) Married Kurdish women who are living in Kurdistan Region, Iraq, 2) Willingness to participate in the study, and 3) Not undergone cervical cancer screening. Non Iraqi Kurdish women were excluded. Each interview lasted for 42-70 minutes on average. In order to analyze the collected data, the obtained purified codes were compared and simultaneously clustered and classified under certain themes using their similarities and differences. Results: Seven main themes including age, educational level, having multiple full-pregnancies, existence of signs and symptoms of cervical cancer, psychological factors, poverty, and marital status emerged during the data analysis.  Conclusion: The findings of this study indicated that individual factors can prevent women from cervical cancer screening in Kurdistan Region, Iraq.
