● Traumatic events could be accompanied by positive personal and psychological changes.
● Post-Traumatic growth is a positive change that a subject experiences as a result of the struggle with a traumatic event.
● No scale is available to measure these aspects in patients with cancer.
● This study aimed at designing and evaluating the psychometric properties of the Persian version of post-traumatic growth inventory in patients with cancer. 
● This study revealed that the Persian version of post-traumatic growth inventory with 24 items and 5 dimensions is a valid and reliable tool for assessing PTG in Iranian patients with cancer. 
Plain Language Summary 
Although the experience of every traumatic event is associated with negative psychological consequences, positive personal and psychological changes, called Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG) may also be experienced. Recognizing the different dimensions of positive psychological changes after a traumatic event can help nurses to use these dimensions in adjusting care planning to adapt patients to stressful situations. This study revealed that the Persian version of PTG inventory with 24 items and 5 dimensions is a valid and reliable tool for assessing PTG in Iranian patients with cancer.

Having a smartphone application to monitor the compliance of pregnant women with taking iron supplements is effective. It can be used as a reminder for the regular use of iron supplements; thus, reducing the incidence of anemia in pregnancy. According to the present study findings, using a smartphone application increases hemoglobin levels by improving the adherence of pregnant women to taking iron supplements.
