In this regard, improving spiritual intelligence and paying attention to the psychological well-being of employees can help in the satisfaction with the lives. Accordingly, the present study aimed to determine the mediating role of psychological well-being in the relationship between spiritual intelligence and life satisfaction of nurses working in Lamerd city. Methods: In the present study descriptive-correlation method was applied. The statistical population of the study included 110 nurses working in the city of Lamerd. Due to the limited population nurses were included in the research using the census method of all members of the community. To collect data, three standard questionnaires of spiritual intelligence, Badie et al., Carole Reef’s Welfare Scale and Life satisfaction scale of Diner et al. were used. The reliability of the tool was calculated to be 0.87,0.83 and 0.81, using Cronbach’s alpha, respectively. The data analysis process was performed using statistical correlation, regression, and structural equation modeling in Lisrel and SPSS V. 19 software. Results: According to the results, there was a positive and significant relationship between the spiritual intelligence (r = 0.41, P < 0.01) and the life satisfaction of nurses and between psychological well-being and life satisfaction of nurses (r = 0.46, P = 0.01). There was a positive and significant relationship between spiritual intelligence (r = 0.38, P < 0.01) with psychological well-being of nurses and healthcare providers. Also, the path coefficients of spiritual intelligence dimensions were compared from stage one to stage three. By reducing the coefficients of the direct path, the general thinking and belief in life satisfaction (from 0.34 to 0.28), the ability to cope and interaction with problems on life satisfaction (from 0.38 to 0.32), self-awareness and love (from 0.33 to 30), moral satisfaction on satisfaction from life (from 0.27 to 0.23), the psychological well-being variable was mediated predictor of the relationship between the dimensions of spiritual intelligence and life satisfaction. Conclusion: The results demonstrated that there is a positive and significant relationship between spiritual intelligence and psychological well-being with life satisfaction of nurses and healthcare providers. In this regard, psychological well-being plays a mediating role between spiritual intelligence and life satisfaction.}, Keywords = {Life satisfaction, Psychological well-being, Healthcare provider, Spiritual intelligence}, volume = {3}, Number = {3}, pages = {169-178}, publisher = { Iran University of Medical Sciences}, title_fa = {}, abstract_fa ={}, keywords_fa = {}, doi = {10.32598/jccnc.3.3.169}, url = {http://jccnc.iums.ac.ir/article-1-151-en.html}, eprint = {http://jccnc.iums.ac.ir/article-1-151-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Client-Centered Nursing Care}, issn = {24764132}, eissn = {24764132}, year = {2017} } @article{ author = {MasrorRoudsari, Daryadokht and Badizadeh, Sahab and Janani, Leil}, title = {The Effect of Self-Care Education Program on Anthropometric Indicators in Postmenopausal Women With Metabolic Syndrome}, abstract ={Background: Metabolic syndrome is a disorder associated with obesity. Compared with men, postmenopausal women are at higher risk of being affected by this chronic disease. This study aimed to determine the effect of self-care education program on anthropometric indicators in postmenopausal women with metabolic syndrome. Methods: A cluster randomized controlled trial was performed on 120 postmenopausal women aged 45-60 years with metabolic syndrome at the 8 healthcare centers of Tehran municipality. The study was carried out in the second half of 1395. In this study, healthcare centers were randomly allocated to experimental and control groups. Then, sampling was performed as targeted and accessible from each center. The intervention was done based on the educational needs of patients and according to the Orem framework. This intervention was presented as a 5-session self-care education program. The training program was implemented within 5 weeks during. Training groups consisted of 5-7 people. Anthropometric information was investigated before and after the end (8 weeks) of the training program in both groups. Data were analyzed using SPSS (version 22) and STATA (version 13) software, and Chi-Square test, T-Independent test, T-Paired test and SVY environment.

It exacerbates anxiety, irritability, and nervousness and worsens the cardiovascular function. This study aimed at evaluating the quality of sleep in patients admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit. Methods: This was a descriptive study with 93 patients hospitalized in critical care units of three teaching hospitals in 2016. The samples were chosen using a convenient sampling method. The quality of sleep was assessed in two consecutive days using the demographic data form and the Richards–Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RCSQ). Descriptive and inferential statistics was used for data analysis via the SPSS software version 20. Results: It was found that more than % 90 of the patients in the cardiac care units had a low level of quality of sleep. The patients had problems in the depth of sleep, ease in falling asleep, frequent waking from sleep, ease in returning to sleep, and subjective sleep quality. The mean scores of the quality of sleep before hospitalization and in the first night after hospitalization were 63.68 (SD = 17.96) and 54.2 (SD = 16.90), respectively. A statistically significant correlation was reported between the quality of sleep in the night before and the first night of hospitalization (P < 0.0001).  Conclusion: Due to the high prevalence of sleep disorders in patients admitted to cardiac intensive care units and the consequences of low sleep quality on their health, appropriate interventions for improving the quality of sleep in patients admitted to coronary care units are required.}, Keywords = {Sleep quality, Hospital, Sleep deprivation, Coronary care unit}, volume = {3}, Number = {3}, pages = {189-196}, publisher = { Iran University of Medical Sciences}, title_fa = {}, abstract_fa ={}, keywords_fa = {}, doi = {10.32598/jccnc.3.3.189}, url = {http://jccnc.iums.ac.ir/article-1-130-en.html}, eprint = {http://jccnc.iums.ac.ir/article-1-130-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Client-Centered Nursing Care}, issn = {24764132}, eissn = {24764132}, year = {2017} } @article{ author = {SalihMohammedAminKamali, Aram and Sadeghi, Roya and Tol, Azar and Yaseri, Mahdi}, title = {Predictors of Health-Promoting Behaviors Among Kurdish Healthcare Providers in Iraqi Kurdista}, abstract ={Background: Health-promotion is universally accepted as the effective method for modifying the behavior of individuals towards ideal health. Thus, the present cross-sectional predictive study determined the predictors of health-promoting behaviors among Kurdish Healthcare Providers in Iraqi Kurdistan. Methods: Demographic data were collected from a sample of 460 healthcare providers instead of the standard questionnaire of health-promoting lifestyle profile-II. These data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean and frequency) as well as inferential statistics including KST, t-test, Mann-Whiney test, ANOVA, and Wilcoxon sign-rank test using SPSS version 23. Results: Approximately 55% of the participants were male, and 67.4 % were married. In addition, > 72.5 % of the participants had a family comprising of at least four members. Although 42 % of the participants had < 5 years of work experience, an 82.1 % of the current study population held a Diploma. Moreover, 45.4 % of the healthcare providers exhibited satisfaction with their income. The current study revealed that healthcare providers perceived that the health status was significantly predictive of the nutritional behavior and physical activity to gender (P = 0.002, P = 0.003, respectively), spiritual growth to education level (0.014) and income satisfaction (0.02), as well as, interpersonal relation to expertise, (0.046), and work experience (0.036). Among all the samples scored, physical activities were found to be the lowest, while the spiritual growth was the highest. Conclusion: The results illustrated that the participants do not undergo the complete health-promoting behaviors, especially, physical activity. However, these behaviors play a critical role in health maintenance as well as improving the quality of life. Hence, the provision of strategies, including those in accordance with predictors of health-promoting behaviors, is vital for improving the health status of the healthcare providers. }, Keywords = {Health-promoting lifestyle, Healthcare providers, Non-communicable diseases}, volume = {3}, Number = {3}, pages = {197-204}, publisher = { Iran University of Medical Sciences}, title_fa = {}, abstract_fa ={}, keywords_fa = {}, doi = {10.32598/jccnc.3.3.197}, url = {http://jccnc.iums.ac.ir/article-1-132-en.html}, eprint = {http://jccnc.iums.ac.ir/article-1-132-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Client-Centered Nursing Care}, issn = {24764132}, eissn = {24764132}, year = {2017} } @article{ author = {Reisi, Mahnoush and Javadzede, Homamodin and Sharifirad, Gholamreza and Mostafavi, Firoozeh and Tavassoli, Elahe and Imanzad, Masoumeh}, title = {Effects of an Educational Intervention on Self-Care and Metabolic Control in Patients With Type II Diabetes}, abstract ={Background: Although compliance with all self-care behaviors is necessary for successful management of diabetes, patients with diabetes often refuse favorable self-care.
