Abstract
Background and Aim: Depression is the most common and important psychological disorder among End-Stage Renal Failure especially those who are undergoing hemodialysis, that can have a negative impact on quality of life and treatment acceptance. Since the patient participation in self-care activities, lead to more independence and patient adjustment with his/her illness, the aim of this research is to determine the relationship between self-care and depression in hemodialysis patients.
Materials and Methods: This is an analytical-descriptive (cross-sectional) study from correlation type that was done on 60 patients under hemodialysis treatment that were selected in randomized cluster sampling in Imam Reza and 17 Shahrivar hospitals of Mashhad in 2006. Data were collected through three questionnaires including demographic information, self-care and depression of CES-D. The data were analyzed by SPSS 11.5 soft ware and with Pearson correlation test, linear regression, Kendal b Tao and kruskal-wallis test. (p<0.05)
Results: The mean age of the patients was 42.6±12.3 years and the most frequencies were 63.3% males, 78.3% unemployed, 76.6% married, and 33.9% with elementary education. The findings showed that there is a strong negative relationship between self-care and depression. It means that with self-care increase, depression rate is decreasing in the patients. (p<0.001, r = -0.59). There was a significant relationship between depression and self-care levels. (p= 0.016)
Conclusion: There is a negative relationship between depression and self-care in hemodialysis patients. It is better and recommended to improve and prepare any way and methods (teaching and …) for improving self-care in hemodialysis patients behavior to decrease physical and mental complications resulted from hemodialysis treatment.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Daily increasing usage of psychoactive drugs among youth is one of the significant damages and catastrophic cases of today. Since these substances are new, the people information is not enough about them, and then this study was conducted to determine the knowledge and attitude levels of Gonabad university students toward psychoactive drugs and its abuse prevalence.
Material and Methods: This descriptive study was done on 350 students of Gonabad universities of Payam-e-noor, Azad and medical sciences in 2008. Research tool was a questionnaire including some questions on student’s knowledge, attitude and usage of psychoactive drugs. The collected data analyzed by SPSS 11.5 by statistical tests such as chi-square, Fisher exact test and Student t- test (p<0.05).
Results: The knowledge of 21.7% of the students was weak, 77.1% average, just 1.1% was well and the attitude of 15.4% was weak, 63.1% average, and 21.4% was well. The prevalence of drug abuse was 6% that had a meaningful relationship with attitude and sex, dwelling location, income, father job and other substance abuse.
Conclusion: In general, the student knowledge and attitude toward psychoactive drugs is not well. Incorrect attitude well-being life, live in rent houses without enough control over it, are from effective factors for tendency to these substance abuse. It seems that basic programs design is necessary to improve knowledge and attitude of students, parents and educational institutions more control over their children and students

Abstract
Background and Aim: Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) is one of the less dangerous treatments for psychological disorders and the best one which receives much consideration in psychiatry today and it is also performed under general anesthesia. Because sodium thiopental and propofol are the most common drugs used for this purpose, in this study we compared sodium thiopental and propofol for convulsion time and recovery duration in ECT.
Materials and Methods: In this semi-experimental study, 26 subjects were divided into two groups randomly. In one group propofol was used and in the other one sodium thiopental for induction, but muscle relaxation and premedication were the same for both groups. The subjects were monitored for blood pressure and cardiovascular response, and after ECT the time of convulsion and recovery was recorded. Blood pressure and heart rate of patients were checked and recorded before anesthesia, one and five minutes after ECT. The data were analyzed through SPSS software, version 11.5, applying independent t-test (p<0.1).
Results: The mean of convulsion duration was 34.4±6.3 minutes in propofol group and 41.7±9.7 in thiopental group which showed that there was a significant difference between the groups (p=0.003). The mean of recovery duration in propofol group was less than that of thiopental group which indicated that there was a significant difference (p=0.09). Also, the mean of blood pressure in propofol group was less than that of thiopental group, a difference which was statistically significant (p<0.1).
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that ECT with propofol causes a faster recovery and reduces the occurrence of homodynamic changes. Therefore, it is suitable to use propofol instead of sodium thiopental for ECT especially in patients with high blood pressure.

Abstract
Aims: As toxic pollutants, phenol and its solutions in water affect human’s health. Noticing the risk, crucial standards have been provided by different organizations to control concentrations of the solutions in water. The aim of this study was to investigate nano-photocatalytic process of nano ZnO/UV radiation in the analysis of phenol solution in water.
Materials & Methods: In the laboratory-experimental study, samples of artificial wastewater containing 50, 100, and 200mg/l phenol were poured into a 1l laboratory readymade reactor via discontinuous method. The effects of the parameters of 50, 75, and 125W UV radiation, 0.1 and 0.2 g/l ZnO concentrations, and pH 5, 7, and 9 at 5-30min oxidation times on phenol removal were separately and simultaneously investigated. Final phenol concentration was determined by 500nm wavelength spectrophotometry method.
Findings: After 30min, pH 5 having reached pH 9, the process efficiency decreased from about 93% to 73%. Dose of ZnO nanoparticles having been increased from 0.1g/l to 0.2g/l, the efficiency of phenol analysis led to a decrease in phenol removal from 93.2% to 88.4%. Phenol concentration having been increased from 50mg/l to 200mg/l, efficiency was decreased from 93% to about 71%.
Conclusion: Dose of ZnO nanoparticles, pH, and primary phenol concentration being reduced and oxidation time and UV radiation intensity being increased, phenol removal efficiency increases during the process

Abstract
Aims: Loneliness is an unpleasant, disturbaing, and prevalent experience in the adolescents. The repetition of the experience badly affects the adolescents’ physical, mental, and emotional health. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of parenting style training on the adolescents’ loneliness feeling.
Materials & Methods: In the semi-experimental study, 50 adolescents with loneliness feeling, aged between 14 and 17 years, and their parents were studied in Gonabad from July to December 2015. The subjects were selected via stepwise sampling method. The subjects having been divided into experimental and control groups, parents of experimental group received eleven 1.5- to 2-hour training sessions for 6 weeks. Control group received no training. Data was collected by the UCLA revised loneliness feeling scale. Data was analyzed by SPSS 20 software using one-way ANOVA, Chi-square, paired T, and independent T tests.
Findings: The prevailing parenting style in the mothers of control (32.22±3.80) and experiment (33.78±3.89) groups was ex catherda. The prevailing parenting style in the fathers of control (30.81±4.66) and experiment (31.65±6.30) groups was ex catherda. There was an insignificant increase in the mean loneliness feeling in control group from 41.00±4.40 (befor the intervention) to 41.27±4.64 (after the ntervention; p=0.642). There was an insignificant reduction in the loneliness feeling in experimental group from 39.78±4.08 (before the intervention) to 39.35±6.84 (after the intervention; p=0.776).
Conclusion: Teaching the parenting style to the parents does not affect the adolescences’ loneliness feeling.

Abstract
Aims: As a chronic worldwide spreading disease, diabetes negatively affects the persons’ self-concept. Since self-concept plays an important role in daily life, it should be under consideration especially in the patients with chronic diseases. The aim of the study was to determine the effects of the partnership-care model intervention on self-concept enhancement in persons with type II diabetes.
Materials & Methods: In the controlled randomized clinical trial, 60 patients with type II diabetes referred to Imam Zaman Hospital were studied in Mashhad in 2015. The subjects, selected via available sampling method, were divided into two groups including control and experimental groups. Data was collected using a three-section questionnaire including demographic information, the disease information, and Beck self-concept test sections. The self-concept of the subjects having been determined, seven 90-minute partnership-care intervention sessions were conducted in experimental group. Then, the self-concept was measured in both groups. Data was analyzed by SPSS 20 software using paired T, independent T, and Chi-square tests.
Findings: Before and after the intervention, the mean self-concept scores were not significantly different in control group (p=0.066). However, the difference was significant in experimental group (p<0.001). In addition, the mean scores of control and experimental groups were not significantly different before the intervention (p=0.537). Nevertheless, the mean self-concept scores of the groups were significantly different after the intervention (p<0.001).
Conclusion: The intervention based on the partner-ship care model enhances the self-concept in patients with type II diabetes.

Abstract
Aims: Blood sugar control is an important factor in mortality reduction in diabetic patients with acute and critical illness. ICU nurses have an important role in preparing and controlling the blood glucose sample. Due to the lack of evidence for appropriateness of measuring blood glucose in patients with hemodynamic instability using glucometers, the current study aimed to compare the glucometry results with venous blood sugar in diabetic patients undergoing open heart surgery with hemodynamic instability.
Instrument & Methods: In this comparative study with a time-series design, which was conducted in the heart surgery and ICU wards of Vali-Asr hospital of Birjand in 2015, 60 diabetic patients were selected based on convenience sampling method. Blood glucose samples were measured through venous blood sampling and simultaneously with glucometry method at four stages (before surgery and admission to the operating room, opening time of the thorax, admission in the ICU, and one hour after admission to the ICU). The data were analyzed with SPSS 16 software, using Pearson correlation test, repeated measures analysis and Bland and Altman’s charts.
Findings: There was a significant difference between glucometry blood glucose average with venous blood glucose at all four sampling occasions (p<0.001). Bland and Altman’s chart showed difference between two methods. There was a strong correlation between two measuring methods of blood sugar (p<0.001; r=0.94).
Conclusion: It seems inappropriate to measure blood sugar in patients with hemodynamic instability via the glucometry method and venous blood sampling seems more reasonable.

Abstract
Aims: IV catheter insertion is the most common invasive hospital procedure and its complications are costly for the health care system and patients. Phlebitis, or inflammation of the vein, is an important cause of premature catheter failure. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of temperature equalization of intravenous administration with body temperature on occurrence of phlebitis.
Materials & Methods: This randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted among 106 patients admitted to internal wards of Imam Ali hospital in Sarayan, Iran in 2016 and required intravenous administration. The patients were divided randomly into intervention (53 cases) and control groups (53cases). In intervention group solutions and medications was infused by infusion pump SN-1500SERIAL at range of body normal temperature (37°c) and in control group at a mean temperature of 24°c. Insertion sites were observed every 2 hours for evidence of phlebitis according to Infusion Nursing Society Phlebitis. Data were collected by using information sheet and they were analyzed by using SPSS 22 software and T-test, Chi square test, Spearman test and regression test in Significance level less than 0.05.
Findings: There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of age, sex, education, marital status, underlying illness, addiction, BMI and mean of received volume. Also results showed no significant difference between the two groups in terms of occurrence of phlebitis (P=0.28). But it decreased at the first and second 24 hours in the intervention group.
Conclusion: Although temperature equalization of intravenous administration with body temperature have low effect on occurrence of phlebitis in first and second days of intervention, but this study showed no significant evidence. Further study with lower and higher than body temperature is recommended.

Abstract
Aims Preoperative anxiety could increase postoperative pain, the need for analgesics, and the patient's hospital stay. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of aromatherapy with rose on preoperative anxiety before abdominal operation.
Methods & Materials This clinical trial was performed on 90 patients undergoing abdominal operation at 15Khordad Hospital, in 2017. The study patients were assigned to the intervention and control groups by permuted block randomization method (n=45/group). The study instrument was the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). The STAI was completed before and after conducting the intervention in both study groups. The obtained data were analyzed by SPSS using descriptive statistics, Student’s t-test, Paired Samples t-test, and Chi-squared test at a significance level of P<0.05.
Findings The mean±SD age of the investigated patients in the intervention and control groups were 37.13±31.35 and 44.15±51.65 years, respectively. Most frequent operation type was inguinal hernia in both study groups. Before the intervention, there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of anxiety (P>0.05); however, after the intervention, there was a significant difference between the study groups in terms of apparent and total anxiety (P<0.05). Furthermore, there was no significant difference between the study groups, in terms of latent anxiety (P>0.05).
Conclusion Aromatherapy with rose is effective in decreasing the apparent anxiety of patients before surgery. Thus, it is recommended to be used as a complementary, inexpensive, and non-invasive treatment at healthcare centers.
