It seems that researches on nursing students perceptions about nursing profession at first and at the end of their education in our country(Iran) ins’t enough. So this study was conducted with the aim of describing the nature of first and last year nursing bachelor students about their own profession. Materials & Methods: This study is a qualitative one, and the participants of this study were 20 nursing students who were in the first and last year of their education in bachelor degree. Sampling method was purposeful. The data were collected and analyzed (content analysis) simultaneously. After explaining the aim of research to the participants, and taking written consent and keeping the record of interviews, unstructured interview was used to gather the data. Results: In the current study, conceptual domains of bachelor’s degree students about this profession included: “The nature of nursing (knowledge/ job)”, “The profession’s social status” and “Actually/delivering nursing (nursing administering)”. The student were fully aware and close to nursing reality in their last year. Another classification as “effective (positive /negative) factors on nursing student’s perceptions about their own profession” were recognized as well. Conclusion: According to findings of this study, it seems that some interventions must be conducted in order to assess and inform students about their profession in three dimensions of profession concerning factors which are affecting their perceptions.

designing a Minimum Data Set for National Cancer Registry in Iran Sadoughi F [1] , Safdari R [2] *, Meraji M [3] , Ramzan Ghorbani N [4] , Ghazisaeedi M [5] Received: 9 Jul , 2013 Accepted: 21 Sep , 2013 Abstract Background & Aims : Due to the widespread increase of cancer diseases, cancer registries as foundations for a struggle plan against the disease have been established. The resulting data of cancer research have great value in conducting a research on primary and secondary prevention, health care planning and cancer control. The purpose of this study was to design a minimum data set for national cancer registry system to standardize cancer data in Iran. Materials & Methods : The present study was a descriptive –comparative investigation conducted in Iran. The population of the study consisted of six countries: Iran, Malaysia, Australia, Japan, Denmark and the United Kingdom. The study was a literature review including library resources and information on the databases using data extraction form. The data were analyzed by comparative tables using similarities and dissimilarities of the cancer registry systems in the countries under the study. Then, three oncologists in association with three health information management experts formed a panel to reach an agreement on a minimum data set on the basis of the new data. Results: According to the findings of the comparative study a national minimum data set was proposed. This data set was comprised of three sub sets of information: demographics, tumor and its treatment, patient death. Conclusion: Regarding the crucial role of minimum data set in decision makings, statistical reports, consensus on a uniform set of data, and deployment of standardized data in all cancer centers, the use of the proposed minimum data set of the present study is highly recommended.

Smoking cessetation can prevent the death, but the rate of quitting smoking is low. Transtheoritical model (TTM) is one of the models in health education that was applied successfully in quitting. The aim of this study was to investigate the duration of cessaation based on transtheoritical model on cognitive and behavioral processes. Materials & Methods: In a randomized clinical trial study, 110 smokers were divided into two groups of treatment and control. Data collection was done by using demoghraphic variables as well as a questionnaire based on TTM construction standard measures including cognitive and behavioral processes. Treatment group received 5 sessions of intervention, and smoking cessation rates were measured after 3 and 6 months. Data analyzed using repeated mesure analysis of variance, analysis of covariance and independent sample of t-test. Results: The mean age of the treatment and control groups was 38.1 ± 9.14 and 39.16 ± 9.12 respectively, which was not statistically significant (p=0.322). In a 6 month followup after intervention, the mean cognitition score on the quitted, and nonquitted subjects was 3.045 ± 0.33, and 3.14 ± 0.55 respectively, which was statistically significant (p=0.014). Moreover, the mean behavior processes was 4.48 ± 0.18 and 2.73 ± .74 respectively, which was significant as well (p=0.024). Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, continuous abstinence rate was significantly high among treatment group subjects comparing to the control group. Relevant organizations are suggested to be active on education, monitoring and follow-up of those who want to quit smoking.

The effect of foot reflexology on anxiety in patients with coronary artery bypass surgery referred to Seyed-al-Shohada teaching hospital, Urmia, 2012 Rigi F [1] , Feizi A [2] *, Naseri M [3] , Salehi Ardabili SH [4] , Bazdar P [5] Received: 16 Jul , 2013 Accepted: 14 Sep , 2013 Abstract Background & Aims : One of the problems that patients with coronary artery bypass surgery encounter is anxiety that can have undesirable consequences. This research aims to investigate the effects of foot reflexology on anxiety in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery. Materials & Methods : This clinical trial was performed on 52 patients after coronary artery bypass surgery. Data collection instruments included a demographic questionnaire, and the Spielberg’s anxiety inventory. The patients were randomly assigned into two groups of experimental and control groups. Foot reflexology was performed for 30 min in the experimental group. Anxiety levels were measured before and after intervention. The control group did not receive any intervention and anxiety was measured twice within 30 minutes. Results: Patients in the intervention group had significantly decreased in anxiety after the foot reflexology (P=0.000). However, no significant difference was observed in the control group. The mean anxiety score between the two groups before the intervention was not statistically significant. But anxiety scores between the two groups after intervention was statistically significant (P= 0.000) Conclusion: This study showed that foot reflexology can be used as an effective, safe and cost-effective nursing intervention in reducing anxiety in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery.

Developmental millstones in children with normal, low, and very low birth weights. Abdeyazdan Z [1] , Ehsanpour S [2] *, Hemmati E [3] Received: 22 May , 2013 Accepted: 11 Sep , 2013 Abstract Background & Aims : In recent years with the development of NICUs, survival rates of VLBW and LBW infants has increased in many countries including Iran. There is concern that this increased survival is associated with increased rates of some disabilities, but some studies have reported improved survival without increased morbidity. Until now, there are few studies about long term complications due to VLBW in developing countries including Iran. The present study investigated and compared the development of children with normal, low, and very low birth weight infants. We're trying to answer the question whether there is any relationship between birth weight and child development. Materials & Methods : In a retrospective study 214 infants who had inclusion criteria were enrolled. Their development indices were evaluated according to the information contained in their medical records. The data were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis, chi-square, ANOVA and Pearson co efficient tests by using SPSS software version 11. Results: Lack of the expected motor and sensory aspects of development had the highest frequency in VLBW infants from 2 – 15 months of age. There was inverse relationship between birth weight and lack of motor development, but there were no significant difference between NBW, LBW, and VLBW infants for their language and also cognitive development. Conclusion: Developmental disorder in children with low birth weight occurred mostly in the motor domain. Therefore, it is recommended to all employees of the health services to pay special attention to the key points of motor development. If there is any symptoms suggestive of developmental delay immediate referral to higher levels of care should be taken.
