Patients’ Satisfaction of Health Care System Reform Plan in Educational-Medical Centers of Rasht City in North of Iran, 2018
Subject
The topic of the resource
Satisfaction, Hospital, Health care system reform plan, Inpatients
Description
An account of the resource
Introduction: One of the goals of the health system is to ensure that people are healthy. Reaching
this goal is only possible through the provision of the proper services. The satisfaction of patients
with the quality of health care services is used as a questionare to investigate the effectiveness of
hospital services concerning consumption management and patient care quality. It assists managers
and the decision-making network to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the system.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the satisfaction of hospitalized patients in educational
and medical centers of Rasht City, Iran with the “Health Care System Reform Plan” in 2019.
Materials and Methods: The present study is an analytical cross-sectional study. A total of 395
patients hospitalized in educational and medical centers of Rasht City were selected based on
the stratified random sampling method and according to the inclusion criteria. The study data
were collected by a questionnaire examining patients’ satisfaction with the “Health Care System
Reform Plan” developed by the Treatment Deputy of Guilan University of Medical Sciences.
The questionnaire has 37 questions in 5 areas of patient’s satisfaction with hoteling, hospital
bills reduction program, resident physician program, notification program, the program for the
promotion of normal childbirth. Data analysis performed using descriptive statistics indicators and
Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis, and logistic regression model.
Results: The results showed the Mean±SD of samples’ age was 43.51±18 years. The majority
(23.8%) of the samples were less than 30 years old. Moreover, there was a significant difference
between satisfaction score of the Plan (P=0.009) in terms of gender, hospital bills (P=0.001), resident
physicians (P=0.009), and notification program (P=0.032). Also, men had a higher overall score than
women. The findings of this study showed that the Mean±SD satisfaction was equal to 82.8 9.1 with
a minimum score of 39.71. In the logistics model, only two variables of the hospital (P=0.017) and
job (P=0.001) were considered as the most important factors related to the overall satisfaction with
the “Health Care System Reform Plan”.
Conclusion: Based on the results of the study, patients’ satisfaction with the implementation of the
“Health Care System Reform Plan” was at the acceptable level and various factors have contributed
to this level of satisfaction.

Effects of the Mother’s Individual Stimulation on the Growth and Development of Infants With Low Birth Weight History
Subject
The topic of the resource
Stimulation, Growth, Development, Low birth weight
Description
An account of the resource
Introduction: Mothers can immediately recognize the strength of their child’s development
process, thereby, providing early stimulation to the child’s physical, mental, and social aspects
of growth and development. Therefore, mothers and their skills play a beneficial role in the
child’s overall development and growth process.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of the mother’s independent stimulation
on the growth and development of infants.
Materials and Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with a nonrandomized
pretest-posttest design. The study population included mothers and their 0- to 12-month-
old infants with a history of Low Birth Weight (LBW) who met the inclusion criteria.
The study was conducted in Karang Pule Health Center’s service area in Mataram City,
Indonesia. The length measuring tools and digital infant scale were used to measure the
developmental factors. Also, the prescreening development questionnaire was used to
assess the infants’ development. The frequency, mean, and standard deviation were used
as descriptive statistical analysis, also, the Wilcoxon test was used for bivariate analysis.
Results: The growth and developmental scores of the infants with LBW increased after
receiving the independent stimulation from their mothers. The observed changes were
as follows: The Mean±SD weight gain of 547.33±1459.40 g, the Mean±SD body length
increase of 3.46±6.32 cm, the Mean±SD head circumference increase of 1.65±3.40 cm, and
the Mean±SD infants’ development increase of 0.83±2.16 cm. Furthermore, the mother’s
independent stimulation affected the growth (P=0.0001; body length, weight, and head
circumference) and the development (P=0.04) of the infants with LBW history.
Conclusion: Mother’s independent stimulation significantly influences the growth (body
length, weight, and head circumference) and the development of infants with LBW history.
Further studies in this area are recommended.

Comparison of Breastfeeding Self-efficacy in Mothers With Different Ages
Subject
The topic of the resource
Self-efficacy, Breastfeeding mothers, Predictive factors
Description
An account of the resource
Introduction: Breastfeeding is one of the most important health-promoting behaviors
and one of the main goals of the World Health Organization. Breastfeeding self-efficacy is
an important variable in predicting the duration of breastfeeding and its continuation.
Breastfeeding self-efficacy is a modifiable parameter that is affected by various individual and
social factors.
Objective: This study aimed to compare breastfeeding self-efficacy levels of mothers with
different ages referred to comprehensive health centers.
Materials and Methods: This is a correlational study with a cross-sectional design. Study
samples were 460 breastfeeding mothers of different ages referred to comprehensive
health centers in Rasht City, Iran in 2019. The data collection tool was a two-part
questionnaire: A demographic form and a breastfeeding self-efficacy scale-short form
(BSES-SF). Data analysis was performed using the independent t-test, Analysis of Variance
(ANOVA), and regression.
Results: The Mean±SD scores of breastfeeding self-efficacy were as follows: 43.69±12.48 in
mothers under 19 years old, 50.26±10.93 years in mothers aged 19-35 years, and 58.35±8.53
years in mothers over 35 years old. There were statistically significant relationships between
breastfeeding self-efficacy and maternal age (P=0.0001), housing status (P=0.0001), monthly
income (P=0.0001), breastfeeding history (P=0.0001) and source of breastfeeding education
(P=0.014), number of pregnancies (P=0.0001) and number of deliveries (P=0.0001). The
variables of maternal age (β=4.130, P=0.0001, 95%CI; 2.165-6.051), monthly income
(β=1.735, P=0.002, 95% CI; 1.239-3.922), breastfeeding history (β=5.505, P=0.0001, 95%CI;
4.598-9.183) and number of pregnancies (β=3.553, P=0.0001, 95%CI; 1.278-4.098) were
predictors of breastfeeding self-efficacy.
Conclusion: Breastfeeding self-efficacy increases with the older age and its level is lower in
mothers aged < 19 years than in other age groups. Counseling support for mothers at this age
is more necessary, and the need-based educational program should be designed for them.

The Relationship Between Social Support From Family and Quality of Life Among Cancer Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study
Subject
The topic of the resource
Quality of Life, Social support, Family, Cancer
Description
An account of the resource
Introduction: Improving the Quality of Life (QoL) is considered one of the main objectives in
the care of cancer patients. Achieving this objective, it is essential to determine the factors
affecting QoL in cancer patients. The studies in the literature have determined the effects of
various factors on QoL but social support from family has remained to be studied.
Objective: The present study aimed to determine the relationship between perceived social
support from family and QoL in cancer patients.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in an oncology unit of
a university hospital in İzmir City, Turkey, from March to October 2019. A convenience
sample of 276 cancer patients participated in the study. A patient identification form,
the Perceived Social Support from family scale (PSS-Family), and the Quality of Life index-
cancer version (QLI-C) were used for data collection. The scores of PSS-Family and QLI-C
ranged 0-20 and 66-396, respectively. Regression analysis was used to estimate the effect
of perceived social support from family on QoL.
Results: Of the participants, 65.2% were female. The Mean±SD age of the study sample was
47.5±14.4 years. Also, the Mean±SD scores of PSS-Family and QLI-C were 16.43±3.01 and
307.77±27.48, respectively. Regression analysis revealed that perceived social support from
family was associated with a relative increase in QoL index (B=3.44, P=0.001, R2
=0.141).
Conclusion: Perceived social support from family is positively associated with QoL in cancer
patients. Nurses should consider this relationship when they plan to improve the QoL of
cancer patients.

Relationship of Humidity and Atmospheric Pressure With the Risk of Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest
Subject
The topic of the resource
Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest, Climatic variables, Climate change, Mortality
Description
An account of the resource
Introduction: Climate change, which affects human health, is one of the most important
public health concerns. Few studies have examined the effects of humidity and atmospheric
pressure as risk factors on the cardiac system and Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the relationship between climatic variables
(humidity and atmospheric pressure) with Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest , and its outcome
over 3 years (2016-2018).
Materials and Methods: This is an ecological time-series study. Participants were 392
patients with Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest referred to a governmental Hospital in Rasht
City, Iran from 2016 to 2018. Meteorological data and information related to Out-of-
hospital Cardiac Arrest and its consequences were collected from reliable resources and
were analyzed in R software.
Results: Low humidity increased the relative risk of Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest (OR=1.54,
95%CI: 1.001-2.69, P=0.001) and failed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (OR=1.76, 95% CI;
1.006-3.79, P=0.001). Higher atmospheric pressure was associated with increased risk of
Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest (OR=1.16, 95%CI; 1.001-1.78, P=0.001) and unsuccessful
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (OR=1.039, 95% CI; 1.005-1.91, P=0.001).
Conclusion: Decreased humidity and increased atmospheric pressure are associated with
an increased number of Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest cases and failure of cardiopulmonary
resuscitation. Informing people with cardiovascular disease to avoid such weather conditions,
as well as preparing the medical care team and designing early warning systems, can reduce
the adverse effects of climate change on the heart.

Health Literacy and Its Related Factors in Non-medical College Students
Subject
The topic of the resource
Health information, Health literacy, Students
Description
An account of the resource
Introduction: Health literacy plays a vital role in health education and health promotion and
has received increasing attention as a means to improve health outcomes and reduce health
inequality. The students’ awareness of health literacy and their weaknesses in this area are
essential for educational planning.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the health literacy of non-medical college students
and it’s affecting factors.
Materials and Methods: This is a correlational study conducted on 250 non-medical
students at the Islamic Azad University of Rasht branch, Rasht City, Iran in the academic
year 2018-2019. They were selected using a random sampling method. The data collection
tool was the Health Literacy For Iranian Adults (HELIA) questionnaire. The collected data
were analyzed using the descriptive and analytical statistics (t-test, the Pearson correlation
test, and the Chi-square test).
Results: The Mean±SD of the HELIA score was 68.44±12.72 (out of 100). About 6.8% of
students had inadequate health literacy, 29.6% problematic health literacy, 54.4% adequate
health literacy, and 9.2% excellent health literacy. Students had the highest score in the
dimensions of understanding Mean±SD (77.11±15.82) and access Mean±SD (72.35±16.73),
while in decision-making and applying health information Mean±SD (55.62±15.01) they had
the lowest score. There was no statistically significant correlation between students’ age and
health literacy scores, but a statistically significant relationship was reported between their
gender and health literacy levels (P=0.049). The Internet (54.8%) and physicians and health
workers (27.2%) were the most important sources of information about health for students.
Conclusion: Many students lacked sufficient health literacy. Since most of them received
information about health issues through the Internet, educational health programs and
contents can be provided to them through the Internet and social networks.

The Relationship Between Communication Skills and Early Maladaptive Schemas in Pediatric Nurses
Subject
The topic of the resource
Communication skills, Maladaptive schema, Nurses
Description
An account of the resource
Introduction: In nursing, the communication between the nurse and the child is the core
of child care. Some barriers can affect the nurse-patient relationship to have proper
communication skills for child care.
Objective: This study aimed to examine the correlation between communication skills and
early maladaptive schemas in nurses working in pediatric wards.
Materials and Methods: This is an analytical and correlational study. The participants
were 178 nurses working in a children’s hospital in Rasht City, Iran in 2016. The data
collection tool was a three-part questionnaire: A demographic form, the interpersonal
communication skills scale (ASMA), and the Young Schema Questionnaire-Short Form
(YSQ-SF). The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Friedman
and Spearman tests.
Results: The majority of nurses were younger than 30 years (80.8%), had a bachelor’s degree
in nursing (89.0%), were married (65.1%), had children (54.8%), were living in urban areas
(95.2%), had employment status (63.3%) and less than 15 years of work experience (46.5%).
The highest mean scores of ASMA (44.12±0.53) and YSQ-SF tools (2.65±1.04) were related to
general communication skills and then disconnection and rejection, respectively. The results
of the Spearman correlation test showed that the overall ASMA score had significant negative
correlations with early maladaptive schemas of impaired autonomy and performance (r=
-0.283), impaired limits (r= -0.421), other-directedness (r= -0.303), and disconnection and
rejection (r= -0.302) (P=0.0001)
Conclusion: Nurses who have a higher level of early maladaptive schemas showed poorer
communication skills. Examining maladaptive schemas in nurses may provide appropriate
strategies to improve their communication skills.

The Mediating Role of Defensive Mechanisms in the Relationship Between Social Phobia and Alexithymia in University Students
Subject
The topic of the resource
Social phobia, Alexithymia, Defense mechanisms
Description
An account of the resource
Introduction: Psychological factors play a key role in people's emotional responses to different
social situations.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the mediating role of defense mechanisms in the
relationship between social phobia and alexithymia, in the students of Farhangian University,
Sari City, Iran.
Materials and Methods: This was an analytical, correlational study that specifically used
structural equation modeling. The statistical population included all students of the
Farhangian University of Sari city, Iran, in the academic year of 2019-2020. A sample of 234
people was recruited with the available sampling method. The social phobia inventory,
defense mechanism questionnaire, and Toronto alexithymia scale were used to measure
the research variables. Finally, the proposed model was evaluated using structural
equation modeling.
Results: The results showed that social phobia variables, undeveloped defensive mechanisms,
and psychotic defensive mechanisms are positively correlated with alexithymia. Also, there
is a significant negative correlation between developed defensive style and alexithymia
(P=0.001). The results indicated significant correlations of social phobia (r=0.28), undeveloped
defensive style (r=0.31), psychotic defensive style (r=0.28), and developed defensive style (r=
-0.30) with alexithymia (P=0.001). Moreover, the research model was approved: defensive
mechanisms mediate the relationship between social phobia and alexithymia in the students.
The defensive mechanisms and social phobia affect 48% of the alexithymia variable.
Conclusion: The students with adaptive defensive mechanisms experience lower social
phobia and alexithymia symptoms. Also, social phobia indirectly affects alexithymia through
the mediating role of defense mechanisms.
