Predicting Tobacco Use Based on the Theory of Planned Behavior in Adolescent Girls
Subject
The topic of the resource
Adolescent, Female students, Smoking, Tobacco
Description
An account of the resource
Introduction: Tobacco use poses a serious threat to global health. The tobacco epidemic is
spreading in low- and middle-income countries, where the tobacco industries mainly target
young people and women.
Objective: This study aims to determine the predictors of tobacco use based on the Theory
of Planned Behavior (TPB) in female high school students.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 340 female high
school students aged 14-18 in Rasht City, Iran, who were selected using a multi-stage
sampling method. The data collection tool was the TPB questionnaire for tobacco use in
Persian. The obtained data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test, Kolmogorov-
Smirnov test, Spearman correlation test and logistic regression analysis.
Results: The TPB constructs of attitude (OR=0.91, 95%CI: 0.85-0.97, P=0.007) and behavioral
intention (OR=0.75, 95%CI; 0.64-0.88, P=0.001) could predict cigarette smoking. Also,
constructs of perceived behavioral control (OR=0.92, 95%CI; 0.87-0.97, P=0.007), subjective
norms (OR=0.83, 95%CI; 0.70-0.97, P=0.02), and behavioral intention (OR=0.88, 95% CI; 0.78
-0.99, P=0.03) could predict hookah smoking in girls students.
Conclusion: Considering the predictive power of the TPB constructs in tobacco use by adolescent
girls, it is possible to plan to reduce its rate in this group by a focus on the TPB constructs.

Damask Rose Aromatherapy and the Anxiety of Endoscopic Candidate Patients: A Clinical Trial
Subject
The topic of the resource
Anxiety, Aromatherapy, Endoscopy, Rosa
Description
An account of the resource
Introduction: Anxiety is one of the common problems among patients before undergoing
invasive diagnostic techniques. One of these diagnostic techniques is gastrointestinal
endoscopy. Aromatherapy is one of the complementary therapies to reduce anxiety.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of aromatherapy with Damask rose on
the anxiety of the patients before undergoing endoscopy.
Materials and Methods: This study is a clinical trial performed on patients referred to the
Endoscopy Department of one of the educational and therapeutic centers in Rasht City,
Iran, in 2019. The study sample was 70 patients divided into the intervention and control
groups. After giving the informed consent form, the samples completed the demographic
information questionnaire and Spielberger anxiety questionnaire. The intervention group
received aromatherapy with 10% Damask rose essential oil, and the control group received
aromatherapy with a placebo for 30 minutes. The anxiety questionnaire was completed
again 30 minutes after aromatherapy. The data were analyzed using descriptive and
inferential statistics (the paired t-test, Chi-square, independent t-test, and covariance test).
Results: Results showed that the Mean±SD age of participants was 41.05±13.15 years in
the intervention (ranged 22-65 years) and 45.82±16.81 years in the control groups. Most
participants were female (57.1%). After the intervention, the mean score of anxiety in the
aromatherapy group (39.88±11.51) was lower than that in the control group with placebo
(49.94±12.30), which was statistically significant (P=0.001).
Conclusion: This study showed that aromatherapy with Damask rose essential oil was
effective on pre-endoscopic anxiety of the patients. Since complementary medicine is
increasingly practiced in nursing care, Damask rose aromatherapy, because of its low cost,
safety and simplicity, can be used as a complementary measure to reduce anxiety in patients
before endoscopy. However, more studies with intervention, control, and routine groups are
needed to confirm the effectiveness of aromatherapy in endoscopy.

Introduction: Life satisfaction reflects an individual’s overall feelings about life, influenced by
various factors.
Objective: This study aimed to identify and introduce the indices related to the living
environment that affect life satisfaction.
Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on 1000 residents of 55 neighborhoods
of Rasht City (north of Iran) by an analytical cross-sectional method. The participants
were chosen with a multistage cluster sampling method. The study data were collected
using questionnaires, including the residents’ characteristics, indicators of the living
environment, and the satisfaction with life scale. The obtained data were analyzed
using descriptive statistics, and inferential statistics, including the Pearson correlation
coefficient, independent t test, analysis of variance, and linear regression.
Results: Based on the present study results, the Mean±SD age of the subjects in the study
was 43.73±15.55 years. The analysis showed that their level of life satisfaction was average
Mean±SD: 19.41±7.63, range: 5-35). The regression analysis identified dissatisfaction of
facilities (B=-0.366; 95%CI: -0.434, -0.298; P=0.001), satisfaction with living in the local area
(B=0.248; Cl: 0.123, 0.373; P=0.001), duration of residence (B: -0.364; 95%CI: -0.625, -0.102;
P=0.006) and gender (women compared to men) (B: 0.896; Cl: 0.011, 1.781; P=0.047) as the
predictors of life satisfaction.
Conclusion: According to the results, the life satisfaction of our study participants was at a
moderate level and was affected by living environment indicators, especially facilities.

The Effect of Zinc Oxide Scallop-shell Powder and Complications After Coronary Angiography
Subject
The topic of the resource
Zinc oxide scallop-shell, Coronary angiography, Hemostasis, Hemorrhage and hematoma, Low back pain
Description
An account of the resource
Introduction: Coronary angiography is often associated with complications such as
hemorrhage and hematoma that should be considered and be minimized.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of Zinc oxide scallop-shell powder as
a topical hemostatic agent (composed mainly of calcium) on complications after coronary
angiography. These complications include hemostasis time, low back pain, hemorrhage,
hematoma, the necessity of sandbags, and patient ambulation.
Materials and Methods: The current research was a blind, parallel, randomized clinical
trial done on 150 patients under coronary angiography. They were randomly divided into
three equal groups of A (control), B (case 1), and C (case 2). In group A, hemostasis was
done with manual compression, use of ChitoHem powder, putting sandbag for 4-6 h in
a supine position, and getting out of bed after 24 h. In group B, instead of ChitoHem
powder, we used Zinc oxide scallop-shell powder. In group C, hemostasis was done with
manual compression, Zinc oxide scallop-shell powder, putting sandbag for 1 h in a supine
position, and getting out of bed after 2 h. The duration of hemostasis, bleeding, and
hematoma after hemostasis and the severity of low back pain were investigated at 8 point
intervals during 24 h. Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics indicators and
Kolmogorov-Smirnov, ANOVA, Chi Square, Fisher exact test and Kruskal-Wallis tests.
Results: The Mean±SD ages of groups of A, B, and C were 60.08±11.32, 60.22±10.30, and
61.69±10.61, respectively, which was not statistically different. Furthermore, there was no
significant difference between these three groups regarding their demographic information.
There were statistically significant differences between groups about the amount of low back
pain at the second, third, and fourth h after angiography (P=0.001). There was a significant
difference in the amount of bleeding between the three groups (P=0.017). The difference in
time of hemostasis in the three groups was not statistically significant.
Conclusion: The Zinc oxide scallop-shell powder reduces catheter site bleeding after coronary
angiography and bed rest time and ultimately the severity of low back pain. Performing a
similar study is recommended.

Midwifery Trained Registered Nurses’ Perceptions of Their Role in the Labor Unit
Subject
The topic of the resource
Midwifery, Work performance, Obstetrics, Parturition
Description
An account of the resource
Introduction: A Midwifery Trained Registered Nurse (MTRN) is a member of the multi-
professional maternity health care team in Sri Lanka. Her contribution to the maternity care
team is poorly understood, often undermined, and undefined. In the context of low- and
middle-income settings where traditional midwives play a crucial role in domiciliary care, the
MTRNs role as a member of the multi-professional hospital-based maternity care team has
not been well-described.
Objective: The study aimed to describe MTRNs’ perceptions of their role in the Labor Unit
within the multi-professional maternity health care team at five tertiary care hospitals in the
Capitol Province of Sri Lanka.
Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 186
MTRNs working in labor rooms in the study setting. All MTRNs in the selected hospitals were
invited and included in the sample. A postal survey was carried out using a pre-evaluated,
pretested self-administered questionnaire, and descriptive statistics were derived.
Results: All respondents were females, aged 27 to 60 years (Mean±SD: 40±8.3 years). The
majority (66%) was less than 45 years old. Almost all (>96%) MTRNs perceived 12 tasks of the
listed tasks as their primary responsibility. Regarding other tasks, they perceived a high degree
of overlap between their role and those of the doctors and midwives. Although almost all
MTRNs rated the level of interprofessional collaboration from Registered Nurses (RNs) and
doctors as average to good, nearly half (49%) of them rated support from midwives ranging
from very poor to average.
Conclusion: A high degree of perceived overlap between MTRNs’ tasks with those of the other
members of the maternity care team can cause role confusion, conflicts, and poor patient
care. MTRNs’ role in the Labor Unit within the multi-professional maternity health care team
was controversial. Clarifying the MTRNs scope of practice will help improve interprofessional
understanding of roles and responsibilities and collaboration.

Subject
The topic of the resource
Body image, Quality of life, Postpartum
Description
An account of the resource
Introduction: During pregnancy and postpartum, women bet more concerned and dissatisfied
with their bodies. Primiparous women face more physical and mental health problems in the
postpartum period.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of a midwife-based counseling program
on the quality of life in women with body image concerns during postpartum.
Materials and Methods: This randomized controlled trial was conducted on 64 primiparous
women with body image concerns who had been referred to the health centers in Alborz
Province, Iran, in January 2019. The convenience sampling method was used for recruiting
the study participants. Then, the samples were assigned to the intervention and control
groups by random number table allocation. Next, the intervention group received a three-
session counseling program. The data gathering questionnaire in this study included a
Multi-Dimensional Body Self-Relation Questionnaire (MBSRQ) and a 36-item short-form
quality of life questionnaire. Questionnaires were completed before, immediately after,
and one month after the intervention. The obtained data were analyzed using descriptive
statistics, the Chi-square test, Fisher exact test, and repeated measures test.
Results: The Mean±SD age of the study participants was 26.4±5.4 years. Also, 94%of the
samples had wanted pregnancy, 54% had a vaginal delivery, and 59.4% were overweight. There
was no statistically significant difference between the control and intervention groups before
the intervention regarding their demographic characteristics. The results of the Analysis of
Variance (ANOVA) with repeated measures test indicated that the length of time affected the
total scores of multi-dimensional body self-relation (P=0.001). Also, the repeated measures
ANOVA results showed that time significantly impacted the quality of life score (P=0.001).
Conclusion: The study results showed that a midwife-led counseling program could affect the
score of quality of life in women with body image concerns in postpartum.

The Effectiveness of Husbands’ Awareness of Menopausal Complications on Physical Psychological Experiences of Postmenopausal Women
Subject
The topic of the resource
Awareness, Spouse, Menopause, Women’s experiences
Description
An account of the resource
Introduction: Women are subject to extensive changes during menopause. Life crises such as
menopause can affect women’s health and is a turning point in their lives. The husbands are
the most important and closest people who can support their wives in this evolutionary crisis
with their correct understanding of the situation.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of husbands’ awareness of the
physical and psychological experiences of postmenopausal women.
Materials and Methods: This randomized clinical trial study was performed on 150 married
postmenopausal women in Kashmar City, Iran, in 2019. The husbands of the intervention
group received three sessions (60 minutes) of the menopause training program with one-
week intervals. The spouses of both groups received routine care at the health center.
The questionnaire of psychological and physical experiences of postmenopausal women
and measuring men’s awareness of menopause in both groups was completed before the
intervention and one month after the intervention. The collected data were analyzed using
descriptive statistics and inferential statistics of the Chi-square, paired t-test, independent
t-test, and analysis of covariance.
Results: The Mean±SD age of women in the intervention group was 51.13±2.68 years, and
their Mean±SD menopausal age was 49.09±2.60 years. The Mean±SD score of menopausal
experiences before the intervention was 144.99±38.09 in the intervention group and
143.47±28.48 in the control group and 105.53(35.41) in the intervention group, and 118.82
(82.21) in the control group. The statistical test showed that the mean score of menopausal
experiences and the range of adaptation after the intervention and also between the two
groups have statistically significant differences with each other (P=0.001).
Conclusion: Menopause has adverse physical and psychological symptoms. An intervention
program to increase the awareness of men during menopause reduces negative menopausal
experiences in women.

Association Between Perceived Social Support and Mental Health Status Among Older Adults
Subject
The topic of the resource
Aging, Mental health, Social support
Description
An account of the resource
Introduction: The elderly need social support to reduce their physical and mental disabilities.
Perceived social support is one of the effective factors in the lifestyle of older adults.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the association between perceived social support
and mental health status among older adults.
Materials and Methods: This research is a cross-sectional analytical study. The study
data were collected using a Perceived Social Support (PSS) scale and general health
questionnaire-12 (GHQ-12). A total of 302 eligible older adults were selected through a
random sampling method from primary health centers in the north, south, east, west, and
center of Tehran. The inclusion criteria were those community-dwelling older adults aged
≥60 years and with normal cognitive abilities. The collected data were analyzed using t
test, ANOVA, the Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regressions.
Results: The Mean±SD age of older adults was 70.01±6.29 years. Their Mean±SD scores of
the PSS and GHQ-12 were 130.95±16.05 and 7.29±5.55, respectively. The results showed no
significant relationship between demographic variables and PSS. There was a significant inverse
correlation between the PSS score and the GHQ-12 score (P= 0.01, r= -0.878). The PSS explained
0.66 of the total variances of “positively phrased items” of GHQ-12 (adjusted R2
= 0.66) and 0.76
of the total variances of “negatively phrased items” of GHQ-12 (adjusted R2
= 0.76).
Conclusion: Our findings showed that the PSS and mental health are at a desirable level in this
study, and the PSS is not affected by demographic variables. The PSS is a promoting factor for
mental health status among older adults.
