Abstract

Abstract Background & Objectives: Numbers of older people rapidly increase. Therefore it is important to the health of the elderly. Social capital by providing emotional and mental supports plays an effective role in promoting mental health in older people. So this study examines the factors affecting mental health and its relationship with social capital in the older people of Tehran 9 district. Materials and Methods: This study is a cross-sectional study that was conducted in Tehran 9 district on the older people over 60 years in 2011. 320 participants in this study were selected by multistage random sampling. To assess mental, health General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28) and to assess social capital, Urban HEART Questionnaire were used. To determine components of social capital, used from exploratory factor analysis. Results: factor analysis determined three factors include individual trust, social cohesion–support and social cohesion-support. That these three components, explained 68.1 percent of the total variance of social capital. There was relationship between mental health and individual trust and social cohesion and support. But there was not relationship between mental health and social trust and collective relations. Conclusion: Whatever the social capital is more, mental health is also better. On the other hand individuals with better mental health, qualified to social responsibility and role in society. This shows that there is a mutual relationship between mental health and social capital. So the promotion each of them can effect on other.

Abstract

Background & objectives: The diagnosis of UTI is based on urine culture .culture results correlates perfectly to the mode of collecting samples. In this study, we tried to determine that how much delay in lab analysis can affect the test results. Material & Methods:This was a cross-sectional study of 240 urine samples, collected from infants and children with urinary bags (120 cases) and midstream method (120).the samples were placed in the refrigerator or at room temperature. Then the specimens were examined for urine culture at 0,2,4 hours post sample collection. Spss16 was used for data analysis and compiled descriptive results are expressed as percentage and the Cochran test was used for comparisons. Results:Results of urine cultures collected with urinary bags showed statistically significant difference between samples which were kept in room temperature for 2 hours (p<0.01) but this was not true for specimens kept in the refrigerator or collected using midstream method. In both bag and midstream samples the results of urine cultures were statistically significant after 4 hours remaining in environment temperature (p<0.01) Conclusion:Results of this study shows that urine cultures are more likely to be falsely positive with time passing from the sample collection but if the specimen is kept in the refrigerator the likelihood of false positive cultures will be decreased.

Abstract
Introduction: The mother's vital signs change in the face of stressful phenomena Acupressure improves vital function by secreting enkephalins. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of acupressure, LV3 point on maternal physiological parameters and non-stress testing of the fetus.
Methods: A clinical trial study was performed on 84 primiparous mothers. The study tool was a questionnaire in three sections: demographics, maternal vital signs and interpretation of non-stress fetal test. After measuring the mother's vital signs, non-stress testing of the fetus was done. After 5 minutes, in the intervention group, the researcher applied a pressure of 3 kg to the LV3 point for 1 minute, rested for 30 seconds and performed 2.5 minutes for each leg. In the control group, the researcher touched a point near LV3 (the tip of the big toe). Five minutes after the non-stress test, the vital signs of the mothers were re-measured and the NST print was interpreted by a specialist and an uninformed person. The collected information was entered into SPSS software, analyzed.
Results: In the intervention group, the difference between the mean variables of fetal heart rate and fetal movements was statistically significant, in the second 10 minutes after the intervention was more than the first 10 minutes (p <0.05). The difference between the means in increasing the basal rate of fetal heart rate and the number of fetal movements in the first and second stages in the intervention group was more than the control group and was statistically significant (p <0.05). But the pressure on LV3 point on pulse and blood pressure of pregnant mothers in the study group was not statistically significant.
Conclusions: Acupressure can be used to reduce the false non-reactive test results of non-stress fetal test

Abstract
Introduction: Evaluation of the alignment of the trunk and lower limbs in people with forward head posture (FHP)assumes critical importance due to biomechanical connection. The present study aimed to assess the reliability of trunk, pelvis, and lower limb posture assessment in people with FHP by the photogrammetric method.
Method: This observational study was conducted on 60 male and female participants, 32 with FHP and 28 without FHP, from students of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences. The mean age of participants was 23.30±2.66 years. A craniovertebral angle of 48 degrees or less is known as FHP. To evaluate intratester reliability, postural evaluation was repeated one week apart by the first examiner and one hour apart by the second examiner to assess intertester reliability. The measured angles included vertical and lateral alignment of the body, vertical alignment of the trunk and lower limbs, the horizontal alignment of the pelvis, as well as the angle of the hip and ankle joints.
Results: The results of the intraclass correlation coefficient based on Munro's scale demonstrated that in the FHP group, the vertical straight angle of the body had the lowest (0.73), and the hip joint angle had the highest intertester reliability coefficient (0.96). Considering intertester reliability in the FHP group, the lower limb alignment was the lowest (0.88), and the hip joint angle had the highest reliability coefficient (0.97).
Conclusion: The evaluation of trunk and lower limb posture in people with FHP by photogrammetry can be used as a quantitative method with high reliability

Abstract
Introduction: There are numerous debates surrounding euthanasia in terms of ethics, religion, and law, with both opponents and proponents viewing it from their perspectives and presenting their specific reasons. This issue has sparked various controversies in the realms of ethics, religion, and medicine and is considered one of the most contentious ethical topics in medicine. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the attitudes toward euthanasia among nurses working in the Intensive Care Units of educational and therapeutic hospitals affiliated with North Khorasan University of Medical Sciences, Iran.
Method: The current descriptive and cross-sectional study was performed on 164 nurses working in special departments of Bent Al-Hoda, Imam Ali, and Imam Hassan hospitals in Iran. The euthanasia attitude scale was used in this study. Statistical analysis was performed in SPSS software (version 23) with a significance level of < 0.05.
Results: Results of the present study showed that 50.6% and 49.4% of nurses had negative and positive attitudes towards euthanasia, respectively. Average scores of moral consideration, practical consideration, respect for life, and naturalistic beliefs were 34.19, 7.88, 11.66, and 5.54, respectively. Moreover, there was no statistically significant relationship between the type of attitude towards euthanasia and demographic variables.
Conclusion: Given the sanctity of compassionate death in terms of jurisprudence and shariah, the phenomenon of euthanasia should be addressed more carefully in the training course for nurses.

Abstract
Introduction: Transferring a patient from one care team to another is called handoff, which has a crucial role in care quality and patient safety. This study aimed to audit compliance with handoff standards of trauma patients admitted to the hospital by emergency medical service personnel.
Method: This descriptive cross-sectional study, which focused on trauma patients, was carried out in a northeastern city during the first half of 2023. The sampling process was observational and event-based. The instrument of research was a researcher-designed checklist covering various dimensions of patient handoff standards. The validity was assessed by using qualitative face and content validity methods, while reliability was evaluated through inter-rater agreement. The data were analyzed through SPSS software version 24.
Results: A total of 361 trauma patients were analyzed. The findings showed that the average score achieved by emergency medical personnel was 13.48, which was lower than the maximum achievable score of the tool. Among the nine key dimensions, the highest average score belonged to the explanation of the process (4.73), while the lowest was related to the mechanism of injury (0.27).
Conclusion: The findings revealed that the score for compliance with handoff standards of patients was significantly lower than the average achievable score in most areas. Therefore, developing standard protocols and auditing compliance with handoff standards and their effect on the quality of patient care can be a crucial step toward enhancing patient safety.
