In fact, a more conversant and deeper perception of god could enhance one's quality of daily interactions and behavior. The aim of this study was to determine the dimensions of perception of God on hemodialysis patients of Qazvin city. Methods: The current study employed an analytic-descriptive method on 100 hemodialysis patients visiting Avicenna Healthcare Training Center. Samples were selected randomly. For gathering information about perception of god, Lawrence's questionnaire of perception of god was employed. Analyzing the data was conducted via IBM SPSS Statistics v. 22 and its descriptive tools. Results: Findings from the current study indicated that among subscales of perception of god, "providence" with a mean and standard deviation of 33.6 ± 3.2 was at the highest level and "influence" with a mean and standard deviation of 31.2 ± 34 was at the lowest level. Moreover, the ratings of perception of god in female samples, with a mean and standard deviation of 195.6 ± 10.3, was higher than male counterparts. Conclusions: According to the findings derived from this study and sexual differences, with holding training courses on topics like familiarization with concept of perception of god and its subconscious effects on daily life interactions, self-care capacity, and quality of life in hemodialysis patients could be improved.

METHODS In this triple-blind clinical trial, 112 patients, with an age range of 35 to 70 years, were randomized to 2 groups receiving 10 g (n = 45) and 30 g (n = 45) of flaxseed supplementation and 1 group receiving placebo (n = 45) for 12 weeks by stratified block randomization. They were evaluated in terms of systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), BMI, and total serum cholesterol. Physical activity was measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) and food intake was assessed using the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ). The data were analyzed with SPSS, version 22, using the chi-square, Kruskal-Wallis, repeated measures analysis, ANOVA, and ANCOVA tests. RE...

The aim of the current study was to determine patients' satisfaction with humane care in CCUs. Materials and Methods: In the current descriptive–analytical study, data were collected from 225 patients admitted to the CCUs of seven teaching hospitals in Lorestan Province, Iran, in 2017. The Persian version of the Revised Humane Caring Scale (P-RHCS) was used in this study. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics (independent t-test and one-way ANOVA). Results: The mean (SD) overall score of the P-RHCS was 4.61 (0.53), which indicated that patients were highly satisfied with humane care. The patients were most satisfied with “professional performance” [mean (SD) 4.72 (0.60)] and “interdisciplinary collaboration” [mean (SD) 4.72 (0.65)], and the least satisfied with ...

Objective: This study aimed to explore cardiac patients’ perception of a good nursing care. Methods: In this cross-sectional study conducted from February to June 2017, 200 patients in 10 coronary care units of public hospitals of Lorestan province, Iran were selected by stratified random sampling. The revised form of Good Nursing Care Scale was used to measure the perceived quality of nursing care experienced by the patients. This scale contained 37 items and seven subscales responded through a five-option Likert scale. The data were entered into the SPSS software, version 21 and were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, and one-way analysis of variance. Results: The mean reported perception level was 2.81, which was relatively high. The highest level of quality was related to the nursing staff characteristics (M ± SD: 3.28 ± 0.90), while the lowest was related to the patients’ coping strategies (M ± SD: 2.37 ± 1.02). The results revealed a statistically significant difference in the patients’ perceptions of nursing care quality based on the place of hospitalization, having or not having the history of hospital stay, and information given about care and treatment. Conclusion: From the perspective of the patients, the quality of nursing care was relatively high. Considering the findings of “the coping strategies” subscale and its importance in adapting patients to new conditions, it should be taken into account by the healthcare team. Additionally, the patients’ active participation in decision-making and effective interactions have to be considered in order to improve their coping with the disease.

Several methods have been proposed to improve hemodialysis adequacy. Objectives: In this study, the effects of the synchronic use of the stepwise profile dialysis fluid flow rate with increased blood flow rate (BFR) were studied on hemodialysis adequacy. Patients and Methods: This is a cross-over clinical trial study conducted on 34 hemodialysis patients selected from a hemodialysis center of Qazvin University of Medical Sciences, Qazvin, Iran. The patients were randomly allocated into two groups (n= 17 patients in each group) in two sequences. In the first sequence, the subjects received four routine hemodialysis sessions in group one and four hemodialysis sessions with the stepwise profile of the fluid flow rate with increased BFR in group two. In the second sequence, the treatment methods were ...

A methodological study was carried out to assess content, face and construct validity and reliability.ResultsThe results revealed good content validity. After the elimination of four items in the confirmatory factor analysis, a 42-item model with acceptable fit indices was confirmed. The scale had a high internal consistency. The reliability of each item was satisfactory using the intra-class correlation. Only item 33 was considered unstable and was ultimately eliminated.ConclusionsThe Persian version of the 41-item RHCS is an acceptable assessment scale for measuring patient satisfaction with humane caring in critical care units.

The present study aimed to explore the outcomes of caring for patients in a vegetative state for families and caregivers at home. In this qualitative study, 16 vegetative patients&amp;amp;amp;#39; caregivers were selected through purposive sampling. Unstructured interviews and observations were used for data gathering. Data collection was continued until saturation of data and emergence of the main themes. Data analysis was performed by the content analysis method. The analysis of the gathered data led to three themes: &amp;amp;amp;quot;lost main caregiver&amp;amp;amp;quot;, &amp;amp;amp;quot;affected caring partner&amp;amp;amp;quot; and &amp;amp;amp;quot;affected family&amp;amp;amp;quot;. Each theme had some subthemes and subcategories. The three emerged themes in this study showed that all the family members of vegetative patients, depending on their responsibilities, were affected by physical, mental, social and economic issues.
