The prolonged pandemic may lead to fatigue and threaten caregivers' mental health. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the level of stress, depression, and anxiety among EMTs in Zanjan during the third year of the COVID-19 outbreak. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 194 EMTs from Zanjan University of Medical Sciences, Iran, between June 2021 and September 2021. participants were selected using random cluster sampling. Data collection involved using a demographic questionnaire and Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale-21 Items (DASS-21). Data were analyzed using SPSS version 24. Results: All participants in the study were male, with a mean age of 33.46 ± 7.25. The mean and standard deviation of depression, anxiety, and stress were 3.12 ± 3.03, 2.24 ± 2.38, and 4.16 ± 3.27, respectively. A significant association was found between the mean score of anxiety and the number of missions and between the mean score of stress and the number of tasks, age, and work experience (P < 0.05). The level of depression, anxiety, and stress among EMTs was within the normal range. The prolonged pandemic may have helped EMTs adapt to this critical situation. However, it is essential to note that this study was conducted on a limited group of EMTs, and socio-cultural contexts influence psychological characteristics. Therefore, further research in this field is necessary in the future.

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT-I) is used as a way to improve sleep quality. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effect of a nurse-led CBT-I on sleep quality among patients undergoing open-heart surgery. Methods: This prospective randomized clinical trial was conducted on 90 patients undergoing open-heart surgery in both intervention and control groups (N = 45). The control group received routine care. The intervention group received 10-12 sessions of nurse-led CBT-I. The demographic questionnaire and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were used to collect data. The data was analyzed in SPSS v. 22 software using X2, independent sample t -test, analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), and paired t-test. Results: The majority of samples were in the age range of 31 -40 years (33.33%) and male (53.33%). The results of the independent t-test showed that the mean total PSQI score in the 2 groups before the intervention was not significantly different (P = 0.245). Also, the results of ANCOVA showed that the mean total PSQI score after the intervention has a significant difference in the 2 groups (P = 0.0001). Conclusions: Nurse-led CBT-I intervention helps to improve the sleep quality of patients after open-heart surgery by reducing their automatic thoughts that affect behavior. Thus, it is recommended that training in nurse-led CBT-I be included in the nurses' academic training program, as well as in continuing education programs for nurses working in heart surgery wards.

Objectives: This study aimed to determine the components of job motivation among operating-room and anesthesia staff. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 152 operating-room and anesthesia staff working in Zanjan hospitals and by the convenience sampling method. Data were collected using demographic and job motivation questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS 16 software and Pearson correlation coefficient and Mann-Whitney test. Results: The mean (SD) job motivation power was 25.2(11.9) which was relatively desirable. In the operating-room staff, the strongest relationship between the dimensions of motivation and total motivational power was related to the autonomy dimension (r=0.7), and the weakest relationship was associated with the identity dimension (r=0.3). In the anesthesia staff, the strongest relationship was associated with the dimensions of autonomy and feedback (r=0.6), and the weakest relationship was associated with the identity dimension (r=0.001) and total motivational power (P<0.001). Also, the mean (SD) skill variety dimension in operating-room staff was 3 (0.6), which was higher than that in the anesthesia staff was equal to 2.7(0.5) (P=0.015); but the mean score in other dimensions and the total score of motivational power between the two groups had no statistically significant difference (P>0.05). Conclusion: Given the low score of the job identity dimension, it is better for policy-makers and managers of the health system to take measures to strengthen this dimension of job motivation as one of the priorities of the healthcare system.

This study aimed at investigating the effect of ultrasoundguided transversus abdominis plane block on postoperative pain control in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Materials and methods: This double-blind randomized clinical trial was performed in 60 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. General anesthesia was induced in all patients. At the end of the operation, a subcostal transverse abdominis plane (SCTAP) block was performed in the intervention group, while the control group received no intervention. In all samples, pain intensity based on Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the dose of opioid and anti-emetics drugs were assessed at recovery, 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours after the surgery. Data analysis was performed in SPSS 24 applying independent t-test and chi-square. Results: The number of patients with VAS<4 was signific...

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine and compare the level of job satisfaction among anesthesia and operating room staff. Methods: This descriptive-comparative study was carried out on 152 anesthesia (71 individuals) and operating room staff (81 individuals) in Zanjan hospitals. Sampling was accomplished by census method. Job satisfaction was assessed using the JSS (Job Satisfaction Survey) in nine areas (Pay, Promotions, Supervision, Coworkers, Fringe Benefits, Contingent Rewards, Nature of Work, Operational Procedures and Communications). Data analysis was performed using SPSS 16 software. Descriptive and analytical statistics, including Fisherchr('39')s exact test and Mann-Whitney test, were analyzed as well. Results: Most of the participants were female (69.1%), under 30 years old (48.7%),...

This study aimed to determine the fear of falling among elderly with heart failure and its related factors. This descriptive correlational study was performed on 445 elderly patients with heart failure. Participants were randomly selected. Demographic information and Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I) questionnaires were used to collect data. Data were analyzed using STATA 14. The mean fear of falling among participants was 36.7 (ST=0.27 and CI: 95%). The level of fear of falling was moderate in 61% of participants. Fear of falling had no statistically significant correlation with gender, education, smoking, and marriage (P>0.05) but had a statistically significant correlation with age, heart failure class, residence, and history of falls (p <0.05). It is recommended to develop a comprehensive care program to prevent and re...

Aim: This study aimed to determine the impact of a training program based on learning needs on self-care behaviors among patients with heart failure Method: This clinical trial was performed on 73 patients suffering from heart failure in Zanjan teaching hospitals in 2015. The subjects were randomly divided into three groups (based on having LNs assessment and family involvement). The intervention group received education based on LNs and family involvement. Control group 1 (without LNs assessment with family involvement), and control group 2 (without LNs assessment, and family involvement). The groups received three sessions of face-to-face training (lasting 15-20 minutes) on medical symptoms, necessary measures for the disease, diet, and medication regimen. Self-care behaviors before and 90 days after the intervention were evaluated using a self-car...
