necessary to ensure the continuation of this behavior. Given
the great benefts of breastfeeding for children and mothers
and the eﬀective role of training in this process, studies have
emphasized the importance of training, support, and follow-up.
Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the impact of
successful breastfeeding training on the knowledge and planning
of pregnant women regarding this behavior in 2018.
Methods: This quasi-experimental study with a pre-/post-test
design was carried out on 30 pregnant women with a gestational
age of 32 weeks. At frst, two comprehensive health centers
were selected by cluster sampling. The dependent variable was
successful breastfeeding, while the independent variables were
awareness and planning for breastfeeding. The educational
content was presented in three 45-minute sessions. Due to the
lack of a standard questionnaire, a researcher-made questionnaire
was prepared using the relevant references. After all, the data
were entered into the SPSS 22 software and were analyzed using
paired t-test and ANOVA.
Results: The mean score of the mothers’ awareness of successful
breastfeeding was increased from 49.97±3. 53 to 63.27±3.72 and
that of their planning for successful breastfeeding was increased
from 42.78±2.99 to 53.77±3.74; these diﬀerences were statistically
signifcant (P<0.001). The results revealed no signifcant
relationships between the mothers’ demographic characteristics
and the questionnaire scores.
Conclusion: Successful breastfeeding training can improve
awareness and planning for breastfeeding, which can lead to
the continuation and promotion of this behavior.

However, there is a lack of well-designed tools that are specifically developed for this purpose. Hence, this study aimed to develop and determine the validity and reliability of a checklist to measure the circulating and scrub skills of OR novices. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional methodological study was conducted among 124 OR technology students who were selected during three consecutive academic years (2019-2020 to 2021-2022). The developed checklist was evaluated with face validity, content validity (quantitative and qualitative), construct validity (known-groups validity), criterion-related validity (concurrent and predictive validities), internal consistency (Kuder-Richardson 20, KR-20), and inter-rater reliability (intra-class correlation coefficient, ICC). Known-groups validity was evaluated by comparing the difference between the checklist scores of first-semester and third-semester students using independent samples t-test. Additionally, concurrent and predictive validities were evaluated by ICC through measuring the correlation between the total score of checklist and grades of a multiple-choice test and two clinical apprenticeship courses, respectively. Data were analyzed in the Statistical Package for Social Sciences software. Results: After reconciling the preliminary checklist in terms of face and content validities, a checklist with 17 sub-scales and 340 items called "Circulating and Scrub Skills of Operating Room Novices (CSSORN)" was developed. Regarding the known-groups validity, the third-semester students had higher scores compared to the first-semester students (p < 0.001 in most sub-scales). Besides, the total score of checklist showed a significant correlation with the criteria of concurrent and predictive validities (ICC = 0.64, ICC = 0.72; P < 0.001). The KR-20 for the entire checklist was 0.90 (range: 0.60-0.93). The ICC for inter-rater reliability was also 0.96 for the entire checklist (range: 0.76-0.99, P < 0.001 in all sub-scales). Conclusion: The CSSORN had appropriate validity and reliability to be used for measuring the circulating and scrub skills of OR novices. To shed light on the findings, further testing of this checklist on larger populations and in different contexts is suggested.

In this study, all documents in English on pathogenic coronaviruses were examined from the beginning of 2002 to March 27, 2020. Articles were searched through reliable databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Google scholar, Science Direct, Cochrane library, and BioRxiv using the keywords "COVID-19", "Coronavirus 2019", "SARS-CoV," and" MERS-CoV." In addition, reliable health websites, such as WHO and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), were used to obtain new figures and information on these diseases. A total of 1563 articles and documents were extracted, and after reviewing the full texts of these articles, 100 papers and documents with necessary eligibility were finally selected in the present review study. The outbreak of pathogenic viruses, especially the latest one, i.e., COVID-19, as a severe threat can affect the entire global community, in particular medical staff who are at the forefront of fighting against the virus. It can generally be concluded that coronaviruses have high pathogenesis, with very rapid person-to-person transmission. Since human knowledge is not yet complete about the new type of this virus, i.e., COVID-19, there are no definitive treatments for the virus. Thus, the best and only way to prevent affection from this virus is currently fully implementing health protocols and preventing self-infection and the virus outbreak.

First, the questionnaire was translated verbatim from English to Persian. Then, we evaluated the face, content, structural validity, and reliability of the questionnaire. Results: The results showed that this questionnaire's face, content, structure validity, and reliability were adequate. Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the entire questionnaire was 0.668. The interclass correlation coefficient was 0.688, which confirmed divergent validity. Conclusions: Mothers' Perception of Postpartum Health Care questionnaire in comprehensive health centers is valid and reliable for measuring maternal perception of these vital services.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of education based on dominant learning styles on the academic achievement of nursing students. The population of this quasi-experimental research consisted of 40 third-semester nursing students. The data were collected by using Kolb's Learning Style questionnaire. To determine the dominant learning style of the students, the researchers had them take a pre-test; then, based on the dominant learning style, the students were taught through group discussion. A formative exam and a summative exam were taken. The most and least preferred learning styles of the participants were the divergent style and the assimilative style respectively. Education based on learning styles, particularly for college students, can not only enhance students' academic achievement and teachers' professional satisfaction, but can help with training professional nurses.

This paper is a report of a study to determine the nursing students' perceptions of the importance of caring behaviours. Background. Caring has been considered as the essence of nursing. It is believed that caring enhances patients' health and well-being and facilitates health promotion. Nursing education has an important role in educating the nurses with adequate caring abilities. Method. Ninety nursing students (response rate 75%) responded to a questionnaire consisting of 55 caring behaviours adapted from items on Caring Assessment Questionnaire (Care-Q). Behaviours were ranked on a 5-point Likert-type scale. The caring behaviours were categorized in seven subscales: 'accessibles', 'monitors and follows through', 'explains and facilitates', 'comforts', 'anticipates', 'trusting relationship' and 'spiritual care'. Data were collected in Iran in 2003. Findings. The students perceived 'monitors and follows through' (mean = 4AE33, SD = 0AE60) as the most and 'trusting relationship' (mean = 3AE70, SD = 0AE62) as the least important subscales. 'To give patient's treatments and medications on time' and 'to do voluntarily little things…' were the most and least important caring behaviours, respectively. 'Explains and facilitates' statistically and significantly correlated with age (r = 0AE31, P = 0AE003) and programme year (r = 0AE28, P = 0AE025). Gender had no statistically significant influence on students' perceptions of caring behaviours. Conclusion. Further research is needed, using longitudinal designs, to explore nursing students' perceptions of caring behaviours in different cultures, as well as evaluation studies of innovations in curriculum and teaching methods to improve learning in relation to cultural competence and caring concepts.
