This study is based on a comparison of lecturing, multi-media software packages and web-based education for Nursing Care of Chemical Agents in one of the military hospitals. Methods: in a semi-experimental study, 99 nurses were selected by a target-based approach from one of the Tehran military hospitals in the year 2012. Nurses then have been put into three random groups. Three groups were evaluated using a pre-test with standardized questions then groups were trained necessarily with the aforementioned methods and they did the post-test as the same questions. After data collecting, the results have been analyzed using Spss 16 and statistical and analytical tests. Results: There wasn't significant difference regarding mean scores among all groups in the pre-test (p>o.o5). After three methods of training, improvement could be noticeable in all three groups (p Conclusion: according to the findings, multi-media software packages can be efficiency for learning because of low price and the accessibility.

This study evaluated the validity and reliability of the Persian version of NBQ. Methods: This methodological study investigated 170 patients with chronic neck pain (NP). The psychometric properties of NBQ were evaluated in two stages. First, the standard scale was translated based on Guillemin’s guidelines for cross-cultural adaption and face validity tested in a pilot group (N=25). Second, it was conducted on a sample of 170 diverse chronic pain patients. Construct validity was determined with convergent validity by short-form McGill pain questionnaire. Then, the reliability was confirmed using Cronbach’s alpha and the intraclass correlation coefficient. Results: The instrument demonstrated a good face validity and the participants made minor changes. A slight change was applied on content validity. In construct validity, Pearson’s correlation coefficient was 0.85, which was statistic...

Objective: This study sought to assess the health-related QoL (HRQoL) of chemical victims by means of a tool specifically designed for this purpose. The correlation of their QoL with several demographic factors was evaluated as well. Patients and Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, 120 chemical warfare victims were selected from subjects presenting to selected medical centers in Tehran in 2012 using convenience sampling. Two questionnaires of demographic information and HRQoL of chemical warfare victims (specific tool) were used for data collection. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 20 software (IBM, Armonk, NY, USA). Results: The mean and standard deviation (mean ± SD) of scores obtained by chemical warfare victims in physical, psychosocial and spiritual domains was 39.6 ± 16.5, 42.1 ± 15.2 and 82.4 ± 15.4, respectively. Different age groups showed a significant difference in the psychosocial domain score (P < 0.01). Also, the physical and spiritual domain scores had significant differences with respect to the level of education (P < 0.001). The occupational status showed significant differences in the psychosocial and spiritual domains scores of QoL (P < 0.001). The physical and psychosocial domain scores also accounted for a significant difference with respect to the duration and severity of pulmonary symptoms (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Considering the importance and high value of spirituality in chemical warfare victims, it can be used as strategically for these patients to help them cope with their injury and improve their physical and psychosocial health and QoL.

The aim of the present study was to describe and explore the experiences of Iranian nurses about their coping strategies. In this study we used a qualitative research approach to explore how Iranian nurses perceive and resolve their burnout at work. Twelve nurses were selected by purposive sampling and in-depth semi structured interviews were conducted. All interviews were tape recorded, transcribed verbatim and then analyzed by means of the conventional qualitative content analysis method. The 5 main themes that evolved from content analysis included "religious responsibility", "approximation to God", "spiritual reward", "Holiness of the job" and "spiritual journey" emerged as the most importa...
