Background: Increasing job-related stresses among firefighters not only affect the incentive of work but also cause a reduction in productivity. Objectives: This study was conducted to investigate job-related stress situations among firefighters and its related factors. Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 184 employees of operation department of fire stations of Rasht in April and May 2015. Health and Safety Executive tool was used to assess stress score among participants. Results: Of total, 141 subjects were participated in the study (response rate= 77%). The prevalence of moderate and high job-related stress among firefighters was 2.1%, which have been experienced severe stress and need rapid intervention. the prevalence of low stress that need to improve their stress situation was 88.7% (125 firefighters). 13 firefighters (9.2%) had no stress and were on ideal conditions and this situation should be maintained. Conclusion: Firefighters have great responsibility in saving people lives, thus periodic reviews on firefighters is essential to determine the level of stress and its early identification and prevention. Training of firefighters on ways of coping and empowerment can be effective in promoting their health and improving rescue services.

Background: Hospital supply chain management (SCM) agility requires finding the main and effective dimensions, prioritizing, communicating between them and analyzing these dimensions in relation to each other. Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify different dimensions of the hospital SCM agility, proposing a model of the hospital SCM agility and determining the relationships between dimensions of agility, and prioritizing, analyzing, and interpreting dimensions of the hospital SCM agility. Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on the physicians, nurses and staff working at public hospitals affiliated to Guilan University of Medical Sciences. Delphi technique was used to determine the dimensions of agility, interpretive-structural modeling approach was used for analysis. Network analysis was used to prioritize the dimensions of agility Results: In the literature review 16 dimensions of agility were identified. The final model of agile supply chain management has 8 levels; cost reduction placed at the highest level and organizational leadership commitment was at the lowest level. Cost reduction dimensions were the highest priority and organizational culture was the lowest priority in the final network analysis. Conclusion: Agile supply chain management has very important and complex elements. Neglecting to monitor their changes can cause irreparable and profound damage to the medical sector. Interpretive-structural approach and network analysis create a constructive and effective method to model, analyze, and prioritize the dimensions of agile supply chain management.

Background: The mental health of young people is highly influenced by the identity exploration processes, social origin of identity, and information processing styles. Objectives: The present study was aimed to investigate the effects of metacognitive beliefs on dimensions of emerging adulthood (EA) identity mediated by mental health in university students. Materials & Methods: In this descriptive correlational study, the statistical population included all male and female, 18-25-year-old university students of the public universities of Tehran in 2020-21. The study sample consisted of 178 students selected through convenience sampling. The research instruments included Arnett's Inventory of the Dimensions of Emerging Adulthood (IDEA), Metacognition Questionnaire-30 (MCQ-30), and Goldberg’s General Health Questionnaire-12 (GHQ-12). The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). Results: Metacognitive beliefs was directly associated with mental health (β=0.61, P=0.001) and instability/negativity (β=0.24, P=0.010). Moreover, mental health had a significant positive association with instability/negativity (β=0.25, P=0.004) and a significant inverse association with possibilities/optimism (β=-0.23, P=0.018). The relationship between metacognitive belief with instability/negativity and possibilities/optimism was partly mediated by mental health. Conclusion: It is necessary to pay special attention to metacognitive beliefs as a factor affecting some EA dimensions such as instability/negativity and possibilities/optimism. Mental health should also be considered as the mediator in the association relationship between metacognitive beliefs and EA dimensions. Based on the results of the present study, it is recommended to hold training workshops on metacognitive strategies to improve their mental health and form identity styles.

Background: Type 1 diabetes patients may find it difficult to cope with diabetes-related stress, which can be improved by accessible interventions. Objective: The goal of this study was to determine whether coping skill training could increase self-efficacy among adolescents with type 1 diabetes during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted as a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The study population was adolescents diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at Tehran Diabetes Center during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown from June to August 2021. Sixteen adolescents with type 1 diabetes were selected using a purposeful sampling method. The participants were divided into experimental (n=9) and control groups (n=7). The measurement tool was the General Self-Efficacy Scale. A total of eight sessions of coping skill training took place for the experimental group; no intervention was performed for the control group. A multivariate analysis of covariance was used to analyze the data. Statistical analysis was performed utilizing SPSS, Version 23. Results: There was no significant difference between the intervention and control groups in terms of age sex, and baseline score of self-efficacy. In the posttest, self-efficacy score significantly improved in the intervention (71.52, SD=13.86) compared to the control group (48.13, SD=12.96) (F=18.97, P<0.001, η2=0.59). Conclusion: According to this study, adolescents with type 1 diabetes who received training in coping skills showed increased self-efficacy. As a result, it can be concluded that adolescents with type 1 diabetes need coping skills training interventions, including self-management support.

Background: Invasive diagnostic tests such as angiography cause stress and anxiety in patient and most of them experience relatively high levels of anxiety. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of aromatherapy on anxety and physiologic parameters of patients undergoing angiography. Materials and Methods: This clinical trial was performed in the angiography department of Heshmat hospital in north of Iran. Eighty patients with anxiety score of above 43 were randomly assigned into two groups of aromatherapy and placebo groups. Fifteen minutes Before and then angiography, the physiologic parameter and anxiety of the patients were measured, and the intervention group sniffed three drops of essential oil of orange blossom for three minutes. Results: In the intervention group, there was no significant difference between the mean score of the manifest and hidden anxiety and the physiological indices before and after the intervention. The adjusted post-intervention values showed that systolic and diastolic blood pressure in the control group were significantly lower than intervention group (P<0.001). The mean reduction of systolic blood pressure in the intervention and control group was 3% and 13%, respectively. The mean diastolic blood pressure reduction was 2% vs 7% in the intervention and control group, respectively. Conclusion: This study revealed no significant effect of aromatherapy on anxiety of the patients undergoing angiography. Among physiologic parameter, systolic and diastolic blood pressure significantly reduced after intervention.

Background: COVID-19 patients across the globe have been reporting several post-COVID health conditions such as respiratory, vascular, cardiac and renal complications and opportunistic infections; the most common of which has been fungal infections. Objective: The objective of our study was to identify socio-demographic characteristics, risk factors, clinical parameters, site of involvement and outcome of patients with COVID-19 associated Mucor Mycosis (CAM) at a tertiary care centre in Rewa (Madhya Pradesh, India), Materials and Methods: This was a prospective observational study, conducted between 1st May to 30th June 2021; including 40 patients who had Mucor Mycosis with recent or active COVID-19. The data was collected using a structured data collection form by trained interviewers who were already working in Mucor Mycosis Ward. Results: The overall mean and median age of the patients was 50.8 years and 52.5 years respectively, with majority of the males (72.5%). Of total, 47.5% patients had active COVID-19, whereas 50% had recent COVID-19 infection. Twenty-two patients (55%) had co-morbidities, among whom the majority had underlying diabetes mellitus (50%). History of Oxygen supplementation and use of steroids was found in 75% and 45% of the patients respectively. History of self-consumption of decoction (Kadha) and self-administration of inhalation drugs was found among 22 (80%) and 8 (20%) patients respectively. Twnty-one patients (52.5%) had gone through operative procedure/ intervention and 11 (27.5%) patients received conservative treatment. In terms of outcome, 20 patients (50%) had been successfully discharged, followed by 14 deaths (35%), 3 referrals (7.5%) to the higher centres and 3 readmissions (7.5%). Conclusion: Addictions and Indian traditional therapies might have played crucial role in occurrence of CAM. In addition, although Oxygen supplementation and steroid consumption have been life-saving against COVID-19, yet might be responsible for acute surge in CAM cases.

Background: Occupational noise is an occupational risk factor that might affects the body system. Objective: A literature review research was implemented to review the published studies that reported relationships between occupational noise and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Materials and Methods: Three databases were searched. A total of eight articles were identified and included. Results: The results show that noise exposure and high noise levels were associated with an increased CVDs. Additionally, some environmental factors such as temperature imbalance, job strain as well as other social and individual risk factors influence the risk of CVDs. Conclusion: Evidence shows that occupational noise is a prominent risk factor for CVDs. Therefore, it is suggested that noise levels exposure should be reduced by personal and social protective equipment or revision measures.

Background: Ovarian Torsion (OT) is a common gynecological emergency. Clinical presentation is nonspecific, and diagnosis is based on a high index of suspicion. Current recommendations strongly are based on ovarian support. Objectives: To assess clinical findings and therapeutic approach of patients diagnosed with OT. Materials & Methods: In this retrospective study 104 patients with confirmed OT in surgery were investigated. Clinical symptoms, laboratory indices, ultrasonography finding, and therapeutic approach were collected from hospital records of patients from 2001 to 2021. Results: The Mean±SD age of patients was 34.7±14.1 years old. The Mean±SD duration from hospitalization to surgery was 6.4±3 hours. The most common symptom in patients was abdominal pain (100%) followed by nausea and vomiting (76.9%). Ovarian cyst (71.2%) was the most gynecologic etiology of OT. Local tenderness (92.3%) and rebound tenderness (46.2%) were the most prevalent sign in physical examination. Necrotic ovary was found in 60 patients (57.7%) at surgery. Detorsion was possible in only 26 patients (25%). Conclusion: This study revealed that most objective findings in patients were nondifferential. The majority of patients with OT were in the reproductive ages, but just one fourth of them treated with conservative management.

Background: Spirituality is an important concept among human societies, and the relation of this concept to other human characteristics is important for health professionals. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between Spiritual Well-Being (SWB) and happiness among the students of health sciences in Guilan University of Medical Sciences (GUMS). Materials & Methods: This was a cross-sectional and descriptive-analytic study carried out among 322 students studying at school of health in GUMS, Iran. The Spiritual well-being scale and Oxford Happiness Questionnaire were used to measure SWB and happiness. Correlation coefficient and multivariate linear regression model were used to assess the association of SWB and happiness. Results: The Mean±SD of SWB and happiness were 55.82±4.71 and 60.88±12.9, respectively. Spiritual health was significantly associated with age and marital status. There was strong correlation between cognitive dimension of spiritual health and welfare dimension (r=0.92, P=0.005) and positive mood dimension (r=0.90, P=0.007) of happiness. The adjusted model for age and marital status showed that satisfaction was significantly associated with SWB (β=0.66, P=0.02) Conclusion: The results revealed a lower than mean value of happiness and SWB among students of health sciences. Satisfaction was the most important predictor of SWB.

Background: Anger rumination affects adolescents’ mental health and seriously damages their functions in interpersonal and communication situations and their social adjustment function in various family, academic and occupational situations. Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the relation of anger rumination and self-criticism with social maladjustment with the mediating role of psychological flexibility in adolescent boys and girls in Ahvaz (Iran). Materials & Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The statistical population was all secondary school students of Ahvaz in the 2020-21 academic year. The 848 participants (443 girls and 405 boys) aged between 16 and 18 years old, were selected using multistage cluster sampling. The research instruments included the Anger Rumination Scale, Levels of Self-Criticism Scale, Acceptance and Action Questionnaire–II, and Social Development Scale. Multigroup SEM was used to compare the proposed model between the girls and the boys. Results: There was a significant direct relationship between anger rumination, self-criticism, psychological flexibility, and social maladjustment (P<0.001). The findings suggested that psychological flexibility played a mediating role in the relationships of anger rumination and self-criticism with social maladjustment (P<0.01). In addition, there was a significant direct relationship between anger rumination and self-criticism to social maladjustment in boys, while this relationship was not significant in girls. Conclusion: The results suggested the desirable goodness of fit of the final model. Therefore, it is suggested to consider the roles of anger rumination, self-criticism, and psychological flexibility in predicting social maladjustment in students while regarding their gender differences in developing and implementing educational programs
