Introduction: Nursing students often experience stress due to their educational demands and developmental stage. This study focuses on nursing students to investigate the relationship between their attitudes toward seeking psychological help and their levels of perceived self-stigma and social stigma. Methods: This was a descriptive correlational study, in which 791 nursing students participated through convenience sampling between April and May 2022. Data were collected using the Attitude Towards Seeking Psychological Help Scale-R (ASPH-R), the Stigma Scale for Receiving Psychological Help (SSRPH), and the Self-Stigma of Seeking Help (SSOSH). The data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression analysis. The article adheres to the STROBE checklist in its organization and presentation. Results: Positive attitudes towards seeking psychological help were negatively correlated with self-stigma (r=-0.39, P<0.01) and social stigma perceptions (r=-0.17, P<0.01), while negative attitudes were positively correlated with self-stigma (r=0.50, P<0.01) and social stigma (r=0.47, P<0.01). Variables of sex, age, self-stigma, and social stigma significantly contributed to explaining attitudes towards seeking psychological help. Conclusion: Social stigma and particularly self-stigma significantly influence nursing students’ attitudes towards seeking psychological help. Therefore, it is recommended that authorities develop psychoeducational interventions aimed at enhancing nursing students’ mental health awareness and reducing self-stigma.

Introduction: Endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation are the most frequently used life-sustaining interventions in critical care. Prolonged intubation can lead to post-extubation dysphagia, affecting the individual’s nutritional level and communication ability. Thereupon, this study aims to assess the effectiveness of swallowing and oral care interventions in resuming oral intake and increasing salivary flow in post-extubation patients. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted in critical care units of a tertiary care setting, where 92 post-extubation patients who had undergone intubation for≥48 hours were enrolled. The intervention group received swallowing and oral interventions, including safe swallowing education (SSE), toothbrushing, salivary gland massage, oral cavity, and swallowing exercises. In contrast, the control group received standard oral care every 8th hour. Oral intake was assessed daily with the Functional Oral Intake Scale, and the salivary flow measurement was assessed with oral Schirmer’s test on the 1st, 3rd, and 7th day after extubation. Results: The baseline demographic and clinical characteristics showed that the groups were homogenous. The intervention group achieved total oral intake two days earlier than the control group. Findings also showed that the participants in the intervention group had a significant increase in salivary flow than in the control group on the 3rd and 7th days of the intervention. Conclusion: Swallowing and oral care interventions help post-extubation patients resume early oral intake and increase salivary flow after prolonged intubation. Hence, it improves the patient’s outcome toward a healthy life.

Introduction: Infant colic, causing excessive crying, poses anxiety for parents and a challenge for pediatricians and nurses. The Infant Colic Scale (ICS) serves to assess the severity and causal factors of colic. Despite its significance, the psychometric properties of ICS have not been evaluated in the Iranian population. This study seeks to address this gap by assessing the psychometric properties of ICS in Iran. Methods: A sample of 220 mothers with 2–16-week-old term infants diagnosed with infantile colic was selected through convenience sampling. Following forward and back-translation, the face validity, content validity, and construct validity of ICS were systematically evaluated. Reliability was examined through both internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha) and test-retest stability methods. Results: Content validity index (CVI) and content validity ratio (CVR) values for ICS were 0.94 and 0.81, respectively. The good fit indices confirmed the validity of the five-factor structure. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were 0.71 and 0.94, respectively. Conclusion: The Persian version of ICS is a valid and reliable tool, suitable for assessing infantile colic in the Iranian population. Future studies and clinical practice can utilize this tool to identify major causes of this disorder in the Iranian context.

Introduction: The critical coronavirus pandemic presents a global challenge with dimensions yet unknown, underscoring the essential need to comprehend the lived experiences, especially for vulnerable groups. This study delves into the childbirth experiences of mothers dealing with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Methods: Employing hermeneutic phenomenology, this qualitative research was conducted at Mashhad University of Medical Sciences (Iran). Purposeful sampling involved 16 mothers with maximum variation. Unstructured telephone interviews collected data, analyzed using the Diekelman approach. Results: Unveiling the theme "Novel Memories of Motherhood," four central themes emerged: "The Missing Link in Quality Care," "Coronavirus Stigma," "A lonely mother in quarantine," and "Cascade of Psychological Trauma." Conclusion: COVID-19 acts as an intervening factor, distorting routine care and delivery programs. The focus for service providers attending to mothers in labor should extend beyond physical care, encompassing the elimination of coronavirus-related stigma and prioritizing psychological attention. This holistic approach is crucial for maintaining quality care standards.
导言：严重的冠状病毒大流行是一个全球性的挑战，其影响范围尚不可知，这凸显了了解生活经验的必要性，尤其是弱势群体的生活经验。本研究探讨了 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）母亲的分娩经历。研究方法本定性研究采用诠释现象学，在伊朗马什哈德医科大学（Mashhad University of Medical Sciences）进行。有目的的抽样涉及 16 位母亲，差异最大。通过非结构化电话访谈收集数据，并采用迪克曼方法进行分析。结果在揭示 "新颖的母性记忆 "这一主题时，出现了四个中心主题："优质护理中缺失的一环"、"冠状病毒耻辱"、"隔离中的孤独母亲 "和 "心理创伤的连环效应"。结论COVID-19 作为一种干扰因素，扭曲了常规护理和分娩计划。孕产妇护理服务提供者的工作重点不应局限于身体护理，还应包括消除与冠状病毒相关的耻辱感和优先关注心理问题。这种综合方法对于保持优质护理标准至关重要。

Introduction: Angiography stands as the paramount and definitive diagnostic method for coronary artery disease. However, akin to various other invasive procedures, it may carry a multitude of complications. This study sought to assess the incidence of vascular complications post-arterial sheath removal, comparing the use of a ClampEase device against manual compression. Methods: This quasi-experimental clinical trial involved patients undergoing angiography at the post-angiography ward in Isfahan, Iran. A total of 91 patients were selected through convenience sampling and randomly assigned to either the manual compression or ClampEase device groups. Monitoring common vascular complications like hemorrhage, hematomas, and ecchymosis occurred up to 24 hours post-arterial sheath removal. Data were collected using a digital scale model DM3, a transparent flexible ruler, and a questionnaire named ‘vascular complications after angiography.’ Analysis was performed using SPSS software version 13. Results: Statistical analysis revealed that, when compared to the manual method, compression with the ClampEase device led to fewer vascular complications in patients and a quicker return to homeostasis. Conclusion: The findings underscore that the ClampEase method is a safer alternative with fewer vascular complications than the manual compression method. This discovery has implications for reducing hospital costs and length of stay. The ClampEase device is associated with a swifter time to hemostasis, contributing to enhanced patient comfort and acceptance.

Introduction: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) becomes one of the diseases that greatly increased in the older adult population. Family caregivers play an important role in caring for family members who suffer from AD. The aim of this study was to illuminate the meaning of family caregivers’ lived experiences caring for a family member with AD from the perspective of an Indonesian. Methods: Narrative interviews were conducted with 13 family caregivers. These interviews were audio-taped and transcribed verbatim and analyzed using a phenomenological hermeneutic approach. Results: The findings are presented under two main themes: Descent and ascent in caring for which emerged from category from being denial to acceptance, from lack of patience to compassion, from using to not using medication, and desperate yet responsibility. Another theme, caregivers’ life learning emerged from the category of ongoing caring for and getting through in caring for. Conclusion: Expressed concerns have shown that family caregivers not only face challenges in caring for family members suffering from AD, but also gain a lesson for life. It is necessary for family caregivers to manage caring processes for family members who suffer from AD.

Introduction: The 2019 coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) has affected the physical and mental health of individuals, families, and communities worldwide including Indonesia. This study aimed to examine anxiety and depression in the general population and factors related to anxiety and depression due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This study employed an online cross-sectional survey of 1149 respondents. We assessed self-reports regarding current health conditions and exposure to COVID-19, anxiety, and depression in the general population in Indonesia. Results: The results showed that 26.6% and 30.5% of the participants experienced mild to severe anxiety and depression, respectively. The ordinal regression test showed that anxiety in the community was significantly related to age, feeling infected with COVID-19, feeling that a friend/colleague is infected with COVID-19, sufficient information regarding COVID-19, and the types of symptoms that are felt (fever, cough, and cold/sore throat, difficulty breathing). Besides, education level, occupation, feeling that family is infected with COVID-19, symptoms experienced, and anxiety were significantly related to depression. Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused anxiety and depression in the general population in Indonesia. This study’s results can be a catalyst in providing psychological interventions for the general public facing the COVID-19 pandemic.

Introduction: Reflection is considered an essential element in nurses’ practice with different positive outcomes, we decided to determine the level of nurses’ reflection and then assess the relationship between nurses’ reflection with their self-efficacy and work engagement. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 240 nurses were selected from seven educational hospitals affiliated with Tabriz University of medical sciences (Iran). The stratified random sampling method was used to select the participants from hospitals. Data were collected through three questionnaires including Groningen Reflection Ability Scale (GRAS), Sherer’s General Self-Efficacy Scale (SGSES), and Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES). Data were analyzed using SPSS version 13. Results: According to the results, the mean (SD) score of nurses’ reflection was calculated as 86.51 (8.17) out of 115. The mean (SD) score of nurses’ self-efficacy was 60.89 (11.11) out of 85. Moreover, the mean (SD) total score of nurses’ work engagement in a possible range of 0 to 6 was 3.39 (1.36). There was a positive and significant relationship between the total reflection score with work engagement and self-efficacy scores. Conclusion: According to the results, nurses working in different units showed different scores of reflection. Moreover, the results of the present study showed that nurses’ reflection is associated with nurses’ work engagement and self-efficacy. Therefore, nurse managers and nurse educators should improve nurses’ skills in reflection and they should support the reflective practice in clinical settings.
导言:反思被认为是护士实践的重要因素，具有不同的积极结果，我们决定确定护士反思的水平，然后评估护士反思与自我效能感和工作投入之间的关系。方法:选取伊朗大不里士医科大学附属7所教育医院共240名护士进行横断面研究。采用分层随机抽样的方法从医院中选取研究对象。通过格罗宁根反思能力量表(GRAS)、舍尔一般自我效能量表(SGSES)和乌得勒支工作投入量表(UWES)三份问卷收集数据。数据采用SPSS version 13进行分析。结果:根据结果，计算出护士反思的平均(SD)得分为86.51分(8.17分)(总分115分)。护士自我效能感平均(SD)得分为60.89(11.11)分(总分85分)。在0 ~ 6的可能范围内，护士工作投入的平均(SD)总分为3.39分(1.36分)。总反思得分与工作投入、自我效能得分之间存在显著正相关。结论:根据调查结果，不同单位护士的反思得分存在差异。此外，本研究结果显示，护士反思与护士的工作投入和自我效能感相关。因此，护士管理者和护士教育者应该提高护士的反思技能，并支持临床环境中的反思实践。
