Background & Aims The nurse’s ability to make an effective clinical decision affects the quality of care and differentiates professional nurses from non-professional ones. Many individual and organizational factors affect clinical decision-making of nurses. This study aims to examine the relationship between participation in clinical decision-making and organizational culture of nurses in intensive care units (ICUs) of selected hospitals in Tehran, Iran Materials & Methods This is a descriptive-correlational study. Participants were 317 nurses working in the ICUs of hospitals affiliated to Iran University of Medical Sciences, who were selected with proportional stratified sampling and sequential sampling methods. The data collection tools were the clinical decision-making questionnaire of Kyalo (2008) and the organizational culture assessment instrument of Cameron and Quinn (1990). The obtained data was analyzed in SPSS statistical software, version16. Descriptive indices (Mean±SD, frequency, percentage) were used to describe the data, and Pearson’s correlation test, independent t-test, and chi-square test were used to examine the relationships between the study variables. Results Among nurses, 88.5% were female, 86.5% had a bachelor’s level, and 39.6% were working in the ICU general. Their mean age was 34.65 years, and their mean nursing experience and the work experience in the ICU was 10.38 and 7.25 years, respectively. The mean score of clinical decision-making was 70.16±11.65, which was higher than the cutoff point (>54), indicating that the participation of nurses in clinical decision-making was high. The dominant organizational culture in the current situation was the market culture. In the preferred situation, the organizational dominant culture was the clan culture. Organizational culture in the current situation had no significant relationship with clinical decision-making (P=0.13), but this relationship was significant in the preferred situation (P=0.014). Clinical decision-making in nurses with clan culture was significantly higher than in those with market culture (P=0.013). Conclusion The current organizational culture in the selected hospitals is different from their preferred organizational culture. Despite the significance of relationship between ICU nurses’ participation in clinical decision-making and organizational culture in the preferred situation, the relationship is weak. More studies are needed with a larger sample size. Considering that the clan culture is the preferred culture, planning is needed to establish the clan culture in the hospitals to increase the participation of ICU nurses in clinical decision-making.
背景与目的护士作出有效临床决策的能力影响护理质量,是区分专业护士与非专业护士的重要因素。许多个人和组织因素影响护士的临床决策。本研究旨在探讨伊朗德黑兰选定医院重症监护病房(icu)护士参与临床决策与组织文化之间的关系。材料与方法:本研究为描述性相关研究。研究对象为伊朗医科大学附属医院icu护士317名,采用比例分层抽样和顺序抽样方法。数据收集工具为Kyalo(2008)的临床决策问卷和Cameron and Quinn(1990)的组织文化评估工具。所得数据在SPSS统计软件version16中进行分析。采用描述性指标(Mean±SD、frequency、percentage)描述资料,采用Pearson相关检验、独立t检验和卡方检验检验研究变量之间的关系。结果护士中女性占88.5%,本科学历占86.5%,39.6%在ICU普通科工作。平均年龄34.65岁,平均护理经验10.38年,平均ICU工作经验7.25年。临床决策平均得分为70.16±11.65,高于分界点(>54),说明护士对临床决策的参与程度较高。在当前形势下占主导地位的组织文化是市场文化。在偏好情境下,组织主导文化为氏族文化。当前情境下的组织文化与临床决策的关系不显著(P=0.13),但在首选情境下,组织文化与临床决策的关系显著(P=0.014)。具有家族文化的护士临床决策能力显著高于具有市场文化的护士(P=0.013)。结论入选医院的组织文化现状与首选组织文化存在差异。在首选情境下,ICU护士临床决策参与与组织文化的关系虽有显著意义,但关系较弱。需要更多样本量更大的研究。考虑到宗族文化是首选文化,需要规划医院的宗族文化建设,提高ICU护士在临床决策中的参与度。

Background & Aims Heart failure is one of the important cardiovascular diseases, affecting 1% of people in their 50s and 10% of people in their 80s. People with heart failure, in addition to physical pain, often experience stress, anxiety, depression, and poor quality of life (QoL). Considering the importance of illness-related worries and spiritual intelligence (SI) in these people, this study aims to determine the relationship between SI and illness-related worries in people with heart failure in Mazandaran, Iran. Materials & Methods This is a descriptive-correlational study. Participants were 247 patients with heart failure admitted to Fatemeh Al-Zahra Hospital affiliated to Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences. To measure the variables, a demographic form, the spiritual intelligence scale of King & Decicco (2009), and the illness-related worries questionnaire. Descriptive statistics (No.[%], Mean±SD) and inferential statistics (Pearson correlation test, independent t-test) were used to analyze the data in SPSS software, version 16. Significance level was set at 0.05. Results The mean total scores of SI and illness-related worries were 61.20 ±16.10 and 86.70 ±19.97, respectively. Pearson correlation test results showed a negative significant relationship between illness-related worries and SI (r=-0.608, P=0.001). Cognitive independence domain of illness-related worries was strongly correlated with all SI domains, including critical existential thinking, personal meaning production, transcendental awareness, and conscious state expansion. The SI had a significant relationship with gender (P=0.001), marital status (P=0.014), economic status (P=0.002), employment status (P=0.018), education status (P=0.001), insurance coverage (P=0.001). The illness-related worries had a significant relationship with gender (P=0.001), history of diabetes (P=0.04), marital status (P=0.001), educational level (P=0.044), and insurance coverage (P=0.01). Conclusion To reduce the illness-related worries of people with heart failure, their SI should be improved using related interventions such as SI training programs.

Background & Aims Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused many psychological and social problems in people around the world, especially nurses. The present study aims to investigate and compare post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), burnout, and psychological disorders in nurses with and without COVID-19. Materials & Methods This is a causal-comparative study. The study population includes all male and female nurses of non-government hospitals in Tehran from July to September 2021. Of these, 220 nurses (110 without COVID-19 infection and 110 with COVID-19) voluntarily participated in the study. The questionnaires were the Mississippi Scale for Combat-Related Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, the Maslach Burnout Inventory, and the Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale. Finally, data analysis was performed using multivariate and univariate analysis of variance in SPSS software, version 16. Results There was a significant difference between the two groups in terms of PTSD, burnout, and psychological disorders (P<0.05). Nurses with COVID-19 had higher scores in PTSD (F=96.38, P<0.001), emotional exhaustion (P<0.001, F=12.45), depersonalization (F=15.49, P<0.001), depression (F=92.97, P<0.001), anxiety (F=37.94, P<0.001) and stress (F=47.6, P<0.001). The nurses with no COVID-19 had higher score in personal accomplishment. Conclusion Nurses who were infected with COVID-19 had lower psychological health compared to non-infected nurses. For this purpose, it is necessary to take measures to identify and provide psychological treatments to improve the mental health of vulnerable nurses.

Background & Aims It is essential to pay attention to the psychological complications after a heart attack in line with other physiological complications. The proximity of these patients to death has caused death anxiety, which can weaken their morale. This study aims to determine death anxiety and demoralization in patients with acute myocardial infarction admitted to post-cardiac care units of the Iran University of Medical Sciences in 2021. Materials & Methods The present study is a descriptive cross-sectional study that was performed on 206 patients with myocardial infarction admitted to the educational-medical centers of Iran University of Medical Sciences in the first half of 2021. Data collection tools included the demographic profile form, Templer death anxiety questionnaire, and Kissane demoralization. Data were analyzed using SPSS software, version 20 and Pearson correlation coefficient, independent t test, and analysis of variance. Results Most patients in the study were male, married, and self-employed with a mean age of 57.97±12.49 years. The mean score of death anxiety in patients with myocardial infarction was 6.26±1.62 (moderate). Most patients (43.7%) had moderate death anxiety. The mean score of demoralization syndrome was 11.88±5.34 (severe). Most patients (60.7%) had severe demoralization syndrome. Conclusion The death anxiety of patients after myocardial infarction was moderate and their demoralization syndrome was severe, therefore it is necessary to pay attention to them and recognize the factors affecting nurses working in intensive care units and recommend being included in the training of care for these patients.

Background & Aims Error is considered as a part of reality and an integral part of human life. Error reporting is defined as a strategic indicator for error prevention. Nursing managers use management measures and strategies to create an climate in the workplace that nurses increase the rate of reporting errors. The purpose of this study was to determine of the components of nursing errors reporting in selected hospitals of Tehran University of Medical Sciences in 2020. Materials & Methods This research is a descriptive study. The research population includes nurses working in selected hospitals of Tehran University of Medical Sciences. The number of samples was determined using the cochran formula, 336 were determined. Samples were selected by relative stratified random sampling method in July 2020.The tools used in the present study include Made Questionnaire the components of nursing errors reporting. Content validity of both questionnaires was confirmed by content validity method based on the view of 10 faculty members in the field of nursing care and nursing management. Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the components of nursing errors reporting questionnaire (0.78) were measured. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and inferential tests such as Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Cramer's v and Mann-Whitney U using SPSS software, version 16. Results According to the results,the mean scores of nursing errors were 80.3% and 32.64% of nurses revealed errors after observing them. Despite the positive nurses’ attitudes toward nursing errors reporting,"fear" and "Managerial barriers" is the most prominent barrier contributing to underreporting. There were significant relationships between nursing errors reporting and hospital ward type, education, nursing error experience, errors reporting method and job experience(P˂0.001). Conclusion Based on the results of the study, creating an anonymous, effective and efficient system for reporting and recording nursing errors, in order to prevent errors, is a necessity in nursing management. Managers have a systematic perspective to identify the factors affecting the occurrence of errors along with their positive reaction and supportive behaviors to the reported errors of nurses can create a culture of fearless learning at the department and organization level and overcome Barriers to reporting nursing errors.

Nursing is an independent discipline and a branch of medical sciences. Its mission is to provide the necessary health, treatment and rehabilitation services at the highest level to ensure, maintain or improve the health of society. Davis et al. (2005) emphasized the importance of measuring patient care quality. In their study, a standard questionnaire named quality patient care scale (QUALPAC) was used to measure the quality of patient care. This tool has been used since 1975 in different countries. Different studies have used this questionnaire with 68 items. The Persian version of this tool was validated in Iran by Khoshkho et al. Based on their results, the Persian version has 72 items rated on a five-option Likert scale. Different versions of QUALPAC been used in various studies conducted in Iran, and its reason is not clear. For example, in the study by Heydari and et al., the 65-item version of QUALPAC was used, with no reference was provided for the applied version.

Background & Aims Knee osteoarthritis (KO) is one of the most common causes of pain, reduced function and disability in the elderly. Exercise is one of the methods suggested to manage the pain caused by KO. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of a home workout program on reducing pain in the elderly with KO. Materials & Methods In this randomized controlled clinical trial conducted in March 2021 for three months, 70 older adults with KO were selected using a convenience sampling method and randomly assigned to exercise and control groups. The workout program was first implemented twice a day for 4 weeks in the clinic as a trial. Then, it was performed twice a day at home for another 4 weeks. Before and after the exercise, the patients were evaluated by the pain subscale of the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS). The collected data were analyzed in SPSS software, version 18 using independent t, paired t test, chi-square test, and Fisher’s exact test. The significance level was set at 0.05. Results There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of demographic and clinical variables and in the mean pain score before the intervention (P=0.587). After the intervention, a significant reduction in pain intensity was reported in the exercise group (P= 0.009). Conclusion The home workout program is effective in reducing the pain of the elderly with KO. It is recommended to use it as a simple and cost-effective intervention to rehabilitate patients with KO along with other treatment methods.

Introduction & Objective: Parents' understanding of how to prevent diseases and treat them promptly is an influential factor in a child's development. Thus, adherence to health-related behaviors depends on the awareness and performance of mothers. In any society, mothers and children require much more health care than other age groups because of their vulnerability. As a result, they draw special attention to themselves. Paying attention to children in a community is an investment in its long-term future. Therefore, it is particularly important to prevent, diagnose, and treat diseases in childhood. In addition, one of the most important aspects of disease prevention for children is observing a mother's behavior with regard to the health of her child. Mothers and children are always a priority group in any society. This is because they are not only the primary consumers of healthcare services but also a large group of vulnerable individuals. This implies that healthy behaviors are essential to maintaining and improving the health of children, families, and society. Furthermore, mothers play a significant role in maintaining and enhancing the health of their children. In order to examine the behaviors associated with the health of hospitalized children and related factors among mothers of hospitalized children, the researchers conducted the present study. Materials and methods:This study was a cross-sectional study conducted by observing the behavior of 216 mothers with children who were hospitalized in children's wards of educational hospitals affiliated with Kashan University of Medical Sciences from November 2018 to March 2019. Based on the preliminary study results, the sample size was calculated by taking the average score of the questionnaire, 20.3 ± 4.75, the first type error of 5%, and the estimation error of 0.5 based on the formula of 216 people. In this study, sampling was continuous. After obtaining permission from the hospital and department officials, the second author visited two educational-therapeutic centers' children's departments. Then, among the hospitalized patients (children), he selected those children whose mother was at the hospital as the primary caregiver. They were then apprised of the objectives of the research, and their hygiene behavior would be observed in the following stages. Afterward, they were asked to provide written consent for participation in the study. In the next stage, the first author (who was a member of the children's department in both study centers) observed the mothers' health behaviors toward their children indirectly. As soon as the observer saw the mother's intrusive behavior in the ward, he immediately went to the nursing station to document it. Due to the fact that the observer was a member of the nursing staff, the possibility of altering the mother's behavior was reduced. Each mother observed the behaviors for nearly 8 hours. In most cases, data collection took place during the morning and e

Background & Aims: Job burnout can leads absenteeism, leaving the job or having the intention to leave, reduced quality of life, reduced performance, and reduced quality of patient care and commitment to the organization. Organizational climate has always been important in the nursing profession and in the hospital environment where the nurse’ performance is known as an important component in improving the quality of treatment. This study aims to determine the relationship of job burnout with organizational climate in nurses. Materials & Methods: This descriptive correlational study with cross-sectional design was performed in 2020 in the internal surgical wards of four teaching hospitals affiliated to Iran University of Medical Sciences. The sampling was done by a cluster sampling method. The sample size was determined 200 at a 95% confidence level and considering a 80% test power. To collect data, a demographic form, the Maslach burnout inventory, and Halpin and Croft’s organizational climate description questionnaire were used. Data analysis was performed in SPSS v. 24 software using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: Emotional exhaustion domain of job burnout had a statistically significant correlation with all dimensions of organizational climate except for group spirit and disengagement; it had a negative significant correlation with the hindrance dimension and a positive significant correlation with other dimensions. With the increase of organizational climate, emotional exhaustion increases, resulting in more job burnout. Conclusion: Health workers, especially nurses and managers, should take measures to reduce job burnout and improve organizational climate and patient satisfaction according to the existing conditions and resources. It is recommended that the educational supervisors of the hospitals develop and implement in-service training focusing on the components of job burnout and organizational climate.
