Introduction: The rate of first hospitalization for incidence of stroke has been significantly rising over the past 20 years and this requires proper management of the neurology ward beds. In this regard, the present study was conducted to evaluate the correlates of length of stay in stroke patients. Methods: the study design is descriptive and correlation. The study population consisted of 153 patients diagnosed with stroke admitted to the neurology ward of Imam Reza Hospital of Kermanshah in Iran, December 2014 to February 2015. The required data obtained from Hospital Information System (HIS) and it was confirmed by telephone follow-up. Statistical analysis included Pearson correlation and linear regression analysis were used to analyze the data. Results: The linear regression analysis results show that type of transfer the patient to hospital can correctly predict the length of stay (P=0.012) and the patients who used ambulance for transfer to hospital occupy a bed almost 5 days more than others. Our model was able to explain only 7% of the variance for the length of stay. Conclusions: It seems stroke patients who used ambulance for transfer to a hospital compared to others stay in the hospital for a longer time. Therefore, it is necessary that the number of beds required in stroke therapy wards be calculated according to the usual demand for dispatching ambulances and taking the ratio of personal referrals.

Introduction: Achieving the goals of successful ageing is considered to be an effective strategy for the promotion of health in the elderly. The purpose of present study was to compare the coping strategies and perception of aging in successful and unsuccessful elderly people in Ardabil city. Methods: This study is a causal-comparative study. The statistical population consisted of elderly people in Ardebil who were selected through convenience sampling from 60 elderly people (30 successful elders and 30 unsuccessful elders) and were assessed with Baltes questionnaire for coping strategies (selection, optimization and compensation), and Barkers age perception questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using multivariate analyses of variance and U Mann Whitney test and through SPSS v.21 statistical software. Results: The results showed that the successful elderly, as compared to the unsuccessful elderly, reported more favorable copnig strategies (U=244, P< 0.002). The results also showed that successful seniors had more perception of aging than compared to unsuccessful elderly people (F= 15.19, P<0.01).

Introduction: Biological aging is not something that only occurs in older people, but it’s a continuous process and natural that begins at puberty and ultimately leads to death. The aim of this study is to investigate the theory of free radicals and aging and its related aspects. Methods: This study is a narrative review study. That was done by searching the databases of SID, Irandoc, Magiran, Google Scholar, Pub Med, and Science Direct with the keywords free radicals, aging, and free radicals theory in aging. Results:The production of free radicals occurs in all cells, and in spite of their inactivation by intracellular antioxidants, they exert their effects on the cells, and accumulation of these effects over time may impair cell function, and this should be noted. That cannot be stopped, and as said, antioxidants only affect the average lifespan and are ineffective in maximizing longevity. Conclusions: Daily intake of non-enzymatic oral antioxidants can affect many diseases such as cancer, atherosclerosis, stroke, neurodegenerative diseases and diabetes, but it has no effect on maximizing lifespan.

Results: Mean and standard deviation total score of death anxiety was 60.09 ± 8.3 in the score range of 15-75. Mean and standard deviation total score of self-care was 94.89 ± 4.85 in the score range of 40-160. Based on the spearman correlation test, there was statistically significant and reverse correlation between death anxieties with selfcare (r = -0.590, P= 0.001). Conclusion: The results of our study showed that the level of death anxiety in elderly patients with COPD was high. Death anxiety in patients has a negative effect on their self-

COPD causes many problems, including dyspnea, fatigue, depression, malnutrition and limitation in daily activities and death anxiety among patients that can affect their self-care. Method: This study considered as a descriptive-correlation study in 128 elderly with COPD that referred to Masih daneshvari hospital in Tehran with accessible sampling method. Research tools were included demographic information questionnaire, Templer death anxiety questionnaire and Elderly self-care questionnaire. Data were analyzed by spss v.16 software using Spearman’s correlation test, One-way ANOVA and Independent t-test.
