Background and Objectives: Nurses spend more time with patients than other medical personnel and this requires proper decision making by nurses regarding proper and effective pain control in patients. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the knowledge and attitude of nurses in Jahrom University of Medical Sciences towards pain management. Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was performed on 142 nurses working in hospitals of Jahrom University of Medical Sciences in 2021. Data collection tools in this study are demographic information questionnaire and nurseschr('39') knowledge and attitude questionnaire about pain. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software version 21 and descriptive statistical tests and inferential tests. Results: The Mean score of nurses chr('39')knowledge about pain management was 10.8±3.3 and the mean score of nurseschr('39') attitude towards pain management was 63.1±7.9. The level of knowledge of the majority of nurses was 130 (91.5%) and the level of attitude of the majority of nurses towards pain management was 112 (78.9%). Only 24 (16.9%) nurses had a positive attitude towards pain management. Pearson correlation coefficient showed a positive and significant relationship between knowledge score and nurseschr('39')attitude score (r=0.248, P=0.003). Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that most nurses do not have sufficient knowledge and attitude towards pain management.

Background and Objectives: Medicinal plants are one of the most important natural resources in each country. The aim of this study was to evaluate the anti-biofilm effect of ethanol and methanol extracts of Ziziphus spina-christi leaves, Peganum harmala, Salvia officinalis, and Querqus brantii on the growth and formation of biofilm by Staphylococcus aureus. Methods: Following evaluation of the susceptibility of the studied Staphylococcus aureus strain to various antibiotics, the growth inhibitory effect of extracts on the bacterium was investigated by disc diffusion method and then the inhibitory effect of the extracts on biofilm formation was evaluated in 96 well micro-titer plates. The means were compared with ANOVA test. Results: The results from antibacterial effect of the extracts showed that the methanol extract of Peganum harmala and Querqus brantii seeds at 350 and 450 mg/ml concentrations had a greater inhibitory effect on the growth of Staphylococcus aureus than other extracts as well as synthetic antibiotics. The results from anti-biofilm formation effect of the extracts showed that methanol extract of Salvia officinalis leaves and Querqus brantii seeds at 350 mg/ml concentration, and ethanol extract of Salvia officinalis leaves at 350 mg/ml concentration were the lowest concentrations that showed the greatest inhibitory effect on biofilm formation by Staphylococcus aureus. Other extracts inhibited biofilm formation by this bacterium in higher concentrations. The lowest anti-biofilm effect on Staphylococcus aureus was observed by ethanolic and methanolic extracts of Ziziphus spina-christi leaf. Conclusion: The studied extracts in this study, especially the methanol extracts of Salvia officinalis leaves and Peganum harmala seeds, and ethanol extract of Salvia officinalis leaves are good solutions for S. aureus infection and biofilms formation control and are suggested that be evaluated in In vivo experiments and clinical applications.

Background and Objectives: Academic procrastination can have an adverse effect on students' educational, communicational, health, and career prospects. Therefore, recognizing the factors affecting academic procrastination among students is essential. The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between academic procrastination with emotional intelligence and self-efficacy among operating room students of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional correlational study was performed on 95 operating room students of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. Data collection tools included demographic information questionnaires, academic procrastination questionnaire, Scherer general self-efficacy scale and schutte self-report emotional intelligence scale. Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance, Pearson correlation coefficient and simultaneous multiple regression by SPSS software version 21. Results: The Mean±SD scores of academic procrastination, self-efficacy and emotional intelligence were 20.6±8.7, 63.1±9.3 and 119.2±17.6, respectively. There was a significant and inverse correlation between academic procrastination with self-efficacy (P= 0.001, r= -0.339) and emotional intelligence (P=0.007, r= -0.276). The results of regression analysis showed that the model of predicting academic procrastination based on self-efficacy is significant (P=0.035). Academic procrastination based on emotional intelligence was not significant (P=0.474). Conclusion: The results of this study show that academic procrastination is less among students with higher self-efficacy and emotional intelligence.

Background and Objectives: Aspartame is a non-nutritive and artificial sweetener which is widely used in diet and low calorie products and also in a variety of foods, drugs and hygiene products. The present study has been conducted in order to evaluation of the effects of aspartame on ovaries in female mice. Methods: In this experimental study, 36 adult female mice were randomly divided into four groups of nine each. For three groups aspartame was administered orally with the doses of 40, 80 and 160 mg/kg.BW respectively, and one group as the control group received normal saline for 91 days by gavage. Also a control group was considered. 24 hours after the last treatment, ovarian tissue and blood samples were collected and used for biochemical, histomorphological, histomorphometric, histochemical and gene expression studies. The obtained data were analyzed using One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Tukey’s test at the significance level of P<0.05. Results: In ovarian histomorphometric studies, aspartame at a dose of 160 mg/kg significantly reduced growing follicles and significantly increased atresia follicles. Also in biochemical studies caused a significant decrease in TAC and a significant increase in MDA compared to control group. In connection with the studied genes, aspartame at a dose of 160 mg/kg caused a significant decrease in the expression of Bcl-2 gene and also a significant increase in the expression of P53 and Caspase-3 genes compared to the control group. Conclusion: It seems that high dose aspartame can cause adverse effects on histomorphology, histomorphometry and expression of P53, Bcl-2 and Caspase-3 genes in rat ovaries
