– Study Design, B – Data Collection, C – Statistical Analysis, D – Data Interpretation, E – Manuscript Preparation, F – Literature Search, G – Funds Background. Hypertensive patients usually have shorter sleep duration compared to the healthy population. Short sleep duration in hypertensive patients increases the risk of hypertension co-morbidity incidence and is caused by dietary intake, stress or other lifestyle factors. Objectives. This study aimed to determine the relationship between stress and other factors related with sleep duration in hypertensive patients. Materials and methods. This study used a cross-sectional design with a sample size of 98 hypertensive patients who regularly received treatment for at least six months prior to data collection. Data was collected at Tegal Gundil Primary Healthcare, West Java, Indonesia, in 2017. Sleep duration was determined through the self-reported method, stress was assessed using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) questionnaire, dietary intake using the Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SFFQ), physical activity using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) and the presence of a roommate using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Results. The results showed that the average of hypertensive patients’ sleep duration was 6.39 hours, with 54% of respondents sleep-ing less than the recommended duration (7 hours). A positive correlation was found between stress and sleep duration ( p = 0.020; r = 0.235) and protein intake and sleep duration ( p = 0.041; r = 0.266). The presence of a roommate also had a significant relation with sleep duration ( p = 0.023; OR = 4.45 (1.32–15.01)). Conclusions. It was found that stress, protein intake and the presence of a roommate were associated with short sleep duration among hypertensive patients.

Background. Cancer and type 2 diabetes (T2D), as two groups of prevalent chronic diseases, are associated with different social, economic and emotional consequences, and they can change the quality of life (QoL) of their caregivers. Objectives. The aim of the present study was to determine the relationship between QoL and the burden on caregivers of patients with cancer and T2D. Material and methods. This comparative cross-sectional study was conducted on 308 caregivers of patients with cancer and T2D. Data collection tools included a demographic characteristics form, SF-36 quality of life form and care burden inventory (Novak and Guest). Data was collected using the convenience sampling method. Data analysis was then carried out using descriptive and inferential statistics (linear backward stepwise regression method). Results. The mean age of the caregivers of patients with cancer and T2D was 41.30 ± 13.12 and 41.86 ± 12.78 years, respectively. There was no significant difference between the mean score of care burden and QoL in the two groups of caregivers. There was a significant direct relationship between caregivers’ QoL and caregivers' disease and a significant inverse relationship between caregivers’ education and caring burden. Conclusions. Caregivers of patients with chronic diseases suffer from care burden, which negatively affects their QoL; thus, it is recommended to reduce the care burden, increasing their QoL by providing appropriate mental, psychological, and social support. Due to the negative impact of caring burden on caregivers’ QoL, care services for chronic patients in developing countries should be strengthened.

Background. This study intends to investigate the impact of socio-economic factors on children with asthma, as well as the impact of these factors on their academic performance. Objectives. This work aims at studying asthma and learning disabilities in the United States during the years 2009–2018 and to find not only statistically significant indicators for asthma but also a possible link between asthma and learning disabilities. Material and methods. The statistical methods used to extract the results of this work are the chi-square test and One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) in order to check the statistical significance of asthma with regard to the socio-economic factors of patients. Ad-ditionally, a multiple logistic regression analysis was used with the odds ratio (OR) to find statistically significant prognostic factors for both asthma and learning disabilities. Results. As specified by multiple logistic regression analysis, males who have neither a mother nor father have a higher risk of developing both asthma and learning disabilities, while Black or African Americans are three times more at risk for the occurrence of these types of diseases. In addition, parents’ education and family income proved to also be prognostic risks for both asthma and learning disabilities. Conclusions. The results of this work explain the significance of deprivation (of family and financial support) as the main prognostic risk factor for asthma. Moreover, the same factor proved to be the main prognostic risk factor for learning disabilities as for asthma, which implies a possible association between asthma and learning disabilities.

Due to the common prevalence of Hymenoptera, stings and bites are a well-known problem in society. Most often they are not life threatening, but for a group of people who are allergic to this venom, they are a significant problem. Although stinging species are widely known, patients often have a problem distinguishing between bee and wasp stings. Because of this, it is very important to educate people about Hymenoptera species, as well as about post-sting procedures. The consequences of exposure to venom can be serious, but there are solutions that can significantly affect the quality of life of people who are allergic to venom. One of these is equip-ping the patient with adrenaline auto-injectors, another is venom immunotherapy. In choosing the right method, it is crucial to gather a medical history and check if the patient meets certain guidelines. It is also important if there are other factors that are exceptions to the guidelines. Patients who are concerned with their reaction to Hymenoptera venom often turn to the General Practitioner first. This is why proper education and well-chosen medical treatment are so important at the primary care level. Providing relevant information and providing medical care can significantly increase the quality of life of patients.

Background. The quality of life for children with diabetes type 1 is determined by the ability of parents to care for their children independently. The INKOLA model was developed from the Dorothea Orem self-care deficit model, which emphasized educational support for patients’ self-care and independence. Objectives. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the INKOLA model on the QoL and HbA1C of T1DM children. Material and methods. Our quasi-experimental study with a control group was carried out on 42 T1DM children and their parents. The model of intervention was implemented for four months. QoL was measured twice in the third and fourth months. HbA1C was measured in the fourth month. Results. There was an improvement in QoL scores in the children after three months of the intervention, but the scores were not significantly different (78.67 ± 11.31 vs 73.01 ± 14.85, p = 0.173). After four months, there was an increase in the QoL score which was significantly different (80.93 ± 10.19 vs 70.80 ± 12.21, p < 0.001). The parents’ version of QoL scores after three and four months of intervention showed an improvement, but were not significantly different (three months, 78.42 ± 9.22 vs 78.27 ± 9.64, p = 0.961; four months, 79.62 ± 9.01 vs 78.63 ± 9.52, p = 0.734). The decrease of HbA1C in the intervention group was significant (8.80 ± 1.76 vs 10.59 ± 2.72, p = 0.014). Conclusions. INKOLA based on the Orem Self-Care Model is effective in improving the QoL and in controlling HbA1C for T1DM.
背景。1型糖尿病儿童的生活质量取决于父母独立照顾孩子的能力。INKOLA模型是在Dorothea Orem自我照顾缺陷模型的基础上发展而来，强调对患者自我照顾和独立的教育支持。目标。本研究旨在确定INKOLA模型对T1DM儿童生活质量和糖化血红蛋白的有效性。材料和方法。本研究对42例T1DM患儿及其父母进行了准实验研究，并设对照组。干预模式实施4个月。QoL分别于第3个月和第4个月测量两次。第4个月测量HbA1C。结果。干预3个月后患儿的生活质量评分有所改善，但差异无统计学意义(78.67±11.31 vs 73.01±14.85,p = 0.173)。4个月后，两组患者的生活质量评分均有显著提高(80.93±10.19 vs 70.80±12.21,p < 0.001)。干预后3个月和4个月父母版生活质量评分有所改善，但差异无统计学意义(3个月，78.42±9.22 vs 78.27±9.64,p = 0.961;4个月，79.62±9.01 vs 78.63±9.52,p = 0.734)。干预组HbA1C降低显著(8.80±1.76 vs 10.59±2.72,p = 0.014)。结论。基于Orem自我护理模型的INKOLA可有效改善T1DM患者的生活质量和控制HbA1C。

Background. due to the role of correct habits in students’ academic progress, this study is aimed at evaluateing students’ study habits in Iranian medical universities. Material and methods. Data collection method in this study was a systematic review and meta-analysis based on searches for articles published on reputable Iranian and international sites for words such as “study habits,” “students,” “University of Medical Sciences,” and “Iran”; it was conducted without any time limit. It used a standard questionnaire of 45 study habits by Palsane and Sharma (PSSHI). Also, in the dataj analysis, computer software R version 3.6.3 was used to estimate the average score of students’ study habits. Results. In the present study, 13 articles were reviewed, as a result of which 2,665 students who were studying at one of the Iranian medical universities from 2006 to 2018 were assessed. The overall score for students’ study habits was 49.03 out of a maximum score of 90. Similarly, eight areas of students’ study habits were calculated separately: time allocated was 5.61 out of a maximum score of 10; physical conditions was 6.94 out of a maximum score of 12; reading capability was 14.8 out of a maximum score of 16; note-taking was 3.17 out of a maximum score of 6; learning motivation was 6.93 out of a maximum score of 12; memory was 4.61 out of a maximum score of 8; taking exams was 9.92 out of a maximum score of 20; and health was 3.23 out of a maximum score of 6. Conclusions. The overall score of the students’ study habits was moderate and the score for “taking exams” was the weakest. Consequently, bearing in mind that these areas of study are related to people’s health, it is probable that these students will have study habits that are better and higher than average; the Ministry of Health, Treatment and Medical Education of Iran should consider this point. Medical universities can assess their students’ study habits before they enroll in the university, and if necessary, improve these habits by performing some educational interventions, such as organizing training courses, and using mobile educational applications, etc.

– Study design, B – Data Collection, C – Statistical Analysis, D – Data Interpretation, E – Manuscript Preparation, F – literature – Background. depression is one of the most common psychiatric disorders in almost all countries and cultures. Stressing factors are also involved in the development of depression. Postpartum depression may lead to problems for the mother, infant and other family members. The value of children has a direct effect on fertility behaviors. Objectives. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between a child’s value and postpartum depression. Material and methods. In this cross-sectional study, 260 primiparous women were selected randomly in 2015–2016 in Bam, Iran, after eight weeks of childbirth. The Demographic Questionnaire, Nauck and Troomsdorff Questionnaire of Value of Children and Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Questionnaire were the completed. The collected data was analyzed by SPSS software version 18 and by using the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test, Pearson, Spearman correlation coefficient, Chi-square and regression analysis. The p -value was considered as less than 0.05. Results. There was no significant relationship between postpartum depression and the emotional dimension ( p = 0.513) of a child’s value, but there was a significant relationship between the social ( p = 0.012) and economic ( p = 0.001) dimensions of a child’s value. There was a significant relationship between postpartum depression and the mother’s education ( p = 0.046), economic situation ( p = 0.012), type of pregnancy ( p < 0.001) and delivery method ( p < 0.001). Conclusions. As to the finding, postpartum depression was influenced by the social and economic dimensions of a child’s value and demographic factors. By paying attention to these factors, we can implement proper interventions in order to promote personal and social health among women.

In children, fever is a symptom of a wide spectrum of diseases, ranging from common self-limiting viral upper respiratory tract infections to serious life-threatening diseases. The aim of the diagnostic procedure is to identify the cause of fever, determine indications for outpatient treatment, plan the appropriate pharmacological therapy or reveal the need for hospitalisation. Paracetamol and ibuprofen are antipyretics recommended for symptomatic treatment of children; however, the medications should not be used in combination or alternately, except in specific clinical situations. The drugs may be applied to treat fever and topical reactions after vaccination, but not prophylactically in order to reduce the incidence of fever or local discomfort after vaccination. Both medications can be used in patients with asthma, with the exception of intolerant children. Children with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 may be treated with paracetamol and ibuprofen in accordance with clinical indications and dosage recommendations.
