Nurses annual evaluation score mean obtained using independent t-test by considering their gender (p=0.31) marital status (P=0.17), educational degree (p=0.44) wasn’t significant. Further more, ANOVA test didn’t show any significant difference between nurses annual performance evaluation scare in fourfold age groups and fourfold groups of service yours (P=0.59). ANOVA test also showed that servant leadership style had great effect on the nurses performance (P=0.01).

Introduce: In Iran the First Case of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) was reported in 1987. This was followed by a rapid increase in the number of cases.There are several factors that contribute to the higher risk of HIV infection among young people e.g. first sexual experiences, the higher ratio of sexually transmitted diseases, addiction that begins usually at this age, and so on. We intended to assess the knowledge of Aids among mazandaran Azad University s, Students in Iran and produce suitable prevention.Materials and Methods: Eight hundred and seventy students of the Mazandaran Azad University Completed a 52-item questionnaire. The Subjects were selected through different stages with final randomization. The validity and reliability of the tool were determined by content validity and test– retest method respectively.Results: The mean age of the respondents was 21.5 years however 49.5% of them were below 20 years.96.1% Were aware of AIDS but 82.5% of students expressed a wish to know more about HIV.AIDS. "Television and books" Were the main sources of information by the participants. Female sex, Course of study age of groups, though statistically significant (p<0.05) were maximally associated with students, Knowledge about HIV/AIDS. Against to a question about the best way of fighting AIDS, 90% of the students believed that investment on youth education is the best method.Conclusion: Although this survey showed the knowledge level seems to be moderately high but we believe that there is a need to change and to promote the present notification and education methods for ADIS.

Introduction: Exercise induced proteinuria is more related to the intensity and exercise mode than to the duration. Limited studies about the concomitant effect of exercise mode and sub-maximal intensity on the rate of urea protein excretion are available.Methods: Ten young active males performed the training protocol in three different exercise modes (elliptical, running on treadmill and cycle-ergometer) conducted at two sub-maximal intensities (70% and 80% of maximal heart rate) on separate days. The rate of albumin (Alb), total protein, creatinine, and β2microglubolin (b2-m) excretion prior to and after exercise were measured.Results: No significant difference on the rate of urine protein excretion was observed following the three exercise models at two different intensities (P³0.05).Only creatinine following elliptical at intensity of 85% maximal heart rate did show significant difference (P £0.05).Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, it is concluded that the different exercise modes at sub-maximal intensities have insignificant effect on the athletic proteinuria and are not stimuli for the effective factors on the athletic proteinuria.

Introduction: The environment for clinical education is a place to educate, train and improve nursing students' clinical skills in order to enter the business community that is hospital, studies have shown that students' perceptions of clinical learning environment are different and incongruent with what they encounter with in reality and they are looking for such learning environments which can yield to better results and is the most favorable condition.

The results of the research have shown that there is a difference between the effectiveness of flooding technique and confrontation technique with response inhabitation on the reduction of the severity of the signs of ablutomania in patients having O.C.D. Also the confrontation technique with response inhabitation is more effective on the reduction of the severity of the obsessive signs than the flooding technique.
