The current study was designed with the aim of determining the level of satisfaction of pre-hospital emergency operatives in using electronic registration and reporting forms. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 88 operatives of pre-hospital emergency room in Saveh city in 1402-1401. The samples were included in the study based on the inclusion criteria and by census. The data collection tool included a demographic information questionnaire and a researcher-made satisfaction questionnaire of electronic registration and reporting forms. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics and SPSS version 23 software. Results: The mean and standard deviation of the total satisfaction score of the samples with the electronic registration and reporting forms (Asayar program) were 81. 12 and 12. 46, respectively, which were significantly (p<0. 001) higher than the average. Among the dimensions of the questionnaire, the speed of recording information (3. 89±, 0. 65), ease of use (3. 89±, 0. 65), and comprehensiveness (3. 82±, 0. 76) respectively received the highest satisfaction scores.

Introduction: Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer diagnosed in women and one of the foremost factors behind the death of women worldwide. Hence, early diagnosis and intervention increase the probability of recovery and reduce the mortality rate. This study examined the effect of written exposure therapy and mindfulness-based stress reduction on managing pain and mental adjustment in women with breast cancer. Methods: Sixty females with breast cancer referred to the Shahid Rajaei Hospital in Babolsar, Iran were randomly assigned to one of the three WET (n = 20), MBSR (n = 20) or control (n = 20) groups. WET is a 5-session low-intensity exposure-based intervention for treating PTSD. MBSR is a systematic educational program during an 8-week period. The control group had no additional contact. Measures assessing managing pain and mental adjustment were administered at baseline, post-intervention, and 2-month follow-up. Results: Both the WET and MBSR groups achieved significant improvement in managing pain and mental adjustment with statistically significant differences between groups (P<0/001). However, no significant difference was reported between the effectiveness of the interventions used in the present study on pain management and adaptation to cancer in breast cancer patients (P>0/05). Conclusions: Both WET and MBSR appear to have beneficial effects in increasing pain management and psychological adjustment in breast cancer patients in Iran. Therefore, experts, researchers and therapists in this field can use these interventions as effective treatment options based on research evidence to improve the psychological functions of breast cancer patients along with their medical treatments and, accordingly, health indicators.

Introduction: The nursing profession is associated with difficult and stressful conditions and some psychological consequences. Also, one of the most important health potentials described in theoretical and research bases is the sense of coherence. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of perceived stress on psychological distress and psychological well-being with the mediating role of sense of coherence in nurses. Methods: The present study was a cross-sectional correlational study. The research community included all nurses working in hospitals and medical centers in Tehran.

The research tools are: Cohen Perceived Stress Scale (1983), Kessler's psychological distress questionnaire (2003), Ryff Psychological well-being scale (1989), Antonovsky’, s Sence of Coherence Scale (1993). Pearson correlation, structural equation modeling and SPSS and AMOS version 23 software were used for data analysis. Results: The results of the findings show the fit of the desired model. In addition, the obtained results indicate a direct, positive and significant effect between perceived stress and psychological distress (T=5. 556,P<0. 001,β, =0. 385). Also, there is a direct, negative and significant effect between perceived stress and psychological well-being (T=3. 407,P<0. 001,β, =0. 173). In addition, the sense of coherence played a mediating role in the relationship between perceived stress and psychological distress and psychological well-being.

Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed for data analysis. The data analysis tool used was SmartPLS version 3. 2. 8, based on the partial least squares (PLS) method. Results: The results obtained from the model analysis indicated that the hypotheses related to the impact of the quality of work life on Turnover Intention have an inverse effect (t = 3. 01, p =-0. 163). The Workplace Incivility has a direct effect on the Turnover Intention (t = 11. 99, p = 0. 583). Additionally, the moderating effect of the Workplace Incivility in the relationship between quality of work life and the Turnover Intention among nurses was confirmed (t= 6. 84, p=-0. 327). Conclusions: Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that the effects quality of work life and the Workplace Incivility on nurses' Turnover Intention are confirmed. Furthermore, the moderating the effect of the atmosphere moderator Workplace Incivility was also proven in the effect of the quality of work life on the Turnover Intention, that is, the more uncivil the work environment is, the effect of the low quality of work life on the increase of Turnover Intention is also greater.

Introduction: People with health anxiety have misconceptions and incorrect interpretations of health and excessive sensitivity to their physical symptoms. Therefore, the current research was conducted with the aim of predicting health anxiety based on metacognitive beliefs, Alexithymia and experiential avoidance in nurses. Methods: The method of this study was descriptive-correlation. The research community consisted of all nurses in the emergency department of hospitals and medical centers in Kermanshah. In this study, 180 people were selected through convenience sampling and answered the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire, Toronto Alexithymia Scale, Short Form of Health Anxiety Inventory and Metacognitions Questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient and multivariate regression analysis in SPSS-24 software. Results: The results showed that there was a positive and significant relationship between metacognitive beliefs, Alexithymia, and experiential avoidance with health anxiety in nurses (P<0. 01). The results of multivariate regression analysis also revealed that %76. 5 of the variance of nurses' health anxiety is explained by metacognitive beliefs, Alexithymia, and experiential avoidance. Conclusions: According to the results, it can be said that if people's evaluation of physical symptoms is problematic only when specific metacognitive beliefs are high, therapeutic interventions that target metacognitive beliefs instead of symptom evaluation may be more effective. Also, treatments based on acceptance and commitment and mentalization that lead to reduction of experiential avoidance and increase of mentalization capacity and subsequently reduction of health anxiety are suggested for nurses.
