Introduction: Nurses are one of the main pillars of health organizations that spend a significant part of their lives in close contact with patients and their job performance has a major impact on patient satisfaction and health. the current study was conducted in order to investigate the role of sleep quality, morningness-eveningness and sensory processing in predicting the nurses job performance. Methods: The study method was cross-sectional as descriptive-correlational study. The statistical population of the study consisted of all nurses working in public hospitals in Kermanshah, in 2019, among whom 120 were selected through available sampling. Data were collected using four questionnaires: Pittsburgh sleep quality questionnaire, Brown and Dunn sensory profile, Paterson job performance and Horne and Ostberg morningness-eveningness questionnaires. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and simultaneous multiple regression tests by SPSS software, version 24. Results: The results showed that nurses' job performance was positively correlated with sensory sensitivity variables and morningness-eveningness personality and negatively associated with low registration and sleep quality (P<0. 01). But job performance has no significant relationship with sensory-seeking and sensory avoidance (P>0. 05). The results of multiple regression also showed that 61% of the total job performance variance is explained by sensory processing sensitivity, morningness-eveningness personality and sleep quality (P<0. 001). Conclusions: According to the results of the study, the variables of sleep quality, morningness-eveningness personality, sensory sensitivity and low registration could significantly predict job performance. Basing the results of this study, selecting work shifts of nurses based on circadian preference, offering necessary training to improve sleep quality and psychotherapies focused on changing sensory processing aimed to increase sensory sensitivity and registration ware suggested to improve job performance of nurses.

Introduction: Physical and psychological problems in patients with neurogenic bladder using intermittent catheterization affect all areas of their life in a way that leads to a decline in their quality of life and self-confidence.

The intervention group received 8 2-hour training sessions on adaptation skills by two psychotherapists and a nurse working in the urology department, and the control group received routine training. The research tools were the personal profile questionnaires, Eiseng's self-confidence, and women's quality of life for urinary incontinence women. Data analyzed by descriptive tests (mean and standard deviation) and analytical (pairwise and independent, Chi-square, Man Whitney) in SPSS-18 software. Results: The findings showed that in the pre-test stage, there wasn't significant difference between intervention and control groups in terms of self-esteem and quality of life (P> 0. 05), but in the post test between them there was significant difference in terms(P <0. 001). However, the mean scores of self-esteem and quality of life in the control group were not significantly different in two stages (P> 0. 05). In other words, adaptability training increased the self-esteem and quality of life of patients with neurogenic bladder (P<0/001).

Also, cognitive emotion regulation strategies, health hardiness and death anxiety could explain 38/8 percent of Corona anxiety changes in diabetic patients, which the share of death anxiety was higher than other variables (P<0/01). Conclusions: Regarded to the results, for reduce Corona anxiety of diabetic patients can designed programs to increase their positive cognitive emotion regulation strategies and health hardiness and decrease their negative cognitive emotion regulation strategies and death anxiety and implemented through electronic and virtual workshop.

Introduction: Burns are one of the most destructive injuries and one of the most common psychological problems in patients affected by burns is pain anxiety. The most common treatment for burn problems is medication and drug therapy, but recently emerging therapies such as 3D virtual reality have been used to reduce the severity and anxiety of pain. the purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of drug therapy and virtual reality on pain anxiety and pain severity in burn patients of Imam Musa Center in Isfahan.

According to Rodgers' approach, 20% of the sources were included in the research. The Alternative words, attribute, antecedents and consequence were explained and conceptualized. Results: The terms ability (42. 85%), adequacy (4. 76%), preparation (14. 28%), skill (61. 90%) and competency (4. 76%) were used as substitution for clinical competency. 2 categories of general and specific traits were defined. Antecedents were individual, environmental and organizational factors. Consequences of Clinical competency of psychiatric nurses are enhancement of health services quality, decreased medical mistakes, increased safety, decreased costs and enhanced nursing profession. Conclusions: Psychiatric nursing clinical competency is careful and continuous incorporation of therapeutic communication with, professional skills, specialized knowledge and clinical reasoning, emotions and values appropriate to context for psychiatric nursing interventions that, individual, environmental, organization are influential factors. Definition of clinical competency leads to have practical indicators for objective evaluating, formation of a framework for training based on index, and the basis for providing the competency license. The re-analysis of the concept by hybrid method is needed.
