Methods: A qualitative design based on a conventional content analysis approach. Purposive sampling was applied to 19 women chosen, who had a Pap smear or refused to have one. The study was performed in the Kurdistan Region, Iraq. Semi-structure din-depth individual interviews were carried out to collect data. Results: Four main themes including conflict, belief, and awareness about cervical cancer screening and socio-cultural factors emerged during data analysis Conclusions: Cervical cancer has a high mortality rate in the developing countries. However, only a few Kurdish women participated in the cervical cancer screening in the Kurdistan Region, Iraq. Understanding the factors associated with the women’s perception of cervical cancer could guide future educational planning and clinical interventions improve the cervical cancer screening.

The aim of this study was exploring the challenges encountered by Iranian adolescent mothers during the transition to motherhood. Materials and methods: Inductive conventional content analysis approach was used in this qualitative study. Face to face in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with 16 Iranian teenage mothers in the Kerman province of Iran from March to December2016. Data collection continued until the point of data saturation and MAXQDA software was utilized in the analysis of the data. Results: Six main categories increasing burden of responsibility, experiencing physical problems, receiving insufficient support, inefficiency in maternal role, emotional and mental distress; and role conflict and 18 sub-categories were extracted from the data analysis. Conclusion: The findings of ...

The aim of this study is "to determine the relationship between sleep and the prevalence of delirium in patients undergoing cardiac surgery". This analytical-descriptive study was conducted on patients undergoing cardiac surgery in educational hospital affiliated to Medical Sciences University of Tehran in 2014. 44 patients were studied by available method. The incidence of delirium in patients was assessed twice daily on the second to fifth day after surgery through the CAM-ICU scale (Confusion Assessment Method -ICU).Also sleep of patients on the second day after surgery was assessed using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality scale. Data were analyzed using statistical tests of Chi-square, Mann-Whitney and Fisher's exact test under16 SPSS software. There is a significant relationship between demographic characteristics and the prevalence of delirium. (...

To prepare the CTC-YS for administration in Iran, it was translated from English to Persian and back translated to English. A total of 753 Iranian adolescents aged 15-18 years old filled out a CTC-YS questionnaire. Its reliability for Iranian youth was assessed using Cronbach's alpha coefficient and its construct validity was assessed using confirmatory factor analysis. After removing two items from individual/peer and community domains, a suitable internal reliability was found among items of the 29 sub-scales (0.66-0.89). The findings of construct validity suggest that existing measures of risk and protective factors have good construct validity. The validity and reliability of CTC-YS showed that this questionnaire has appropriate psychometric characteristics and can be made available to researchers in Iranian adolescent health as an appropr...

In this regard, the keywords "creativity" and "nursing care" were searched through PubMed, Ovid, Scopus, EMBASE, Google Scholar, SID, and Web of Science between the years 2000 and 2018 along with hand searching of reference lists extracted from more than 342 articles. Finally, 37 articles that had inclusion criteria were examined based on the eight stages mentioned in Walker and Avant's concept analysis approach. Results revealed that creativity in nursing care includes fluidity of mind and the creation and acceptance of new ideas for patient care in such a way that the new methods are simple, useful, efficient, affordable, and safe. This requires a creative vision, creative sensitivity, and creative thinking. If there is a supportive environment, motivation, sensitivity, and divergent thinking skills, individuals can demonstrate their creativity. This may result in successful decision-making in the clinical setting and therefore contribute to increasing the organization's effectiveness and the quality of care. All nurses can act as agents encouraging change by the use of creativity to improve the quality of care. It is an educational guide for future nurses to implement creativity in practice. Also, this finding can be used for future research and the development of specific tools. Finally, it is suggested to consider creativity in the other aspects of clinical practice as well.
