Abstract
Background and Objective: Mechanical ventilation is used for some infants in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) due to many physiological and clinical causes. The practice of endotracheal suctioning of ventilator- treated patients is necessary to remove secretions to prevent obstruction of the endotracheal tube and lower airways. This study aimed at determining the effect of open and closed suctioning methods on cardio-respiratory parameters of infants undergoing mechanical ventilation.
Material and Methods: In this clinical trail, forty-four infants underwent mechanical ventilation in NICU were selected by simple continuous sampling. The samples were randomly divided into two groups. In the first group: first, open suctioning and then after three hours of cleaning, closed suctioning was performed. In the second group, first closed suctioning and after three hours of cleaning, open suctioning was implemented. Respiratory rate (RR), oxygen saturation, pulse rate and blood pressure were assessed before ( in three, two and one minutes ) , during and after ( in one , two and three minutes ) each type of suctioning. The Data was analyzed by Software SPSS-16 using ANOVA with repeated measures and independent t-test.
Results: There was a significant difference between mean respiratory rate and oxygen saturation in infants during and after the closed and open suctioning (p<0.05). Oxygen saturation had a significant reduction in open method compared to closed method during and immediately after suctioning. Respiratory rate had a significant reduction in 3 minutes after open suctioning in both steps. The mean of diastolic pressure in second step of open method and in both steps of closed method was significant (p<0.05). There was a significant difference between the mean pulse rate in different times of open suctioning in the first step (p<0.05), Pulse rate drop significantly was lower in closed suction than open one (p<0.05).
Conclusion: because of little changes caused by closed suctioning in hemodynamic condition, it is recommended using the closed suctioning to prevent from respiratory complications and pulse rate dropping in infants.

Abstract
Background and Objective: After coronary artery bypass surgery, pulmonary complications and oxygenation disorders are common, which have an important role in disablement and mortality. Different methods are used for improvement of pulmonary function and oxygenation. In this study we aimed at evaluating the effect of deep breathing exercise on arterial blood gases after CABG.
Material and methods: This clinical trial was conducted on fifty patients who had CABG in Chamran hospital and Sina heart center of Isfahan, 2012. The patients were randomly located in groups of intervention and control. The intervention was the use of deep breathing exercises initiated after extubation while just the routine breathing exercises were used for control group. Arterial blood gases of all patients were measured before surgery, after extubation, second and the third postoperative days, and analyzed by independent t test.
Results: the arterial blood gases measured in before surgery, after extubation, first and second days were the same in intervention and control groups. In the third postoperative day, there was a significant difference in the mean of arterial blood oxygen (81.3±4.6 vs. 72.7±7.1 respectively, p=0.01), arterial blood carbon dioxide (37 ±1.9 vs. 43.7±3.2 respectively, p >0.001) and oxygen saturation (96.8±1/4 vs. 90.5±2.1 respectively, p >0.001).
Conclusion : in terms of the results, the deep breathing exercise is significantly more effective in improvement of blood arterial gases parameters.

Abstract
Background and Objective: Coma due to brain injury is an important complication resulting in unconsciousness and reducing the capacity of responding to the environment. This study aimed at examining the effect of organized voice auditory stimulation, which was performed by a nurse, on the length of coma in the patients suffering from head injury.
Material and Methods: This clinical-trial study was applied on 40 patients in the critical care unit of Panje Azar Hospital. The patients were randomly recruited to one of the two groups (each group 20 patients). The intervention group was stimulated by the voice of a male nurse. Hearing stimulation was conducted in the morning and night shift about 15 minutes each time for 10 days. The patient consciousness was measured by GCS scale and analyzed by ANOVA and t-test (P<0.05), using SPSS Soft ware.
Results: The average age of intervention and control group was 28.20 ± 11.49 and 27.8 ± 13.22, respectively. Before stimulation in the first day, there is no significant difference between the GCS of intervention group (5.95 ±0.68) and that of control (5.95 ± 0.64). The results indicate that the intervention group has become consciousness from the 5th day (GCS of 8.25 ± 1.19) and control group (GCS of 7.80 ± 1.96) from the 10th day.
Conclusion: The study show that the auditory stimulation in the intervention group compared to control group gives rise to the improvement of the level of consciousness in comatose patients .

Abstract
Background and Objective: This study aimed to assess nurses' attitude toward the effect of nursing electronic reports on patient care.
Material and Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 316 nurses in the hospitals affiliated to Semnan University of Medical Sciences and social security organization, 2012. The instrument was a researcher-made questionnaire, valid and reliable. The data was analyzed by Chi Square, Fisher and Phi test.
Results: Forty-seven five point percent of the nurses completely disagreed with the impact of electronic reporting on patient assessment (1.8± 1.06) and 54.4% completely disagreed with its impact on the selection of clinical intervention (1.8 ± 1.06). On the other hand , 50% of nurses agreed with the effect of the computer program on patient care (2.2±0.99), 42.4% were satisfied with its effect on patient's diet planning (2.1±1.5) and 40.7% with the computer program on nursing diagnosis (2.01±1.09).There was significant relationship between some of the nurses’ demographic characteristics and their attitude (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Based on the results, nurses’ attitudes can be attributed to some defects in the computer programs and to the nurses’ compliance with information technology. To improve the effectiveness of electronic reporting, first, the quality of computer programs of clinical settings should be enhanced, and then changes should be occurred in organizational policies and in electronic documentation. Further, we should consider the impact of Levine's theory of change, indicating the staff’s resistance to technology adoption in workplace.

Abstract
Background and Objective: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide. Thus, we aimed to determine the effect of stress inoculation group training on the hope and quality of life in women with breast cancer.
Material and Methods: This experimental study was conducted on 60 randomly selected women in chemotherapy ward of Razi hospital in Rasht, 2011. The instruments were Schneider hope and quality of life (SF-36) questionnaires. Of 60, 30 eligible patients were randomly divided into control group with no training and experimental group with stress inoculation training.
Results: Before intervention, the two groups were matched with demographic variables, hope and quality of life score. The results showed that the stress inoculation group training is effective both on hope and quality of life. Furthermore, the effect of this approach on quality of life was more than hope score (P=0.001).
Conclusion: Stress inoculation group training is highly effective in improving the hope and quality of life in women with breast cancer. To be sure about its permanent effect, further research with follow-up period is needed.

Abstract
Background and Objective: Breastfeeding has contraceptive, behavioral, hormonal and metabolic positive outcomes, and it can affect on maternal blood pressure, hypotension and hypertension. We aimed to assess the impact of breastfeeding on maternal brachial artery pulse pressure in the women with natural labour and those with a history of preeclampsia.
Material and Methods: The participants were 34 women with natural pregnancy (group I) and 18 with the history of preclampsia (group II). Mother’s blood pressure was recorded 3 times simultaneously from right and left brachial artery in supine position. The repeated measure ANOVA was used for statistical analysis.
Results: There was no significant change in pulse pressure ( PP) with respect to time between two groups. This condition was similar in right and left side. In either sides, significant difference was observed for systolic, diastolic or PP values between two groups. A uniform trend including an increase of blood pressure at 5 minutes and a decrease after 30 minutes was also observed.
Conclusion: The brachial PP is abnormally higher in mothers with preeclampsia. Similarly in both sides, breastfeeding leads to systolic and diastolic changes but that is not the case for PP.

Abstract
Background and Objective: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disorders. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of OSA in myocardial infarction patients in the CCU of Karaj Hospitals, 2009.
Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted , via convenience sampling , on 140 acute myocardial infarction patients in two cardiac care units of Shariati and Rajaei hospital in Karaj, 2009. We assessed demographic data, history of cardiovascular risk factors, STOP-Bang questionnaire through interview, information related to the type of myocardial infarction and laboratory parameters from medical records, and also we measured anthropometric indices with balance scale and meter tap.
Results: Mean score of STOP-BANG questionnaire was 4.9 ± 1.2 in the range of 2 to 8 points and in 64% of the participants was higher than 4 points. The Score of STOP-BANG questionnaire was statistically significant considering age, smoking, hypertension, dyslipidemia, extensive infarction, BMI, waist-to-height ratio, Waist to Hip Ratio, Waist Circumference, neck circumference, cholesterol and left ventricular ejection fraction (P=0.001), sex (P=0.044), Diabetes(P=0.019), inferior infarction (P=0.006), anterior wall (P=0.048) and triglyceride levels (P=0.031).
Conclusion: OSA is common among patients with myocardial infarction and is associated with anthropometric indices, cardiovascular risk factors, the location of infarction and left ventricular ejection fraction. Thus, Screening, evaluating the symptoms of OSA and referring for counseling and treatment is necessary.
