Abstract
Background and Objective: Back pain is one of the most common and most costly occupational injuries. Due to the nature of nursing career, low- back pain is highly prevalent in nurses. The aim of this study was to survey the prevalence of low-back pain and its correlation with nurses’ demographic characteristics and occupational factors in hospitals of Isfahan, Iran.
Material and Methods: This descriptive- co relational study was conducted on 244 out of 260 nurses selected via stratified random sampling. Using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Oswestry Functional Disability Questionnaire (ODQ), the Pain and functional disability variables were measured, respectively. To analyze the data, we used independent t-test and correlation coefficient-(p<0.05).
Results: The findings showed that 55% of the nurses have different intensity of low back pain (LBP). The LBP and monthly working hours (r=0.55), LBP and functional disability (r=0.53), LBP and age(r =0.30), and LBP and record of services (0.29) were significantly correlated, But it was not the case for LBP and gender.
Conclusion: Based on the findings that about 55% of the nurses suffer from low- back pain, it seems that a comprehensive change in life style and physical activity pattern of the nurses are paramount importance.

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.

Students are considered as the community builders, and thus paying attention to their psychological dimensions is a paramount importance to health of community. This study aimed at determining the relationship of self–efficacy and mental health with academic achievement of students in Bam nursing school.
Material and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted on all students with eligibility criteria in 2011. The instruments were General Self–Efficacy Scale (GSES), Symptom Checklist-25 (SCL-25) and Grade Point Average (GPA) for academic achievement. To analyze the data, we used Ttest, ANOVA and Pearson correlation.
Results: The level of self-efficacy was weak in 3.6 %, moderate in 84.8 % and strong in 11.5% of students. Regarding mental health aspects, the highest score was related to psychotism and depression (4.21) and the lowest to Obsessive-compulsive (3.43). The mental health of students with strong self-efficacy was higher than that of others. GPA was not correlated significantly with self-efficacy (p=0.44, r=0.062) and mental health status (p=0.96, r=0.044).

Abstract
Background and Objective: Nursing students are experiencing stress in related to academic and clinical training programs. Given the importance of promoting mental health and emotional intelligence in academic performance, the study of emotional intelligence and related factors could be the basis for strengthening this important variable by designing and implementing of effective training programs.
Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 125 nursing & midwifery students selected randomly in 2013. The instruments were a demographic checklist and Shyryng Sybrya Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire. The data was analyzed in SPSS16 using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and ANOVA, T- TEST (p&le 0.05).
Results: The mean of emotional intelligence was 109.12±12.27 in nursing and 113.32±13.26 in midwifery students. The total score and the score of all dimensions of Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire were not related significantly with some demographic factors such as age, residential place, interest to major and economic status (P>0.05), in both nursing and midwifery students. In nursing students, the meaningful relation was found just between Self-awareness dimension and gender (P=0.034) and grade point average (GPA) (P=0.049). The score of Self-awareness was higher in female students and in the students with higher GPA.
Conclusion: Regarding the relationship between some demographics and emotional intelligence, we can design and implement effective educational programs to boost this important component.

Abstract
Background and Objective: Anxiety is the most common psychological reaction of the families of the patients in cardiac surgery intensive care unit (CSICU). Since nursing consultation is an approach to controlling anxiety, we aimed to determine its effect on anxiety of the patients' families in CSICU.
Material and Methods: This clinical trial was conducted on fifty-four family members, of the patients in CSICU of a hospital in Kurdkoy, Iran, allocated into intervention and control groups. For intervention group, nursing consultation program was carried out from admission to discharge while for control group just routine was performed. The data was collected via a demographic checklist and state- anxiety Spielberger inventory, and analyzed by chi-square, independent and paired t-tests.
Results: The results showed that the two groups had similar demographic characteristics. Using independent t-test, their anxiety levels were not significantly different before intervention while they were after intervention. This means that nursing counseling was effective in reducing family's anxiety level (P<0.001). Based on paired t test, there was a significant difference between before and after anxiety in case group (P<0.01) but in control group the difference was not significant (p>0.01).
Conclusion: Nursing consultation can be helpful in mitigating in family's anxiety in cardiac Surgery intensive care unit.
