Abstract
Background and Objective: Nurses and nursing students, as a member of psychiatric team, have not enough incentive for caring mental disorders. Because of some negative stereotypic beliefs and anxiety, they neglect some aspects of psychiatric care. We decided to study on nursing students’ anxiety in facing with mentally ill patients.
Material and Methods: In this descriptive study, 64 nursing students of Golestan University of Medical Sciences were selected via convenience sampling. The instruments were demographic information data sheet and interpersonal anxiety scale. We used Descriptive statistics, Spearman correlation coefficient, Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests to analyze the data (spss 16).
Results: The students aged 43.20±5.1 were female (56.8%) and male (43.20%). Anxiety level in 17.9% of participants were severe and in 48.1% of them moderate (P<0.05). There is significant difference between male and female’s anxiety. Students with clinical experience of being in psychiatric ward have the lower level of anxiety (P<0.05).
Conclusion: The Student’s anxiety in facing with mentally ill patients is considerable and we should alleviate this anxiety by some programmed actions such as frequently presenting in psychiatric wards and by special education.

Abstract
Background and Objective: Mother’s satisfaction of childbirth is considered as an important criterion of maternal care quality and it has an effect on mental health of family and community, and Mother's mood is significant in the outcome of labor. The parturient supported by significant others has less anxiety, experience of safe childbirth and adequate satisfaction . Thus, we aimed at assessing the effect of the presence of an attendant on satisfaction, anxiety and labor pain of primiparae referring to Hajar Hospital in Shahre Kurd, 2010.
Material and Methods: This pre-experimental study was conducted on 60 primiparous women, referring to Hajar Hospital in Shahre Kurd (2010), who were divided into equal experimental and control groups. The parturients of both groups received common cares, while those of experimental group were allowed to be with an attendant. Using a check list, we assessed the level of anxiety, labor pain, newborn's first- minute apgar , the onset of breastfeeding and childbirth satisfaction from beginning to end of labor, and analyzed the data by SPSS-16 software, using t-tests and Chi-square.
Results: Our findings show that the support given by an attendant during childbirth significantly decrease the level of anxiety, early start of breastfeeding and increased mother's satisfaction of childbirth(p<0/05). There is no significant difference between two groups on length of active phase, duration of second phase of childbirth and apgar of the first minute.
Conclusion: According to results, we conclude that being an attendant near parturient can bring about childbirth satisfaction , decreased anxiety, and early start of breastfeeding.

Material and Methods: This blinded- randomized- controlled clinical trial was carried out on 90 patients divided into two groups of intervention and control. the patients of intervention group were asked to inhale two drops of lavender essential oil and those of control group two drops of distilled water poured on a gauze , for 20 minutes. In addition to measuring patients’ anxiety level by Spielberger questionnaire, we recorded their vital signs. Using SPSS 16 software, the data was described via mean, standard deviation and percent, and analyzed by using independent t-test, paired t-test, Chi Square and Covariance (0.05).

Anxiety score in intervention group was significantly decreased from 56.37±5.6 to 54.73±5.42 and in control group meaningfully reduced from 55.18±7.35 to 54.0±7.22 (p<0.05). The mean anxiety score in the intervention group was significantly higher than that of control group (p<0.05).

Material and Methods: This descriptive-analytic study was conducted on 58 eligible, randomly selected patients of 165 hemodialysis patients referred to Panje Azar Hospital in Gorgan. The instruments were a demographic checklist, Fatigue Severity Scale, Beck Anxiety Inventory, and the Beck Depression Inventory. The data was analyzed by SPSS 17 software using Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis, Spearman's correlation coefficient and linear regression.

Twenty-six of the participants (44.8%) expressed that they suffer from moderate anxiety, 17 (29.3%) from severe depression and 43 (74.1%) from poor quality of sleep. The relationship between fatigue and anxiety (P = 0.006, r = 0.353) and depression (P≤.001, r=0.525) was directly significant whereas the relationship is not significant for sleep quality.
Conclusion: Given the high prevalence of fatigue in hemodialysis patients and the impact of multiple factors, we strongly recommend that care providers should consider these factors to improve patients’ quality of life.

Abstract
Background and Objective: Psychological hardiness has a relationship with various aspects of physical, psychological and social health of people, and it seems that high level of that may lead to a decrease in death anxiety and an increase in life quality in nurses. Hence, we aimed to determine the relationship of psychological hardiness and quality of life with death anxiety in nurses.
Material and Methods: This correlational study was conducted on 273 nurses selected via simple random sampling in both state and private hospitals of Gorgan, Iran, in 2013. The instruments were psychological hardiness, quality of life and death anxiety questionnaires. To analyze data, we used Pierson correlation coefficient and multiple linear regressions.
Results: There was significant relationship between psychological hardiness and death anxiety (r=-0.220, p<0.001) between quality of life and death anxiety (r=-0.227, p<0.001). Based on concurrent multiple linear regression, only psychological hardiness and social performance (one of the sub-scales of quality of life) had a meaningful relationship with the death anxiety.
Conclusion: It seems that high psychological hardiness may lead to decreased death anxiety and increased quality of life in nurses.

Background and Objective: Diabetes may lead to several chronic complications but less was studied about anxiety disorders. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the association between anxiety disorders and the quality of life (QOL) in diabetic type two (DMT2) patients.
Material and Methods: This descriptive- analytic study was conducted on 330 DMT2 patients referring to panje Azar hospital in Gorgan, Iran. The Data was collected via systematic sampling in six months using demographic checklist, Beck Anxiety Inventory & WHO QOL-BREF questionnaire , and analyzed by Chi square test and Pearson correlation coefficient (P ≤0.05).
Results: The participants were both males (35.45%) and females ( 64.54%) . The overall quality of life was reported unsatisfactory in 37.3%, satisfactory in 55.5% and highly favorable in 5.5 % of the participants. There was an inverse correlation between QOL and anxiety disorders (P ≤0.001), and the only variable having significant correlation with QOL was previous coexisting disorders (P≤0.005) .

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.
