One of the most important goals of the health system in this pandemic was to provide a home care for the high-risk neonates. The aim of this study was to audit a high-risk neonate home care program during the COVID-19 pandemic. This descriptive-analytical study was conducted with the participation of 158 high-risk neonates discharged from neonatal intensive care units of hospitals. Data collection was performed through questionnaire and a researcher-made checklist. The researcher observed and evaluated 7 areas of healthcare. The study was first performed in person, but after the COVID-19 pandemic, the researcher evaluated these cares in absentia. The results of the study showed that the mean score of in-person “conduction” was 56.7 and in-absentia conduction was 52.5 and the mean score of in-person “education” was 63.6 and in-absentia conduction was 65.6. The results showed that there was no significant difference between the in-person and in-absentia methods. Moreover, while 53.2% of caregivers performed well, 33.5% of them performed poorly. According to the results, the implementation of home care program for high-risk neonates is relatively desirable. However, some regular evaluation and review need to be conducted on instructions and implementations. Regular education of caregivers and, finally, regular in-person and in-absentia monitoring is essential. In-absentia home care during the COVID-19 pandemic was not an obstacle to the implementation of the program and it was implemented through telephone and follow-up.
Cannabis sativa L., commonly known as marijuana, is an annual dioecious herb from eastern Asia belonging to the family Cannabaceae (Russo, 2007). Cannabis is a remarkable medicinal herb containing many valuable natural components such as cannabinoids, terpenes, phenolics, carotenoids, alkaloids, and amino acids (Andre et al., 2016;Elsohly, 2007). Cannabis has been used for medicinal purposes, for treating pain, spasms, asthma, insomnia, depression, and loss of appetite, in many cultures for hundreds of years (Fattore, 2015).Cannabinoids are the most important chemical compounds found in the C. sativa species, including Δ 9 -tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ 9 -THC), cannabidiol (CBD), cannabinol (CBN), cannabigerol (CBG), and cannabichromene (CBC) (Elsohly, 2007). The amount and different types of produced cannabinoid compounds determine the class of Cannabis species (medicinal-type or fiber-type). Several previous
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
