BackgroundIn the pandemic of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) disease, various factors, such as workplace factors, and psychological variables, can affect the occupational status of nurses. This study aimed to assess the relationship between nurses’ professional quality of life, mindfulness, and hardiness during the outbreak of COVID-19.MethodsThis cross-sectional study included 239 nurses from two medical centers in Rafsanjan, Iran. Quota sampling was performed from August to November 2020. A demographic form, the Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQOL), the Freiburg Mindfulness Questionnaire-Short Form (FMI-SF), and the Occupational Hardiness Questionnaire (OHQ) were used to collect data.ResultsThe mean age of the participants was 33.20 ± 6.85 years. The majority of the participants were female, married, and employed. Compassion Satisfaction (CS), Secondary Traumatic Stress (STS), and Burnout (BO) were all moderate among nurses. Hardiness was the best predictor of compassion satisfaction. Mindfulness was the best predictor of both secondary traumatic stress and burnout. Psychological hardiness and mindfulness had the greatest impact on nurses’ quality of professional life during the COVID-19 pandemic.ConclusionCaring for COVID-19 patients may lead to BO, CF, and STS; identifying predictors of these can inform the development of interventions to mitigate or minimize BO, CF, and STS in nurses caring for these patients. Furthermore, in order to improve nurses’ quality of professional life, psychological hardiness, and mindfulness, necessary psychological programs and interventions should be designed and implemented.

Background: Patient rights are the duties that medical staffs are required to perform for patients from the time of admission. The increasing attention of organizations to this issue has led to the creation of a charter called the “Charter of Patient Rights”. Also, since children are a vulnerable group in society, these rights are more important to them. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the parents' satisfaction with the observance of patient rights charter for children admitted to children hospitals in Golestan province during 2018. Methods: This cross-sectional and descriptive study was performed on 350 children admitted to hospitals of Golestan province. Sampling was done by convenience method. The data collection tool was the questionnaire of patient rights charter for hospitalized children. Data were analyzed by SPSS-18 statistical software using descriptive (frequency, mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (independent t-test and analysis of variance). Results: The results showed that, the highest percentage of samples 73.4% (259 people) had moderate satisfaction and 26% of them (91 people) had high satisfaction with the observance of patient rights charter for children. The highest dissatisfaction was related to the laboratory tests and diagnostic procedures, so that only 68.3% of the samples (239 people) were satisfied with the response of staff and physicians and 11.1% of them (39 people) were dissatisfied with it. The highest level of satisfaction was related to the access to nurses during hospitalization, so that 86.9% of the samples (306 people) were satisfied and only 2.3% (8 people) were dissatisfied with it. Conclusion: The results showed that a large number of parents were moderately satisfied with the observance of patient rights charter for children by staff. Since the observance of “Patient Rights Charter”, in addition to the patient's satisfaction, shows the professionalism of medical staff, this charter must be implemented in the best way at all levels of health care and treatment. Key words: Parental Satisfaction, Patient Rights Charter

Background:The professional quality of life (ProQOL) and occupational burnout are two central factors related to nurses' job performance. Nurses' job performance might be affected by work stress and compassion. In the present study, the association of ProQOL of nurses with burnout, depression, anxiety, and stress was investigated. Materials and Methods:In this descriptive study, 282 nurses were invited to help with the survey. Demographics Scale, Maslach Burnout Questionnaire, Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21), and ProQOL Questionnaire were used to collect the data. Results: Most participants have an average degree of compassion satisfaction (CS) (63.2%) and compassion fatigue (CF) (57.1%). Also, most nurses had low scores for occupational burnout (39.3%). A significant negative correlation was found between CS with CF Scores (p < 0.001). Occupational burnout (p = 0.019), anxiety (p = 0.015), and depression (p < 0.008) Scores had a significant negative correlation with CS Scores. There was a significant correlation between the CF Scores and Scores of occupational burnout, anxiety, stress, and depression (p < 0.001). Conclusion:The CS, depression, and occupational burnout were important variables affecting the level of CF. Healthcare service leaders and nurse managers should make efforts promoting emotional wellbeing among nurses.

Introduction: This study we aimed to examine the effect ofExtended Parallel Process Model (EPPM) on thesexual self-control of female adolescents in Aliabad Kotoul in 2020.Methods: This experimental study with two intervention and control groups was conducted on 50 secondyearhigh school female students in Aliabad Katoul, who had been selected by simple random samplingmethod. In the intervention group, 8 training sessions (45-60 minutes each) were carried out in groups of 6-7people, based on the EPPM for 2 months. Data were collected in both groups before and after the intervention,and then were analyzed by SPSS-16 statistical software using descriptive and inferential statistics.Results: Independent t-test did not show a significant difference between the intervention and control groupsbefore the intervention (P = 14.14) in terms of the score of sexual self-control, but after the intervention, itshowed a significant difference (P <0.01) between the two groups. Also, ANCOVA test showed a significantdifference between the two groups by removing the pre-test effect (p <0.01, Eta = 0.64), so that the EPPMwasable to increase the sexual self-control of samples in the intervention group.Conclusion: Considering the effectiveness of EPPM, the results showed that if people understand thatthey are at high risk of disease or health problem, they will be more sensitive towards performing high-riskbehaviors. Therefore, increasing awareness and creating sensitivity can play an important role in controllingbehaviors.
