The experimental group 1 received a 10-minute inhalation and footbath with oil rose. The experimental group 2 received a 10-minute warm water footbath. Both interventions were applied at the onset of active and transitional phases. Control group, received routine care in labor. Anxiety was assessed using visual analogous scale (VASA) at onset of active and transitional phases before and after the intervention. Statistical comparison was performed using SPSS software version 16 and P < 0.05 was considered significant.Results:Anxiety scores in the intervention groups in active phase after intervention were significantly lower than the control group (P < 0.001). Anxiety scores before and after intervention in intervention groups in transitional phase was significantly lower than the control group (P < 0.001).Conclusions:Using aromatherapy and footbath reduces anxiety in active phase in nulliparous women.
There are various safe non-pharmacologic methods for labor pain management, which mostly decrees suffering of mother and some of them significantly decrease pain too.AimTo assess effect of pelvic tilt by birth ball, sacrum-perinea heat therapy and combination use of them on active phase of physiologic labor.MethodIn this randomized control trial, 120 primiparous volunteer with age 18-35 years, gestational age of 38–40 weeks, in one of hospitals of Iran university of medical sciences were randomly selected and divided in four groups: Pelvic tilt by using birth ball, sacrum perinea heat therapy, combined use of two mentioned methods and control group. Tools had 3 main parts of personal characteristic, client examination form and pain visual analogue scale (VAS). All ethical points were considered.ResultsEquality of four groups had been checked before intervention. Lowest pain score first belong to pelvic tilt by birth ball then combined group and finally in heat therapy, which all were significantly less than control group. Significant decrease of pain had been seen in birth ball group and combined group during after 30 minutes intervention, but in the heat therapy group, it was seen after 60 minutes intervention (P-value < 0.05).ConclusionAll three interventions of this study had significant effect and decreased labor pain during active phase, but highest decrease was in pelvic tilt by birth ball group and its effect started after 30 minutes intervention. It is suggested that that Obstetrics and Midwives consider these safe methods for labor pain management.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

) in Patra, Greece. Participants were asked to answer to a questionnaire.
Results:In total 60 parents and 60 pediatricians used the online system and 500 vaccinations were logged. We observed time-application errors and missed doses, mainly among children older than 2 years (27%). A considerable 17% of the participants did not have the essential vaccination card and 7% of them had lost it. Parents had a positive opinion (56) about the online system mainly based on the usability and high availability. On the other hand, health-care professionals considered that the electronic assistance in calculating dosage intervals and the logging capabilities of the system, that offers the possibility to extract and statistically analyze data, were the main advantages of the system (54).
Conclusion:The use of information technology may help parents to keep up with the immunization schedules, health-care professionals to calculate dosage intervals, provide them with a valuable data analysis tool and, contribute in the effective application of the national immunization policy.
