Abstract
Background and Objective: Carpet industry is the most important handicrafts in rural areas of Iran. Iranian carpet weavers are exposed to the risk of carpet weaving diseases and the side effects. This study aimed at assessing the health behavior of Bandar Turkmen and Aqqala carpet weavers based on the HBM, 2013.
Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 200 female carpet weavers selected via census in Bandar Turkmen and Aqqala city, Golestan province. The data was collected by a Demographic checklist and HBM questionnaire and analyzed by using Pearson correlation coefficient, One-way ANOVA, post-hoc test and independent T test (&le0.05).
Results: the mean age was 35.63±11.64 years. The perceived susceptibility was significantly correlated with perceived threat and perceived benefits (P<0. 001). Preventive behavior related to carpet weaving job diseases was insufficient among majority of the participants (78%).
Conclusion: Given their high-perceived threat and perceived benefits regarding to diseases, carpet weavers less likely do preventive measures. Further research is needed considering interpersonal and enabling factors.

Abstract
Background: Breast milk is the most suitable nutrition for the neonates. Breast milk and breastfeeding duration can contribute to decreased mortality rate, intestinal bleeding, and various neonatal diseases (e.g., digestive and respiratory diseases). It can also reduce the risk of diabetes and obesity in childhood and adulthood. Therefore, the estimation of breastfeeding duration and recognition of the effective factors in this regard can lead to designing and implementing appropriate programs, which can provide the foundations for the modification of breastfeeding behavior.
Methods: This survival study was conducted on 501 mothers with healthy and single birth neonates born within March 21, 2011-September 21, 2012 with active medical records in Aqqala city, Golestan province, Iran, in the second half of 2014. The data were collected from the information registered at the archives of health centers by in-person visiting. In addition, some of the information was collected through phone contacts. The duration of breastfeeding was estimated in month. Data analysis was carried out using the Cox regression in the STATA software, version 11.
Results: According to the results, the mean and median of breastfeeding were 20.44 and 22 months, respectively. According to the Cox regression, maternal ethnicity, living with family, birth spacing, type of milk consumed along with complementary nutrition, and type of neonatal nutrition during the hospital stay of the infant had a significant relationship with the early cessation of breastfeeding.
Conclusion: Based on the findings of the present study and the identified factors affecting the breastfeeding duration, it seems necessary to provide the essential trainings for the young mothers and pregnant women to avoid of reducing the duration of breastfeeding. These educations can be included in the programs of the Health centers of the universities and urban and rural medical clinics.

Abstract
Background: Diagnostic thinking and clinical competence are the two main domains of efficient nursing care. This study assessed the association between diagnostic thinking and clinical competence among emergency nurses.
Methods: The present correlation study was conducted in 2020 on 113 nurses working in emergency departments in a northwestern province of Iran over two consecutive years. A stratified random sampling method was used for recruiting nurses. Data was gathered via a demographic questionnaire, the Diagnostic Thinking Inventory, and the Nurse Competence Scale and analyzed using the SPSS 18 software. Pearson's correlation assessed the association between the nurses' diagnostic thinking and clinical competence at a significance level of 0.05.
Results: According to the findings, the nurses’ diagnostic thinking abilities were poor (154.15 ±15.73, range of 150-155), while their clinical competence was good (61.62±18.97, range of 51-75). Significant correlations emerged between thinking flexibility, work role (r=0.22, p=0.017), and memory structure. In addition, thinking flexibility was significantly associated with work role (r=0.22, P=0.017), and memory structure was correlated with teaching-coaching function (r=0.22, P=0.015), diagnostic functions (r=0.25, P=0.006), management of situations (r=0.45, P=0.0001), therapeutic interventions (r=0.42, P=0.0001), regimens (r=0.18, P=0.056), and work role (r=0.4, P=0.0001).
Conclusion: Amplifying thinking procedures and using diagnostic thinking patterns enhance emergency nurses' practice, performance, and clinical competence and promote nursing care. Lecturers and planners must employ modern educational methods to increase nurses' thinking skills and clinical competence.
