Abstract
Background and Objective : After suffering from some diseases,car accident is the most common cause of mortality in Iran.Using safety seat belt has a considerable role in reducing the injuries. This study has been established for comparing the trend of safety belt use from 2007to 2010 in Golestan province.
Material and Methods: This population-based cross-sectional study was carried out on 3999 subjects aged 15-65,during four years,in 11 urban and rural public health centers.They were selected by stratified and cluster sampling. Interviewers recorded the data using a all of them filled demographic data sheet,and were asked whether they asked seat belt or not.We used Chi-2 test to compare the frequencies and regression logistic to estimate seat belt use odds ratio.
Results: The rate of seat belt use in the years of 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 were 71%, 69.8%, 74.5 and 86.4%, respectively.The difference is signficant(P<0.01) safety belt use during the four years increases by 15.4%. This increase in urban area is 19% while in rural area is 14.9%. In under 35-year-old group,the increase is 17.85% and in over 35 is 14.3% .In 2010,using seat belt in men was more than women, by 14.8%.
Conclusion: Using safety belt increased by 3.85% for each year.It,s use in urban higher that rural are,and in institutionalization to use the safety belt and a growing trend to use clear men more them women was reported.Interalization horizon in the province in reducing mortality from accidents will open of using seat belt and it,s increasing use is considerable in this Province.

Abstract
Background and Objective : Academic achievement is associated with the knowledge and application of effective study skills. The aim of the current study was to investigate the study skills of nursing and midwifery students of Golestan University of Medical Sciences.
Material and Methods : In this descriptive study, 211 students were recruited through census in 2008-2009 academic years. The data was collected by using Cangas Study Skills Inventory (CSSI).Reading ability, note-taking, memory enhancement, readiness to exam , concentration and time managements were the subscales surveyed. the data derived from the instrument was analyzed by statistical tests, using SPSS software.
Results: The mean standard deviation is 2.47±0.40 of four. The reported study skills are weak (43.6%), moderate (53.6%) and sufficient (2.8%).The study skills of female students is significantly higher than males (p=0.017) and freshmen’s Study skills is better than that others (p<0.0001).
Conclusion: The study skills of the majority of students are not sufficient. It seems that studying in university could not improve study skills and it is a necessity for the students to pass study skills workshop or even a course as a part of university curriculum.

Abstract
Background and objective : Low blood pressure and Muscle cramps are common complications of Hemodialysis. One approach that has recently been proposed to prevent this complication is the combination of sodium and ultrafiltration. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of of sodium and ultrafiltration profile on some of the common complications during Hemodialysis.
Material and Methods: In this crossover clinical trial study, 22 Hemodialysis patients referred to Panje-Azar Hospital in 2012 were divided randomly into two groups. For each group, two treatment protocols were conducted, six hemodialysis sessions. The intervention protocol was a linear sodium dialysate and linear ultrafiltration. In routine Protocol, both sodium dialysate and ultrafiltration were considered constant. Using chi-square test and relative risk, the data was analyzed (P<0.05).
Results: The mean age is 54.73 ± 11.21 year and 59.1% of them are females. The incidence of hypotension and muscle cramps in the experimental protocol procedure is significantly decreased compared with that of control group (P<0.05), but the incidence of headache and vomiting is not significant (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Because sodium and ultrafiltration profile is simple and cost-free and reduces the incidence of complications during dialysis, we recommend using sodium and UF profile instead of routine one.

Abstract
Background and objective: Hypotension and Muscle cramp are the common complications of Hemodialysis. One approach that has recently been proposed to prevent this complication is the change in the concentration of sodium and ultrafiltration. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of sodium dialysate variation and ultrafiltration in preventing hypotension and muscle cramp during hemodialysis process.
Material and Methods: In this clinical trial study, 44 Hemodialysis patients were divided randomly into four groups. For each group, four treatment protocols (six-session Hemodialysis) were conducted. Protocol A: Sodium dialysate and ultrafiltration were constant. Protocol II: sodium was linear and ultrafiltration was constant. Protocol III: Sodium and ultrafiltration were linear. Protocol IV (routine): Sodium and ultrafiltration were constant. Using Chi-Square and relative risk, the data was analyzed (P<0.05).
Results: The incidence of hypotension, at the end of the fourth hour of dialysis in Protocol 3, was significantly decreased compared to that of routine method (P<0.05), while at the end of first, second and third hour, this difference was not significant. Muscle cramp in the routine method was more than other protocols (P=0.034). The relative risk of muscle cramp in the routine method was 2.08 times of protocol I, 1.09 of Protocol II, 2.08 of protocol III.
Conclusion: Sodium and ultrafiltration profile is simple and cost-free, and it reduces the incidence of hypotension and muscle cramp during dialysis. Thus, we recommend using sodium and UF profile instead of routine protocol to reduce these effects.

Abstract
Background and objective: Cardiovascular disease is the leading problem of the elders. It is progressive disorder that is initiated in childhood and its clinical demonstration is revealed after middle-aged period. This study aimed to determine the relationship between coronary artery disease- related risk-factors and aging.
Material and Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted on all 772 elders referring to Kosar Angiography Center in Golestan province, 2008-2009. The subjects were divided into coronary disorder group and normal group. The risk factors including age, gender, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, smoking and drug addiction were assessed. The data was analyzed by SPSS-16, using Mann-Whitney and T-test.
Results: Most of the subjects were between 65 to 75 years. Of the three main vessels, the most involved one was circumflex (31.5%). The factors such as gender and systolic hypertension were significantly different in two groups. Furthermore, the Risk ratio in the patients with systolic hypertension (1.13 times) and the ones with diastolic hypertension (1.11 times) was more than normal group.
Conclusion: Gender and systolic hypertension in the elders with CAD are the main and predisposing factors. Therefore, if we control hypertension, it may be possible to prevent from the CAD progress.

Abstract
Background and objective: The rate of end-stage renal disorder (ESRD) in Iran, 12%, is more than the worldwide range. The people with Hemodialysis are greatly under physical, mental and social pressures that make the acceptance of Hemodialysis difficult. Since the acceptance can be the beginning point of adaptation, this study aimed to explore the challenge in acceptance of Hemodialysis.
Material and Methods: This grounded theory study was undertaken in the Hemodialysis wards of the hospitals affiliated with Shaheed Beheshti University of Medical Sciences in Tehran. The first samples were selected via purposive sampling and the later ones with theoretical sampling till data saturation (N=24). Semi-structured interview, field notes and memos were used for data collection. The data was analyzed by using Strauss and Corbin method. Data rigor was confirmed by Lincoln and Goba criteria, considering ethical points.
Results: The challenge in acceptance of Hemodialysis emerged the categories of acceptance (by force, experience, reasoning or social norms) and lack of acceptance (subjective or objective) of necessity of Hemodialysis as well as their related codes.
Conclusion: The people on Hemodialysis encounter a challenge for acceptance of Hemodialysis. Education as well as personal, familial and social supports can resolve this challenge by changing lack of acceptance (subjective or objective) or acceptance by force to acceptance (by experience, reasoning or social norms).

Abstract
Background and Objective:One of the most common complications of IUD users is dysmenorrhea, which is not the same in different IUDs. The aim of this study was to compare the dysmenorrhea in IUD multi-load 375 and IUD copper T 380 A.
Material and Methods: A randomized double- blinded controlled clinical trial was conducted on 48 women referring to a health-center in Tabriz, from 2011jan-2012 oct.The participants were randomly allocated to two groups of multi-load 375 IUD and the copper T 380A IUD ( located in a four-member and six-member block).We measured the amount of dysmenorrhea with Visual Analog Scale , before the IUD insertion and four mouths later. The data was analyzed by SPSS-13, using Mann-Whitney, Regression, Fridmans test.
Results: The results showed that the severity and duration of dysmenorrhea in two groups of IUD were significantly different, considering the factors such as the baseline dismenorrhea, the utilized drug and the interval between the last labor and IUD insertion.The dysmenorrhea in multi-load group was decreased and in copper T increased significantly.
Conclusion: Based on the results , multi-load IUD results in considerable reduction in the severity and duration of dysmenorrhea. Therefore, it is reccomended counseling about both multi-load IUD and Copper T in the family planning service centers.

Abstract
Background and objective: Coronary Bypass Graft Surgery (CBG) is one of the therapeutic approaches having the leading effects on the function of the patients. Because of paramount importance of self-efficacy and self-esteem, we aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of family-centered empowerment on the self- efficacy and self-esteem of the patients undergoing coronary bypass surgery.
Material and Methods: This case control clinical trial was conducted on 102 patients with elective heart surgery and 102 of their active family members in 2011. The patients were selected via convenience sampling and randomly assign
ed to experimental and control group. After measuring the self-efficacy and self-esteem, family-centered empowerment care, including individual training, group discussion, film and active participation, was performed in experimental and just routine care in control group. Using PASW statistics-18, we analyzed the data.
Results: The results showed that the two groups were the same considering population variables and the mean scores of self-efficacy and self-esteem. The level of self-efficacy and self-esteem in case group were significantly higher than those of controls (P<0.000). After intervention, the mean score of self-efficacy and self-esteem were increased (P<0.0000).
Conclusion:In regard with the results, family-centered empowerment care in patients undergoing CBG is practically feasible , and it can be helpful in improving self-efficacy and self- esteem.
