    Abstract Background: Burn injuries are a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, affecting not only the patients but also their families. Family-based education and follow-up program are interventions that aim to improve the quality of life and psychosocial outcomes of patients with burns and their families. However, we find a lack of evidence on the effectiveness and feasibility of these programs in different settings and populations. This study aimed to evaluate the features of the family-based education and follow-up program (FBEFP), a pilot project that was developed and implemented at the Tabriz Sina Teaching Hospital in 2020 to improve its burn care system.
    Design: A mixed-methods approach was used to collect and analyze both quantitative and qualitative data from various sources, such as, questionnaires, medical records, interviews and observation notes, to assess the content, process, and outcome of the program. The study followed the three steps of the CDC's framework for program evaluation: describing the program, measuring its effectiveness, and providing recommendations for improvement.
    Results: The results of this study revealed the positive impacts of the FBEFP on the patients' physical, psychological, and social outcomes and quality of life. 4.8% of the people in the follow-up group were re-admitted, while this amount was 7.2% in the group without follow-up. Although the number of readmissions was less in the non-follow-up group, statistically no significant difference was observed between the two ratios before and after follow-up. In order to evaluate satisfaction rates, In the follow-up group, 72 patients and in the non-follow-up group, 38 patients were reached. After converting these data to normal distribution, using t-tests, it was determined that the difference between the two studied groups was highly significant. In other words, the follow-up process had favorable results on satisfaction of the studied people. However, the study also identified some challenges and barriers in implementing the program, such as lack of resources, staff training, and family involvement.
    Conclusion: FBEFP is a promising intervention that enhances the well-being of patients with burns and their families. However, more evidence is needed to support its effectiveness and feasibility in different contexts and populations. The study also provided valuable insights into the benefits and challenges of implementing a Family-Based Education and Follow-up Program for patients with burns in a low-resource setting. The study contributed to the development of guidelines and recommendations for future research and practice in this field.

    Abstract Children are most vulnerable to burn injuries, and their families are their most important source of support. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the information needs of such parents and support them to help children adapt to the new situation, recover to pre-accident conditions, and reintegrate into school and society. This study aimed to investigate the perceived information needs of family caregivers of children admitted to the burn wards of hospitals. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 200 family caregivers of children admitted to the burn ward of a hospital in Tabriz, Iran. Participants were selected through convenience sampling and the required data were collected by using questionnaires on socio-demographic information, information needs, information resources, and information acquisition methods. The obtained data were analyzed statistically using descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, frequency, and percentage) and inferential statistics (Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis, and Spearman correlation tests). Results indicated that the greatest informational need among family caregivers was related to the child's condition. The treatment team was identified as the most important source of information for them. It was found that information should be provided in a comprehensive and understandable manner, while maintaining honesty and human dignity. The study findings contribute to our understanding of the specific information needs of family caregivers in managing the medical care of children with burns. These findings can serve as a basis for interventions and support services aimed at meeting the needs of these families and improving the quality of care for children with burns.

    Abstract The burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is diminishing in developed countries. However, in middle- and low-income countries the CVD death rates are growing. CVD is the most common cause of death and disability in Iran and accounts for nearly half of all mortalities in Iranians. Therefore, preventive strategies by risk factor modification are a top priority in the country. Recently, Mobile-Health (mHealth) technology has been the focus of increasing interest in improving the delivery of cardiovascular prevention, targeting a combination of modifiable risk factors. This parallel-group single-blinded randomized controlled trial study has been designed to evaluate the impact of using a mHealth application on risk factors control. Individuals aged between 25 and 75 years who have documented CVD by coronary angiography in Tehran Heart Center and have at least one uncontrolled risk factor from the three including hypertension, dyslipidemia, and current cigarette smoking will be included. We are going to randomize 1544 patients into two study arms as follows: 1- Intervention: usual care + mHealth 2- Control: usual care + paper-based recommendations and educational materials. After 3 and 6 months of follow-up, the status of risk factors will be determined through outpatient visits and face-to-face interviews for both arms. Outcome: Successful risk factor control will be measured after 3 and 6 months. Nowadays, mHealth is becoming increasingly popular, providing a good opportunity for constant monitoring of risk factors and changing health behavior in a target population. Meanwhile, providing evidence for the effectiveness of health intervention delivery using mobile technologies could help health providers encourage their at-risk population to stop smoking, control blood pressure and blood cholesterol, and participate in regular physical activity. While the burden of CVD is growing in developing countries, this type of intervention can be a cost-effective way to reduce it in these countries.

    Abstract Background: One of the facets of nursing care, as a holistic profession, is cultural care. Considering the role of culture in individuals' health behaviors, nurses are recommended to be mindful of cultural care. Since nursing educators should be culturally competent to teach cultural care to students, this study aimed to determine the cultural competence of nursing educators of medical sciences universities in the 2nd regional planning in Iran.
    Methods: The current research was a descriptive and survey study framed within Campinha-Bacote's cultural competency model. All nursing educators of universities of medical sciences in the 2nd regional planning of Iran (Tabriz, Urmia, Ardabil, Khoy, Maragheh, Sarab, and Khalkhal) were considered as research units, and the cultural diversity questionnaire for nursing faculties (CDQNE-R) was sent to them. Out of 129 questionnaires sent, 84 were turned back. The data were analyzed by the SPSS 22 software.
    Results: The results of this study showed that the research participants agreed with the subscales of cultural awareness, cultural knowledge, cultural skill, and cultural desire according to Sealey and Yates' interpretation scale. Also, the research units cast doubts on the cultural encounter subscale. The mean scores of the participants' responses to the questions of every subscale equaled 4.11, 3.52, 3.71, 3.38, and 3.93 for the subscales of cultural awareness, cultural knowledge, cultural skill, cultural encounter, and cultural desire, respectively. Likewise, the mean scores of participants' responses to the subscales of transcultural educational behaviors and general cultural competence equaled 3.90 and 3.73.
    Conclusions: The nursing faculties participating in the present study agreed with the 4 sub-models of Campinha-Bacote cultural care and the presence of cultural competence criteria. Also, the research units had doubts about the cultural encounter subscale. This result means that the research participants were undecided about their level of participation in face-to-face interactions with people from different cultural, racial, and ethnic groups. According to the results of the study, it is important to hold transcultural nursing training workshops and courses to maintain and improve the level of cultural competence of nursing faculties at universities of medical sciences in the 2nd regional planning in Iran.

    Abstract Background: Using simulation in an appropriate education plan which has always been challenging; To be used alone or in combination with other methods and the order of it's use. This article was intended to compare student's knowledge, clinical skill and readiness-capability using simulation and combination of it with traditional training methods to collect necessary evidence for development of an appropriate simulation- based educational plan for surgical technology students.
    Methods: This is a controlled pre/post-test quasi-experimental study in 2019. All surgical technology students who had selected the scrub and circulate course (n = 28) were randomly divided into two groups. One of the groups was educated with traditional training method (TTM). On the same day, the other group was educated with simulation training method (STM). After two weeks, group α received simulation training and group β was subject to traditional training. Multiple-Choice Test for Knowledge Assessment and Clinical Skills as well as Readiness-Capability (KCSRC) of appendectomy Surgery checklist were used in this study. Data were analysed after each training method, after Two weeks and after blended education.For data analysis, Mixed-Design ANOVA and SPSS software 24/v were employed.
    Results: The mean scores of knowledge, clinical skills, and readiness-capability were 14.2 ± 2.91, 44.42 ± 17.74, 21.58 ± 4.18 in group α and 12.66 ± 3.21, 41.17 ± 16.19, and 18.58 ± 7.85 in group β, respectively. The comparison between mean scores of KCSRC before the first training and after combined training in each group showed that the mean of all scores significantly increased in group α (p < 0.0001), which indicates that the education plan starting with TTM and continued with STM has the most significant effect on results.
    Conclusion: According to the results of the study, it seems that starting the education plan for surgical students with TTM and then continuing with STM would be more effective on education of students, especially on students' long term learning.

    Abstract For virtual care models to be able to improve the safety and quality of care, it is essential to identify the strengths and weaknesses of virtual care. In this Scoping review, literature published on virtual care was identified using international databases. The results of the included studies were summarized using a predefined taxonomy. In total, 20 studies were included in the present review. Extracting the findings of the articles showed four main topics, including "virtual care delivery models," "Video conference software platforms to provide virtual care," "virtual care delivery challenges," and "virtual care implementation facilitators." Therefore, with the development of emerging digital technologies, unique opportunities to provide virtual care and improve the provision of health services have been created in the health care system worldwide. Multifunctional video conference software platforms using specific models for each scope of care practice should be considered.

    Abstract Aim: To develop the caring model and utilize and evaluate the effect of the model in the nursing student's learning process in burn wards.
    Design: A longitudinal multiphase study.
    Methods: In the first phase, "Coming back to existence caring model" was developed, in the second phase, to evaluate the program, 35 students in the first semester and 31 students in the second semester of the 2017-2018 academic year were selected randomly, and their logbooks were analysed.
    Results: Components of the nursing process, based on the model, were wound management, care and documentation, early mobilization, discharge planning and patient education. The lowest nursing process utilization in both semesters was in the sexuality domain. The most nursing diagnosis was a risk for infection. In the discharge plan, education about how the patient communicates with others in the second semester was less than other educational content (61/3%). However, empowering students was remarkable.

    Abstract Background: In critical situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic, nurses always face a lot of stress that can increase their turnover intention. Since a suitable safety climate in the workplace is considered an important factor in preventive management of occupational hazards and people's adaptation to stressful conditions, the present study aimed to determine Turnover intention among operating room nurses during the COVID-19 outbreak and its association with perceived safety climate.
    Methods: In this descriptive correlational study, participants were 190 operating room nurses working at public hospitals in Mazandaran (Iran) who were selected by stratified random sampling. Data were collected using the Anticipated Turnover Scale and the Nurses' Safety Climate Questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS16.
    Results: The results of the linear regression analysis revealed that safety climate significantly reduced turnover intention among nurses in the COVID-19 pandemic (
    Conclusion: The present findings demonstrated an unfavorable safety climate perceived by perioperative nurses in the COVID-19 pandemic, with a significant inverse relationship with turnover intention. Strategies such as training personnel on the prevention of the disease transmission in the surgery of patients infected with or suspected of COVID-19, creating a proper supportive environment for personnel, and providing appropriate protective equipment to prevent infection with COVID-19 seem absolutely vital to improving the safety climate in the operating room, thereby reducing turnover intention.
