    Abstract Episiotomy took over as the most common surgery in the field of midwifery that was performed in the second stage of labor to facilitate delivery, and reduce perineal damage. Music is one of the methods used to combat pain. We applied a meta-analysis to investigate whether music-based interventions can reduce short-term postpartum episiotomy pain. Four main English databases including Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus were searched until July 2022. All randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with at least two groups (control and intervention) that aimed to measure the effect of music therapy on episiotomy pain were included in the present review. The Cochrane risk of bias checklist was used to assess study quality. Study heterogeneity was determined using the I

    Abstract Background & Objective: Designing standard Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQs) can enhance education quality. This study aimed to determine the effect of holding a workshop on the standardization of MCQs for the final examination of the performance and satisfaction of faculties and student satisfaction in the Zanjan University of Medical Sciences. Materials and Methods: This was a pre-post single-group interventional study performed during 2018-2019. The performance of the faculties was assessed in terms of observing the structural rules and taxonomic level of the questions in the two stages before the consecutive semesters after the intervention. In addition, the level of satisfaction was evaluated using a researcher-made questionnaire. The sample population consisted of 50 faculty members selected by a simple random method. The educational content was composed of the objective questions design principles, face and content validity, and difficulty/discrimination indices of the questions. Moreover, data analysis was performed applying descriptive statistics and chi-square at 95% confidence interval. Results: This study reviewed 932 and 1679 questions before and after the intervention, respectively. There was a higher satisfaction level for all the Millman checklist criteria after intervening in the structure of questions. As a result, the total mean score of the structure of the questions increased from 12.67±0.86 to 13.0±06.69, demonstrating a statistically significant increase in this regard (P≤0.001). The comprehension and knowledge questions had the highest, and evaluation questions had the lowest percentage per Bloom's taxonomy in each semester. The satisfaction level of the tutors

    Abstract Objective: The present study aimed to determine the influence of educational interventions on improving the quality of life (QOL) of women suffering from pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting (NVP) as a systematic review.
    Methods: The current systematic review followed the standard Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) checklist guideline. The English electronic databases were used to identify relevant studies published 2000 until 14 August 2023. The search strategies employed were based on Mesh browser keywords and free-text words. The study risk of bias was evaluated using the Cochrane Collaboration's tool for assessing the risk of bias tools and publication bias was evaluated using a funnel plot and Begg and Egger tests. The heterogeneity of the studies was evaluated using
    Results: Out of the seven randomized clinical/control trial (RCT) studies with a total of 946 subjects included in the review, five studies reported a significant result, indicating that the interventions had a statistically significant effect on the QOL of women suffering NVP and in two studies did not have a significant result. A subgroup analysis was done based on the type of quality-of-life measurements. The pooled standardized mean difference (SMD) of four articles (Nausea and Vomiting Pregnancy Quality of Life, NVPQOL) with a total of 335 subjects was -2.91, and CI of -4.72 to -1.11,
    Conclusions: The overall results of the analysis indicated that educational intervention had a small positive impact on the QOL of women experiencing NVP. However, to draw a better conclusion, it is recommended to conduct further studies with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up periods.

    Abstract The increasing trend of population has caused cities to face significant physical development in recent years. In many cities, unplanned physical development has been associated with environmental degradation and environmental hazards. One of the areas that has faced with a lot of physical development in recent years is the city of Hendijan in Khuzestan province. In this research, Landsat satellite images, 30 meters high digital model and different information layers are used as the most important research data. The tools used in the research include ArcGIS (to prepare the desired maps), ENVI (to process satellite images and prepare land use maps) and IDRISI (to implement the LCM model). Also, the most important model used in the research was the LCM model, which was used to evaluate the spatial trend of land use changes. The results of this research have shown that the size of the residential areas of Hendijan city has increased by about 1.6 square kilometers during a period of 30 years. The results of the evaluation of land use changes in the region have shown that during the period of 30 years, 1.15 square kilometers of barren lands, 0.4 square kilometers of agricultural lands and 0.05 square kilometers of gardens have been converted into settlements. Also, the results of the evaluation of the spatial trend of changes have shown that the highest development rate of the residential areas was related to the northern areas of the Hendijan.

    Abstract Background: Episiotomy took over as the most common surgery in the field of midwifery that was performed in the second stage of labor to facilitate delivery, and reduce perineal damage. Music is one of the methods used to combat pain. We applied a meta-analysis to investigate whether music-based interventions can reduce short-term postpartum episiotomy pain. Four main English databases including Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus were searched until July 2022. All randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with at least two groups (control and intervention) that aimed to measure the effect of music therapy on episiotomy pain were included in the present review. The Cochrane risk of bias checklist was used to assess study quality. Study heterogeneity was determined using the I2 statistic and publication bias using Begg’s and Egger’s tests. Results of random effect analysis are presented as Standard Mean Difference (SMD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Data were analyzed using the STATA software version 16. In total, seven articles with 677 subjects were included in the meta-analysis. Overall, the pool estimates of the meta-analysis demonstrated that music therapy has a positive impact on reducing short-term pain derived from episiotomy in both primiparous and multiparous compared to the control group (pooled SMD = −1.60; CI = −2.18, −1.02, p-value<0.001). The heterogeneity was high among including studies (I2 = 95.7%, p < 0.001). Our result showed that music-based interventions can be considered a choice for the management of short-term postpartum episiotomy pain among both primiparous and multiparous women. Future studies with large sample sizes and longer follow-up periods will be required to draw better conclusions about the long-term effects on postpartum pain.

    Abstract Objective: It is important to evaluate the long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the intention of midwives to leave their jobs. The study examined the relationship between burnout and the intent to leave work among midwives who worked at Ayatollah Mousavi Hospital of Zanjan, one year after the COVID-19 outbreak.
    Method: In a descriptive-analytical study, the intention of 88 midwives to leave their jobs was evaluated, one year after the outbreak of COVID-19 disease in 2021. The midwives were selected using convenience sampling methods. Data were collected using the Maslach burnout questionnaire and the Anticipated Turnover Scale (ATS). Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, Chi-square test, Pearson correlation coefficient, and multiple linear regression model with the stepwise method at a 95% confidence level.
    Results: The mean intention to leave the job was 29.71 ± 6.75. Most of the midwives reported a moderate level of intention to leave the job (47.7%). There was a significant positive correlation between the intention to leave the job and all three components of burnout. The stepwise regression analyses indicated that emotional exhaustion (
    Conclusions: It can be concluded that the intention to leave the job of midwives was moderate. Given the relationship between emotional exhaustion and the intent to leave the job, interventions to increase the mental strength and resilience of midwives during the COVID-19 pandemic seem necessary.
