    Abstract Objective: Fetal occiput posterior (OP) position is associated with more maternal and neonatal complications. This study aimed to investigate the effect of maternal position during labor on fetal OP position and pregnancy outcomes.
    Materials and methods: This randomized clinical trial study included 180 primigravida women in labor with a single fetus and approved OP position. Participants were randomly allocated into three groups: semi-prone position (n=45), knee-chest position (n=45), and supine position (n=90). All participants were placed in the defined positions 15-30 min in labor until delivery. Data collected using Visual Analogue Scale and researcher made checklist. The ANOVA, Tukey post hoc, and the chi-square test were used to analyze.
    Results: Among all participants who had OP, after intervention 16.3% in the semi-prone position, 14/3 % in the knee-chest position, and 33.7% of the control groups remained with OP at birth (X
    Conclusion: The semi-prone and knee-chest positions increase the spontaneous rotation of occiput to the anterior position, vaginal delivery rates as well as a reduction in duration of active phase of labor and low back pain after delivery.

    Abstract Background: The global spread of the new coronavirus has increased the necessity of innovations to increase the quality of health care. This study was intended to examine the impact of tele-medicine on health anxiety and pregnancy-related anxiety in pregnant women during the COVID-19 epidemic in Iran.
    Materials and methods: This quasi-experimental study was performed between March and May 2020. Sampling was done using multi-stage random sampling method. A total of 104 pregnant women were in two groups (intervention: n = 52, control: n = 52). Data were collected using a demographic and obstetric information questionnaire, the Health Anxiety Questionnaire, and Van den Bergh's Pregnancy-Related Anxiety Questionnaire. The intervention group received counseling services for 2 months by researchers through telephone conversations, text messages, and applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and Instagram. In addition to routine pregnancy care, they could contact the researchers by phone and receive the necessary advice in case of any questions, ambiguities, or problems. The control group included pregnant women who received only routine pregnancy care.
    Results: After the intervention, health anxiety scores of pregnant women in the control group were significantly higher than those of the experimental group (t
    Conclusions: Using tele-medicine, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic can reduce unnecessary referrals of pregnant women to medical centers and their risk of developing the disease, on the one hand, and by reducing women's anxiety, however, it can improve psychological consequences.

    Abstract Background: The hospital management and its functions can be very important in improving the quality of hospital care, and their managers need several competencies to perform these functions efficiently and effectively. Today, more attention should be paid to the use of professional hospital managers, especially those educated in the field of Health Services Management. The present study aimed to study the change paradigm of hospital management by graduates of Health Services Management in a hospital in Iran as a developing country.
    Materials and methods: This study was a qualitative case study conducted in the Hazrate Ali Asghar Hospital in Shiraz, Iran in 2018 in order to determine the "why", "how" and "what" aspects of applying hospital managers educated in the field of Health Services Management instead of other traditional managers, as a change paradigm. The samples were selected purposefully and semi-structured in-depth interviews with 12 people were used to explain the experiences of management style by graduates of Health Services Management. Data were collected and analyzed simultaneously using the thematic analysis method and with the inductive approach.
    Results: Results of the interviews led to the identification of 6 main themes and 26 sub-themes. The main themes were structural reforms, process reforms, organizational culture reforms, performance reforms, resource reforms, and consequences and results.
    Conclusion: According to the results, shifting from the use of traditional managers to the use of graduates of Health Services Management in the hospital proposed as a change paradigm in the hospital management is accompanied by some reforms in the hospital structures, processes, resources, culture, and performance. Such reforms may lead to some valuable final consequences and results such as increasing patient and staff satisfaction and effectiveness of actions and activities. This hypothesis is recommended to be tested in other similar settings.

    Abstract Background: The COVID-19 pandemic increased the need for new valid scientific evidence to support urgent clinical and policy decision making; as well as improved processes for the rapid synthesis, uptake and application of that evidence. Evidence informed policymaking (EIPM) can be considered as a way to access and use the results of evidence in practice. This study aimed to determine what effects COVID-19 had on the way Iranian health managers and policymakers use evidence in their decisions.
    Methods: This study was conducted in 2021 applying a qualitative research design. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews. Thirty health care managers, policy makers and medical university faculty members were recruited as the study participants, initially via a purposive sample, followed by snowballing. A conventional content analysis presented by Hsieh and Shannon (2005) was applied for data analysis.
    Results: Ten main themes emerged from the data including: 1) roles and duties of knowledge brokers (KBs); 2-5) the roles, benefits, barriers and necessities of applying Knowledge Translation Exchange (KTE) tools; 6-8) the facilitators, benefits and barriers to the application of evidence during COVID-19; 9) challenges of rapid evidence production evidence during COVID-19 and 10) consequences of not applying evidence during COVID-19. According to the present conceptual framework, KBs act as an intermediator between the large amounts of knowledge produced and decision makers. KTE tools should be applied to enhance EIPM during COVID-19. Attention should be paid to the facilitators, barriers, benefits and necessities of evidence application during COVID-19 to avoid negative consequences for the health system.
    Conclusions: Results of this study show that developing KTE tools and activating KBs can be among the main strategies to produce applied actionable messages for policymakers to move toward EIPM; and that this applies even when rapid decision making is required, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is strongly recommended to reinforce the local capacities through supporting scientific networks and relationships between research centers and local and national policymakers. At the same time, attention to local barriers to and facilitators of the application of evidence while facing a pandemic can pave the way to better identification of health system`s problems and rapid responses.

    Abstract Background: As the strategies proposed for oral health improvement in developed countries are not adapted for developing ones, this study aimed to identify the challenges of oral health policy implementation in Iran as a low-income developing country.
    Methods: This qualitative study was conducted in 2019 in Iran as a middle-eastern developing country. The study population consisted of experts who had experience in oral health and were willing to participate in the study. Snowball sampling was used to select 12 participants for semi-structured interviews and saturation was achieved after 16 interviews. Guba and Lincoln criteria including credibility, transferability, confirmability and dependability were used to determine reliability and transparency, and finally a five-step framework analysis method was used to analyze the data.
    Results: The analysis of the interviews resulted in identification of 7 main themes that were categorized into 5 problems of policy implementation as proposed by the Matus framework. The main themes of executive and preventive challenges to implement oral health policies were categorized as organizational problems, the main themes of educational and resource challenges were situated as material problems, and the main themes of insurance, policy making and trusteeship challenges were considered as legal, policymaking and perspective.
    Conclusion: The implementation of oral health policies has faced some challenges. It seems that the national coverage of oral health and integration of these services in prevention and serious attention to the private sector can be considered as the most important strategies for achieving improved oral health in Iran.

    Abstract Background: To evaluate the effect of dexamethasone administration on the interval between initiation of labor induction and active phase of labor.
    Methods: The databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Scopus and Web of Science were searched for studies published up to June 27, 2021. Two types of articles were included: a) full-text articles published in English or any other languages, and b) Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs). Participants were primi- or multigravida women with term or post-term pregnancy. The intervention group received parenteral or extra-amniotic dexamethasone whereas the control group received normal saline or no treatment before initiation of labor induction. All data were analyzed using Review Manager 5.3.
    Results: Seventeen studies involving 1879 patients were included in the meta-analysis. Administration of dexamethasone reduced the interval between the initiation of labor induction and the beginning of active phase by about 70 min [MD: - 1.17 (- 1.37, - 1.00); P < 0.00001]. Duration of the first stage of labor in the dexamethasone group was about 88 min shorter than that in the control. There were no maternal and fetal adverse effects.
    Conclusions: Dexamethasone could significantly reduce the length of induction-active phase interval, and length of the first stage of labor, with no difference in maternal or fetal adverse effects.

    Abstract Background: Episiotomy is one of the common procedures during childbirth in Iran, which causes pain, discomfort, and scar in the perineum. This study aimed to pursue the effect of Malva Sylvestris cream on episiotomy pain and healing.
    Methods: This study was a double-blinded randomized-controlled clinical trial that was conducted from April to December 2021 at the Sina hospital in Ahvaz, Iran. Sixty women were selected and randomly assigned to control and intervention groups using block randomization. The main outcomes included pain assessment and episiotomy wound healing that are assessed by the Visual analog scale (VAS), and perineal healing scale included redness, edema, ecchymosis/bruising, discharge, approximation (REEDA). The cream was used twice a day for up to 14 days. The participants were followed on the first, seventh, and fourteenth days postpartum. Independent T-test, Mann-Whitney, and Chi-square, and Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) model were used by SPSS software version 22 for data analysis. Statistically significant level was considered less than 0.05.
    Results: There were no significant statistical differences between the two groups in demographic characteristics (P>0.05). No significant statistical differences were found in both groups in terms of perineal healing (B=-0.05; P=0.89) and pain scores (B=0.15; P=0.56). However, the chance of external dysuria in the intervention group decreased by 77% (P=0.01).
    Conclusion: Despite showing the positive effect of Malva Sylvestris extract on wound healing in animal and in-vitro studies, this clinical study failed to show the positive effect of this extract on wound healing and pain relief of episiotomy. However, future clinical trials are needed to substantiate the above findings.Trial Registration Number: IRCT20190826044621N1.
