Peternakan ayam broiler merupakan salah satu komoditas peternakan yang memiliki prospek pengembangan yang sangat baik baik pada skala industri maupun skala peternakan rakyat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengisolasi dan mengidentifikasi Salmonella sp. dari ayam broiler pada kandang penampungan di Tempat Pemotongan Unggas pasar tradisional Kota Kendari, serta mengetahui tingkat resistensi Salmonella sp. tersebut terhadap ampisilin. Sampel yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah usap kloaka, dengan total jumlah sampel sebanyak 25 sampel. Sampel berasal dari 5 pasar tradisional dengan tingkat pemotongan terbanyak di Kota Kendari. Identifikasi dilakukan dengan mengkultur bakteri pada media Salmonella Shigella Agar (SSA) yang merupakan media spesifik untuk bakteri Salmonella sp. Kultur bakteri diinkubasi pada suhu 37 °C selama 48 jam. Hasil positif ditunjukkan dengan adanya pertumbuhan bakteri berwarna hitam pada media SSA. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa Salmonella sp. dapat diisolasi dari usap kloaka ayam broiler pada seluruh pasar tradisional di Kota Kendari. Uji Resitensi Salmonella sp. terhadap ampisilin pada 25 sampel menunjukkan hasil masing-masing 40% (25/10) sampel masih sensitif/susceptible, 32% (8/28) telah resisten dan 28% (7/25) tergolong Intermediate. Status resistensi bakteri Salmonella sp. pada ayam broiler dapat terjadi karena penggunaan antibiotic yang tidak terkontrol selama masa pemeliharaan dan/atau melalui interaksi/infeksi yang terjadi saat ayam tersebut berada di kandang penampungan di Tempat Pemotongan Unggas yang berada di pasar tradisional.

Abstract The astroblastomas are brain tumors with low prevalence and high degree of malignancy, which originate in the glial tissue, more specifically in the astrocytes. Although they are more frequent in young adults, there are some juvenile cases flagged and their recovery is generally uncertain. The goal of this study is to report the therapeutic effects of neuropsychological rehabilitation in a young 15-year-old child after the diagnosis and surgical removal of an astroblastoma. The child manifested some difficulties in specific areas (attention- concentration, memory, motivation) and depressive symptoms. The patient underwent a neuropsychological stimulation protocol, which consisted of 1-hour sessions of the monitored practice of stimulating tasks adapted to their needs accompanied by activities to perform at home. There was an improvement in the overall results as well as a decrease in depressive symptoms. The results suggest that neuropsychological intervention has a positive impact on the rehabilitation process of young people. Keywords: Gliomas, Astroblastoma, Neuropsychological Intervention.

Published: February 2024

Hallucinations are the client's perception of the environment without any real stimulus, which means the client interprets something real without external stimulus. The purpose of this writing is to describe the nursing management of sensory perception disorders: auditory hallucinations in Mr. N and Mr. R at RSJ Palembang. The method used is to provide management in the form of patient care to control the auditory hallucinations they experience. Patient management was carried out for 5 days for Mr. N and Mr. R. Data collection techniques were carried out using interview techniques, physical examination and observation. Management results showed that clients were able to control the auditory hallucinations they experienced, namely by shouting, having conversations, scheduled activities and taking medication. Clients are able to overcome the hallucinations they experience as a whole so that the treatment given can provide optimal results. Suggestions for RSJ are expected to improve nursing care for sensory perception disorders: hallucinations by involving clients in various activities in the room so that clients remain focused and do not get lost in their hallucinations
Impact of Digitalization on Budgeting Functions: An Investigation into Contingency Theory Perspectives
Authors: KARMAŃSKA Anna , PIOSIK Andrzej
Published: February 2024

The objectives of this article are to examine whether the application of digitalization in enterprise budgeting affects the fulfilment of budgeting functions and their qualitative characteristics, and to investigate whether the realization of budgeting functions brings benefits. The research was conducted from the perspective of contingency theory, both internal and external conditions. The study used an online survey targeting company budgeting staff. Structural Equation Modelling was utilized to validate the structural model (PLS-SEM technique). The conclusions confirm that the application of digitalization, which particularly pertains to ERP, business intelligence systems, and accounting systems with budgeting solutions, positively impacts the fulfilment of budgeting functions and most of their qualitative characteristics, while blockchain makes a minor contribution. Our research suggests that contingency variables, particularly internal ones such as company size, the quality of the organizational structure, and support for competitive strategy, continue to affect budgeting implementation even with the participation of digitalization in budgeting. Budgeting functions and their qualitative aspects are notably correlated with the advantages derived from budgeting, including financial performance, sustainable development and budget task execution.Copyright© 2023 The Author(s).

Published: February 2024

One of the efforts to strengthen the role of women in the family context to improve overall family health and welfare is the Increasing the Role of Women towards a Healthy and Prosperous Family program. After one year, an analysis was carried out to find out what factors affect the effectiveness of this program. Specifically examine the influence of participation factors in programs, education, training, access to resources, culture and norms on increasing the role of women in the family and further on family welfare. Also culture and norms as moderator variables for the influence between changes in roles in the family on family well-being. Respondents were program participants, and were immediately interviewed for filling out questionnaires, which were processed with PLS Smart4 Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) statistics. The findings of this study are that participation factors in programs, education, training, access to resources to change the role of women in the family play a role in the effectiveness of family welfare programs. Culture and norms proved to be moderator variables for the influence of changing roles in the family on family well-being. Meanwhile, culture and norms are not moderator variables for the influence of participant participation in programs and training education held on participants' access to resources. With this, it can be understood what factors need to be done to be fostered and improved, so as to accelerate the success process of the program to increase the role of women towards a healthy and prosperous family in Indonesia.

Authors: Elsayed Elashry Hesham , Abdelbadie Mohamed , Ali Elshabacy Abeer , Ali Elmiseery Omnia
Published: February 2024

Background: Appropriate pain management promotes immediate mobilization and allows the parturient to adequately care for her neonate after cesarean section (CS). Objectives: This trial objective was to compare the type III and type II quadratus lumborum block (QLB) to transversus abdominis plane block (TAPB) regarding postoperative analgesic effect in CS. Methods: This randomized, controlled, single-blind trial involved 60 women presenting for CS under spinal anesthesia. The patients were assigned randomly to either the QLB type III, QLB type II, or lateral TAPB group. All blocks were performed using 20 mL of bupivacaine 0.25% bilaterally at the end of the operation with ultrasound guidance. Pain was assessed using the numerical rating scale (NRS) score at the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) at 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 18, and 24 hours. The level of patient satisfaction was graded on a 5-point Likert scale. Results: Numerical rating scale measurements at 6, 8, and 12 hours and total consumed meperidine in the 1st 24 hours after the operation were reduced significantly in QLB III than in QLB II and TAPB groups (P < 0.05) with an insignificant difference between the QLB II and TAPB groups (P > 0.05). The onset of the first request for analgesia was delayed significantly in QLB III, compared to QLB II and TAPB groups (P < 0.05), without a significant difference between the QLB II and TAPB groups (P > 0.05). Patient satisfaction and adverse events (e.g., postoperative nausea and vomiting, bradycardia, and hypotension) exhibited insignificant differences among the three groups (P > 0.05). Conclusions: The QLB type III ensured better analgesia as evidenced by significantly lower pain measurements and amount of meperidine in the first 24 hours after the operation with delayed time of the first rescue analgesia in comparison to QLB II and TAPB; however, QLB II and TAPB were similar.
Efficacy Comparison Between Interscalene Block with and Without Superficial Cervical Plexus Block for Anesthesia in Clavicle Surgery
Authors: Mosaffa Faramarz , Ghasemi Mahshid , Habibi Afsaneh , Minaei Reza , Bazgir Narges , Memary Elham , Shakeri Alireza
Published: February 2024

Background: Clavicle fractures account for over one-third of shoulder injuries and up to 3.3% of all fractures in adults. While the majority of these fractures can be managed non-surgically, there are instances where surgical intervention is performed. Regional anesthesia (RA) can be a preferred alternative to general anesthesia (GA) to avoid complications and high costs in this surgery. Moreover, the identification of the most optimal approach for RA remains challenging. Objectives: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of interscalene block (ISB) with and without superficial cervical plexus block (SCPB) as an anesthetic technique for clavicular fracture operation. Methods: This double-blinded, non-inferiority clinical trial was conducted on 120 patients randomly divided into 2 groups: One receiving ISB and the other receiving ISB with SCPB. The primary outcome was defined as the conversion to GA. Various factors were recorded, including surgery duration, nerve block initiation, analgesics required in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU), and sedation during surgery. Pain was evaluated using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) in PACU. SPSS version 26 was used for statistical analysis, performing descriptive analysis, Student’s t-tests, and Mann-Whitney U tests to compare non-parametric variables between the 2 groups. Statistically significant results had a P value of less than 0.05. Results: A total of 120 patients were randomly divided into 2 equal groups, each consisting of 50 males and 10 females. The mean age of intervention and case groups were 37.23 ± 13.30 and 38.43 ± 11.95 years, respectively. After performing statistical tests (Student's t-test and Mann-Whitney U test), there was no significant difference in the initiation time of nerve block, surgery initiation time, surgery duration, the amount of required sedation, VAS scores, and meperidine consumption (P > 0.05). None of the patients in both groups required conversion to GA. Conclusions: The primary goal was achieved in all included cases, and no patients required conversion to GA. The efficacy of ISB is the same whether or not it is combined with a SCPB. Interscalene block is an alternative RA approach for clavicle fractures. Thus, ISB alone is as efficient as when used in combination with SCPB.
A Continuous Transversus Abdominis Plane Block Decreases Hospital Length of Stay Compared to Thoracic Epidural Analgesia After Open Radical Cystectomy Surgery: A Retrospective Study
Authors: Beig Zali Sanaz , Steinhorn Rachel , Hu Vivian , Hung Linda , McGovern Francis , Alinezhad Farbod , Yamany Tammer , Anderson Thomas Anthony , Sabouri A. Sassan
Published: February 2024

Background: Poorly managed postoperative pain can prolong hospital stays and increase the risk of complications in patients undergoing open radical cystectomy (ORC). Despite strong support from the clinical guidelines for using surgical site-specific peripheral regional anesthetic techniques and neuraxial analgesia, their effects on postoperative outcomes are unclear. Objectives: This study aims to fill the above knowledge gap by comparing thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) and continuous transversus abdominis plane (CTAP) blocks in ORC patients. Methods: In this retrospective observational study, we conducted chart reviews at a quaternary care academic hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, between March 2015 and September 2017. Patients undergoing ORC and receiving either CTAP or TEA were included. The primary outcome was the hospital length of stay (HLOS), and secondary outcomes included time until ambulation, postoperative narcotic usage, and renal function as measured by the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Results: We studied 146 patients, 124 of whom met our inclusion criteria. Patients receiving CTAP had a 17.4% reduction in HLOS (95% CI: 3.2, 29.4; P = 0.02) and a 13.9% reduction in time until ambulation (95% CI: 3.4, 23.3; P = 0.01) compared to those receiving TEA. This was equivalent to a relative decrease in HLOS of approximately 2.1 days in the CTAP group as compared to the TEA group. No significant differences were observed in narcotic usage or GFR between the two groups. Our sensitivity analyses using instrumental variables analysis yielded similar results. Conclusions: Continuous transversus abdominis plane was associated with a shorter HLOS and quicker time to ambulate compared to TEA, without affecting narcotic usage or renal function. These findings suggest that CTAP may be a viable alternative to TEA for perioperative analgesia in ORC patients. Further research is needed to confirm these findings.

Background: Several coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines, utilizing different platforms, have successfully obtained emergency clinical use authorization to prevent severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections. Most published data from COVID-19 vaccine trials have frequently observed mild-to-moderate side effects, with varying severity depending on various vaccine types. Objectives: This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of side effects associated with four types of COVID-19 vaccines among vaccinated healthcare workers following the first and second vaccine doses and to identify possible risk factors for COVID-19 vaccine side effects. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from April 2021 to March 2022 by administering a questionnaire and conducting direct interviews with healthcare workers in Kerman, southeastern Iran, who had received 2 or more doses of COVID-19 vaccines. Results: Out of 861 individuals enrolled in the study, 38.7% received Sputnik, 32.4% AstraZeneca, 19.6% Covaxin, and 9.3% Sinopharm vaccines. Overall, the most common side effects after the first and second doses included general symptoms, fever and chills, injection site reactions, neurological symptoms, and gastrointestinal symptoms. Furthermore, the frequency of symptoms significantly reduced after the second dose. Conclusions: General symptoms and injection site reactions were significantly more common after receiving the first dose of vaccines compared to the second dose. No severe vaccine side effects were observed in this study. However, further research is required to evaluate the long-term symptoms and safety profiles of COVID-19 vaccines.

Published: February 2024

Context: Health, in all its aspects, is an important human right. There are various factors for the health of individuals with complex relationships with other cultural and social characteristics of a society that lead to inequality in health. Social determinants of health have a critical role in health matters; their impact on women's fertility and childbearing must be viewed as an important field to macrolevel and microlevel health scope decision-making and policy development. Objectives: This study aims to extract and determine the social determinants that affect women's reproductive health based on existing studies and strong evidence. Methods: This study was a systematic review that searched reputable medical databases and sites, including PubMed, Scopus, ISI, IranDoc, and SID, utilizing keywords like "social," "reproductive health/fertility/childbearing," and "women/female/woman". The scope of the study was limited to articles published between 2010 and 2019 due to the large volume of data available, and articles written in languages other than English or Persian were excluded from the review. The segregated articles concerning the abstract content were screened by two independent individuals to match the research objectives and keywords. The relevant abstracts were separated for review in the next step, and the full text of the obtained articles was read separately by two independent individuals to ensure their alignment with the research objectives. The articles were reviewed for quality and accuracy using the CASP tool, and those scoring above 75% entered the final stage of the study. Results: In the initial database search, 1731 articles were found, and after removing duplicates, 1516 remained. Of these, 1313 were removed for not meeting the research objectives, leaving 203 articles for the next stage. After further review, 92 articles were excluded, resulting in 107 articles for further review. Out of these, 84 articles were evaluated for compliance with research objectives, with 26 articles entering the critical evaluation stage. All articles scored above 75% on evaluation tools and entered the final stage of information extraction. Conclusions: The social determinants that impact women's reproductive health and childbearing, based on studies worldwide, include racial, ethnic, and national discrimination (for immigrants and minorities), micro and macroeconomic factors (income, costs of living, and healthcare), socio-cultural factors (education, employment, family norms), and socio-geographical factors (residence and urban status).

Background: Traffic injuries are one of the top ten leading causes of mortality worldwide that impose a substantial burden on the health and economy of nations. Among all traffic users, pedestrians are the most vulnerable, accounting for a significant share of injuries and fatalities resulting from traffic accidents. Numerous factors contribute to pedestrian traffic accidents, with unsafe pedestrian behavior being one of the most critical factors. Objectives: Various factors can influence the traffic behavior of pedestrians. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the relationship between demographic characteristics, the general health status of pedestrians, and their traffic behavior. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, after obtaining ethical approval and participants’ consent, data were collected from eligible individuals. The data included participants’ demographic information and their responses to the 28-question General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28) and the Pedestrian Behavior Questionnaire (PBQ). Linear regression analysis was performed to assess the relationships between demographic variables, general health domains, and the total score obtained from the PBQ. Results: Among the 1 421 participants in the study, 720 (50.7%) were female and 1 310 (92.2%) were under the age of 60. In terms of marital status, 979 individuals were married (69.5%), and 368 (26.2%) were single. The overall score of the general health of the participants was high in 623 individuals (43.8%), moderate in 666 individuals (46.9%), low in 122 individuals (8.6%), and very low in 10 individuals (0.7%). The mean (standard deviation) score of pedestrian behavior was also 57.89 (±11.9). There was a significant relationship between female gender, age of 15-29 years, being single, and domains of general health (somatic symptoms, anxiety assessment, social dysfunction assessment, and depression assessment) with the overall score of pedestrian behavior. Additionally, a significant relationship was found between the overall score of the participants’ general health and the overall score of their pedestrian behavior. Conclusions: There is a significant relationship between demographic characteristics and various domains of the general health of pedestrians and their behavior. Paying attention to this issue in policymaking and conducting further studies to identify other factors affecting pedestrian traffic behavior to prevent traffic injuries seems necessary.

Published: February 2024

Background: Numerous research studies have unveiled the significant impacts of neurofeedback (NFB) on individuals suffering from depression, anxiety, and stress. Objectives: In light of these findings, the current trial aimed to assess the efficacy of neurofeedback in alleviating stress symptoms among students experiencing high levels of stress, utilizing the neurofeedback method. Methods: The trial comprised 30 students aged between 15 and 25 years old who were identified as experiencing psychological distress. To ensure an in-depth investigation and account for potential confounding variables, we employed a randomized controlled trial design, randomly allocating participants to either the experimental or control group. The first group received an 8-week course of neurofeedback treatment, while the control group did not receive any specific treatment but underwent psychological assessments at predetermined intervals. Baseline measurements were taken at the commencement of the study, utilizing the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS-21) and salivary tests. Subsequent measurements were conducted after 4 weeks and at the conclusion of the research. The collected data underwent repeated measures of variance analysis for statistical evaluation. Results: At the conclusion, the mean of the experimental group (36.8) and control group (76.67) were found to be significantly different (P < 0.001). Furthermore, after 4 weeks into the study, the repeated measures variance analysis revealed that the mean of the experimental group was lower than that of the other group (P < 0.05, ES: 0.651). Conclusions: The results of this trial suggest that neurofeedback (NFB) can be considered an effective, low-risk, non-invasive treatment option for individuals experiencing high levels of stress, as indicated by the significant reduction in salivary biomarkers.

Background: Neuroinflammation and oxidative stress are critical factors involved in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD), the second most common progressive neurodegenerative disease. Additionally, lipid peroxidation end products contribute to inflammatory responses by activating pro-inflammatory genes. Lipid peroxidation occurs as a result of either the overproduction of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) or the reaction of cyclooxygenases (COXs). Objectives: In this study, we examined the role of 1,5-diaryl pyrrole derivatives against the neurotoxic effects of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) in a cellular model of PD. Methods: PC12 cells were pre-treated with compounds 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-methyl-1-(4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)-1H-pyrrole (A), 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5-methyl-1H-pyrrole (B), and 1-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-methyl-1H-pyrrole (C), respectively, 24 h before exposure to 6-OHDA. We conducted various assays, including 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazoliumbromide (MTT), ROS, and lipid peroxidation assays, Hoechst staining, Annexin V/PI, Western blotting analysis and ELISA method, to assess the neuroprotective effects of pyrrole derivatives on 6-OHDA-induced neurotoxicity. Results: Our results demonstrated that apoptosis induction was inhibited by controlling the lipid peroxidation process in the in vitro model following pre-treatment with compounds A, B, and, somehow, C. Furthermore, compounds A and C likely act by suppressing the COX-2/PGE2 pathway, a mechanism not attributed to compound B. Conclusions: These findings suggest that the novel synthetic pyrrolic derivatives may be considered promising neuroprotective agents that can potentially prevent the progression of PD.

Background: Heart rate recovery (HRR) after exercise is a specific measure of the functioning of the autonomic nervous system. A rapid HRR immediately after exercise is associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. Besides, there is a correlation between post-exercise HRR and cardiovascular risk factors. Objectives: This study investigated the correlation between obesity indices after exercise testing and HRR to evaluate the autonomic system and the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 108 non-random consecutive patients over 18 years old with indications for exercise testing were selected from those referred to Modarres Hospital in Tehran between 2021 - 2022. The patients were subjected to an exercise test, and the decrease in heart rate was recorded in the first and second minutes after the exercise testing. Then, the correlation between obesity indices and risk factors for cardiovascular diseases and the HHR was evaluated. Results: Based on our results, none of the obesity indices such as weight, height, BMI, neck circumference, waist circumference, hip circumference, WHR, ABSI, ABI, or BAI showed a significant correlation with the reduction of the heart rate one and two minutes after the exercise test. However, the heart rate reduction one minute after the exercise test was significantly lower in patients with a family history of heart disease. Also, the heart rate reduction two minutes after the exercise test was significantly lower in diabetic patients, hyperlipidemic patients, and patients with insufficient sleep. Conclusions: Although there was no significant correlation between obesity indices and heart rate reduction after exercise tests due to the harmful effects of obesity and overweight on cardiac function and its increasing prevalence, clinical trial studies will be beneficial in clarifying the effects of obesity indices on cardiac efficiency.

Background: The Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) is used in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) to stratify the risk of mortality. The Synergy Between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (SYNTAX) score explains the extent of coronary artery disease (CAD) and guides to an appropriate treatment strategy. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the correlation between GRACE and SYNTAX scores. Methods: A total of 101 ACS patients were recruited in this case-control study. Coronary angiography (CA) was performed for all of the participants. Correlation analysis was performed to investigate the relationship between GRACE risk and SYNTAX angiographic scores. Results: A total of 83 men and 18 women who had ACS with an average age of 57.2 ± 11.6 years (minimum of 33 and maximum of 89 years) were investigated. The SYNTAX angiographic score and the GRACE risk score for participants of this study were 15.09 ± 5.87 and 114.47 ± 26.2, respectively. A strong positive correlation, which was statistically significant, was demonstrated between the GRACE risk score and the SYNTAX angiographic score (r = 0.867, P < 0.001) Conclusions: Our findings point out a significant strong positive correlation exists between GRACE risk score and SYNTAX angiographic score in patients with unstable angina (UA), ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), or non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).

Background: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine and metabolic disorder in women. Several factors are thought to be affected by exercise, including insulin resistance (IR), FGF-21, and PNPLA3. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effect of swimming training on IR, FGF-21, and PNPLA-3 gene expression in the liver of rats with PCOS. Methods: A total of 24 adult female Wistar rats were divided into four groups: Healthy control group, PCOS control group, healthy exercise group, and PCOS exercise group. Submaximal endurance swimming training was performed using different water flow rates from seven to 15 liters/minute for four weeks, five days per week for 60 minutes. The IR level and expression of FGF-21 and PNPLA3 genes were measured from the liver tissue. Data was analyzed using SPSS software (version 25) and one-way ANOVA (P < 0.05). Results: Based on the results, a significant difference in the amount of IR (P = 0.001), gene expression of FGF-21 (P = 0.001), and PNPLA-3 (P = 0.001) after four weeks of swimming training was decreased. Conclusions: Four weeks of swimming training improves the metabolic pathway and positively affects patients with PCOS.

Background: Caring for war veterans causes suffering and stress in their caregivers. Therefore, it is necessary to use non-pharmacological methods to reduce anxiety and increase the resilience of caregivers. Objectives: The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of spiritual self-care patterns (SSCP) on the resilience of spouses of veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Methods: This semi-experimental study was conducted on 30 spouses of veterans with PTSD, who were selected randomly and divided into two groups, including the control group (fifteen people) and the experimental group (fifteen people). For the experimental group, training intervention was implemented by SSCP, while no intervention was performed for the control group. The Conner-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RIS) questionnaire was used to evaluate the level of resilience. Finally, the results obtained before and after the intervention were analyzed using SPSS software version 21 and relevant statistical tests at a significance level of α = 0.05. Results: The results showed that the mean resilience score in the control group before and after the intervention was 46.5 ± 5.7 and 47.0 ± 6.2, respectively, which did not have a significant difference (P = 0.70). This value for the experimental group was 3.8 ± 44.5 and 8.8 ± 62.5, respectively, and the difference in the average of these two scores was statistically significant (P < 0.001). Conclusions: Based on the results, the intervention of training by spiritual self-care pattern (SSCP) can reduce stress and increase the resilience of spouses of veterans with PTSD.

Background: Familiarity with and management of drug side effects is among nurses' main educational needs with respect to pharmacological care in psychiatry departments. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effects of psychotropic drug education through mobile learning and group discussion on nursing students’ learning, satisfaction, and attitude. Methods: This educational intervention was done at EbneSina Psychiatric Hospital, affiliated with Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, in 2018. A total of 28 students were randomly divided into 2 groups, each containing 16 and 12 subjects. The first group underwent the educational intervention through mobile learning. The second group received the educational intervention through group discussion. The students’ learning and satisfaction were assessed and compared before and 2 weeks after the intervention. Attitudes were also assessed within the mobile learning group. Data were analyzed using paired and independent sample t-tests. Results: The results revealed a significant difference in satisfaction between the 2 groups after the intervention (38.69 ± 4.78 in the mobile learning group vs 33.13 ± 5.51 in the discussion group; P = 0.02). However, no significant difference was found after adjustment for baseline, age, and sex. The results also indicated that the students in the mobile learning group developed a significantly more positive attitude after the intervention compared to the baseline (P = 0.038). Conclusions: The study findings indicated that the utilization of smartphones for learning about psychotropic drug management in psychiatric departments might be effective in enhancing student's learning outcomes, satisfaction, and attitude. Thus, further studies with larger sample sizes are recommended to be conducted on other medical and nursing apprenticeships.
