Abstract
Background & Aim: Job burnout is common in caring professionals; and high levels of the same are registered in healthcare professionals, especially, nurses in intensive care units. The purpose of this study was to determine the burnout among nurses working in intensive care units affiliated to educational and therapeutic centers of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences.
Method: This is a cross-sectional descriptive study, which was undergone through a census sampling method in hospitals related to Mashhad University of Medical Sciences (n = 80) in the year 2011. Data were collected by Maslach Job Wear Inventory (MBI). The data were analyzed using SPSS 11.5 software.
Results: The mean of severity of depersonalization, emotional analysis and lack of individual success were 9.20 ± 5.25, 25.32 ± 12.57, 35 ± 8.27 respectively. In addition, age (r=-0.49) and work experience(r=-0.48) have a reverse linear relationship with the severity of the lack of individual success (p = 0.001).
Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that there is a high level of occupational burnout, especially in the aspect of individual inefficiency among nurses in special departments. Due to the high importance of these departments, more attention must be paid by the authorities to this workforce. Moreover, nurses should also be allowed to participate in organizational decision-making, which can prevent burnout and its complications to a high degree.

Abstract
Background & Aim: Identifying the weaknesses and strengths of nursing and midwifery articles using analytical and critique methods is important for knowledge generation and exploitation. This research aimed to perform a quantitative content analysis of nursing/midwifery articles in the last decade.
Methods: In order to analyze content of nursing/midwifery articles in the last decade quantitatively, year 2009 was selected randomly. Among 188 articles that published in that year, 168 articles were evaluated according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. The analysis tool was based on Burns & Grove (2007). Variables such as author characteristics, title, type of study, introduction, review of literature, abstract, statement of problem, goals, assumptions, variables, framework, research design, findings, discussion and conclusion and reference were analyzed statistically.

Abstract
Background & Aim: Non-Adherence is the biggest barrier for blood pressure control in the elderly. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of peer education on Diet adherence among elderly hypertensive client.
Methods: This study is a randomized clinical trial performed in health centers affiliated to Mashhad University of Medical Sciences. The Seventy-four years old people with hypertension were randomly divided into intervention and control groups. In intervention group, 45-minute training sessions with standard educational package are provided by peer for other elderly once a week for 6 weeks. In control group, the routine training package of health centers was hold by nurse for old people with hypertension for 45minute six sessions. A researcher-made questionnaire on diet Adherence was completed before the intervention, the end and also 3 and 6 weeks after the end of the training sessions. Data analysis was performed by SPSS with descriptive and statistical test.

Therefore, this study was conducted to compare the efficacy of two educational methods including telephone counseling with questions and answers and educational CD and pamphlets on self-care behaviors in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted on 50 type 2 diabetes patients randomly assigned to two groups that were trained by telephone counseling with questions and answers and pamphlets with CDs. The statistical population included patients over 30 years’ old who referred to Bala Khaf Comprehensive Rural Health Service Centers in 2020. Data were collected at the beginning of the study and two months after the training through valid and reliable questionnaires. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 21.
Results: The mean age of the patients receiving telephone counseling and the educational pamphlet were 61.76 ± 9.38 and 58.64 ± 6.80, respectively. Women comprised 60% of the study population. There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups in self-care behaviors. The mean score of the self-care behaviors were higher in one of the groups receiving telephone counseling with questions and answers (p <0.001). This difference was also observed in the patients’ self-care subscales (p <0.05).
Conclusion: Telephone counseling training with questions and answers was more effective on self-care behaviors of patients with type 2 diabetes. It is suggested that this educational method can be used to change the self-care behaviors of these patients.

Therefore, this study was performed to determine the effect of self-management program based on Model 5A on self-care and quality of life in elderly patients with hypertension.
Methods: This randomized controlled clinical trial study was conducted in 1400 with the participation of 60 elderly patients with hypertension who referred to the cardiac clinic of Mashhad Army Hospital. The elderly were selected based on inclusion criteria and then randomly assigned to intervention and control groups (30 people in each group). In the intervention group, a self-management program based on the 5A model was implemented in 5 stages of Assess, Advice, agree, Assist and Arrange over a periodof two months on the elderly with their caregivers. In the control group, routine care was performed. Data were collected using demographic information form and standard questionnaires of self-care behaviors and quality of life SF-36.

Results: The mean and standard deviation of the age of the elderly was 66.2±3.3. The mean and standard deviation of the total self-care score of the elderly after the intervention was 60.8±3.7 in the experimental group and 58.7±5.4 in the control group, which the mean deference between the two groups before and after the intervention was statistically significant (P = 0.01). Also, the mean and standard deviation of the total quality of life score of the elderly after the intervention was 90.9±5.4 in the experimental group and 75.6±4.2 in the control group, which was statistically significant (P<0.001). There was a significant difference between the mean scores of all dimensions of quality of life except general health in the experimental and control groups (P <0.001).
Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that the implementation of selfmanagement program based on 5A model is effective on self-care and quality of life of the elderly with hypertension. It seems that using 5A Model in the health system as an effective intervention can be effective in improving the health status of the elderly.
