This study aimed to assess the effect of the Chlorhexidine Glaciate 2% on prevention of local infection on temporary transvenous pacemaker catheter site. Materials and Methods: In this 7-month randomized controlled trial, 100 patients having temporary transvenous pacemaker were randomly divided into Chlorhexidine (n=52) and Betadine (n=48) groups. Before catheter insertion, the site (femoral vein) was disinfected with related solutions. Insertion site for redness, edema, tenderness and exoda were assessed daily and the dressing was changed using the same solution. Data were analyzed in the SPSS-16. Results: Redness and tenderness were less reported in the Chlorhixidine group (P=0.006). Edema has been occurred in both groups (p>0.05). Exude was not reported in any patient of the groups. Conclusion: The Chlorhexidine Glaciate 2% was more effective than the Beta dine 10% in prevention of temporary transvenous pacemaker catheter site local infection.

Abstract
Background: Given the importance of sex drive in marital satisfaction, evaluating the effectiveness of easy and cost-effective therapies in this regard is essential.
Objectives: The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral counseling (CBC) based on film therapy on the marital satisfaction of women with low sex drive.
Methods: This clinical trial was conducted on 300 women referring to health centers, and 50 women with low sex drive were selected based on the inclusion criteria via permuted block randomization. The selected subjects were allocated to the intervention (n=25) and control (n=25) groups. The intervention group received seven sessions of CBC based on film therapy, while the control group received no intervention. Data were collected using the marital satisfaction scale proposed by Afrooz before and after the intervention. Data analysis was performed in SPSS version 20 using Chi-square and MANCOVA.
Results: The results of Chi-square indicated that the groups were homogeneous in terms of demographic characteristics. In addition, the intervention and control groups had no significant difference in terms of marital satisfaction before the intervention. However, in the post-intervention phase, marital satisfaction significantly increased in the intervention group compared to the control group.
Conclusion: According to the results, CBC based on film therapy could improve marital satisfaction. Therefore, it is recommended that this therapeutic approach be adopted to enhance the relationship of the couples with low sex drive.

Abstract
Background: A health-promoting lifestyle (HPL) can affect a person’s quality of life (QOL) and prevent many diseases.
Objectives: The QOL and HPL of teachers and nurses are of great importance because of their influence on the community health and education of the new generation. The present study aimed to determine and compare the HPL and QOL of nurses and teachers in Zanjan, Iran in 2018.
Methods: This descriptive, comparative, cross-sectional study was performed on 395 teachers of governmental schools, who were selected by cluster sampling, and 182 nurses, who were selected by census sampling. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, health-promoting lifestyle profile (HPLP II) questionnaire, and 36-item short-form health survey (SF-36) questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted in SPSS version 16 by measuring descriptive statistics (absolute and relative frequency, mean, and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Levene’s test, and independent t-test).
Results : The results showed that most of the teachers were male (62.5%) and married (63.8%) with a bachelor’s degree (70.1%), while the majority of nurses were female (83%) and married (87.4%) with a bachelor’s degree (100%). Based on the findings, the HPL of nurses and teachers was rated as moderate (40.5% and 48.1%, respectively). Also, the QOL of nurses and teachers was at a moderate level (44.6% and 52.4%, respectively). Finally, the mean QOL and HPL were lower in nurses as compared to teachers (P<0.01).
Conclusion: The present results revealed that having knowledge is not necessarily associated with good performance. The QOL and HPL were moderate in both teachers and nurses, even nurses had a lower QOL and HPL than teachers. Overall, awareness of the importance of healthy behaviors does not always lead to improved self-care. Therefore, it is suggested to pay more attention to the improvement of occupational conditions, besides QOL and HPL of these two groups, especially nurses
