Abstract
Background: Postpartum is a significant transition period for women and could be markedly stressful.
Objectives: Postpartum stress is a well-established risk factor for poor parenting practices and inadequate mother-infant interaction. The present study aimed to assess adaptation to motherhood and its influential factors in the first year postpartum in Iranian women.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed in an urban area in the north of Iran. Inclusion criteria were age of more than 18 years, primiparous women, having healthy children in less than one year postpartum, Persian literacy, and willingness to participate in the research. Ill and disabled women, those with a history of depression, and high-risk pregnancies were excluded from the study. Convenience sampling was employed in seven health centers, and 536 subjects were selected. Data were collected using the scale of the experiences of Iranian first-time mothers in maternal role adaptation and demographic questionnaires. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics and regression and ordinal logistic regression.
Results: None of the women had poor adaptation to motherhood. In addition, 2.6% of the subjects had average adaptation, 78.8% had good adaptation, and 18.6% had excellent adaptation. According to the logistic regression results, favorable economic status increased the possibility of appropriate adaptation by twice (OR=2.03; CI: 1.3-3.004; P<0.001).
Conclusion: Provision of proper counseling services requires the recognition of the influential factors in adaptation to motherhood. According to the results, adaption of women to motherhood in the first year postpartum largely depends on the economic support of the mother and infant.

Abstract
Background: Patients with stroke need professional care and identifying the palliative needs of these people is the basis for care planning by health managers.
Objectives: The present study aimed to determine the palliative care needs of stroke patients and the factors that affect these needs.
Methods: The population of this cross-sectional descriptive study was the patients referred to physiotherapy centers in Mako city in 1398. A total of 160 patients were selected based on convenience sampling. The data collection tool was a two-part questionnaire. In the first part, demographic characteristics and in the second part, the questionnaire of palliative care needs in specific patients was completed. Descriptive tests, mean comparison, and Pearson correlation was used to analyze the data using SPSS software version 16.
Results: The need for palliative care can vary in different fields. For example, having problems in daily life in the field of daily life activities (2.03-0.24), pain in the field of physical symptoms (2.36.07.07), dependence on others for care in the field of control over living affairs (1.72 1 0.82), tendency to talk about illness in the field of social problems, (2/71/71/71), fear of metastasis in the field of mental problems, (2.97 2 0.22), understanding the meaning of death in the field of spiritual problems (2.87 ± 0.48), and loss of income due to diseases in the field of financial problems (2.63 89 0.89). Independent group t-test showed that the mean scores of palliative care needs of patients referred to physiotherapy centers in the two groups of men and women were not significantly different (t=92.1, p=0.057). However, One-way analysis of variance showed that the average palliative care needs of patients referred to physiotherapy centers based on their level of education had a significant difference (f=486.4, p=0.014).
Conclusion: The results of the study showed that nurses and health system managers with knowledge of the needs of palliative care for patients with stroke can put training programs on discharge and disease management at home on their agenda

Abstract
Background: Hypothyroidism is common during pregnancy. This disorder is associated with adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes.
Objectives: The study of the prevalence and different consequences of hypothyroidism in pregnancy in each region is the special importance in determining prevention and management strategies. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of hypothyroidism and pregnancy outcomes in women referred to Ayatollah Mousavi Hospital in Zanjan.
Methods: This cross-sectional-analytical study was performed on all pregnant women who gave birth in Ayatollah Mousavi Hospital in Zanjan in 2018-2019. Data were collected through census and using Chi-square, Fisher's exact and independent t-tests and with SPSS software version 22, pregnancy outcomes between the two groups were calculated.
Results: The prevalence of hypothyroidism in pregnant women in the present study was estimated at 8.59%. Hypothyroidism was found to double the chance of gestational diabetes (p<0.02) (CI=1.1-3.8). The rate of cesarean delivery was significantly higher in patients (p<0.001). The rate of fetal heart rate drop, placental abruption, and placental adhesion was higher in the affected group, but this difference was not significant (p>0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of preeclampsia, preterm delivery, first minute Apgar score, height, weight and head circumference of the newborn (p>0.05).
Conclusion: Considering the adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes of hypothyroidism, it seems that more clinical studies in this field are needed to manage and evaluate the outcomes in pregnant women with hypothyroidism

Abstract
Background: Clinical staff are particularly prone to work-family conflict due to their professional nature and require interdisciplinary collaboration and social adjustment to increase their job motivation and achieving success in teamwork.
Objectives: The current study aimed to investigate the association between social adjustment and work-family conflict as well as organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) in hospital clinical staff.
Methods: This descriptive correlational study was conducted on all (n=115) nurses and midwives working in Khatam-al-Anbia Hospital in Salmas in 2019. Data were collected using 4 questionnaires of (1) demographic information, (2) social adjustment, (3) work-family conflict, and (4) organizational citizenship behavior. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 16 by Pearson correlation, independent t-test, and one-way ANOVA.
Results:: Most of the employees were female (84.5%), married (67.3%), had a bachelor's degree (90%) and had work experience of 8.77±7.18 years. There was a significant indirect association between social adjustment and work-family conflict (r=-0>.21, p=0.05). There was no significant association between social adjustment and OCB (r=-0.06, p=0.65).Conclusion: This study demonstrated an indirect association between social adjustment and work-family conflict in hospital clinical staff. Therefore, nursing managers can improve the quality of patient care by developing employees' adaptation skills programs intended to reduce their work-family conflict

Abstract
Background: Missed nursing care is defined as required care that has been delayed, partially completed, or not completed at all.
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the causes of missed nursing care from the viewpoints of employees in public, private, and social security hospitals.
Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 453 nurses working in five educational hospitals, four private hospitals, and a social security hospital in Urmia in 2018. Regarding data collection, the “missed care questionnaire” was distributed to nurses by convenience sampling method. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by the faculty members of Urmia Azad University, and the reliability of the questionnaire was assessed using Cronbach's alpha (0.9). The results were analyzed using descriptive statistics, one-way analysis of variance (p<0.05), and SPSS software version 16.
Results:: The most common reasons for missed nursing care in educational, private, and social security hospitals were the patients' emergency conditions (42.9%), the insufficient number of nursing assistants (38.7%), and an unexpected increase in the number of patients (18.5%). Moreover, the causes of missed nursing care in all three areas of communication, financial, and human resources were significantly different between educational, social security, and private hospitals (p=0.0001).
Conclusion: Lack of nursing staff, patients' emergency conditions, and an unexpected increase in the number of patients are the main reasons for missed nursing care in educational, social security, and private hospitals. Therefore, it is recommended to apply appropriate policies to provide nursing staff, manage the admission, transfer, and distribution of patients to the hospital.

Abstract
Background: Due to the nature of their carrier, nurses need to effectively communicate with patients, their families, physicians, and hospital managers at different levels. Therefore, they should acquire effective social communication skills to enhance teamwork and promote patients’ health.
Objectives: This study was conducted to determine the effect of promoting social competence based on the Flenner model on nursing students’ self-efficacy.
Methods: This semi-experimental study was conducted on 60 final-year nursing students of Urmia Azad University in 2019. The samples were randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. The data collection tool was a two-part questionnaire including demographic information and a functional self-efficacy questionnaire. In the intervention group, the educational program was conducted during six sessions of virtual education consisting of lectures and three sessions of group discussion. In the control group, no educational intervention was performed. Data were analyzed in SPSS16 software using paired t-tests and independent t-tests.
Results: The findings showed that the average scores of clinical self-efficacy and its domains in the intervention group, before and after the implementation of the social competence promotion training program, were significantly different (p<0.05). Moreover, there was a statistically significant difference between the intervention and control groups in the overall clinical performance self-efficacy scores after the intervention (t=5.21, p=0.006).
Conclusion: The results demonstrated that the teaching social competence promotion program based on the Flanner model could effectively promote nursing students' self-efficacy and clinical competence. This program can potentially teach communication and adaptability skills for better teamwork performance, interdisciplinary activities, and model-oriented nursing.

Abstract
Background: Occupational stress in nurses leads to job burnout and an increase in missed nursing care, and the incidence of work errors. Investigating the factors associated with occupational stress can assist nursing managers in supporting nurses, reducing and handling errors, and adopting appropriate policies.
Objectives: This study aimed to determine the relationship between work errors and stress sources, and perceived organizational support among nurses.
Methods: This was a correlational descriptive study conducted on 160 nurses working at the hospitals of Miandoab City, Western Azerbaijan province of Iran. The nurses were enrolled by the census from April to July 2019. The data collection tool was a 4-part questionnaire for recording demographic information, nurses’ sources of stress, perceived organizational support, and nursing work errors. The data were analyzed by SPSS21 software.
Results: Most of the nurses were female (61.8%), had a work experience of fewer than three years (43.75%), and had a bachelor’s degree (73.1%). The sources of stress were directly and significantly correlated with nursing errors in the dimensions of drug therapy (r=0.241, p=0.002), nursing care (r=0.685, p=0.014), and report writing (r=0.101, p=0.030). Also, perceived organizational support was significantly and inversely associated with nursing errors in the dimensions of nursing care (r = -0.190, p=0.016) and drug therapy (r = -0.182, p=0.042). Sources of stress, along with perceived organizational support, years of service, and the level of education, explained 8% of variations in nursing work errors.
Conclusion: The results of the study showed that an increase in the sources of stress and a decrease in perceived organizational support was related to a rise in work errors among nurses. These two factors, along with years of service and level of education, were among the predictors of nursing work errors. Therefore, it is suggested to pay attention to organizational support and manage stress sources in the work environment to reduce nurses’ work errors
