Abstract
Background and Objectives: Health status, lifestyle and previous history of pregnancies significantly affect pregnancy outcome however, many adverse pregnancy outcomes are preventable. This study aimed to investigate causes of hospitalization of pregnant women in delivery unit of Zanjan Ayatollah Mosavi hospital. Material and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the causes of hospitalization of 4830 women with gestational ages more than 20 weeks were investigated during 2009-2010. Data were collected using a check list including patients' chief complaint, women’s demographic characteristics and delivery history. Data were analyzed using descriptive test, chi square, and t-test in a confidence level of 95 %. Results: From 4830 hospitalized women, 1278 were hospitalized due to obstetrics complications. The mean age of women was 26.52±6.26 year. The mean gestational age was 264.24±21.40 days. The most common causes of hospitalization were rupture of amniotic membranes (49.1%), preterm labor (29.3%), meconium staining (15.5%), and hypertension (11.8%). The rate of caesarian section, male baby, APGAR score lower than six in the 1st and 5th minutes of delivery, hypertension, and twin pregnancies were high in preterm labors. Meconium staining and rupture of amniotic membranes were common in term and post term deliveries. Conclusion: Findings showed that the most common causes of hospitalization were rupture of amniotic membranes and preterm labor. It is necessary to conduct more research on the causes of these complications

Abstract
Background: In the hospitalization wards where phlebitis has an incidence and accounts for the most serious complications of environmental fluid therapy.
Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effect of structured nursing education programs in prevention of admitted patients’ phlebitis.
Methods: In this quasi-experimental study in which the post-test design with control and intervention group was used, 400 patients were randomly divided into two groups of 200. Data were collected by questionnaire including demographic questions and Jackson’s Visual Infusion Phlebitis (VIP) scale was used to evaluate the complications of peripheral vascular catheter (phlebitis). The findings were analyzed by SPSS 25 software.
Results: The mean score of phlebitis incidence in the hospital wards, whose nurses that had undergone such trainings, was significantly decreased (p<0.001) compared to the mean score of phlebitis occurrence in the wards, whose nurses represented the control group and had taken part in no such training programs. Moreover, the mean score of intensity of Phlebitis complications in the wards, whose nurses that were members of the experimental group, significantly decreased (p<0.001) compared to the mean score of phlebitis intensity among patients of the wards whose nurses represented the control group.
Conclusion: The findings of this study testify that holding a structured nursing education programs will be effective in checking the incidence of phlebitis and its complexity among the patients hospitalized in Imam Khomeini Hospital in Mahabad.

Abstract
Background: Gestational diabetes is one of the most common complications of pregnancy that has several effects on mother and baby.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence as well as maternal and neonatal outcomes in women with gestational diabetes.
Methods: This descriptive comparative study was carried out on all pregnant women who underwent 75 g glucose test and referred to Ayatollah Mousavi Hospital in Zanjan for delivery from September to March 2018. Data was collected according to the client's biography obtained by the gynecologist and also the available evidence of gestational diabetes. Data was analyzed by SPSS 25 software.
Results: The prevalence of gestational diabetes in the present study was 4.7%. The mean age in the group with gestational diabetes was 30.65± 6.9 years, which was statistically significant compared to the mean age of healthy mothers (27.93± 6.4) (P= 0.01). There was a statistically significant difference in the type of delivery between the two groups (P<0.001) as the delivery method was cesarean section in 70.6% of patients with gestational diabetes. Evaluation of pregnancy and neonatal outcomes between the two groups in terms of the need for induction (15.8% vs. 47.4%), cases of episiotomy (22.8% vs. 43.9%), cesarean delivery (63.2% vs. 26.3%) and the need for hospitalization of the infant in NICU (26.3% vs. 7%) indicated a statistically significant difference (P= 0.01).
Conclusion: This study did not result in a significant difference in maternal and neonatal complications, except for the need for NICU hospitalization and delivery.
