Based on Spearman, there is a significant relationship between levels of tension and education status (r= 0.192, P= 0.017). Other variables such as age, sex, ward, marital status, shift working, record of services, overtime and number of children show no significant relationship with occupational stress.

Volume 10, Issue 0 (Supplementary 2013)
Abstract

  Background and Objective: Type 2 diabetes is a major public health problem with increasing morbidity and mortality. Complementary therapies are widely used by the people with diabetes. Massage therapy (MT) is an increasingly popular complementary therapy. Since few studies have been conducted on the effect of MT on people with diabetes, we aimed to investigate the effect of massage therapy on glycemic control (FBS, HBA1C) in women with diabetes.

  

  Material and Methods: this clinical trial was conducted on fifty women with type 2 diabetes selected by convenience sampling and placed randomly in treatment and control groups. The test group received 30 mins-long massage therapies in a week (10 sessions) and the control group received just standard care. Glycemic control indices including HbA1C, FBS were measured at baseline, after 10 weeks of therapy and then analyzed by paired-t test and MANOVA (p≤ 0.05) .

  

  Results: the mean and standard deviation of HBA1C of massage group (7.18±0.14) was significantly (P < 0.01) different from control (8.06±0.22) and the difference of FBS in massage group (1.46±5.28) from control (1.6±4.87) was meaningful statistically (P < 0.05).

  

  Conclusion: accordingly, massage therapy can be useful for glycemic control (FBS, HBA1C) in women with type 2 diabetes.

Using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Oswestry Functional Disability Questionnaire (ODQ), the Pain and functional disability variables were measured, respectively.‌ To analyze the data, we used independent t-test and correlation coefficient-(p<0.05).
Results: The findings showed that 55% of the nurses have different intensity of low back pain (LBP). ‌The LBP and monthly working hours (r=0.55), LBP and functional disability (r=0.53), LBP and age(r =0.30), and LBP and record of services (0.29) were significantly correlated, But it was not the case‌ for‌ LBP and gender.
Conclusion: Based on the findings that about 55% of the nurses suffer from low- back pain, ‌it seems that ‌a comprehensive change in life style and physical activity pattern of the nurses are paramount importance.

Abstract
Background and Objective: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide. Thus, we aimed to determine the effect of stress inoculation group training on the hope and quality of life in women with breast cancer. 
Material and Methods: This experimental study was conducted on 60 randomly selected women in chemotherapy ward of Razi hospital in Rasht, 2011. The instruments were Schneider hope and quality of life (SF-36) questionnaires. Of 60, 30 eligible patients were randomly divided into control group with no training and experimental group with stress inoculation training. 
Results: Before intervention, the two groups were matched with demographic variables, hope and quality of life score. The results showed that the stress inoculation group training is effective both on hope and quality of life. Furthermore, the effect of this approach on quality of life was more than hope score (P=0.001). 
Conclusion: Stress inoculation group training is highly effective in improving the hope and quality of life in women with breast cancer. To be sure about its permanent effect, further research with follow-up period is needed.
