Abstract
Background: Breast milk is the most suitable nutrition for the neonates. Breast milk and breastfeeding duration can contribute to decreased mortality rate, intestinal bleeding, and various neonatal diseases (e.g., digestive and respiratory diseases). It can also reduce the risk of diabetes and obesity in childhood and adulthood. Therefore, the estimation of breastfeeding duration and recognition of the effective factors in this regard can lead to designing and implementing appropriate programs, which can provide the foundations for the modification of breastfeeding behavior.
Methods: This survival study was conducted on 501 mothers with healthy and single birth neonates born within March 21, 2011-September 21, 2012 with active medical records in Aqqala city, Golestan province, Iran, in the second half of 2014. The data were collected from the information registered at the archives of health centers by in-person visiting. In addition, some of the information was collected through phone contacts. The duration of breastfeeding was estimated in month. Data analysis was carried out using the Cox regression in the STATA software, version 11.
Results: According to the results, the mean and median of breastfeeding were 20.44 and 22 months, respectively. According to the Cox regression, maternal ethnicity, living with family, birth spacing, type of milk consumed along with complementary nutrition, and type of neonatal nutrition during the hospital stay of the infant had a significant relationship with the early cessation of breastfeeding.
Conclusion: Based on the findings of the present study and the identified factors affecting the breastfeeding duration, it seems necessary to provide the essential trainings for the young mothers and pregnant women to avoid of reducing the duration of breastfeeding. These educations can be included in the programs of the Health centers of the universities and urban and rural medical clinics.

Abstract
Background: The second victim phenomenon affects the physical and mental health of staff. Patient safety culture and the level of organizational support also affect the second victim experience and its consequences on the staff. This study was conducted to determine the relationship between patient safety culture and second victim experience in critical care unit and emergency department nurses.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed on 307 nurses working in the intensive care unit and emergency departments of hospitals affiliated with Zanjan University of Medical Sciences (Zanjan, Iran) in 2019. Data were collected using the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC), the Second Victim Experience and Support Tool (SVEST), and a demographic questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Pearson correlation coefficient. All analyses were carried out at a significance level of 0.05.
Results: There was a significant positive relationship between the patient safety culture and the second victim's supportive sources (P=0.001). However, the patient safety culture had no significant relationship with the second victim's distress rate (P=0.663) and its outcomes (P=0.164).
Conclusion: The results of this study show that improvement of patient safety culture is associated with an increased feeling of support among the nurses, which could ultimately reduce the rate of turnover and absenteeism. Therefore, nursing managers should provide more support to nurses, particularly after the occurrence of patient safety events, for reducing distress and preventing further errors.
