Abstract
Background and Objective : Drug administration is considered an important aspect of patient care process and reporting the errors is needed to maintain safety. We aimed to investigate “Perspectives of Nurses about refusing to report the medication errors in Emergency Ward”.
Material and Methods : In this descriptive study, 94 Emergency nurses were recruited by census in 2011-2012. The instrument was a researcher-made questionnaire including demographic data and questions related to the causes and factors affecting the reporting of medication errors. Using SPSS-16 software, the data was analyzed by applying descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results: The nurses who did not report medication errors are 72%. The most common type of medication errors are infusion rate(33.3%) and wrong- drug dosage (23.8%). The most important reasons of medication errors are shortage of nursing staff (47.6%) and lack of pharmacological information (30.9%). Most common reasons for refusing to report the medication errors are fear of its negative effect on financial advantages, inappropriate or negative attitude of managers toward reporting errors and lack of importance of reporting from nurses י perspective.
Conclusion: Considering the high rate of refusing to report, it is needed to be created some appropriate conditions to enhance the rate of reporting and removing the barriers. Nursing managers should have positive reaction to nurses’ reporting.

Abstract
Background and objective: In accordance with general studies, the prevalence of psychological disorders is increasing worldwide in that it is the cause of one percent of mortality rate in the world esp. Iran. Because of susceptibility of women to psychological disorders and fewer studies in this field, this study aimed at evaluating mental health status of over- fifteen- year- old women in urban population of Gorgan, Iran.
Material and Methods: In this study, 1088 women aged over 15 were selected by randomized cluster sampling. The data was collected by demographic data sheet and General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28), and analyzed by Chi Square and Fisher Exact test.
Results: Based on our findings, the prevalence of psychiatric disorders is 17.5%. Based on cut-off score of 6 for each of the four disorders, Anxiety disorder and insomnia are with the highest prevalence (5.5%) and depression is with the lowest (3.1%). The Prevalence of disorders has positive significant relationship with variables like age, marital status and family history of addiction.
Conclusion: The prevalence of present study is average compared to similar reports. Nevertheless it is a necessity to have further attention to the mental health of women and it is essential to train efficient workforce and provide appropriate facilities in order to give mental health services to both rural and urban population.

Abstract
Background: Physical activity reduces the risk of Coronary Heart Disease (CHD). The precise mechanism for reducing CHD risk after physical activity has not been determined. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between physical activity and some biochemical parameters in patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS).
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on patients with ACS referring to Heshmat Medical Center in 2016. Convenient sampling method was used and 280 eligible patients with ACS were included in the study. For data gathering the checklist was used for demographic characteristics of patients and biochemical parameters and the Baecke Questionnaire was used to assess the patients’ physical activity. The data were analyzed in PASW Statistics for Windows, Version 18.0. Chicago: SPSS Inc. using Spearman correlation and multiple regression analyses. The significance level was set at P>0.05.
Results: The results showed that 67% of the patients were male and the mean age of the patients was 62.38±12.01 years. The BUN blood urea nitrogen (r=-.121 and -.177) and blood creatinine level (r=-.259 and -.185) had a significant correlation with physical activity in general and at the work hours, (P<.05). However, these correlations were poor, and only the correlation between the creatinine level and physical activity at work was moderate.
Conclusions: The correlation between physical activity level and biochemical parameters was not observed in our study. However, because the protective effect of physical activity on the cardiovascular system is clearly observed, it is suggested that appropriate physical activity and regular fitness be incorporated in the care plan for patients with cardiovascular diseases. Further clinical studies are recommended.

Abstract
Background: Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is a transitional stage between normal cognitive aging and dementia, often marked by noticeable cognitive decline without significant interference in daily activities. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and determinants of MCI among older adults in urban and rural areas of Kermanshah City.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 506 older adults recruited from urban and rural areas using a cluster random sampling method. The participants completed assessments of cognitive function, social relationships, stress management, and socio-demographic factors. Logistic regression analyses and the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests were performed to examine the associations between these factors and MCI using SPSS version 25.
Results: The prevalence of MCI was 21.9% overall, with a higher prevalence in rural areas. In both areas, social relationships (urban: p = 0.001; rural: p = 0.04) and age (urban: p = 0.001; rural: p = 0.013) were significantly associated with MCI. In the rural elderly, education (p = 0.02) and economic situation (p = 0.012) were significant predictors, while in urban areas, gender (p = 0.002) and stress management (p = 0.001) were key determinants.
Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of considering psychosocial factors, such as social relationships and stress management, in understanding cognitive health among older adults. Targeted interventions are needed to address the higher prevalence of MCI in rural areas. Further research should explore strategies to improve cognitive health in aging rural and urban populations.

Abstract
Background: Personality traits significantly influence professional and occupational behaviors, allowing for the prediction of specific actions in various work-related contexts. Additionally, these traits play a crucial role in the development of self-control. This study aimed to evaluate personality traits and their association with self-control among nurses working in the emergency departments (EDs) of hospitals.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Kermanshah, Western Iran, in 2022. The study sample comprised 154 nurses working in the EDs, selected using convenience sampling. Data were collected using the NEO Five-Factor Inventory and the Nikmanesh Self-Control Questionnaire. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 25, employing descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, ANOVA for group comparisons, and Pearson’s correlation, with a significance level set at 0.05.
Results: The mean age of the participants was 33.5±6.2 years (range: 23 to 54). The findings showed that there was a significant correlation between the components of personality traits and restraint in nurses (P<0.001). Personality traits can explain restraint in nurses working in EDs. All subscales of restraint were also significantly correlated with negative personality traits, except impulsivity and risk-taking.
Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that personality traits significantly influence the self-control of nurses. Notably, stronger personality traits in all dimensions, except neuroticism, are inversely related to the self-control scores of nurses. Consequently, measures should be taken to improve the performance and job quality of nurses.
