Abstract

Background and objective: Reluctance of dentists to treat HIV/AIDS patients represents a major concern.The present study was aimed to determine predictive factors of intention of dentists for providing dental care to HIV/AIDS-infected patients based on Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) constructs.
 Methods: In this descriptive-analytical study, 80 dentists in the city of Shahriar, near Tehran, were selected through census. A scale based on PMT constructs was developed and validated through qualitative content analysis by a panel of experts and its reliability by Alpha Cronbach. Data was analyzed using SPSS16 and tests such as Pearson correlation, one-way ANOVA, independent-samples t tests and multiple linear regression using the stepwise method.
Results: The mean age of participants was 38.21 (±7.57) years old 31 (38.8%) of the participants were women. Participants had an average of 117.98 (± 71.83) months of working experience. Among PMT constructs, self-efficacy could predict 54% variance of intention among the subjects (R2= 0.54, F= 24.28, p< 0.001)
Conclusion: For increasing the intention of dentists willing to provide dental care to HIV/AIDS-infected patients should be focused on developing interventions aimed at to increase their self-efficacy.

Effective communication skills in nurses lead to satisfaction of patients with nursing services, stress reduction in patients and speeding up their recovery. Therefore, the current study aims to determine the effect of educational intervention based on BASNEF model on communication skills of nurses with patients in hospitals affiliated to Tehran University of Medical Sciences.
Methods:This is a quasi-experimental study with a control group conducted on 96 nurses working in two hospitals affiliated to Tehran University of Medical Sciences in 2016. The participants were randomly selected from 17 hospitals of Tehran University of Medical Sciences. The data-gathering tools were a demographic questionnaire and a researcher-made questionnaire based on the structures of the BASNEF model. Educational intervention was performed based on the results of the pre-test in the intervention group in 3 sessions of 45 minutes. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS 18, statistical tests, Fisher exact test, independent t-test, ANOVA, and paired t-test.
Results: The results of this study showed that the mean score of knowledge, as well as the structures of the BASNEF model were significantly different from that of the control group’s after educational intervention (P<0.05), which confirms the effect of education on the basis of the BASNEF model.
Conclusion: According to the results of this research, education based on the BASNEF model leads to the development of communication skills with the patient in nurses. Therefore, the researchers recommend education based on this educational model.

Abstract

Background and Objective: Cancer is a chronic and debilitating disease and one of the prevalent side effects of cancer treatment is fatigue. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of education base on Pender's health promtion model on the level of fatigue and lifestyle of cancer patients.

Materials and Methods: The present study is an experimental before-and-after study with a control group. This interventional study involved 78 cancer patients selected through convenience sampling in 2023 and then randomly allocated to intervention and control groups using block randomization. All participants in both groups completed demographic information forms, the Cancer Fatigue Scale to assess demographic characteristics and fatigue levels before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using independent and paired t-tests, and non-parametric tests including the Mann-Whitney U and Wilcoxon tests. All analyses were conducted using SPSS20 (p=0.05).

Results: The intervention and control groups were homogeneous in terms of demographic indices and fatigue level before the intervention (P<0.1). After the intervention, the results indicated an improvement in all dimensions and a reduction in fatigue levels in the intervention group compared to the control group (P<0.05).

Conclusion: Education based on Pender's health promotion model has a significant effect on reducing the fatigue of patients undergoing chemotherapy and can help to improve physical and mental conditions and increase the quality of life of these patients along with drug treatments.
