Read More INTRODUCTION: Today medical education is focusing on teaching human and communicationalskills, just like the basic theories in medicine. Making effective and efficient contacts andcommunications are very important in nursing. Although these studies had shown that these skillsare poor among nurses. Due to this, it is important to teach these skills to all health‑care providers.This study aimed to investigate the effect of communicational empowerment pattern on nursingstudent’s communicational competency.MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was conducted on 78 senior nursing students who werechosen randomly by the census method. Respondents were divided into case and control groups.In case group, the communicational empowerment method was conducted and in control group,no interventions were done. Data were collected by communicational competency questionnaire.Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and t‑test through IBM, SPSSversion 19, United States 2016. The significance level was considered 0.05 respectfully.RESULTS: The mean age was 22.23 ± 1.80. In the case of marital status, a number of 63 respondentswere single and 15 were married. The mean score of communicational competency in case group was112.38 ± 19.20 before intervention and 128.95 ± 11.98 after intervention. In control group, the meanscore of communicational competency before intervention was 107.55 ± 14.22 and after intervention,it was 117.11 ± 15.37. There was not any significant relationship between case and control groupsin the mean score of communicational competency before intervention (P = 0.0187), but a significantrelationship was assessed between case and control groups in the mean score of communicationalcompetency after intervention (P < 0.001).

Read More INTRODUCTION: Smoking is one of the leading factors of mortality in Malaysia. Most youngsters startat adolescence, fascinated by the concept of smoking. Interventions that harness the broad availabilityof mobile phones, as well as adolescents’ interest in their appearance, may be an innovative wayto advance school‑based prevention. This study aims to determine the perceptions of facial‑agingapps among secondary school students.METHODOLOGY: For this research, descriptive cross‑sectional study using simple random samplingmethod was used. Population sampling was targeted toward three government schools. The totalnumber of respondents is 383, with all of them aged between 13 and‑ 16 years of age. Legalconsiderations were taken to maintain the confidentiality of respondents. The specific objectivesare: 1. To determine the level of change of intention on smoking, 2. To know the perceived reactionsof the peer groups on the appearances of students as nonsmokers, 3. To determine whether thestudents learned new benefits of nonsmokingand, 4.

Read More AIMS: Improvement of general health literacy is one of the ways to achieve the desired publichealth condition. To this end, the first step is to determine the health literacy level and its associateddemographic factors in individuals.SETTINGS AND DESIGN: This study was a cross‑sectional, descriptive‑analytic survey conductedon 700 adults (age range: 18–65 years) in Bardaskan, Iran. The required samples were selectedvia random cluster sampling method.SUBJECTS AND METHODS: The demographic questionnaire was used to collect sociodemographicinformation. The Health Literacy for Iranian Adults questionnaire was used to determine the level ofhealth literacy in participants.STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Data analysis was conducted using SPSS software version 20 throughdescriptive and inferential statistics. Results were considered statistically significant at P ≤ 0.05.RESULTS: A total of 700 participants with a mean (standard deviation) age of 31.25 (9.32) yearsparticipated in this study. The primary sources of health information were physicians and healthstaff (50.9%) followed by the Internet (19.7%). The health literacy level of 18.1% of the participantswas inadequate, 27.7% was marginal, 39.4% was adequate, and 14.7% was excellent. The meanoverall scores of health literacy and its subscales were within the adequate range (66.1–84.0).

Read More INTRODUCTION: Protection against financial risks is one of the important goals of the healthsystem. The present study aims to determine the rate of exposure to catastrophic expenditures inthe insured inpatients.METHODS: The present study was cross‑sectional one which is conducted in 2016. The statisticalpopulation comprised all the insured patients presenting to a private hospital in Qom who presentedto the hospital within 4 months from December 2015 to March 2016. Random convenience samplingmethod was used, and the sample size was estimated at 267 people using Cochran formula.A questionnaire was employed for data gathering. Data were analyzed using Chi‑square test andlogistic regression using SPSS software version 20.RESULS: Patients exposed to catastrophic expenditures of treatment accounted for the 54.8% ofthe cases. The highest rate of being exposed to the catastrophic expenditures was related to theinsured patients of the Universal Health Insurance Fund (UHIF). People with rural insurance, onaverage, paid the highest cost of treatment in the hospital. The surgical ward and critical care unitaccounted for the biggest percentage of the patients who incurred catastrophic expenditures. Beingrural, longer length of stay, lower education of the head of the household, lack of supplementaryinsurance coverage, and being in UHIF coverage have a substantial relationship with being exposedto catastrophic expenditures.DISCUSSION: The socioeconomic status of the insured people in the UHIF and the Rural InsuranceFund was worse than other funds in terms of less utilization and higher rate of exposure to catastrophicexpenditures, and this issue requires the adoption of specific targeted policies for these groups inrespect with reducing out‑of‑pocket payments through mechanism such as stepwise copayments,maximum out‑of‑pocket limit, fee exemptions or waiver and providing supplementary insurance toreduce the exposure to catastrophic expenditures.
