Abstract
Background and aims: more than one third of Iran's population is under 18 and prevalence of aggression in this group is high Because of the important role of adolescents as the architects of the future of countries, aggression should be considered as a very serious matter as it can adversely affects their physical and mental health.
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of anger management training in groups on aggression of 12-15 years old male students.
Material and Methods: This study is a semi-experimental research and 60 male students, aged between 12 and 15 years old were selected based on multi-stage random sampling. Measurement tools of the research included: demographic data questionnaire and Eyscenk aggression questionnaire. The resulted data were analyzed by means of SPSS software.
Results: The comparison of mean aggression between both groups before and after intervention using independent T test showed that immediately after intervention a significant statistical difference appears between two groups (p= 0.000). There were also correlations between aggression and many of demographics.
Conclusion: The findings of this study indicates that anger management training in groups has an impact on the aggression of 12 - 15 years old male students and this intervention could by applied in other situations dealing with adolescents.

Abstract
Background & Aim: Myocardial infarction is an important event and a huge change in patients' and their family life. The negative psychosocial consequences of the disease are well documented. However, studies on positive effects following myocardial infarction are much more limited. The aim of this study was to explore positive effects of illness following acute myocardial infarction.
Material & Methods: This paper is a part of findings of a more extensive grounded theory study. Eighteen people with first time myocardial infarction were selected by purposeful and theoretical sampling. Semi-structured interviews were used for data collection. The data were analyzed using constant comparison method
Results: The findings showed that the participants have experienced one or more positive effects of the disease. Positive effects of illness were emerged in three main categories including: healthy lifestyle, worthwhile life/health, and promotion of social interaction/ interpersonal relationship.
Conclusion: Patient with myocardial infarction experience huge tensions. However, the disease would also result in positive effects which could, in turn, facilitate recovery from illness and the process of adjustment to illness.

Abstract
Background & Aims: Increasing number of retirees and improved life expectancy has been resulted in increased retirement years. The status of Iranian nurses seems to be different from nurses in other countries yet no model has been proposed regarding the adaptation of nurses with retirement. The aim of this study was to propose an adaptation model for retired nurses.
Material & Methods: It was a qualitative grounded theory study. The participants were 20 retired nurses from Semnan city who were recruited by purposeful and theoretical sampling. In the first stage data was generated by semi- structured interviews. Field notes were also used as data. Data collection and analysis by constant comparison was done simultaneously using Strauss and Corbin method. In the second stage, the model of adaptation with retirement was composed using the themes emerged in the first stage and literature review according to the Walker and Avant method.
Results: the proposed Model included some stages for nurses’ adaptation with retirement: preparation for the experience of retirement, identity reconstruction strengthening, optimum use of supportive factors, attention to negative interactions, and providing facilities for a normal life.
Conclusion: Since retirement is not a mono- stage, simple transition process, but is an adaptation process that occurs during time, the proposed model would help nurse retirees to control stressors and imbalances in their lives and adapt with retirement successfully.

Abstract
Background & Aim: New graduate nurses bear high levels of stress which could lead to unpleasant personal and professional outcomes. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral group intervention on the stress levels of new graduate nurses.
Material & Methods: It was a quasi-experimental pretest -posttest study with control group. A total of 80 new graduate nurses were first recruited by purposeful sampling and then were randomly assigned into two experimental and control groups (n=40). Eight, 90 minutes sessions of cognitive behavioral group intervention was performed for the experimental group two times a week. Control group received no intervention. The data was collected before and after the intervention by “Expanded Nursing Stress Scale” and analyzed by inferential statistics such as chi-square and independent T test using SPSS- PC (v. 20).
Results: The findings showed that the mean score of stress level has reduced significantly after the intervention (from 44/44 to 29/44) (p<0/001). No significant reduction was found in the stress levels of control group (p=0/276). There was also a significant difference between the mean score of stress levels of the two groups after intervention (p<0/001).
Conclusion: According to the findings cognitive behavioral group intervention can reduce the stress levels of new graduate nurses. Therefore, using this intervention in the beginning of new graduate nurses’ work is suggested.

Abstract
Background & Aims: Respiratory diseases are the common cause of hospitalization of preterm infants in neonatal intensive care unit. Although mechanical ventilation has saved many infants' lives, like other treatments; it has not been without harm. Developmental care intervention is a potential method for reducing the duration of mechanical ventilation in infants. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of developmental care interventions on duration of mechanical ventilation in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome.
Material & Methods: This quasi-experimental non-randomized study was conducted on 60 preterm infants of gestational age ≤33 weeks with respiratory distress syndrome who were divided into intervention and control groups. Infants in the control group received routine nursing care, and those in the intervention group received developmental care as well as routine care.
Results: Mean duration of ventilation was 3.63±2.94 days in control group and 4.06±3.05 days in intervention group, with no significant difference between the two groups (P=0.57).
Conclusions: According to the results obtained, developmental care interventions had no effect on duration of mechanical ventilation in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome.

Abstract
Background & Aim: Telemedicine and telenursing are two methods of remote care in improving the quality of patient’s care. The subject of the present study was to examine the knowledge and attitudes of nursing students toward telemedicine and telenursing in Ardebil University of Medical Sciences.
Materials & Methods: It was a cross-sectional and descriptive-analytical study. By using convenience sampling method, 184 nursing students were selected from nursing faculties affiliated to Ardabil University of Medical Sciences in 2016. The data were collected, using Glnkowski et al.’s questionnaire that were used after content validity and reliability confirmation. The data were analyzed, using SPSS 16 software, descriptive statistical tests, Spearman correlation coefficient, and Chi-squared test.
Results: The results showed significant differences in telemedicine and telenursing knowledge between the nursing students (P< 0.05). However, there was no significant difference between education and knowledge levels on telenursing. Moreover, 81.8% of students considered the use of telenursing in the healthcare system as necessary, and 72.3% believed that telenursing education should be provided in the nursing curriculum.
Conclusion: The results showed that the majority of students were familiar with telemedicine and telenursing terms and they had a positive attitude toward telenursing. Thus, it seems that the authorities should consider the development of telenursing through providing the required infrastructure and equipment in order to facilitate using this technology in nursing.

Abstract
Background & Aims One of the challenges in accurate and macro planning for the future is the uncertainty involved in estimating the future and rapid changes in various health-related fields. A powerful tool that can predict future competitive environments is the scenario planning tool. The current research aims to provide scenarios for the future of nursing education in Iran.
Materials & Methods This exploratory research was conducted in 2022. In the first stage, the drivers and trends of nursing education were identified using meta-synthesis, interviews, and the Delphi method. Then, the influence and uncertainty of the identified trends were rated using the opinions of a panel of experts. In the next step, using influence/uncertainty diagrams, the key factors for writing the scenario were identified. Scenarios were then designed by Scenario Wizard software, version 4.11, and strategies were presented.
Results The experts agreed on 6 drivers and 31 trends. With five key uncertainties, the scenarios were designed with three optimistic, realistic, and pessimistic assumptions. According to the size of the matrix and its dimensions (15×15), four problem-oriented, ethics-oriented, maintaining the status quo, and limited educational system scenarios were designed. The validity of the scenarios was examined according to feasibility, internal consistency, usefulness, and differentiability.
Conclusion Each of the four designed scenarios has the potential to be realized, but their occurrence depends on the current plans. The use of future planning methods, such as the scenario planning tool, can be used as a warning system for awareness of opportunities and threats in Iran's health system before a crisis.
