Introduction: Employees' perceptions of their hospital, makes up the organizational climate. The job satisfaction of employees is one of the most common internal factors influence organizational climate. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between organizational climate with job satisfaction of employees in Ghods, Besat and Tohid hospitals in Sanandaj. Methodology: This research was a descriptive – analytical study. The sample of 189 nurses from three hospitals of Ghods, Besat and Tohid were participated in this study which was selected through census sampling in 2017 (Three groups of 63 people). The instruments that used in this study are JDI job satisfaction questionnaire and the questionnaire of organizational climate description by Halpin and Kraft. For data analysis, descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation test were used. Findings: There was a negative significant correlation between the variables of team spirit and harassment with job satisfaction (P

Intruduction: Today suicide is a major problem in the realm of mental health, and usually it has a psychological theme. Since the psychiatric patients gives so much attention in this scope, so, as a major aims of this study, studying the relation between suicide and demographic variables, psychiatric diagnosis and duration of mental illness among psychiatric patients is needed. Method: As an analytic-descriptive study, among all patients who have the inclusion criteria, those who admit informed consent (152 participant), complete questionnaires and other needed information’s. Then other necessary data’s were gives from the psychiatric documentations of the patients. Alongside data’s which gives from the patients and their hospital documentations, the Beck scale for suicidal ideation was used. The 20th version of SPSS software was used to analyzing data’s and it did through these statistical analyses: Pearson’s Coloration Coefficient, independent T test, and one-way ANOVA. Finding: With regard to statistical analysis there was not any significant relationship between suicide grade and demographic variables, psychiatric diagnosis and the duration of mental illness among patients. Conclusion: the distribution of the sample scores not relies on any demographic variables. It seems that cultural and social variables are important to keep in our mind. With taking account our limitations, further studies need to find exclusive and specific data’s.

Background and Objectives: The attitude of health care providers towards the elderly has an important effect on the quality of service delivery. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the attitudes of health staff in Gorgan towards the elderly. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, 395 health care providers in Gorgan in 2019 were selected by census sampling method and completed a questionnaire on demographic information and attitudes towards the elderly. Data were analyzed by independent t-test, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and one-way analysis of variance. Results: 73 participants (18.5%) had a good attitude towards the elderly, 319 (80.8%) had a moderate attitude, and 3 (0.8%) had a weak attitude. There was a statistically significant relationship between the overall score of attitude towards the elderly and job background (p<0.001). Conclusion: There was a moderate attitude towards the elderly in most of the participants. Designing and implementing more interventions is necessary to promote a positive attitude towards the elderly. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The museum of science and technology is a center based on science to present the up-to-date achievements of sciences and technologies from all over the world with the goal of improvement in knowledge and science of society by exhibits, equipment and devices, how people can learn science practically. On the other hand, the museum of science and technology is a place for presenting sciences that convert to visual and practical actions and exhibits that visitors, based on their interest, previous knowledge and capacity, can learn new things in a simple way during a short course. Several valuable benefits have been presented by museums of science and technology from all over the world, such as useful scientific and non-scientific jobs, economic development, exchange of sciences between universities, research centers and other museums of science and technology. This review, evaluate the structure, goals and achievements of the museum of science and technology and its benefits for society, people, city and country. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) infection may contribute to the development of extra-gastrointestinal manifestations like cardiovascular diseases. Detection of Helicobacter pylori in Athrosclerotic plaques is a strong evidence for this association which may play a role in pathogenesis of atherosclerosis with classic cardiovascular risk factor such as hypertension and lipid profile. The aim of this study was to explore the influence of H. pylori infection on lipid profiles in a large community- based study. Material and Methods: A total of 1754 (50.8% Female & 49.2% male) subjects (age >25 years old) were selected randomely from Monica Healthy Heart Study project. H. pylori status was determined by IgG ELISA method. Subjects with titers > 30 Iu/ml were cansidered seropositive. Data were analazed by using statistical software Spss version 18 and probability values <0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: In multiple logistic regression analyses H.pylori infection did not show significant association with Lipid profiles (low HDL- cholesterol and High LDL- cholesterol) after controlling for age, sex, body mass index, hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, smoking and circulating hsCRP levels.(P>0.05) Conclusion: According to this large -- scale population- based study in large northern cities of Persian Gulf, there was no significant association between H.pylori IgG seropositivity and lipid profiles in both men and women.

Background: Based on previous studies, tobacco smoking generally and water pipe smoking particularly, have high prevalence in Bushehr province. This study is a new analysis of the Persian Gulf healthy heart study with goal of determination of prevalence and pattern of cigarette and water pipe smoking in Bushehr province. Materials and methods: A total of 3735 men and women aged 25 years old or higher from three districts of Bushehr province (Bushehr, Genaveh, and Deylam) were participated in the study phase I in 2003, from which 1833 persons (49.7%) were participated in the phase II 6 years later in 2009. Demographic data and pattern of smoking, either cigarette or water pipe, were collected with personal interview. Gender specific crude and directly standardized prevalence of cigarette and water pipe smoking was calculated for both phases of the study. Results: Prevalence of cigarette smoking were 11.9% and 7.5% for the first and second phase, respectively. 21.6% of men and 0.4% of women in the first phase and 13% of men and 0.7% of women in the second phase were cigarette smokers. Prevalence of water pipe smoking were 17.9% and 12.9% in the first and second phase, respectively. 10.7% of men and 25.8% of women in the first phase and 7.1% of men and 19.05% of women in second phase were water pipe smokers. Conclusion: Water pipe smoking in women in Bushehr province was significantly higher than other non- southern areas of Iran. More studies are needed to determine main causes of women tendency in water pipe smoking in southern provinces of Iran. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Muslims participation in Mecca & Medina (Saudi Arabia) for Hajj which is the largest organized annual mass gathering in the world. In addition of Hajj, many pilgrims attend in Saudi Arabia for Umrah that is performed year-round. This great human immigration is an important challenge of health care and infection control systems. Current study reviews the most prevalent infectious diseases among pilgrims during Hajj along with their mode of transmission and control. Materials and methods: A comprehensive search was done on PubMed, Science Direct & Google Scholar databases by using Hajj, Pilgrims, Infectious Diseases & Mecca as keywords. Our search was restricted to English & Persian papers from 1994 to 2014. Results: Overall, 97 papers were found. After omitting old and repeated reports, 64 articles were reviewed finally. Conclusion: Due to scale of Hajj and prevalence of various infectious diseases such as meningococcal infections, diarrheal diseases and Influenza preventive measures and vaccination are recommended both before and during pilgrimage. Pilgrims and health care workers must be educated about health hazards and protective behaviors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Most cities in our country Iran has been located on compactable frames caused by water flow from gorges and deltas. There have been a number of significant investigations on potential geo morphological factors which are considered as a threat to the integrity of our cities however villages and countryside locations and their glaciers have never been a matter of such attention. In Iran civil centers have great similarities in common however differ significantly in terms of artistic entity. Rural civil centers follow Quarter sequence. It primarily follows balance of water and ice then elongates to precipitate surfaces. Topographical maps of the city of Sanandaj reveal the fact that this area in turn follows these characteristics and indicates that this city has never been a focal point of civil growth. Ethnical alteration has also been a factor in this regard. Area under investigation was designated after evaluation of topographical maps of Geo. In this work GIS software was employed for analyzing cooperative effect of internal and external centers and isothermal rates of past and present obtained for city of Sanandaj and snow lines was evaluated then through right program. In the latter stage Surfer software was employed and cooperates of adiabatic. At the end all maps were overlade and topographical map was obtained for snow line and rural area disparity. Glacier summits were as high as 2000 and these change in rout has significant effects which in turn shows frigidity in fourth period. Shape of graphical illustration indicates high synovial shape which indicates the exertion of fridge in the region. Theses surfaces are formed primarily due to the movements of ice lines along with mountainous fridge summit. Pinpointing snow line through utilization of Right procedure shows that yearly temperature is of significant in 2000 meter height. Designation of different circus of 99 small and big sizes indicates that circuses played a significant role in construction of fridge line in the region. Distribution of rural areas in city of Sanandaj follows the exact fridge summits proves the overall identity of fridge summits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
