Human is spiritual dimensions that has legal status in health and disease. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the knowledge of nursing and midwifery students about patient rights in Iran Universities of Medical Sciences teaching hospitals’ in 2017. This study was a descriptive cross-sectional study in 2017 with convenience sampling method. Data was collected by a three-part questionnaire including demographic information, Knowledge about the Patient Rights Charter, and strategies for student information to deal with patient rights. Mann-Whitney and Spearman tests were used for data analysis. A total of 1219 undergraduate students participated in this study. The mean score of students' awareness of the Patient Rights Charter was 13.54±4.45 out of 29 points. 1007 students (82.61%) reported that education about patient right was sufficient. Direct correlation was between patient knowledge awareness score with pre-internship training (r = 0.461) and learning from instructor information (r = 0.512) and there was a negative correlation between self-education (r = -0.151) and other methods of information acquisition (r = -0.067). Given that most students did not consider the educational content taught in the field of patient rights to be effective, it can be concluded that these methods were ineffective and failed to convey the correct information. Therefore, revising of the Patient Rights Curriculum for Nursing and Midwifery students is recommended

The aim of this study was to determine the critical limits and optimal range of relative bulk density (RBD) obtained using proctor test (RBDProctor) and axial stress of 200 kPa (RBD200kPa) for a silty clay loam soil which were determined based on relative grain yield, relative shoot dry, relative height and relative root volume of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.). The relative values were obtained by dividing the absolute mean values of mentioned traits to observed maximum values of each trait. A range of soil bulk density (1.35 to 1.59 Mg m-3) was prepared in 10 bins (40 cm × 50 cm with 50 cm depth) using rollers of different weights. The bins were located out-doors after sowing sunflower and the weight of bins and drained water volume were measured daily. The soil water content was retained in the range of field capacity (FC) to 0.6FC through irrigation. The optimal ranges of RBDProctor and RBD200kPa were assumed to be the ranges in which the relative traits of sunflower were greater or equal to 0.95 of maximum value predicted by obtained equations fitted to relative data versus RBD. Sunflower yield was maximum at RBDProctor equal to 0.854 and the optimal range of RBDProctor based on relative grain yield was from 0.823 to 0.884. In this range sunflower relative grain yield was greater or equal to 95%. The corresponding values of RBD200kPa were 0.975, 0.940 to 1.009, respectively. This finding revealed that at the RBD values less than lower limit and greater than upper limit of starting restriction, unsuitable physical conditions reduce sunflower relative grain yield.

Today, diabetes is a global problem which affects more than 400 million people worldwide. Adherence to treatment in diabetic patients is one of the key factors in the process of treatment and recovery of these people. The purpose of this study was to determine the adherence to treatment in diabetic patients and it's affecting factors. This descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 320 diabetic patients with an average age of 59.8±14.35 years in 2017, in Rasool Akram and Firoozgar Hospitals of Iran University of Medical Sciences. Data were collected by A Two-part questionnaire includes adherence to treatment of chronic diseases and the correlations were verified by Spearman test. Average total score of adherence to treatment was 43. 11±33.13, which 62.82% of patients had poor adherence to treatment, 33.22% had moderate adherence to treatment, 2.96% had good adherence to treatment and 1% had good adherence to treatment. 52.5% of patients had diabetic foot and Adherence to the treatment was inversely associated with the onset of the diabetic foot. Adherence to treatment in diabetic patients was significantly low. There are some factors affecting adherence to treatment in diabetic patients that these factors should be identified for each patient.
