The present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of hold me tight program on reducing the caregiver burden of men whose wives suffer from breast cancer. The current study is experimental, with a single subject method of A.B.A design. The statistical population of the study included all men whose wives were diagnosed with breast cancer by an oncologist at Omid Hospital in Mashhad in 2018-2019. Three men were purpose fully selected from the mentioned community and participated in the hold me tight training program. The instrumentation included the Caregiver Burden Questionnaire (CBI) which was used in three stages (before the intervention, during the intervention and after the intervention). It was completed three times before the intervention, four times during the intervention, and three times after the intervention. The experimental group received 8 sessions treatment. Data were analyzed using Excel software and visual review methods of graphs (rising and falling of the dependent variable), indicators of percentage improvement, percentage of reduction in scores, variability and effect size. Data inference based on intra-situational and inter-situational analysis for each participant, has shown the effectiveness of hold me tight program on reducing the caregiver burden of men. This study suggested that the hold me tight program can be used as a suitable intervention to reduce the caregiver burden of men whose wives suffer from breast cancer and improve their marital satisfaction during the disease.

Different species of Pseudomonas bacteria are found in abundance in nature. Although they are weak pathogens but they have great importance in the food hygiene and health because they are psychrophilic bacteria and can grow and proliferate at refrigerated temperatures and can produce proteolytic and lipolysis enzymes. In this study, the simultaneous effect of different doses of microwave radiation and different concentrations of lactic acid and salt on Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria inoculated into veal parts were studied. In this study, 108 specimens were evaluated in 9 treatments per day, 0,3,6,9, 12 15. And after refrigerating, microbial tests performed including Pseudomonas aeruginosa count and TVN chemical test. The control group was treated with distilled water. The bacterial count was done in Pseudomonas Agar medium. The effect of various concentrations of acid, salt, and microwave time on the logarithm of the bacterial count was evaluated over a 15-day refrigerator by Mixed repeated measure Anova. The results showed that different concentrations of acid, salt and microwave time and their interactions had a significant effect on the mean logarithm number of bacteria during refrigerating period.
