  Casting is the most common treatment for managing limb fractures. Casts that are not properly provided or are not correctly cared for may hinder the healing of fractures. However, no study assessed the quality of care before, during, and after casting. This study aimed to investigate the quality of nursing care before, during, and after casting. A cross‑sectional
study was conducted on 188 patients with limb fractures referred to Shahid Beheshti Hospital in Kashan, Iran, from July to November 2018. The data collection instrument consisted of 57 items on the quality of care before, during, and after casting. Descriptive statistics and Fisher’s exact test were used to analyze the data. A total of 188 patients were assessed, 94 cases regarding the quality of care before and during casting and 94 additional cases for the quality of care after casting. The quality of care before, during, and after casting was at a moderate level in 83%, 58.5%, and 63.8% of patients, respectively. A significant connection was found between the quality of care before casting and the type of damage (P = 0.002). Significant connections were also found between the quality of care after casting and the nurses’ work shift (P = 0.05) and gender (P = 0.05). The quality of care before, during, and after casting was mostly at a moderate level. Educational interventio ns are needed for nurses to improve the quality of cast care.

Research is a key prerequisite for professional development in medical sciences. There is limited authoritative information about the barriers to student research. The objective of this study was done to identify barriers to student research from the perspectives of nursing and medical science students. This cross-sectional study was done in 2017, on 250 students randomly selected among nursing, medicine, and paramedic and health sciences students. A researcher-made, barriers to student research questionnaire was used for data collection. The questionnaire contained 32 items on personal, organizational, educational, environmental, technical, and quality- and result-related barriers to student research. The possible total score of the questionnaire and its subscales was 1–5. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, analysis of variance, and the independent-samples t-test. There were barriers in all domains; however, respectively, the most important barriers to student research were environmental (3.70 ± 0.72), technical (3.59 ± 0.6), quality- and result-related (3.29 ± 0.67) barriers. More educational barriers to research were reported by nursing students and those with less previous experience in research activities (P < 0.05). In order of importance, the barriers to student research are environmental, technical, quality- and result-related barriers. The findings of this study highlighted the importance of providing students with necessary facilities and counseling in the area of research.

Menopause is associated with complications that can affect women's attitudes. Women's attitudes toward menopause can help to improve their performance and reduce the severity of its complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Glycyrrhiza glabra (G. glabra) plant and exercise on the attitude of menopausal women.

This clinical experimental fourth group was conducted between October and March 2015 in Arak, Iran. 120 menopausal women were randomly selected and divided into four groups each containing 30 women. The first group had three G. glabra tablets daily for one month, the second group had a regular exercise program three times a week for 30-45 minutes for one month and the third group simultaneously took G. glabra like Group1 and followed exercise programs like Group 2 and the fourth group received no intervention. Before and one month after the intervention attitudes of women were compared with a researcher-made questionnaire. ANOVA, Chi-square and Paired t tests were used to analysis the data.

The results showed no significant difference between four groups in demographic characteristic. ANOVA results showed no significant difference between four groups in the attitude score of women before the intervention (P=0.937), but after the intervention there were significant differences between the groups (P=0.0001).

According to the results, G. glabra consumption and exercise program were effective in controlling the symptoms of menopause attitude of menopausal woman. Therefore, it may proposed as one of the main strategies for health and education interventions.

The studies on animal models have shown positive effects of Kelussia odoratissima on different health problem cases including digestive disorders. However, there has been no research on the effectiveness of Kelussia odoratissima on peptic ulcers in humans. In this study, "the effect of Kelussia odoratissima on the rate of improvement in patients with peptic ulcer" has been investigated.
The present study was a Randomized clinical trial which is done in March- September, 2015 in Amir Al-Momenin Hospital in Arak, Iran. The subjects were 60 patients with peptic ulcer, selected by simple random sampling and acquiring their informed consents. After taking written informed consent, they were divided into two groups randomly: the control group (administering prescribed medicines) and the intervention group (administering medicines along with Kelussia odoratissima powder). One month after intervention, the types of peptic ulcers were determined by follow-up endoscopy. Finally, the data was analyzed using SPSS v. 16 and statistical independent samples t-test and Fisher’s exact test.
The two groups were homogenous in terms of demographic features. The findings showed that the groups were not significantly different regarding the type of peptic ulcers (p= 0.91) before intervention; but one month after intervention, the highest frequency in the control group was related to the ulcers Type II and III, and the lowest frequency to the ulcers Type I, while the highest frequency in the intervention group was related to the ulcers Type I and the lowest frequency to the ulcers Type III and higher. Accordingly, Fisher’s exact test showed a significant difference between the two groups (p=0.008).
Given the results of the present study, it seems that administering Kelussia odoratissima powder along with the medicines effective for treating stomach ulcers has a positive effect on patients with peptic ulcer.

The concept of place and place-based policies, sense of place and place identity are important issues in political geography of the states. The sense of place is man’s sense of dependence on the place where he lives. In the present study, this sense is synonymous with or close to place experience, love of one’s place, place identity and roots. The present paper is an attempt to provide answer to the following question: why and how place as a geographical concept creates different sense including attachment and indifference among individuals and groups. In this research, sense of place (as an independent variable) is a factor that causes transformation of a space or ordinary place to a place with special sense and behavior among particular individuals. The sample of this research includes the Yasuji students in Tehran Universities. The research method employed in the present paper is descriptive-analytical. The data were collected through questionnaire and library resources. The results indicate that ethnic culture in the interaction with the public culture though influenced by the latter could preserve its traditions and represent its autochthonous identity via the use of verbal literature.
