The quality of nurses' services is directly related to the effectiveness of health services. Therefore, nurses as the most important health Provider group, they should have high quality of life in order to improve the quality of medical services. The aim of this study was to determine the quality of life of nurses working in hospitals in Kashmar in 2018. This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 230 nurses working in hospitals in Kashmar who were selected through a total number of sampling. The data were completed by qualified nurses using a demographic questionnaire and quality of life questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 16 and analyzed by descriptive and statistics analytical. The mean score of nurses' quality of life was 11.55 ± 65.39 and level of quality of life of nurses was moderate. Only 17 percent of nurses had high quality of life. The highest score among the four dimensions of quality of life is related to the physical dimension. Also, nurses in the administrative department and headquarters have the highest score in quality of life. Sexuality, employment type, ,Attending the post, the most type of working shift, nursing interest, daily working hours and hours of monthly study are effective in quality of life. It seems that paying attention to the needs and desires of nurses and correcting their problems, according to their opinions, is very important in the efficiency of hospitals. Therefore, planning should focus on the factors affecting the quality of life of nurses, including their demographic characteristics.

the quality of life in renal transplant among ESRD patients have been identified the best treatment. This study, was done with the aim of “Quality of life in renal transplant recipients” done. This cross-sectional study was done in 81 patients with kidney transplantation in Tehran in 2012, with simple sampling. Data collection tools include a demographic data collection form and a questionnaire which measured quality of life (SF-8). Analytical and test SPSS 15 software was used to analyze the data. The results showed that the quality of life in renal transplant recipients was average (75.3%). And 23.9% were low quality of life in renal transplant recipients. Between the quality of life, duration of disease and the expected significant links were found on the list (P=0.002); but the evaluation of the quality of life was not significantly associated with demographic variables (P >0.05). In this study, the majority of recipients were reported to be moderate given the high financial cost of the transplant and impose stress on patients and their families, studies to identify the factors disrupting the quality of life is established.Discussion and In this study, the majority of recipients were reported to be moderate. Given the high financial cost of the transplant and impose stress on patients and their families, studies to identify the factors disrupting the quality of life is established.

Diabetes may lead to several chronic complications but less was studied about anxiety disorders. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the association between anxiety disorders and the quality of life (QOL) in diabetic type two (DMT2) patients. This descriptive- analytic study was conducted on 330 DMT2 patients referring to panje Azar hospital in Gorgan, Iran. The Data was collected by demographic checklist, Beck Anxiety Inventory & WHO QOL-BREF questionnaire, and analyzed by Chi square test and Pearson correlation coefficient (P ≤0.05). The participants were male (35.45%) and female (64.54%). The overall quality of life was reported unsatisfactory in 37.3%, satisfactory in 55.5% and highly favorable in 5.5 % of the participants. There was an inverse correlation between QOL and anxiety disorders (P ≤0.001), and the only variable having significant correlation with QOL was previous coexisting disorders (P≤0.05). Anxiety disorders in DMT2 patients can have negative effect on quality of life. Hence, early diagnosis, treatment and prevention may result in improving quality of life.

Responsiveness is a concept introduced in the mid-eighties by bio-medical researchers. It is considered as a fundamental feature of health-related quality of life questionnaires, which was different from reliability and validity. Responsiveness is defined as the ability of an instrument to detect the minimal clinically important differences. Most authors agree that responsiveness focuses on the ability of a criterion in measuring changes, but there is a wide variety of opinions about the nature of quantified change. This review study was performed to determine the responsiveness by using the valid and available articles. Keywords of "responsiveness" and "quality of life" were searched in Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), ProQuest, PsycINFO, Science Direct, Scopus, and Medline databases. Multiple definitions for responsiveness and different procedures for calculating it were investigated in various studies. A total of 30 articles were used as references. Responsiveness has been divided into two groups: External and internal. “Internal responsiveness” is defined as the ability of a measure to change overa specified time frame. “External responsiveness” reflects the extent to which changes in a measure over a specified time frame relate to corresponding changes in a reference measure of health status. Despite the fact that some authors consider the responsiveness as the most basic characteristics for assessment of a tool, its measurement methodology is different. Meanwhile, there are different methods to assess responsiveness, but the researchers used one of them, and in development and validation of quality of life questionnaires must be regarded.

Renal transplantation as a treatment of choice in most of the patients with ESRD (End Stage Renal Disease) improves physical domain of quality of life, but because of the effects of immunosuppressive drags, ongoing medical care may be required, and this problem influence on psychological, economic, and social status, and therefore quality of life. The objective of this study was to evaluate physical and psychological domains of quality of life in kidney transplantation patients in Kerman City. In this descriptive analytical study, quality of life of 105 kidney transplantation patients in Kerman city was assessed using SF36 questionnaire. The data were analyzed by Statistical Tests, such as independent t-test, Spearman’s correlation coefficient, and ANOVA. Significance level was considered to be p<0.05. The mean score of quality of life in kidney transplantations patients was 60.95±18.01, physical domain score was 59.77±14.78, and psychological domain score was 62.58±10.22. The maximum score was related to role limitation due to physical problems (72.25) and minimum score was related to general health (58.25). Analysis of the psychological domain scores according to demographic variables showed no significant difference, but in the physical domain, this difference was significant in terms of age and marital status (p≤0.05). The results of this study showed that kidney transplantation patients have relatively favorable quality of life, and psychological domain scores of quality of life were higher than those of physical domain.

The purpose of this study was to translate "Cerebral Palsy Quality of Life" (CPQOL) questionnaire into Farsi and to determine its validity and reliability. In this cross-sectional study, CPQOL was first translated into Farsi through 5 stages, and then its validity and reliability. 200 parents of children with cerebral palsy aged 4-12 years were recruited from 8 selected rehabilitation center and 3 special education schools. Reliability (internal consistency and test-retest within a 3-week interval) and construct validity with Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) and Manual Ability Classification System (MACS). Spearman's correlation coefficient was used to asses the relationship between CPQOL and GMFCS- E & R (0.18-0.32) and between CPQOL and MACS (0.13-0.40). Item discriminant validity was shown by %75 of items. Cranach’s alpha (0.61-0.87), SEM (4/8-15.27), interaclass correlation (0.47-0.84) showed high reliability of Farsi CPQOL questionnaire. Farsi version of CPQOL has acceptable validity and reliability rates. It is now useful enough to be used for clinical as well as research purposes.

The aim of the study was first to translate the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form KDQOL-SF (version 1. 3 (Questionnaire into Iranian and then to assess it in terms of validity and reliability on Iranian patients. The questionnaire was first translated into Farsi by two independent translators، and then subsequently translated back into English. An initial test-retest reliability evaluation was performed on a sample of 20 patients from the total group (212 patients with end stage renal disease)، over a ten day interval. Afterwards، reliability was estimated by internal consistency and validity was assessed using known group comparison and construct validity on the patient group as a whole. Finally، the factor structure of the questionnaire was extracted by performing exploratory factor analysis (EFA (. All of the scales in the questionnaire showed good test–retest reliability(all above 0. 7(. All of the items met the minimal criteria (i. e. 0. 7 (for internal consistency and Cronbach''s α ranged from 0. 73 to 0. 93. To test construct validity، we examined correlations of the kidney disease targeted scales and overall health rating scale. The majority of items correlated significantly with the overall health rating. Furthermore، results from a discriminate validity evaluation showed that the questionnaire could be used to discriminate between subgroups of the patients. Finally، a principal component analysis of the disease specific scales indicated that this part of the questionnaire could be summarized into a two-factor structure (disease burden and patient satisfaction (that jointly accounted for 63 % of the variance. The Iranian version of the KDQOL-SF questionnaire is both highly reliable and valid for use with Iranian ESRD patients.

The postpartum period is associated with great changes in women's quality of life. These changes can influence mother-baby health. Regarding the importance of quality of life and postpartum, and effective factors on postnatal quality of life including the mode of delivery, this study was conducted to compare quality of life in women after vaginal delivery and cesarean section at 8 weeks postpartum. In this prospective analytic study 420 pregnant women aged 16-35 years who referred to health center without history of general medical conditions, psychological and pregnancy problems, drug intake, and without experiencing stress at 9 past months were recruited using nonprobability sampling. Subjects completed Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) during the third trimester pregnancy and subjects with EPDS score>12 were excluded from the study. From 290, 148 in normal vaginal delivery group and 142 in cesarean section group were followed up at 8 week postpartum. Quality of life in physical, psychological, social, environmental and overall domains was assessed and compared using WHOQOL BREF questionnaire. At 8 weeks postpartum in NVD group the mean score of quality of life was 75.01±11.74 for physical domain that was significantly higher than the mean score of QOL for physical domain in C/S group (70.54±10.48) (p=0.000). In NVD group the mean score of quality of life was 73.14±14.71 for psychological domain that was significantly higher than the mean score of QOL for psychological domain in C/S group (69.23±13.71) (p=0.024). There was no statistically significant difference between two groups in social, environmental and Overall domains. According to the results of this study, the score of quality of life in NVD group was better than C/S group on physical and psychological domains; health care provider for correct choice of mode of delivery can be effective in reducing elective cesarean and improving quality of life after delivery.
