    Background
    Breathlessness is a multifactorial problem caused by multiple pathways and thus lends itself to a range of interventions, each targeting a specific mechanism. For a start, the aging process affects respiratory function and decreases lung elasticity and respiratory muscle strength, which results in forced vital capacity reduction. Moreover, many conditions, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, can cause breathlessness. There is no single intervention to relieve breathlessness, particularly when we are dealing with chronic refractory breathlessness. This study aimed at conducting a review of studies on non-pharmacological breathlessness management in older patients.
    Methods
    This review study used the (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses) PRISMA protocol to select appropriate resources. Two journal databases of CINAHL and MEDLINE were searched in this regard. The inclusion criteria were as follows: original articles available in full-text, peer-reviewed articles written in English from 2008 to 2018, articles focus on non-pharmacological interventions with samples of the older people or patients (≥65 years old) complaining of dyspnea or breathlessness.
    Results
    There were five articles which met all the above criteria. They used non-pharmacological treatments of (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Simulation on acupoints) Acu-TENS, cognitive behavior therapy, inspiratory muscle training, and yoga. Most of these interventions had been applied in older patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and then patients with thoracic malignancy and lung cancer in that order. 
    Conclusion
    Based on the results, these non-pharmacological treatments show potential benefits in improving breathlessness for older patients. However, issues such ::::as char::::acteristic of the sample, including co-morbidities and smoking history, and the size of the sample should be considered.

    Background
    Healthy lifestyle is the mainstay of improving people’s health. Also, self-care helps increase the quality of life and maintaining independence. This study aimed to determine the relationship between health-promoting lifestyle and self-care behaviors in patients with heart failure.
    Methods
    In this predictive correlational study, a total of 200 patients with heart failure were selected by stratified proportionate to size sampling method from the patients referred to cardiac clinics of hospitals affiliated to Iran University of Medical Sciences. The study data were collected by the Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLPII) and the European Heart Failure Self-care Behavior (EHFScB) scale. Then, the obtained data were analyzed by ANOVA, the Independent t-test, the Pearson correlation coefficient, and linear regression in SPSS V. 16.
    Results
    The Mean±SD score of health-promoting lifestyle was 120.83±23.13; which is lower than the median tool score of 130. more than half of the subjects (58.5%) had an average level of self-care behavior, and their Mean±SD score was 34.8±9.03. There was a positive and significant correlation between lifestyle and its dimensions with self-care behaviors (P<0.001). Health responsibility, physical activity, and nutrition were significant in the regression model (P<0.05) and health responsibility was the most effective one in predicting self-care behavior in patients with heart failure.
    Conclusion
    According to the findings, health-promoting lifestyle and its dimensions have a positive and significant relationship with self-care behaviors of patients with heart failure. It is recommended that health care providers, planners, and nurses, especially those involved in community health nursing, make every effort to empower patients in assuming responsibility for their care.

    Background
    Pain management of children with a burn is one of the most important issues in pediatrics medicine. Non-pharmacological methods of pain control can play an important role in suitable some patients. This study was aimed conducted with the aim ofto investigating investigate the effect of Medical-directed play on the severity of pediatric pain during burn dressing change in children.
    Methods
    A randomized controlled trial was conducted on 82, 3- to 6- year-old children referring to a burn center in Tehran, Iran, for their first burn dressing change. The children were assigned into control (n=41) and intervention (n=41) groups by random allocation method. The Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) scale was used to measure the severity of pain before and during the dressings. The arterial blood oxygen level and pulse rate were also measured by a pulse oximeter. In the intervention group, the children were taught about the dressing steps 15 minutes before starting the procedure using a doll. The control group received routine care. The pain intensity, pulse rate, and arterial blood oxygen were compared between the groups by the Independent t-test, Paired t-test, Chi-square, and Fisher’s exact exact-test using in SPSS V. 20. 
    Results
    There was a significant difference between the groups between regarding the mean score of pain intensity during dressing between the groups (P=0.041). A significant difference was also found in the mean heart rate of the groups during dressing (P<0.001). No significant difference was seen in the arterial blood oxygen saturation between the groups.
    Conclusion
    Medical-directed play effectively reduces pediatric procedural pain through children’s cooperation during dressing changes. This cost-effective, non-invasive technique can be widely used for pain management in children with a burn.

    Background
    Despite the decisive role of nurses in patient’s education, they have limited ability to carry out this responsibility. One of the reasons for this incompetence is insufficient nursing education programs. This study aimed to compare and contrast the effects of multiple teaching methods and conventional methods on knowledge, satisfaction, and performance of bachelorette nursing students.
    Methods
    We conducted a quasi-experimental study with pre-test, post-test design. A sample of 154 nursing students from Tehran University of Medical Sciences was selected and then randomized into experimental (77) and control groups (77). The control group received conventional teaching, and the experimental group received multiple teaching methods, including scenario writing, role playing, videotaping, and analyzing, in 12 weekly sessions. The obtained data were analyzed by the Chi-square and Mann-Whitney tests in SPSS V. 18.
    Results
    Multiple teaching methods did not affect nursing students’ knowledge. However, it resulted in higher student satisfaction (P=0.001) and improved performance with regard to patient’s education (P=0.001).
    Conclusion
    Multiple teaching methods may help students to educate, interact, communicate, and cooperate with patients more effectively.

    Background
    Osteoporosis is characterized by low bone mass and loss of the quality of bone microarchitecture. These changes increase the probability of bone fracture. This study aimed to determine the effect of an empowerment program based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) on the self-efficacy of older adults to prevent osteoporosis.
    Methods
    It was a randomized controlled trial with pre-test, post-test, and follow-up design. The participants were selected by convenient sampling method and randomly assigned to the intervention (n=38) and control (n=38) groups. The data collection tools were the Osteoporosis Self-efficacy Scale (OSEB) and Osteoporosis Health Belief Scale (OHBS). The intervention program was performed over a consecutive 4-week group education, and a 4-week individual follow up. The study questionnaires were completed before, immediately after the last session, and one month after the completion of the study. The obtained data were analyzed by the Chi-square, Independent t-test, and repeated measures ANOVA in SPSS V. 13.
    Results
    There was a significant difference between the groups in terms of the mean scores of OSEB and its subscales (P<0.05) and the OHBS (P<0.05) after the intervention. These differences were not significant in the control group in all domains (P≥0.05) except “perceived barriers of calcium intake” (P=0.04) and “health motivation” (P=0.02).
    Conclusion
    Education based on HBM is effective in promoting self-efficacy and osteoporosis preventing behaviors. Therefore, this kind of education is suggested for older adults to prevent osteoporosis.
