Context: Encouraging breastfeeding is a public health priority. However, no study is available from Iran on the effect of telephone follow-up on postpartum maternal attachment to the newborn. Aims: To assess the impact of postpartum telephone follow-up on breastfeeding and maternal attachment. Setting and Design: A clinical trial was conducted on 120 mothers who had a delivery at Alborz Hospital of Karaj during the spring of 2014. Material and Methods: Mothers were randomly assigned into three groups of 40. The groups one and three received breastfeeding training (BFT) and the groups one and two received telephone follow-up. Data were collected using a questionnaire. All groups had a pretest and a posttest on their knowledge, attitude, and performance toward breastfeeding. Mothers' attachment to their newborn was assessed at the end of the study. Statistical Analysis Used: Analysis of variance, Tukey, and Paired t tests were used for data analysis. Results: The BFT plus telephone follow-up could increase the mothers' scores in breastfeeding. However, telephone follow-up could not affect the maternal attachment scores. The mean attachment score was significantly higher in mothers with a planned pregnancy (P < 0.001), higher financial income (P < 0.01), and a girl baby (P < 0.014). Conclusions: This study confirmed the beneficial effect of BFT and telephone follow-up on mothers' knowledge, attitude, and performance toward breastfeeding. Therefore, integration of BFT and telephone follow-up in postpartum care programs are suggested.

Context: Considering the psychological component of multiple sclerosis (MS) in intervention could play a key role in patient compliance with their physical condition. Aims: This study examines the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) based on the fear of death in patients with MS. Setting and Design: The present study is a quasi-experimental study with a pretest, posttest, and control group. Material and Methods: The study population included 57 patients with MS who were members of MS association in North Khorasan Province, Shirvan city in 2016. Using the available sampling method, 30 samples were selected by random assignment and included in experimental and control groups (15 per group). The instrument used in this study was Templer fear of death questionnaire. The experimental group received eight sessions of therapeutic intervention. Statistical Analysis Used: Analytical and statistical analyzes are done by SPSS21.due to the nature of the plan and the two groups (control and test), the statistical method of analysis of covariance, and the effect size were used. Results: The results of covariance analysis showed that treatment based on acceptance and commitment has a significant effect on the fear of death in patients with MS (P < 0.001). In addition, the level of fear of death in the pretest stage was also significant on the fear of death in the posttest (P< 0.001). Conclusions: According to the results, it is expected that ACT maintains its effects in the long run with features such as: Encouraging people to live in the present moment, mindfulness, commitment to the pursuit of worthwhile goals, and an emphasis on process rather than the outcome.

Context: Adolescents with cancer are involved with a disabling disease that affects their various educational dimensions. Aim: The present study aimed at determining academic self-regulation and its relationship with Sternberg's thinking styles, academic achievement, and course of disease in adolescents with cancer. Setting and Design: The current study is a cross-sectional study Indeed, the participants were selected via simple random sampling method in the academic year of 2016–2017. Material and Methods: This study was carried out on 269 adolescents with cancer who were covered by Mahak Hospital and Rehabilitation Complex. Statistical Analysis: Data analysis was performed by descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, and mean with standard deviation) and analytical statistics (multiple regression coefficients and path analysis approach). Results: From the thinking styles, the legislative thinking style (b =0.301, P = 0.001) made the highest contribution to the prediction of academic self-regulation. With regard to the other research variables, the grade point average could significantly predict academic self-regulation (b =0.301, P = 0.001). However, the duration of cancer could not predict academic self-regulation (P> 0.05). Conclusion: The adolescent cancer patients with the legislative thinking style were more talented in learning self-regulation than the other students. In this regard, it is possible to take measures with regard to the identification of such students in schools and other educational centers in order to lay higher emphasis on the teaching of academic self-regulation to them.

Context: Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) decreases the signs and symptoms of ischemic heart disease, but it cannot treat the disease completely. Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine the changes in age and sex trend of patients undergoing CABG surgery from 1996 to 2013 in the north of Iran. Setting and Design: This retrospective study was done in an educational therapeutic center in the north of Iran. Material and Methods: The medical records of 8544 patients who underwent CABG surgery during 1996–2013 were assessed and age and sex of all patients who underwent CABG were recorded. Statistical Analysis Used: All data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and t-test, analysis of variance, and linear regression analysis in SPSS version 16. Results: The mean values of age were increased in both men and women in this period and this increase was statistically significant by t-test (P = 0.0001). Nearly 65.2% of patients were male and 34.8% were female. The results of linear regression analysis showed that by increasing 1 year, 0.35 year has added to patient's age (P = 0.0001). Conclusion: Considering the age and gender pattern of patients undergoing surgery due to coronary artery disease can affect the therapeutic planning of these patients. The results of this 17-year study confirmed the increased age of patients undergoing CABG surgery. Providing education services to enhance lifestyle may prevent the practice of CABG surgery at an advanced age. Context: Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) decreases the signs and symptoms of ischemic heart disease, but it cannot treat the disease completely.
