Abstract
Background and Objective: Nursing students are experiencing stress in related to academic and clinical training programs. Given the importance of promoting mental health and emotional intelligence in academic performance, the study of emotional intelligence and related factors could be the basis for strengthening this important variable by designing and implementing of effective training programs.
Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 125 nursing & midwifery students selected randomly in 2013. The instruments were a demographic checklist and Shyryng Sybrya Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire. The data was analyzed in SPSS16 using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and ANOVA, T- TEST (p&le 0.05).
Results: The mean of emotional intelligence was 109.12±12.27 in nursing and 113.32±13.26 in midwifery students. The total score and the score of all dimensions of Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire were not related significantly with some demographic factors such as age, residential place, interest to major and economic status (P>0.05), in both nursing and midwifery students. In nursing students, the meaningful relation was found just between Self-awareness dimension and gender (P=0.034) and grade point average (GPA) (P=0.049). The score of Self-awareness was higher in female students and in the students with higher GPA.

Abstract
Background: Fatigue is among the most common complications for hemodialysis patients. The theory of unpleasant symptoms is associated with fatigue in hemodialysis patients. According to this theory, fatigue has three physical, mental and situational factors. Considering this theory, we aimed to determine some factors related to fatigue in hemodialysis patients.
Methods: In this descriptive-analytical study, of 165 hemodialysis patients admitted to Panje Azar Medical and Educational Center in Gorgan, Iran, 58 eligible ones were randomly selected. Data was collected using demographic information questionnaire, Fatigue Severity Scale, Beck Anxiety Inventory and Beck Depression Inventory. Data analysis was conducted in SPSS 17, using Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis and Spearman's rank correlation coefficient tests.
Results: The mean fatigue in all patients was 4.76 ± 1.66 out of 7. Fifty-two patients (89.7%) suffered from some degree (mild to severe) of anxiety and 43 patients (74.1%) suffered from some degrees (mild to severe) of depression. Fatigue only had a direct relationship with psychological factor [anxiety (P = 0.006, r = 0.353, and depression (P <0.001, r = 0.525)].
Conclusion: Considering the high prevalence of fatigue among hemodialysis patients and associated factors, care providers are advised to identify high-risk individuals through conducting periodic psychiatric examinations and to promote their knowledge on available strategies to reduce adverse effects in these patients.

Abstract
Background: Substance abuse can cause problems for family members, especially spouses, and impair the addicts' quality of life; hence, it seems necessary to identify issues that can endanger their quality of life and health. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the quality of life of women with addicted husbands, and its related factors.
Methods: We conducted the present cross-sectional study on 300 women with addicted husbands who were in the list of clients of private and public addiction treatment centers in Gorgan in 2018. The convenient sampling was used for recruited participants. We gathered data using the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF), the higher scores indicated a better quality of life. We also analyzed the data in SPSS 16 using descriptive statistics, Chi-square and Mann-Whitney tests at a 95% confidence interval.
Results: The results indicated that women with addicted husbands had lower mean scores of physical health (33.3±19.1), mental health (28±3.19), environmental health (31.5±18.1), social relationship (30.2±21.4), and total scores of quality of life (31±18). There were significant correlation between scores of quality of life and its dimensions with women's job, family income, duration of substance abuse, and type of substance (P<0.001). Also, the quality of life was directly associated with women's jobs and family income, but inversely related to the husband's duration of substance abuse and type of substance.
Conclusion: Women with addicted husbands needed more support due to their low quality of life. These findings help the healthcare provider pay more attention to the problems of women with addicted husbands.

Abstract
Background: Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) refers to perceived physical, mental, emotional, and social well-being. The purpose of this study is to evaluate HRQOL in patients with chronic respiratory failure (CRF).
Methods: The present mixed methods study is conducted since 2020 by simultaneous implementation of quantitative and qualitative phases. The quantitative phase is cross-sectional research to determine HRQOL in patients with CRF. In this phase, 171 patients will be selected based on the inclusion criteria from the internal medicine, respiratory, and neurology wards of hospitals affiliated with the Golestan University of Medical Sciences (Gorgan, Iran). The stratified sampling method is applied by calculating the bed occupancy rate. To collect data in this phase, the Persian version of the HRQOL questionnaire will be used for patients with CRF. In addition, the questionnaire will be translated and evaluated in terms of psychometric properties. Data obtained from the quantitative phase are analyzed by descriptive statistics using SPSS 16 software. Simultaneously with the quantitative phase, the researcher will achieve an understanding of HRQOL in the patients by using the contractual content analysis method in the qualitative phase. In this phase, the subjects will be selected via Purposeful sampling. Data are collected through semi-structured interviews and sampling will continue until reaching data saturation. Data analysis is done by the Graneheim and Lundman method. In this regard, after extracting and categorizing the codes, subclasses and classes will be formed. Finally, the findings of the quantitative and qualitative phases will be compared and integrated for discussion and interpretation of the data.
Conclusion: Evaluation of HRQOL by implementing combined qualitative and quantitative approaches can provide a complete picture of this concept in patients with CRF. Moreover, the results of such studies can help predict outcomes and the efficacy of therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
Background: Swift diagnosis and treatment of cardiac patients can avert unnecessary hospitalizations. Emergency departments routinely assess patients using the Emergency Severity Index (ESI) method. This study compares the effects of two triage methods, cardiac triage, and ESI, on the admission time of acute coronary syndrome patients.
Methods: This intervention study aimed to enhance the quality of therapeutic interventions through an intervention design featuring a control group. The research sample comprised all patients referred to the Sayad Shirazi Educational and Medical Center triage unit in Gorgan, Iran. All patients were randomly allocated into two groups: the control group (23 patients) and the intervention group (46 patients), utilizing a simple random allocation method. The control group underwent triage using the Emergency Severity Index, whereas the intervention group received cardiac triage. Triage forms and time-related indices were completed for both groups. Statistical analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro-Wilk, and the Mann-Whitney tests to compare these characteristics between the two groups, utilizing SPSS version 18.
Results: Significant statistical differences were observed between the two groups in several aspects: the average time from the emergency department to the cardiac intensive care unit (p < 0.001), the average duration of presence of a cardiac specialist physician (p < 0.001), the average time from arrival to triage room exit (p < 0.001), and the average hospitalization time (p < 0.001). These time intervals were shorter in the cardiac triage group.
Conclusion: Implementing specialized cardiac triage for cardiac patients plays a pivotal role in reducing response times. Cardiac triage can furnish the medical team with more comprehensive information, thereby improving the management of these patients in the emergency department.
