● Social anxiety is among the most common anxiety disorders.
● Cognitive-behavioral techniques can be used by counselors and therapists to reduce social anxiety in clients.
● This study suggests the use of group cognitive-behavioral therapy to reduce social anxiety in nursing students.

Plain Language Summary 
This study investigated group cognitive-behavioral training techniques on social anxiety in nursing students. Social anxiety is among the most common anxiety disorders. Its highest prevalence among the youth is between 18-29 years of age. Social anxiety could lead to isolation and clear separation from the community. Social anxiety, as an uncomfortable experience, could hinder the development and social evolution trend of young people and prevent the flourishing of talents and the proof of the individuals’ existence. Study results indicated that group training by cognitive-behavioral techniques has good sustainability in reducing the students’ social anxiety over time. Cognitive-behavioral techniques teach clients to identify their anxiety-related thoughts and to test them objectively. The therapist tries to give the patient some new information that has been previously overlooked. Techniques that target the physiological component of anxiety include diaphragmatic breathing training and relaxation training. These techniques target the physical and physiological components of anxiety. By understanding these techniques, people learn to appropriately respond to the symptoms and triggers of anxiety to reduce the baseline level of physical stress. 

● Breastfeeding is a critical component of a baby’s growth and development.
● Exclusive breastfeeding for at least 6 months and then its continuation along with supplemental feeding for up to 2 years of age has been recommended to ensure optimal growth for all infants.
● Various factors can affect breastfeeding behavior and its continuation in the mothers of children under 2 years of age.
● The collected results indicated that the infant’s age, family income, and mothers’ knowledge of the importance of breastfeeding are associated with breastfeeding status.

Plain Language Summary 
Breastfeeding is the most unique way to provide the ideal nutrition for infant development and growth. The World Health Organization(WHO) has recommended exclusive breastfeeding for at least 6 months and its continuation along with supplemental feeding for up to 2 years to provide optimal growth for all infants. Various factors can affect the breastfeeding behavior of mothers. Nurses’ practices, guidance that mothers receive from friends, family members, and health professionals, as well as their support, may affect exclusive breastfeeding and its duration. The present study examined the breastfeeding behaviors of mothers with children aged between 6 months and 2 years of age. The collected data suggested that variables, such as infant age, family income, and the mothers’ knowledge of breastfeeding, could be related to breastfeeding status.

● Hospitals and health centers are the first units to provide optimal and timely healthcare services in unexpected accidents and natural disasters.
● Education positively affected nurses’ preparedness through lecturing and lecturing-tabletop exercise methods. However, it was more effective using the lecturing-tabletop exercise method.
● The quality of the health system response (including nurses) to disasters is directly related to the knowledge level and attitude of nurses. Therefore, by improving the knowledge, attitude, and skills of nurses, we have taken an essential step in providing a proper response to disasters.

Plain Language Summary 
The role of hospitals and health centers is very critical in disasters. Moreover, they are among the first units to provide optimal and timely healthcare services. They could help with reducing mortality and increasing the number of survivors, reducing the effects of disabilities, and alleviating physical pain. Preparedness has a vital and decisive role in disaster management. Nurses’ training in emergencies and disasters positively impacts their efficacy in care delivery. Although there are various training methods, their effects have not been investigated in many cases. The present study evaluated the effect of two training methods on nurses’ preparedness in response to disasters. We used conventional lecturing and practical training by reviewing an earthquake scenario. The study findings suggested that both methods increased nurses’ preparedness in disasters. However, the effect of the practical education method is more significant than lecturing education. Nurses comprise the most extensive healthcare team and have a multifaceted role in the treatment; therefore, there is a great need to improve the preparedness of the health care sector. This aim could be achieved by increasing their preparedness, and knowledge, and skills to provide a better response in disasters. This will lead to better disaster management and reduce human casualties and ultimately helps to reduce the risk of disasters.

● Childbearing results from a productive behavior within the family arisen from couples’ decision to have children.
● Males’ age at first childbearing decision is strongly related to age at marriage.
● Quality of life also affects the age at first childbearing decision of men. When couples are bio-psychologically facilitated to obtain information about the obstacles and problems of childbearing through various sources as well as the support of family and relatives, appropriate context is provided for their childbearing decision.

Plain Language Summary 
Childbearing and a desire for being a mother/father are common in the Iranian society. Moreover, childlessness is not a desirable stage for couples. However, there is some evidence of delayed first births among recently married men. The current study investigated factors associated with first childbearing decision in men. The collected results suggested the effectiveness of quality of life, age at marriage, and education on this matter. Given the barriers and difficulties for couples, service providers must think of strategies and facilitate conditions for enabling men to reach the desired number of children at the right time. They should facilitate the first childbirth among people who are willing to study and work. Furthermore, couples must be assured about the existence of a balance between childbearing, education, and employment. Additionally, socioeconomic and family conditions must be appropriate for having children. Therefore, the diminishing effects of delayed first childbirth on future fertility could be controlled and the continued fertility decline be avoided.

● Errors in clinical care processes account for a significant percentage of complaints, injuries, and even deaths.
● The Healthcare Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (HFMEA) is validfor detecting human errors in clinical care processes.
● By the HFMEA method, we take advantage of the available resources for implementing corrective and preventive measures.

Plain Language Summary 
Errors in clinical care processes highly impact treatment-related problems, such as decreased patient safety, service quality complaints, physical injuries, and death. Accurate identification of clinical care processes and detection of failures and analysis of the effects of these failures and executing corrective measures can reduce the incidence of medical errors of service providers and their related issues. Given the importance of emergency services and the nature of clinical care processes, this study aimed to fully identify the processes, tasks, sub-tasks, and possible error modes in service delivery and their effects in the emergency department. In the risk assessment phase of detected errors, the three indices of occurrence, severity, and detection were scored by experts, and through focus group discussions,the errors with a risk priority number ˃216 were considered with risk priority. The highest risk priority scores in the respiratory system care category were related to the lack of suctioning and attention to oxygenation. Controlling the risks associated with clinical care in the emergency department plays a crucial role in reducing treatment costs, dissatisfaction, and complaints related to medical errors.

● Studying the nursing occupational prestige is a top research priority for nurses.
● Sufficient occupational prestige can reduce depression and job stress.
● Promoting occupational prestige can be associated with increased self-esteem for nurses.
● More attention to promoting occupational prestige in the presenting of nursing education programs seems necessary.

Plain Language Summary 
Occupational prestige reflects the social status of the jobs. Respect for the dignity of an occupation indicates a fundamental path to human success. Nurses’ role in changing health care system, planning, and service delivery is crucial. But unfortunately, the general view toward nursing is not always a positive one. Many of the negative perceptions to the nursing as a profession are due to working as a subaltern of the physician, few job opportunities, and low payments. These issues can reduce nurses’ motivation to perform their occupational duties. On the other hand, the current shortage of nursing is also a serious challenge, which emphasizes the need to pay more attention to the occupational requirements of nurses. In this study, the occupational prestige of 220 nurses was evaluated in 2018, working in hospitals of Kashmar. The results showed that their occupational prestige was moderate. Of the demographic characteristics of the subjects, only the level of education, organizational position, and the university they are graduated from had a significant relationship with their occupational prestige. Based on the results, we propose to consider the importance of occupational prestige in nursing courses at different educational levels. Also, nursing occupational prestige will be enhanced by in-service training.

● Proper eating and nutrition contribute to the physical growth and appearance of humans. 
● Training nutrition for mothers has resulted in improving the awareness and function of mothers and better dietary habits in children.
● The collected results indicated that children’s eating problems could be improved by providing integrated training programs for their mothers.

Plain Language Summary 
Childhood is a golden opportunity for the biopsychological growth and evolution of children, and appropriate nutrition is necessary in this period. Proper eating and nutrition contributes to the sound physical growth and appearance of humans. It is also effective in the emotions, mood, behavior, and perception of individuals about their environment and the world. Some parents’ challenges are to establish appropriate nutrition in their toddlers as well as their unfamiliarity about children’s proper nutrition. Improper behaviors during eating (e.g. throwing the food, throwing tantrum, and dirty eating), the lack of eating independence, eating limited food types, rejecting foods suitable for their age, avoiding eating, and rejecting any food type, developing stress during eating are among eating problems occurring in the early years of life. Educating mothers could help solve such problems. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of an integrated training on the mothers of 1- to 3-year-old children with eating problems. The obtained data suggested that training mothers could greatly solve children’s nutritional problems. Also, nutrition training provided to the study mothers improved their awareness and function and led to better dietary habits in children.
