Objective: This study has been performed in order to determine relationdship between severity of stressors, coping mechanisms and quality of life in hemodialysis patients of Razi hospital in Rasht, 2004.
Methods: In this descriptive – correlational study, 105 patients were selected by census. The means for gathering data were 4 questionnaires including demographic data, hemodialysis stressors scale, Jalowiec coping scale and Padilla etal’s quality of life index. These questionnaires were completed by researcher through interview.
Results: Results indicated that the mean of psychosocial stressors was higher than the mean of physiological stressors (p<0.0001) and the mean of problem-focused coping was higher than emotion – focused coping (p<0.0001). On the other hand the results showed that there was a significant correlation between severity of stressors and emotion- focused coping mechanisms (p<0.01) and between severity of stressors and quality of life (p<0.01). Also there was a significant correlation between problem – focused coping mechanisms and quality of life (p<0.01). Finally the results showed a significant positive correlation between the severity of treatment – related stressors and emotion- focused coping mechanisms in regard to all of demographic variables. There was a significant negative correlation between the severity of stressors and problem-focused coping mechanisms in regard to age, marital status, and sufficiency of income. Also there was a significant negative correlation between the severity of stressors and quality of life in regard to all of demographic variables. On the other hand the results showed a significant positive correlation between problem- focused coping mechanisms and quality of life only in regard to age.

Methods: In this descriptive study, we have selected 1000 children from five health centers of BandarAbbas by means of simple randomized sampling. All data about children (height & weight) and their parents’ characteristics such as education and job were gathered and analyzed by means of t-test and ANOVA.
Results: In contrary to height curve, the weight curve of children was below the standard level. A significant relationship has been observed between weight curve and parents’ education and fathers’ job, but mothers’ job does not have a significant effect on children growth chart.
Conclusion: The weight gain pattern of children up to 24 months in Bandar Abbas differs from the standard and this difference widens in age 6-18 months and is affected by factors such as parents’ education and fathers’ job. Therefore, in attention to same timing of introduction of solid food and tooth budding with widening of children’s weight curve with standard curve, (all happens in 6 months age),more attention should be paid to feeding and proper health intervention to be conducted in order to control effective factors on children’s development.
