Abstract
Background & Aim: Each conceptual model in nursing seeks to explain the fundamental concepts of the discipline based on the culture and values of societies in order to be used more effectively, as a scientific and practical framework. The aim of this study was to design a conceptual model of care during infancy from Islam perspective.
Methods & Materials: The conceptual model used in this study was designed based on the model synthesis process developed by Walker and Avant (2011) in three steps in 2017: Concept development and specifying focal concept, statement synthesis and identifying connections between concepts, systematic organization of connections and building an integrated representation. Qur’an and its interpretation books and Shiite Hadith books were of the resources.
Results: As a result of developing the concept of “care during infancy in terms of Islam”, six concepts were synthesized. “Infant as a person with dignity and potential for excellence” was as the focal concept. Other concepts included “basic principles of nurturing”, “parents as the representatives of God in nurturing infants”, “mother as the symbol of creativity and divinity of God”, “healthy and competent child”, and “God as the merciful nurturer”. After defining connections between the concepts, the structure of conceptual model was presented.
Conclusion: Infant care is nurturing a human being who has dignity, rights and potential for excellence from the time of conception. From Islam perspective, God is the eternal nurturer who nurtures the infant with kindness and dignity, and mother is the manifestation of the creativity and divinity of God. The infant is entrusted to the parents by God, and parents are the agents of God who lay the groundwork for nurturing the infant. In order to have a healthy and competent child, observing the principles of nurturing is important. “Care during infancy from Islam perspective” model is a conceptual model that can be used for the development of applied theories, clinical practice, research, and education of nursing students and the community.

Abstract
Background & Aim: Traumatic brain injury management focuses on the prevention and treatment of secondary brain injuries. The aim of this study was to adapt a clinical guideline (CG) for nursing care of secondary brain injuries in adults.
Methods & Materials: This study was carried out through a multi-stage evolutionary study at Isfahan University of Medical Sciences in 2017. Based on the opinions of experts using AGREE tool, the quality of 8 out of 13 CGs for the treatment and care of head injuries was assessed as optimal. These were used in drafting the adaptive CG. In addition, 12 CGs, 13 articles and 5 books were used to complete the recommendations of the mentioned guideline. The CG draft was evaluated using the Delphi method and the panel of experts. Finally, it was presented as an adaptive CG.
Results: The adaptive CG for nursing care of secondary brain injuries was developed in 158 recommendations and five sections; nursing care to prevent and manage the increased intracranial pressure, nursing care to maintain and increase cerebral blood pressure, nursing care to prevent and control seizures, nursing care to prevent and control brain infections, and nursing care to prevent and control secondary extracranial injuries.
Conclusion: The nursing staff of emergency and neurological wards and intensive care units can apply the recommendations of this clinical guideline to address some of the care needs of the injured patients and improve their health conditions.
