It has been affected by different kinds of problem-solving models' so, the problem-solving skill is necessary in practice for nurse practitioners. Besides assertiveness is a critical element which persuades nurses and nursing students to establish good relationships and use their knowledge and professional skills effectively. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between problem solving and assertiveness skills among undergraduate nursing students .
Methods & Materials: This was a descriptive correlational study. The study was carried out in the School of Nursing and Midwifery at Iran University of Medical Sciences. The study population included all students enrolled in the four-year nursing program in 2009-2010. Data were collected using the Heppner and Petersen’s problem solving inventory and Rathus assertiveness schedule. Data were analyzed using the ANOVA, independent sample t-test and Pearson Correlation Coefficient tests in the SPSS .
Results: Three hundred and twenty two students participated in this study. The students' problem-solving skill (mean=89.5) and assertiveness (mean=12.1) were moderate. The study showed that last year students reported higher assertiveness skill than the freshmen (F=2.85 P≤0.037). The level of assertiveness was correlated with the level of problem-solving skill .
Conclusion: Educational programs should provide opportunities for nursing students to enhance life skills such as problem solving and assertiveness skills. Nursing schools should improve students' skills in clinical approaches to be better care professional .

Abstract
Background & Aim: Infant hospitalization in the intensive care unit is stressful for parents so that it affects their parental role. Nurses, due to their special situation, can play an important role in reducing parental stress. This study aimed to determine the effect of parental role training by a nurse on stress in the parents of hospitalized newborns in a neonatal intensive care unit.
Methods & Materials: A quasi-experimental study (IRCT201605131788N17) was conducted on 72 parents (36 couples in the intervention group, 36 couples in the control group) of hospitalized newborns in the neonatal intensive care unit of Ali-Asghar hospital in 2016. The intervention group received the parental role training based on their needs. Their stress level was compared with the control group using the Parental Stress Scale. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, chi-square test, paired t-test, independent t-test and Fisher's exact test using the SPSS software v.16.
Results: Before the education, there was no significant difference in the stress level between the two groups (P>0.05). After the education program, the stress level in the intervention group fell on the tenth day compared to the control group (P<0.001).
Conclusion: Training parents based on their educational needs reduces their stress. By reducing stress and improving the role of parents, it can be assured that the newborn is provided with the quality care at the time of admission.

Abstract
Background & Aim: Iran currently experiences a fertility rate below the replacement level, with decisions regarding childbearing influenced by various factors. This study focuses on individual and familial perspectives that contribute to women's reluctance to have children.
Methods & Materials: This qualitative research employed a conventional content analysis approach conducted during the period of 2022-2023. The sample comprised married women, aged 30 to 45, residing in different regions of Tehran (north, south, west, east, and central) who have voluntarily chosen not to have children. Participants were selected through purposive sampling, guided by specific inclusion and exclusion criteria, utilizing a snowball sampling technique. Data saturation was achieved with a sample of 19 women. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using Graneheim and Lundman’s framework with the aid of MAXQDA 2022.
Results: Data analysis revealed two primary themes: familial factors and individual factors. Each theme comprised four categories, with two subcategories identified for each category. The familial factors include: (1) issues related to the family of origin, (2) mutual agreement on childlessness between partners, (3) instability in marital life, and (4) lack of marital satisfaction. The individual factors encompass: (1) idealism, (2) egocentrism and individualism, (3) negative health effects of childbearing on mothers, and (4) the conflict between maternal and professional roles, which are recognized as significant determinants in the decision not to have children.
Conclusion: This qualitative study sheds light on the complexity of the decision-making process regarding childlessness in this age group and highlights the need to address individual and familial factors alongside others, in population growth policies.
