Abstract
Background & Aim: Infants are very sensitive and special attention is needed to take care of their physical and mental health. Some studies showed that massage by parents can improve infants&apos sleep quality. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of massage with sunflower oil or sesame oil on infants&apos crying and sleep times.
Methods & Materials: This triple-blinded clinical trial was conducted on 120 infants who were 10-15 days old, full-term, single, exclusively breastfed and with no history of hospitalization. The infants were assigned randomly into three groups of sunflower oil massage, sesame oil massage and massage with no oils. Mothers administered 15 minutes of massage to their infants twice per day (morning and afternoon) for 28 days. Times of crying and sleep were measured by a parents&apos information form at baseline, and at the end of the first, second, third, and fourth weeks of the study. Data were analyzed using the repeated measures ANOVA.
Result: Within four weeks of following, decreasing pattern of infants crying time was not significant (P=0.18) however, the mean of crying time between the three groups was significant (P=0.007). The interaction effect of crying time and groups was not significant (P=0.18). Increasing pattern of infant sleep time was statistically significant in the fourth weeks of the following (P<0.001) however, the mean of sleep time between three groups was not significant (P<0.56). The interaction effect of sleeping time and groups was not significant (P<0.10).
Conclusion: Since there were not statistical significant differences between the infants&apos crying and sleep times between the three groups, and despite the fact that increasing pattern of infants sleep time is a normal pattern, it is not possible to have a proper conclusion.

Abstract
Background & Aim: Pregnancy is one of the enjoyable and evolutionary aspects of women’s life, which is often associated with many stresses and concerns. Counseling is one of the most appropriate interventions to reduce concerns and increase the decision-making power of pregnant women. This study aimed to determine the effect of solution-focused group counseling on pregnant women’s worries.
Methods & Materials: A randomized clinical trial was conducted on 108 pregnant women with gestational age of 6 to 19 weeks and a score of worry ≥55, from May to September 2017 in health centers of Sabzevar University of Medical. The intervention group received a solution-focused counseling and the control group received routine prenatal care. Concerns of pregnant women were evaluated before, after, and two months after the intervention using the Farsi version of Cambridge Worry Scale. The data were analyzed using t-test, chi-square, and repeated measure analysis of variance through the SPSS software version 22. A P value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: The mean score of worry before the study was 58.9±5.9 for the intervention group and 58.8±4.37 for the control group, and no significant difference was observed. After the intervention, these values for the intervention group and the control group were 34.6±13.3 and 57.7±8.78, respectively. Two months after the study, these values were 31.1±10.1 and 54.6±10.9, respectively. The analysis of variance with repeated measurements showed that pregnant women’s concerns about childbirth, fetal health, maternal health, and family relationships were significantly reduced after the intervention and two months later (P<0.001). Women’s worries about socioeconomic issues were not significantly reduced after the intervention and two months later in comparison with the control group (P=0.563).
Conclusion: The solution-focused counseling is an effective way to reduce pregnant women’s concerns about maternal and fetal health, family relationships and childbirth. It can be used in conjunction with pregnancy care.

Abstract
Background & Aim: Medication non-adherence remains a significant problem in managing the global epidemic of hypertension. This study aimed to explore the factors affecting medication non-adherence from the perspectives of both patients with hypertension and healthcare providers in Mahan health centers, located in Kerman province.
Methods & Materials: This qualitative study utilized a conventional content analysis method within healthcare centers in Mahan city in 2022. A total of 29 participants were included in the study, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews, with all interviews being recorded, transcribed verbatim, and utilized as the primary data for analysis. The trustworthiness of data was evaluated in accordance with the criteria established by Guba and Lincoln criteria.
Results: Three categories of factors contributing to medication non-adherence among patients with hypertension were identified: ""nature of the disease and treatment," "individual and family factors," and "organizational factors." Factors related to the "nature of the disease and treatment" included the asymptomatic and chronic nature of hypertension as well as fatigue stemming from continuous drug use. "Individual and family factors" encompassed fear and internal doubts, a desire for non-pharmacological treatments, and inadequate family support. "Organizational factors" comprised high treatment costs and access to specialized services, insufficient support from treatment and care teams, and inadequate disease monitoring.
Conclusion: Various factors across a spectrum of influences contribute to medication non-adherence in patients with hypertension. It is crucial for healthcare providers to engage in consistent patient education regarding the nature of the condition and the importance of medication adherence to enhance compliance among patients.
