Abstract
Background & Aim: Women with cancer face many stresses. Social support can facilitate coping skills and improve active coping strategies. The purpose of this study was to assess perceived stress and its relationship with perceived social support in women undergoing chemotherapy for genital cancers.
Methods & Materials: This descriptive, correlational study was conducted from March to May 2016 on 151 patients undergoing chemotherapy for gynecologic cancers in oncology wards of Alzahra and Shahid Ghazi hospitals in Tabriz. The perceived stress scale (PSS) and perceived social support scale (PRQ-85-part2) were completed through interviews with patients. Data analysis was performed using the Pearson correlation test, one-way ANOVA and independent t-test.
Results: Mean (and standard deviation) total score of perceived stress for women was 42.26 (3.97) in the score range of 0-56. Mean (and standard deviation) total score of perceived social support for women was 127.55 (16.64) in the score range of 25-175. Based on the Pearson correlation test, no statistically significant correlation was observed between perceived stress and perceived social support (P=0.324, r=0.08).
Conclusion: The findings indicated that the perceived stress score for women with genital cancers was high. Nevertheless, no relationship was observed between perceived stress and perceived social support. Therefore, further studies are needed in this area.

Abstract
Background & Aim: Pregnancy is a very important period that is sometimes associated with various complications such as diabetes and poor sleep quality. Therefore, early identification of possible risk factors can play an important role in the health of pregnant women. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of gestational anxiety with sleep quality and gestational diabetes in pregnant women.
Methods & Materials: The present study was a descriptive-analytical study. In this study, 359 pregnant women referred to health centers in Baneh during 24-28 weeks of pregnancy were included through the convenience sampling method. Data collection tools were the demographic information questionnaire, the Petersburg sleep quality questionnaire, the short form of pregnancy-related anxiety questionnaire (PRAQ-17), and gestational diabetes screening result recorded in each patient's health record.
Results: The results revealed that 12.3% of pregnant women were anxious, of which 78.8% suffered from poor sleep quality and 10% had gestational diabetes. Statistical analysis showed that there was no statistically significant relationship between gestational anxiety and poor sleep quality, and gestational diabetes (P>0.05).
Conclusion: It seems that gestational anxiety is not related to sleep disorders and gestational diabetes. However, further research and prospective cohort studies are needed in this regard.
