Abstract
Background & Aim: The Non Stress Test (NST) is a main assessment tool for fetal wellbeing however, it has a high rate of false-positive results. External stimulation with halogen light has been recommended to aid in provoking fetal response, decreasing false-positive results and promoting the test. This study aimed to assess the effect of halogen light stimulation on nonreactive pattern of NST.
Methods & Materials: From 850 women who underwent NSTs, 50 women with singleton and cephalic fetuses who had nonreactive NSTs were allocated to receive halogen light stimulation through a halogen light source of 1,000,000 candle power. The light was applied to the lower abdomen above symphysis pubis over fetal head for 10 seconds. Results were compared to BPP scores as a backup test. We used mean± SD, chi-square Test and Fisher&aposs Exact Test. The >α0.05 was considered as significant level.
Results: Following stimulation, 68% of nonreactive results changed to reactive patterns. In half of the cases, first acceleration occurred in less than two minutes. Almost 90% of fetuses had reactive pattern within nine minutes.
Conclusion: Halogen light stimulation decreased the incidence of non reactive tests and testing time. Halogen light stimulation is safe and efficient in fetal well being assessment.

Abstract
Background & Aim: Most of the psychological turmoil of marital conflicts is related to sexual dissatisfaction. Sexual satisfaction is influenced by physical and mental illnesses. Pelvic floor muscle relaxation is a major health problem in which prolapsed pelvic floor muscles causes paralysis, pelvic organs&apos prolpases, pelvic organs&apos dysfunction, dyspareunia, and back pain. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of pelvic floor muscle exercise on sexual satisfaction in primiparous women.
Methods & Materials: This clinical trial was conducted among 100 primiparous women selected through cluster randomized sampling from five clinics of Tehran University of Medical Sciences. Samples were randomly divided into two equal groups. The intervention group received pelvic floor exercises (Kegel) for 16 weeks. The control group did not receive any intervention. Data were collected using the Linda Berg questionnaire before the intervention and 16 weeks after the intervention in both groups. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and chi-square, t-test in the SPSS v.18.
Results: After 16 weeks, significant differences were reported in the levels of sexual satisfaction in the intervention and control groups (P<0.001).
Conclusion: The Kegel exercises are easy and non-expensive methods that should be offered by health professionals to increase sexual satisfaction in women after childbirth.

Abstract
Background & Aim: Hysterectomy is a common gynecologic surgery leading to great concerns in women. This study aimed to determine the effect of foot massage on anxiety level after hysterectomy.
Methods & Materials: In this double-group randomized clinical trial, 60 women undergone hysterectomy were selected using convenience sampling method and were randomly allocated into two intervention or control groups. Patients in the intervention group received foot massage three sessions during three consecutive days (every session lasted 20 minutes). In the control group, the researcher was only beside the women for 20 minutes. The Spilberger anxiety questionnaire was used to measure the anxiety level. Data were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA and independent t-test.
Results: The mean of the anxiety score was not significantly different between the two groups before the intervention (P=0.21). After the intervention, there was significant difference between the two groups in the anxiety scores (P<0.001). There was also significant difference between the two groups in the anxiety scores one week after the surgery (P<0.001).
Conclusion: Foot massage can reduce anxiety in patients who underwent hysterectomy.

Abstract
Background & Aim: Hysterectomy is the second most common major surgery among women of reproductive age. Studies have suggested that women do not usually receive adequate information regarding hysterectomy before the surgery. Depression is a common psychiatric condition diagnosed after hysterectomy. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of pre-hysterectomy counseling on depression among women.
Methods & Materials : In this clinical trial, 100 women who had undergone hysterectomy for non-malignant conditionswere selected from two hospitals (women’s’ hospital and Imam Khomeini hospital) and completed the informed consent forms. Participants were randomly divided into two intervention and control groups. In the intervention group, we implemented the supportive counseling within two sessions. Depression was assessed 1-2 weeks before the surgery and two monthsafter the surgery. Data were gathered using the 30-item SAMA questionnaire (modified BECK questionnaire in Iran)for depression and a demographic questionnaire. The two groups were assessed using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test, Mann Whitney U test and paired-t test. Data were analyzed in the SPSS-14.0. The p-value less than 0.05 was considered significant forall tests.
Results: Mann Whitney U test showed no significant difference between the control and intervention groups in the mean score of depression (p<0.001). In the intervention group, the mean score of depression was 44.46 ± 6.7 at baseline and 20.86 ± 5.9 after the intervention.
Conclusion : Pre-hysterectomy counseling should be provided for women in order to reduce negative psychological consequences.
