Abstract
Background & Aim: Previous studies have shown lack of appropriate inter-professional relationships between nurses and doctors and its negative impact on quality of provided care. This study aimed to determine nurses' attitudes on professional relationships between doctors and nurses.
Methods & Materials: In this cross-sectional study, 228 nurses were selected from the internal-surgical and intensive care units of educational hospitals in Zanjan. Data were collected through the Jefferson scale of attitude toward physician- nurse collaboration. Descriptive (mean, median, standard deviation) and inferential statistics (independent t-test, ANOVA) were used to analyze data in the SPSS version 16.
Results: The situation of the inter-professional relationship between nurses and doctors was “high”. The maximum score belonged to the "care versus curing"; and the lowest score belonged to the "medical authority". There was a significant relationship between the mean score of the inter-professional relationship with nurses’ employment status (r=0.69, P<0.01).
Conclusion: Perspectives of nurses on nurse-doctor relationship was high. Efforts should be made to achieve the ideal situation by paying more attention to nurses' professional roles and their autonomy, including inter-professional relationship subjects in Medicine and Nursing educational curriculum and creating team spirit between nurses and doctors.

Abstract
Background & Aim: Depression is common among nursing and midwifery students. Problem-solving is a short-term intervention that can be used to treat psychological problems. This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of problem-solving skills training on depression scores among nursing and midwifery students .
Methods & Materials: This was a clinical trial. Nursing and Midwifery st udents (n=900) studying at Tabriz and Urmia universities were recruited in the study during 2 010-2011. The Beck Depression Scale was administered in both schools. Ninety two students who achieved a score above 10 in the Beck Depression Scale were selected. One school was randomly allocated to the intervention group and the other one was allocated to the control group. Students in the intervention group received six sessions of problem-solving skills training within three weeks. T he questionnaire was completed by the participants in both schools after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the independent t-test .
Results: After the intervention, the Beck Depression Inventory score in the intervention group decreased from 18.60 to 13.41 (P<0.01). There were no differences in the control group before and after the intervention (P<0.01) .
Conclusion: The problem-solving skills training program reduced depression scores. Providing information and using the problem-solving skills training are recommended .

Abstract
Background & Aim: Exposure to high stress in the work environment among the intensive care unit nurses results in leaving the profession and their unwillingness to continue their activities. This is one of the major challenges in the nursing profession and has a great effect on the effectiveness of health systems. Despite the importance of resilience, there is few studies on the intensive care unit nurses’ resilience. The aim of this study was to determine resilience and its association with the intensive care unit nurses’ intention to leave their profession.
Methods & Materials: This is a cross-sectional, descriptive analytical study on 400 nurses working in the intensive care units of teaching hospitals affiliated to Tabriz University of Medical Sciences in 2016. Data were collected through a modified form of Anticipated Turnover Scale designed by liou and a summarized form of Connor-Davidson’s resilience scale". Descriptive and inferential statistics (Mann-Whitney, and Kruskal-Wallis) were used for data analysis through SPSS version 13.
Results: The mean rank for intention to leave and resilience was 2.83 (IQR: 0.67) and 25.50 (IQR: 8) respectively. Also, there was a negative, significant correlation between resilience and intention to leave (P<0.001, R=-0.173).
Conclusion: Considering the rate of intention to leave the profession, more attention is needed to the factors affecting the intention to leave. In addition, due to the significant relationship between resilience and intention to leave, incorporating resilience-promoting strategies into nursing curriculum is recommended.
