Abstract
Background & Aim: The Roy’s adaptation model is a helpful instrument to be used in treatment processes of patient s with chronic diseases. According to chronic nature of amputee veterans' diseases, it is expected that the implementation of care plan s based on this model can increase adaptation in the patients . The present study was performed to design and determine validity and reliability of a researcher-designed adaptation questionnaire based on the Roy’s adaptation model on war veterans with lower limb amputation .
Methods & Materials: This study was conducted among war veterans referred to the veteran clinic of Orthotics and Prosthetics center using convenience sampling method during 2012-2014 . M ain concepts of adaptation defined based on the Roy’s adaptation model were used to provide items. The validity and reliability of the questionnaire was assessed using the content validity index (CVI), content validity ratio (CVR), face validity, internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha), and stability (test-retest reliability) tests.
Results: Thirty five items were developed including 15 items on physiological area, 11 items on self-concept area, four items on dependence/ independence area, and five items on role playing area. The CVI was 0.95 . The Cronbach's alpha was 0.78. The correlation coefficient values were more than 0.7 in each area .
Conclusion: The psychometric analysis of the questionnaire showed proper validity and reliability for measuring adaptation on war veterans with lower limb amputation. The questionnaire is recommended to be used in nursing practice .

Abstract
Background & Aim: Transition from studentship to working life is a stressful and challenging event. The concept of transition is important in nursing education, management, and practice issues. However, despite its supreme importance, there are certain ambiguities about the concept of transition in nursing. The aim of this study was to analyze the concept of transition in the context of nursing in Iran.
Methods & Materials: We used the three-phase hybrid concept analysis model including the theoretical phase, the fieldwork phase, and the final analytic phase in this study. In the theoretical phase, we conducted an online literature search to find relevant articles published prior to 2012. In the fieldwork phase, five novice nurses, two experienced nurses, and one head-nurse were interviewed. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using thematic analysis approach. During the final analytic phase, we compared the findings of the first two phases to provide a clear and comprehensive definition of the concept of transition .
Results: The findings of the theoretical phase revealed that transition was a process phenomenon having defined attributes such as detachment, individual perception, awareness, and human response patterns. According to the findings of the fieldwork phase, transition was an interactive, evolutionary, and time-bound phenomenon that embodies attributes such as socialization, unavoidability, and competence and ability development. In the final analytic phase, a comprehensive definition was provided for the concept of transition in the context of nursing in Iran .
Conclusion: This study provided a comprehensive understanding of the concept of transition from nursing studentship to working life in Iran. The findings of this study can be used to develop theories, instruments, and criteria for evaluation of novice nurses’ transition to experienced nurses .

Abstract
Background & Aim: Hysterectomy is one of the most common surgeries in women, which causes many physical and psychological complications including anxiety. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of diaphragmatic breathing and pursed lip breathing on anxiety in women undergoing hysterectomy.
Methods & Materials: In this double-blind randomized controlled clinical trial, 126 patients referred to Taleghani hospital of Arak during 2017-2019 were selected by convenience sampling, and then assigned into three groups of diaphragmatic breathing, pursed lip breathing and control using the random number table. Anxiety was measured the evening before the operation (before the intervention), one hour before entering the operating room (after the intervention) and two hours after the operation, using the Spielberger Anxiety Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive and analytic statistics using the SPSS software version 16.
Results: The mean and standard deviation of anxiety scores for the diaphragmatic breathing, pursed lip breathing, and control groups were 55.33±10.49, 55.4±9.84, and 55.07±11.31 respectively, and there was no significant difference between the groups (P=0.983). One hour before going to the operating room (after the intervention), the mean and standard deviation of the anxiety score was 41.98±8.5, 42.43±7.88, and 52.86±11.5, respectively, and after the operation, the scores decreased to 37.79±8.13, 38.07±8.33 and 50.62±11.35 respectively. There was a significant difference between the three groups (P<0.0001). There was no statistically significant difference in the anxiety scores between the diaphragmatic breathing group and the pursed-lip breathing group after the intervention (P=0.999).
Conclusion: The results of this study showed the diaphragmatic breathing and pursed-lip breathing techniques are effective in reducing hysterectomy anxiety in women. Therefore, using this non-pharmacological approach is recommended to reduce anxiety before and after hysterectomy surgery.

Abstract
Background & Aim: Infantile colic is a stressful tension for the baby and parents, whose cause and certain treatment are still unknown. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of comparing the effect of massage and probiotic consumption on infantile colic.
Methods & Materials: This clinical trial was conducted in Tehran’s Children Medical Center in 2020-2021, and 75 colicky infants were included in the study based on ROM IV criteria and assigned into two groups of massage and probiotics. A total of 64 infants (34 in the massage group) and 30 in the probiotics group) completed the study. The duration of the intervention was 14 days. The first group received abdominal massage with olive oil twice a day, and the second group received probiotic drops, five drops a day. The study tool was the Barr Child Daily Measurement Scale. The information related to colic measurement, including the average time of colic crying, sleep, and frequency of defecation was analyzed within and between groups on days 1, 7, and 14.
Results: Abdominal massage and probiotic consumption both reduced infantile colic (P<0.05), but the massage group had more reduction than the probiotics group (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Considering that the massage method was more effective in controlling colic, using massage is recommended for the care of infants with colic, which is a non-drug, safe and simple method and can be easily taught to parents by nurses.

Abstract
Background & Aim: Children are a particularly vulnerable group, and mothers' knowledge and awareness play a crucial role in fostering their developmental progress. Insufficient knowledge of the cognitive, emotional, and social aspects of child development may lead to a decrease in parental self-efficacy. This study aims to investigate the effect of a family-centered empowerment model on mothers' self-efficacy regarding the growth and development of toddlers.
Methods & Materials: This quasi-experimental study was conducted in 2022 at Amir Kabir Hospital in Arak. A total of 72 mothers of hospitalized toddlers were selected and randomly assigned to either a control group (n=36) or an intervention group (n=36) through block randomization. The control group received standard hospital care, while the intervention group participated in a five-session, family-centered empowerment model program, with each session lasting 60 minutes. Data were collected using demographic questionnaires and parenting self-efficacy assessments, administered before the intervention, immediately after, and one month post-intervention. Analysis was performed using SPSS version 26, incorporating both descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results: The results showed that the mean self-efficacy scores before the intervention had no statistically significant difference between the two groups (P=0.416). However, post-intervention, the mean parenting self-efficacy scores demonstrated a statistically significant difference between the groups (P<0.001). Additionally, the mean parenting self-efficacy scores measured one month after the intervention also showed a statistically significant difference (P<0.001).
Conclusion: The family-centered empowerment model significantly improved mothers' self-efficacy. It is recommended as an effective approach for improving the management of children's growth and development.
