Background & Aim: Nurses' organizational loyalty to health systems plays an important role in expanding organizational performance. Investigating the role of factors such as citizenship behaviors and adaptive performance can be helpful in this regard. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between citizenship behavior and adaptive performance with organizational loyalty in nurses.
Methods & Materials: This descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted in 2019 on 200 nurses working in Valiasr hospital affiliated to Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences in Borujen, and were selected by the random sampling method. A demographic information form, the Lee & Allen’s citizenship behavior questionnaire, the Charbonnier-Voirin and Roussel’s adaptive performance scale, and the Kumar and Shekhar’s organizational loyalty questionnaire were used to collect the data. The data was analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistical tests using the SPSS software version 16.
Results: The Pearson's correlation coefficient indicated a significant positive correlation between citizenship behavior and adaptive performance with organizational loyalty (P<0.05). Regression tests showed that citizenship behavior (ADJ.R²=0.199) and adaptive performance (ADJ.R²=0.131) significantly predicted organizational loyalty. All dimensions of citizenship behavior and some dimensions of adaptive performance such as creativity, learning efforts and job stress management can predict organizational loyalty in nurses. The average scores for citizenship behavior (66.85±18.26), adaptive performance (68.76±16.98) and organizational loyalty (120.67±24.09) were reported to be moderate.
Conclusion: Managers and planners should pay attention to factors such as creativity, stress management, and continuing education along with improving healthy working relationships and nurses’ participation, which can play an important role in expanding organizational loyalty through the development of citizenship behavior and adaptive performance.

Background & Aim: Changes in hemodynamic parameters can indicate the health status of individuals, and treatment measures cause changes in hemodynamic parameters, and affect the treatment process of patients. Different ways of distraction can have different effects. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of music distraction and movie-watching on hemodynamic parameters of patients undergoing extracorporeal lithotripsy.
Methods & Materials: A quasi-experimental study with a three-group, before and after design was performed on 90 patients undergoing extracorporeal lithotripsy in the lithotripsy unit of Ayatollah Kashani hospital affiliated to Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences in 2018. Patients were selected using the convenience sampling method and randomly allocated into three groups. The intervention included visual and auditory distraction. Data was collected before and after the intervention using demographic characteristics questionnaire, calibrated mercury blood pressure monitor, and pulse oximeter. Descriptive statistical tests (mean and standard deviation, percentage, frequency) and inferential tests (paired t-test, Pearson correlation coefficient and analysis of variance) through the SPSS software version 16 were used to analyze the data.
Results: Analysis of variance showed that the mean scores of systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate and oxygen saturation in the auditory, visual and control groups were not significantly different before the intervention (P>0.05). Also, the mean scores of these variables in auditory, visual and control groups were not significantly different after the intervention (P>0.05). Paired t-test also showed the mean scores of pulse rate (P=0.133), systolic (P=0.159) and diastolic blood pressure (P=0.413), and oxygen saturation (P=0.083) did not have significant differences after the intervention compared to before the intervention between the groups.
Conclusion: According to the results, music and movie-watching did not have a significant effect on hemodynamic parameters of patients undergoing lithotripsy. Due to the lack of confirmatory studies, further research is needed on lithotripsy patients.
