Abstract

  Background & Aim: Nurses’ m ental health is an important dimension of quality of life and health care delivery. Job instability can be threatening for mental health of nurses. This study was conducted to assess the relationship between minor psychiatric disorders (MPD) among nurses with their job stability .

  Methods & Materials: This was a cross-sectional-analytical study. A total of 771 nurses working in Bushehr and Fars provinces were recruited to the study through multi stage sampling. Mental health status was evaluated using the GHQ-12 questionnaire. The employment type -contractual, apprenticeship, permanent, and fixed term- were used as items to measure job stability. Data were analysed using latent class regression . 

  Results: About 27.48% of nurses suffered from MPDs. There was no significant relationship between the types of employment with MPD . There was a significant relationship between MPD with gender (P=0.049). Females were 20% more likely to have MPD .

  Conclusion: Prevalence of MPD among nurses was in the moderate level. High prevalence of MPD among female nurses shows necessity of providing appropriate strategies to control MPDs such as anxiety and stress among nurses .

Abstract
Background & Aim: Comfort is the ultimate goal in all the nursing processes. The aim of the study is to examine the comfort status of the hospitalized patients with mental disorders.
Methods & Materials: This study is a descriptive, cross-sectional study that was conducted on 275 patients hospitalized in the psychiatric wards of Lavasani hospital in Tehran in 2020. The study subjects were selected using the convenience sampling method. The patients completed a demographic form and the comfort questionnaire of psychiatric patients. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, independent t-test, analysis of variance, and the Scheffe test through the SPSS software version 24 at a significance level of 0.05.
Results: A total of 184 patients (66.9%) were male. The overall comfort score was 128.76, which was more than median based on the score from 38 to 190.
The highest scores in the dimensions of comfort, were respectively sociocultural domain (65.20±91.55), psychospiritual domain (64.19±31.50), physical domain (58.22±37.06), and environmental domain (49.19±22.39). The Scheffe test showed that the comfort score for the patients with sufficient income was significantly higher (P<0.001). Also, the patients who were employees had a higher comfort score compared to others (P=0.017).
Conclusion: The patients gained the least comfort score in the environmental domain, and the most comfort score in the sociocultural domain. Therefore, devising and implementing all nursing interventions are recommended with the aim of maintaining and improving comfort in the environment of psychiatric departments.
