Abstract
مقدمه و اهداف: در اغلب موارد دانشجویان پرستاری در بالین مورد خشونت فیزیکی و کلامی قرار میگیرند. اگر چه در مطالعات قبلی خشونت علیه پرستاران مورد بررسی قرار گرفته است ولی با این حال توجه بسیار کمی به بررسی خشونت نسبت به دانشجویان پرستاری شده است. هدف از این مطالعه تعیین شیوع و ابعاد خشونت محل کار نسبت به دانشجویان پرستاری در محیط بالینی است.
روش کار: در این مطالعه توصیفی، 271 دانشجوی پرستاری با روش سرشماری شرکت کردند. اطلاعات با استفاده از پرسشنامهای که با روش اعتبار محتوا و آزمون و آزمون مجدد مورد پایایی و روایی قرار گرفت، جمعآوری گردید.
نتایج: به طور کلی به ترتیب 9/74 % و 38/7% از دانشجویان سابقه خشونت کلامی، فیزیکی را در طی سال گذشته داشتند. اکثر خشونتهای فیزیکی توسط بیماران صورت گرفته بود در حالی که بیشتر خشونت کلامی توسط همراهان بیمار صورت گرفته بود. به ترتیب بیشترین پاسخ به خشونت کلامی و فیزیکی این واکنش بود که "متقابلاً داد و بیداد کردم" و "به مربی یا مافوق خود گزارش دادم". از دیدگاه دانشجویان پرستاری شایعترین عامل مساعدکننده خشونت محل کار، کمبود آگاهی مردم در خصوص وظایف دانشجو در بیمارستانها بود. بین جنس و ترم تحصیلی دانشجویان با خشونت رابطه معنی داری یافت نشد.
نتیجهگیری: دانشجویان پرستاری اغلب در محیط کارآموزی مورد خشونت قرار میگیرند. باید راههای پیشگیری از خشونت و همچنین نحوه واکنش به خشونت به دانشجویان پرستاری آموزش داده شود و این مباحث در سرفصل درسی دانشجویان پرستاران گنجانده شود.

Abstract
Background & Objectives: Nursing and midwifery students are at risk needlestick/sharps injuries (NSIs/Sis). Actual number of NSIs/SIs among students due to insufficient reporting it is not clear in Iran. The aim of this study was to explore the barriers of not reporting of NSIs/SIs among nursing students.
Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in Arak University of Medical Sciences in 2009. 207 and 68 nursing and midwifery students were participated in study, respectively. A questionnaire, consisting two sections of demographic information and questions about exposure to (NSIs/SIs) and frequency and barrier reporting of NSIs/SIs, was completed by students.
Results: According to the findings, 43% and 20.5% of nursing and midwifery students had experienced at least one contaminated NSIs/Sis in the past 12 months. Only 44.9 % (n=40) and 50% (n=7) of the nursing and midwifery who had experienced NSIs/Sis in the previous year, were reported all exposures to NSIs/Sis, respectively. The most important the reasons for not reporting injuries consisted of low probabilities of the infection risk of the injury source, not familiar with reporting process and fear of decreasing evaluation score.
Conclusion: NSIs/SIs and non-reporting of NSIs/SIs were highly prevalent in nursing and midwifery students. More education programs should be directed at students to increase their awareness of about NSIs/SIs. Also nursing and midwifery student’s instructors should give positive responses to nursing students for reporting NSIs/SIs.

Abstract
Background & Objectives: Sleep quality is an important factor in student life
and affects in their learning process. Sleep problems are related to increased
health concerns, irritability, depression, fatigue, attention and concentration
difficulties, along with poor academic performance. The aim of this paper is to
conduct a survey based on a questionnaire that would characterize the quality
of sleep in students living in dormitories of Tehran University of
Medical Sciences (TUMS).
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study using the stratified random
sampling approach on 277 students residing in dormitories in Tehran. A
demographic questionnaire and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were used
for data collection.
Results: Mean (CI) of PSQI in students was 8.57 (8.10- 9.04). Using
the cut-off score of 6 for the PSQI global score, 73.3% (68.1%-78.5%) of
students were described as poor sleeper. Female students had a worse quality of
sleep compared to male. The mean duration of sleep in students was 5:15´± 105´
(hours). This was significantly higher in male students than female students.
There were no significant relationships between demographic variables such as
age, academic level, marital status and family income with and quality of
sleep.
Conclusion: This study showed that poor sleep quality is prevalent
among students living in dormitories of TUMS. Therefore it is necessary to
provide effective educational interventions for this group in order to improve
the quality of sleep.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: The Problematic Internet Use Questionnaire (PIUQ) is a scale for evaluating the adverse effects of high Internet usage. It was adopted into Persian in a previous study. The factorial structure of the adopted version was different from the original English version. The purpose of this study was to determine the factorial structure of the Persian version of the Problematic Internet Use Questionnaire.
Methods: In this methodologic study, sampling was carried out in students of Iran University of Medical Sciences, University of Tehran, and Sharif University of Science and Technology. A total of 428 students completed the Problematic Internet Use Questionnaire. Exploratory factor analysis was performed using SPSS. Confirmatory factor analysis was carried out using AMOS. The reliability of the Scale was determined using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient (α=0.89).
Results: Exploratory factor analysis showed four factors including online preoccupation, adverse effects, social interactions, and excessive use. The mean ± SD of the domains was 2.12±0.81, 2.01±0.86, 2.18±0.85 and 2.39±0.97 for online preoccupation, adverse effects, social interactions, and excessive use, respectively.
Conclusion: The exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis showed that the Persian version of the Problematic Internet Use Questionnaire had a relatively similar structure with the English version. One dimension of the questionnaire was split to two new dimensions. This questionnaire can be a useful tool for measuring problematic behaviors related to the excessive use of the Internet.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Iran has carried out a series of surveys based on the Global school-based student health survey (GSHS) referred to as the CASPIAN. The aim of this paper was to compare the methodology and tools of CASPIAN surveys and to propose recommendations and suggestions for future implementations.
Methods: The data of this systematic review study were gathered from the World Health Organization (WHO) documentations, international databases including Pubmed, EMBASE, Scopus, GoogleScholar, and ScienceDirect, and national databases including Magiran, SID, and Irandoc. The search was conducted in both English and Persian (for the time period from 2003 to 2018). The time and place of the study, target population, questionnaire(s), sample size, and sampling method were compared between the surveys.
Results: Five rounds of CASPIAN survey were conducted in Iran from 2003 to 2015. The surveys had two sets of questionnaires for students and parents. In all five rounds, sampling methods and questionnaires were similar in the core and differed in some details that were added selectively in each round. The questionnaires were designed based on the GSHS and the WHO stepwise approach to non-communicable disease risk factor surveillance (STEPS) programs.
Conclusion: Considering the small variation in each series and compliance with the global model, it is suggested that the next CASPIAN survey be conducted according to the previous series in accordance with the standards presented in the global model in recent years in a reasonable interval from the 2015 survey.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: One of the most important issues in public health is violence, which affects people around the world. Therefore, a qualitative study was conducted to explain the consequences of student violence.
Methods: This study was part of a qualitative exploratory sequential study conducted in Ruodsar in 2017. This study was carried out using conventional qualitative content analysis method. The data were collected through 50 individual in-depth interviews using purposive sampling. Data analysis was done using the Landman and Grahaim method.
Results: Data analysis in the first phase of research resulted in the extraction of 98 initial codes, two subcategories and one main category. At the end of this stage, the consequences of adult violence according to the findings were as follows: "The harmful consequences of violence are conceptual, dynamic, and multidimensional. The harmful consequences of violence point to changes that occur within the violent person or the people around them after the violence, which are divided to interpersonal and intrapersonal consequences.
Conclusion: The present study revealed some new dimensions of the concept of harmful consequences of violence, especially in student girls. This definition is based on the Iranian context and culture. Violence prevention requires attention to these dimensions at different interpersonal and the intrapersonal levels.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Physical activity is one of the most important components of life. The aim of this study was to evaluate the physical activity level of primary school students in Bushehr in 1398.
Methods: In this cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study, the research population included all elementary school students in Bushehr. Four hundred and six students were selected using multi-stage random sampling. The Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children, which is a valid and reliable scale, was used to collect the data. Independent t test, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression model were used for data analysis. Data was analyzed using the SPSS software version 20.
Results: The mean score of physical activity was 3.27±0.84. There was a significant relationship between demographic factors (parents’ education level, participant’s education level and BMI) and physical activity. Students whose parents had higher levels of education were more likely to engage in physical activity and people who were obese had less physical activity.
Conclusion: The students' physical activity was moderate. Given that there is a direct link between physical inactivity and increased prevalence of overweight and obesity, it is important to pay attention to the lifestyle of people, especially children and adolescents who are in the learning age. Therefore, more attention should be paid to improving the level of physical activity in students through education and building a culture.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: In adolescence, there is a heightened inclination to cultivate stronger social networks within schools, resulting in the exchange of information. This study investigates the influential factors that shape the exchange of information among students within their classrooms.
Methods: The study involved 350 male and female middle and high school students in Hamadan. Two types of networks were constructed within each class: the communication network, representing ordinary students’ interactions, and the specific network, which focused on the exchange of sensitive information about puberty. The network centrality index was calculated, and factors influencing information transfer were evaluated through a questionnaire.
Results: The degree of centrality in the social network of boys exceeded that of girls, with values of 55.4% versus 47.6% in the communication network, and 33.4% versus 20.1% in the specific network, respectively. The degree of centrality of students had significant positive association with the length of time that they spent with their friends. Moreover, we found the degree of centrality of students in both networks, particularly in special network, was stronger in high schools.
Conclusion: During adolescence, boys tend to possess a broader communication network within their classrooms, enabling them to effectively exchange information about puberty. Factors such as effective communication skills, knowledge about puberty, and spending time with their classmates play crucial roles in facilitating the exchange of information among adolescents in schools.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Depression is one of the most prevalent mental disorders among students associated with a major decline in academic and social performance. This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of depression in Iran's nursing students.
Methods: the research was conducted as a systematic review and meta analysis, all published scientific articles related to the prevalence of depression in nursing students were searched in 5 databases (Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, SID, Magiran) and Google Scholar search engine and then their quality was evaluated. The heterogeneity of the studies was investigated using the I2 index and meta-regression model to evaluate heterogeneity-prone variables at a significance level of 0.05. Ultimately, 9 articles met the criteria for inclusion in this study and were analyzed using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA) software.
Results: Based on the random model, the prevalence of depression in Iranian nursing students was equal to 3.2% (2.1 – 4.5; 95% confidence level). Results showed that the highest prevalence of depression in nursing students was 6.2% (5.3-7.1; 95% confidence limit) in Sistan and Balochestan province in 2004, while the lowest prevalence was 0.8% (0.5-1.2; confidence limit 95%) in Esfahan and Qom provinces in 2016. Also, there was a significant relationship between the calendar year, sample size, average age, and prevalence of depression in Iranian nursing students (P<0.05).
Conclusion: The results showed that the prevalence of depression in nursing students was 3.2%, which decreased with the increase of the calendar year and average age. Nevertheless, policymakers and managers must take measures to reduce depression.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Suicide is a major health concern worldwide, and there is a strong association between the presence of suicidal ideation and suicide attempt in the future. This study aimed to determine the epidemiological status of suicidal thoughts among university students and its correlation with some of their personal, family, and social factors.
Methods: An analytic cross-sectional study was conducted on 556 students of Gonabad University of Medical Sciences (GMU) who met the inclusion criteria and were selected by multi-stage sampling in 2023. To collect data, a checklist and the Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation (BSSI) were used. The collected data were analyzed using independent t-tests, chi-square, Fisher's exact test, and logistic regression.
Results: The prevalence (95% confidence interval) of suicide ideation among students of GMU was estimated at 20.5% (17.2-23.8%), with 11.5% of the students having high-risk (High and very high risk) suicidal thoughts. The prevalence of suicidal ideation was significantly higher among female compared to male students (P=0.016). Moreover, single students had more suicidal thoughts compared to married ones (P=0.019). In contrast, there was no statistically significant association between suicidal ideation and age, native status, place of residence and faculty of study of students.
Conclusion: The prevalence of suicide ideation and high-risk suicide ideation among the students was found to be relatively high. Thus, attention to state of mental health of students, especially female and single students, as well as creating suitable conditions for living and studying for them is recommended.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Borderline personality disorder is a prevalent psychiatric disorder and this study was conducted to examine the prevalence of borderline personality traits and their relationship with the family emotional climate among high school students.
Methods: This cross-sectional, correlational study involved 583 students from public high schools in Urmia city, selected using a multi-stage cluster sampling method. Data collection included a demographic information checklist, the Borderline Personality Scale for Children (BPFS-C), and the Alfred B. Hillburn Family Emotional Climate Questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 18 software, utilizing descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation), Pearson correlation tests, and one-way analysis of variance.
Results: The study found that the overall average of borderline personality traits across all disciplines was moderate, with higher levels observed in the humanities field compared to other fields. Borderline personality scores were higher among eleventh-grade students. The prevalence of borderline personality traits in the sample was low (26.9%), moderate (58.1%), and high (15%). Most students reported a high emotional atmosphere within their families (89.5%). An inverse and significant relationship was observed between family emotional climate and all dimensions of borderline personality traits. There were significant differences in family emotional climate across different grades, with the eleventh grade reporting the lowest average. Differences in borderline personality traits were also noted across educational levels. While the emotional atmosphere within families was higher among girls compared to boys, there was no significant gender difference in borderline personality traits. Additionally, there were no differences in family emotional climate across educational regions, but the average borderline personality traits were higher in region one.
Conclusion: Overall, the emotional climate within the family serves as a crucial protective factor against the development of borderline traits in adolescents. Educational and psychosocial interventions should prioritize strengthening parent-child emotional connections, fostering empathy, and teaching emotion regulation within families.
