Materials and Methods: A systematic search of online electronic databases including Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, Iranmedex, and Scientific Information Database (SID) was performed using keywords extracted from Medical Subject Headings such as “Psychological Resilience”, “Caregiver”, and “Cancer” from the earliest to June 6, 2023. The quality of the studies included in this review was evaluated using the appraisal tool for cross-sectional studies (AXIS tool). Results: A total of 2735 caregivers of cancer patients participated in 15 studies. The majority of the studies found that caregivers of cancer patients had high levels of resilience. Factors related to the resilience of cancer patients’ caregivers included caregivers’ social support, caregivers’ quality of life, patients’ resilience, caregivers’ family function, patients’ performance, caregivers’ age, caregivers’ health status, caregivers’ self-esteem, caregivers post-traumatic growth, caregivers religious, caregivers hope, caregivers positive affect, patients age, patients social support, patients resilience support, patients quality of life, caregivers’ anxiety, caregivers’ depression, caregivers’ burden, caregivers level of education, caregivers financial problem, caregivers memory, caregivers negative affect, caregivers post-traumatic stress disorder, maternal distress, and patients post-traumatic stress disorder. Conclusion: Therefore, healthcare administrators and policymakers can enhance the resilience of caregivers and the quality of care they provide by instituting ongoing training initiatives focused on evaluating mental well-being and implementing coping strategies for managing stress and depression.

Some factors associated with medication adherence are still unknown. Objective: This study aimed to determine the factors related to medication adherence in patients with coronary artery disease. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was performed on 367 cardiovascular patients by consecutive sampling. The patients were referred to the specialized cardiology clinic in Rasht City, Iran, from January 2019 to June 2020. A data collection form and questionnaires of cardiac anxiety, anxiety depression and stress, and medication adherence were used. The obtained data were analyzed by the Chi-square test, Fisher exact test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Mann-Whitney U test, and logistic regression model. The significance level was considered less than 0.05. Results: Most samples were men (61.85%). The mean ± SD age of the samples was 59.9 ± 10.9 years. About 20.7...

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 78 hospitalized patients in different wards of Poor-Sina Medical and Educational Center of Rasht in 2017 were divided into three equal groups, including patients who were treated with normal saline and dextrose saline and those who did not receive this solution. Two separate blood samples were obtained from each patient, one from PVC and the other from DV. The levels of sodium, potassium, creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were measured and compared. Results: Difference of PVC with DV in BUN was generally 0.32±3.18 mg/dl; creatinine, sodium and potassium were 0.02±0.12 mg/dl, 1.00±2.49 mEq/L and 0.15±0.48 mEq/L respectively. There were no statistically significant differences between the two methods in relation to BUN and creatinine (P = 0.377 and P = 0.1...

Electronic text searches were performed using valid databases with “readiness for hospital discharge” and “MI” keywords. The research included quantitative and qualitative studies related to RHD published between 1997 and 2021 in English and Persian. Out of 103 obtained articles, 29 met the inclusion criteria.FindingsIn the analysis, the authors identified stable physical state, desirable individual and social conditions, psychological stability, adequate support, adequate information and knowledge, and multidisciplinary care as the attributes of the determinants of RHD. Antecedents were divided into two categories, including preadmission conditions (economic and social, etc.) and postadmission conditions (disease severity and patient health needs, etc). The consequences were also identified as both positive (e.g. self-care) and side effects (e.g. reduced readmission).Originality/valueThe results showed that the concept of RHD in MI patients is a complex and multidimensional condition that applies to all patients on discharge. It is critical for the care team to pay attention to its attributes and scopes in the process of preparing the patient for discharge. It is also suggested that the concept be used as a nursing diagnosis on the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association (NANDA) list. The Association provides nurses with an up-to-date list of nursing diagnoses.
