The aim of this study was to examine the effects of education on the awareness of female health volunteers about menopause in the city of Kashan based on the health promotion model in 2016. Materials and Methods: In this semi-experimental study, 280 female health volunteers in the cities of Kashan and Aran Bidgol were selected by simple random sampling in 2016. The health volunteers' knowledge of menopause was compared before and 6 months after the training. The theoretical framework used in this study was the structures of Pender's health promotion model. Data were collected through a questionnaire and analyzed using correlation tests and regression analysis with the SPSS software. Results: The results showed that the mean age of the participants was 30.05 ± 5.17 years (age range, 18–43). The mean score of knowledge before training was 7.6 ± 3.75 and after the intervention was 7.81 ± 6.4, which was increased. There was a significant difference between the mean scores of knowledge before and after the training (P < 0.001 and t = 33.5). The results showed a significant difference in the mean scores of the health promotion model before and after the training (P = 0.05). Conclusion: The results of the present study showed the positive impact of education based on the health promotion model on the knowledge of the volunteers about menopause. It is recommended that some training and research programs be performed to select the optimal training methods for volunteers, and strengthen their scientific knowledge and empower them. Given that the health volunteers have a close relationship with the community, training them can change the health behaviors, reduce the cost of healthcare, and improve the health status of the community.

Since the community has to cope with substantial expenses, and a considerable part of health funds are allocated for the continuing care of these patients, designing appropriate policies for organizing, financing, and providing optimal health care is of special importance. This study was aimed to design a health management model for chronic patients in Iran. Methods: We scrutinized studies done in England, Australia, United state, and Canada and used these as suitable references from which we selected applicable strategies. Subsequently, we submitted these for approval to relevant experts to establish a service health care management model for chronic patients. The final model was developed by the expert panel. Results: In almost all of our references we found that health and welfare ministries, along with the private sector, provide decentralized health care to chronic patients. Health care programs for chronic patients encompass free services for regular checkups , vaccinations, lifestyle training, acute illness care, health advisors, health aids, and equipment, and laboratory services. Policies are outlined by the National Committee on Prevention and Control of Non-Communicable Diseases, which has its base at the Supreme Council of Health. Funds are provided mainly by governmental bodies and subsequently, by societies and non-governmental organizations (NGO's), with some participation of the chronic patients themselves (as premium and franchise). Conclusion: Our model for management of chronic patients includes the formation of a "health committee for chronic patients" in the Supreme Council of Health and Ministry of Health and Medical Education, and the provision of decentralized and provincial health care services. Funds should be provided through taxes, charity aids, and support from international organizations. Nongovernmental and charity aids may be increased to lessen the financial burden on the governments.

Technology improvement and growth of population, eventually increases the hospital waste products, besides inadequate management could place healthcare workers, patients, communities and their environment at risks. Objective: The aim of present study was valuation of hospital waste product management state in Kashan. Methods: This study was a cross sectional-descriptive survey. Protocol of the survey was carried out in all of the training public hospitals including 850 active beds, in city of Kashan. Method applied for collecting the data was remarking (visiting each hospital).The weight and volume of the waste product were measured according to quality and quantity. Obtained data were analyzed using Mean (µ) ch-square and(X 2). Results: The results of the study showed that the daily hospital waste product were 2461 Kg per 24 hours, approximately 895804 kg per year, on average 219 kg per each bed. Most of the hospital waste products were collected from gynecology (62 kg), ENT (ear, nose and throat, 3 kg), medical (0/6kg) and dialysis (3kg). The results on various aspects of hospital waste management indicated that, all of the hospitals had cleared strategies for disposal of wastes except ENT wards.

Most of nursing care occurs during transition process and the primary goal of nursing is to enhance healthy outcomes for patients. The mission of nursing according to this concept is the art and science of facilitating the transition to health and well-being. In the meanwhile, end stage renal disease patients have to transit from this situation to the hemodialysis situation. The purpose of this study is to explore facilitators in the process of transition to heamodialysis. Material & Methods: This paper is a part of findings of a more extensive grounded theory study. The participants included new hemodialysis patients, their relatives and health care personnel. Purposeful and theoretical sampling was used to recruit participants and continued until saturation. The study was undertaken in hospitals affiliated to Shaheed Beheshti and Tehran University of Medical Sciences in Tehran. Data was generated by semi-structured interviews, and observation. The data were analyzed by constant comparison. The rigor of the study was confirmed through the criteria proposed by Lincoln and Guba. Results: Facilitators in the process of transition to heamodialysis included personal factors (physical, mental and spiritual properties), social factors (expert support of medical and nursing team, collaboration of family and familiars, support of social organizations and effects of interaction with peers) and spirituality (relating with God, having recourse to God's Saints and relying on spirituality values). Conclusion: Nurses' special attention to the personal, social and spiritual characteristics of hemodialysis patients, providing an appropriate context for identifying and reinforcing these factors, and doing appropriate supportive interventions would play an important role in the process of healthy transition to heamodialysis.

Methods: The present interventional study was conducted to investigate the control and headquarters level in the organization to increase and improve 8 health indicators. Ten experts from the headquarters stationed in Khomeini Shahr communicated with the personnel of 10 health centres. The population covered by health centres was 40,000 people. The health indicators of the centres were compared before and after 3 months of the supervisory intervention of staff experts from SIB system (Integrated health system). Paired t-test and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test were used to test the items and to check for normality of data distribution. SPSS19 was used for data analysis (P<0/001).

Methods: The present interventional study was conducted to investigate the control and headquarters level in the organization to increase and improve 8 health indicators. Ten experts from the headquarters stationed in Khomeini Shahr communicated with the personnel of 10 health centres. The population covered by health centres was 40,000 people. The health indicators of the centres were compared before and after 3 months of the supervisory intervention of staff experts from SIB system (Integrated health system). Paired t-test and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test were used to test the items and to check for normality of data distribution. SPSS19 was used for data analysis (P<0/001). Results: The results showed that all indices except health care activity had a significant increase. Indicators were: child care activity from 71.5 to 83.6%, activity of pregnant mothers from 65.1 to 77.29%, medical care coverage from 149.5 to 187.6%, death rate reports from 10.9 to 20.4%, mental health care from 7.9 to 11.1%, post-natal care from 75.0 to 84.9%, and the percentage of the covered population from 66.2 to 80.6%. Only the health care activity index did not improve significantly and increased from the average of 180.6 to 200.3%. We saw the lowest growth of the index in health care, which increased from 180.6 to 200.3% Conclusion: Considering the significant impact of the intervention on the indicators, it is predicted that supportive monitoring training will improve the health quality of the country's health system.
