Read More Background: This study aimed to determine factors affecting compliance with Hand Hygiene (HH) from the perspective of the health care team working in the pediatric intensive care unit of a children's tertiary center, Ali -Asghar hospital, in Tehran, Iran.Methods: we recruited 35 Pediatric ICU health care workers, including nurses, attending physicians and medical students, selected by purposive sampling between February to November 2020. Data were collected using deep semi-structured interviews, and analyzed through Graneheim and Lundman’s (2004) qualitative conventional content analysis method. All interviews were recorded and typed in the MAXQDA software and then analyzed in eight steps including writing interviews, determining the semantic units, text coding, matching codes with text, categorizing and developing categories, reviewing the categories, identifying the sub themes and reporting the findings.Results: 68.5% of the participants were female, with an average age of 32.7 years and work experience of 8.6 years. After reviewing all codes obtained, 4 main categories were finally extracted. (I) Meta-organizational factors including two subcategories of macro-health policy, sanctions and economic problems, (II) Organizational factors including three subcategories of incoherence in observing the rules, monitoring and evaluation, and the prevailing attitude of the organization, (III) Individual factors including three subcategories of attitude of the health care team towards patients, skin reactions to hand sanitizers, concerns about their own health and health of their family, (IV) Characteristics of the clinical environment including three subcategories of professional relationships, special conditions governing the pediatric ICU, and care facilities.Conclusion: Overall, 234 codes were extracted from the interviews and after the integration of similarities, four key themes including Meta-organizational factors, Organizational factors, Individual factors and Characteristics of the clinical environment were obtained indicating factors affecting hand hygiene performance of the PICU health care team.

Read More Background: Oral health is one of the most important dimensions of individual health, so in order to assess the status of oral health in a community, it is necessary to conduct various epidemiological studies at different stages to determine the effectiveness of prevention and oral health programs in a community. The aim of this study was to determine some of the factors associated with dental caries in primary school students in Hamadan in 2019.Methods: In this case-control study, information about students with dental caries and controls was extracted by referring to schools in the four education districts of Hamadan (A girls' school and a boys' school were selected from each district). The total sample size was 980 people and 30 cases and 90 controls were selected from each school. For determining dental caries status a final year dental student examined the students. Logistic regression model was used to evaluate the risk factors for the disease. All analyses of this study were analyzed using Stata software, version 14.Results: A total of 240 cases and 740 controls were studied in this study. The mean dmft in primary school students in Hamadan was 1.86 ± 2.92. Among them, the first and second grade students had the highest caries rate. The results of the logistic regression model showed that the risk of tooth decay in people with severe toothache is almost twice as high as that in people who do not have toothache. This rate is more than 1.5 times higher for students whose fathers are workers than for those whose fathers are self-employed. Also, as the number of family members increased, the chances of developing tooth decay increased linearly. The odds of tooth decay in people who do not brush and floss are 2.84 and 2.13, respectively, more than people who brush and floss three times a day.Conclusion: In our study, having severe toothache, lack of parental supervision over the children's oral health, employment and education of parents, family dimension, not using toothbrush, flossing and mouthwash, excessive consumption of sweets, lack of regular visits to the dentist, and low dairy consumption were associated with tooth decay.

Read More Background: Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) is spontaneous rupture of fetal membranes before 37 weeks of gestation. PPROM cases that are clinically stable with no sign or symptom of intrauterine infection and normal fetal assessment are usually managed expectantly in hospital settings or at home. This study aimed at comparing the inpatient and outpatient management among women with uncomplicated PPROM.Methods: This non-randomized clinical trial was performed in an academic hospital, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences in 2017-2018. Women with confirmed PPROM who received initial treatments during the primary 72 hours of hospitalization were assigned into inpatient (n=45) or outpatient (n=35) management groups according to the patient's decision. The obstetrical, maternal and neonatal outcomes under the focus of this study included latency period, gestational age at delivery, delivery route, delivery reason, WBC and neutrophil count, neonates’ weight, Apgar score, NICU admission, and death in the first 28 days after delivery. Data were analyzed by Statistical Package for Social Science (IBM SPSS) version 23. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: Among 120 patients assessed for eligibility criteria, 80 patients were enrolled and the data of 68 participants was analyzed. Women in outpatient group had significantly longer latency period than women in inpatient group (18.7±12.9 vs.7.1±5.8days, p<0.001). The rate of vaginal delivery was 77.5% (n=31) in inpatients group vs.57.1% (n=16) in the outpatient group (p=0.1), no significant difference was found regarding cesarean indications, pregnancy termination indication, GA at delivery and WBC or neutrophil count (p>0.05). Neonatal Apgar score, death, and NICU admission rate or period were not significantly different between the two groups (p>0.05).Conclusion: Homecare for the selected PPROM women could be a suitable expectant strategy without compromising neonatal or maternal outcomes.

Read More Background: Ductus arteriosus (DA) is a vascular structure that makes a link between the proximal descending aorta and main pulmonary artery near the origin of the left pulmonary artery. The present study aimed to assess the changes of LA/Ao ratio after PDA closure in children.Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 635 children with PDA in the Ali Asghar clinic, Zahedan, Iran, from 2003 to 2019. The participants were followed for at least one year after discharge from the hospital after intervention. PDA diagnosis was conducted in accordance with the echocardiography performed by a pediatric cardiologist using Mylab 60 and challenged 7000 made in Italy. The analyses were performed by SPSS 20.00, considering 0.05 as the significant error.Results: As compared to the baseline measures before the interventions, the growth rates of LA/Ao ratio decreased by 24% and 10% in the first and second 6 months after the intervention. During the first 6 months after the intervention, the percentages of LA/Ao ratio reduction were 23%, 25% and 22% in small, medium and large PDA while these percentages were 7%, 13% and 16% during the second 6 months after the intervention, respectively. Regarding the intervention, the percentages were 25%, 24%, 24% and 24% in PDAs that were, respectively, closed by medication, surgery, occlusion device and VATS in the first six months after the intervention. The percentages were, respectively, 9%, 10%, 11% and 9% for the second 6 months after the intervention. The percentages were, respectively, 24%, 24% and 21% in those PDAs with residuals, no complication and PH in the first six months after the intervention. This pattern was, respectively, 8%, 9% and 16.6% for the second 6 months after the intervention.Conclusion: It was concluded that LA/AO ratio had the highest decrease during the first six months after the intervention, so that PDAs with moderate sizes or those who had medication as intervention or those with residual complications had the highest percentages of reduction.
