Objectives: The main goal of care services is provide and promote mankind's health. Patient satisfaction is recognized as an important parameter for assessing the quality of patient care services. Spatially mothers' satisfaction from delivery is very important because it influence on family and society psychological health. The aim of this study was comparing maternal satisfaction about prenatal and postnatal cares in vaginal and cesarean section delivery at teaching and nonteaching hospitals of Tabriz/ Iran. Materials and Methods: This is a descriptive-comparative study. We selected 454 women who had been hospitalized for delivery in Alzahra, Talegani (teaching) and 29Bahman (nonteaching) Tabriz/Iran hospitals. For data collection, we used a questionnaire. Spss/ver13, Descriptive statistic, Independent t test, ANOVA and correlation tests were used for data analysis. Results: Findings indicated the highest level of satisfaction in both kind of hospitals was about physical and the lowest one was about informational aspect in women who had vaginal delivery, accordingly these rates about cesarean section was about physical and about informational and emotional aspects in labor. The analysis of data showed significant difference between mothers' satisfaction with all aspects of care in the teaching and non-teaching hospitals (P < 0.001). Conclusion: The results showed that the highest rank from mothers' satisfaction was in the physical and the lowest rank was in informational category. Mothers were satisfied from vaginal delivery in all aspects. Rate of satisfaction in nonteaching were more than teaching hospitals.

Objectives: Approximately 48% of all pregnancies in the US are unintentional, unplanned, or mistimed and most unplanned pregnancies result from non-continuous, incorrect use or not using a contraceptive method. Choice of a method should be based on the effectiveness and protection provide against unwanted pregnancy. Aim of this study was determining reasons for choosing the traditional method (withdrawal) as contraception. Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional descriptive study. The participants in this study consisted of 387 married women who used withdrawal method. Samples were selected randomly. A questionnaire was used for data collection. Descriptive statistics, Chi square, independent-samples t-test , Pearson test and one-way ANOVA were used for data analysis through SPSS 18. Results: Findings indicated that 121 (31.3%) women chose this method because they were sure that, it has same influences as other contraceptive methods, 114 (29.5%) ones chose it due to fearing of infertility by other contraceptive methods and 64 (16.5%) women said that their husbands are reluctant to use other methods. Conclusion:The results showed that the wrong believes or lack of information cause women to choose this unsafe method. So providing women with necessary information in this field by health care providers can be most effective way for replacing effective methods and preventing unwanted pregnancy.

The present work aims to investigate the effect of the parameters of the laser machining process and laser line angle to injection direction of sample plastics on the electrical resistance of Polymethyl Methyl Methacrylate (PMMA)/Multi-Wall Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNT) Nano-composite. The laser machining process was performed on the samples considering a combination of power, feed rate, and laser line angle with respect to to the direction of melted flow parameters. According to the obtained results from electrical resistance and magnetic properties measurements, this was demonstrated that the laser line angle to the direction of melted flow does not statistically, and physically affect the electrical resistance of the composite. And increasing laser machining power leads to electrical resistance reduction. On another hand, feed rate enhancement (with fixed lasering power) causes increasing the electrical resistance. Moreover, this is found out that laser machining does not significantly affect the magnetic properties of the samples.
