“…Permission to use the original questionnaire [5] and the translated version in Iran was obtained. Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach's alpha coefcient, which was 0.93 in Salvador's study and 0.95 in Ramezanzadeh et al's study [10]. Our analysis yielded a Cronbach's alpha coefcient of 0.91, indicating high internal consistency among the measured variables.…”

Background. By utilizing the nursing care process, healthcare professionals can implement nursing knowledge effectively and efficiently, ultimately leading to a significant improvement in the quality of care provided. Objective. This study aimed to assess writing nursing care plan competence among Ardabil nursing students in northwestern Iran. Methods. The study involved 248 nursing students from the second to eighth semesters in three nursing and midwifery schools located in the Ardabil province of northern Iran. The data were collected using a simple random sampling method and included a demographic questionnaire along with a survey questionnaire on nursing care plan writing skills. This was conducted between May and June 2023. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, t-test, ANOVA, and multiple linear regression analyses were conducted for data analysis. Results. The mean score (SD) for writing a nursing care plan in a student survey was 3.35 (0.57) on a scale of 1 to 5. The survey’s weighted mean score for each dimension is as follows: data gathering (D) = 3.40 (0.73), identification of client’s problems (P) = 3.40 (0.73), sustainable goals (G) = 3.31 (0.77), appropriateness of intervention (I) = 3.30 (0.67), and recognizing outcomes (O) = 3.37 (0.69). This indicates that the students performed well overall. However, the lowest score was in the appropriateness of interventions dimension. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that four variables, mean score of grade point average (GPA), age, academic term, and time spent studying (hours per day), were significant predictors of the student survey’s scores on writing nursing care plans. These variables could predict 61% of the total variance. Implication for Nursing Management. Nursing school administrators can establish programs to improve education and practice in nursing care plan development based on this study. They can use these findings to enhance nursing education and practice for students, which will ultimately lead to better nursing care plans. Administrators should ensure that students have the necessary skills for writing efficient care plans and provide training courses to improve their writing and critical thinking skills. Policies can be implemented to encourage students to increase their study hours and maintain quality care programs. Conclusion. Nursing students are skilled in creating well-written nursing care plans that follow the nursing process. The quality of these plans improves with higher GPAs and longer study hours. To enhance nursing care plans, nursing education should focus on developing skills and allocating sufficient time for studying and practicing. Collaborating with faculty and administrators, as well as using reliable resources, can also help improve the quality of care plans.

“…An attitudinal checklist was developed by the authors to evaluate compliance with self-quarantine orders. The checklist had 13 items, in accordance with the guidelines provided by Iran’s Ministry of Health and Medical Education on how patients with mild to moderate symptoms should quarantine themselves at home (Zamanzadeh, 2020). The checklist is provided in Supplementary Appendix 1, Supplemental digital content http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink.…”

Patients’ personalities seem to affect their response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This study examined the association of personality traits and characteristics of Iranian COVID-19 outpatients with their compliance to nonmandatory quarantine orders. This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2020-2021 on 97 COVID-19 outpatients. The temperament and character inventory-revised short version (TCI-RS) and a self-report checklist assessing compliance with quarantine orders were used to collect data. SPSS was used to analyze the data and P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Of 142 patients who were contacted, 97 participated in the study (68% response rate). The mean age of patients was 39.21 ± 10.27 years and 54 (55.7%) of them were men. Compliance with quarantine orders was correlated with cooperativeness ( r = 0.33; P = 0.001), persistence ( r = 0.23, P = 0.020), self-transcendence ( r = 0.27, P = 0.006) and harm avoidance ( r = -0.26, P = 0.008). Linear regression analysis demonstrated persistence ( P = 0.034), cooperativeness ( P = 0.008) and being married ( P = 0.002) as predictors for following the quarantine orders. Lower levels of cooperativeness, persistence, self-transcendence, and higher levels of harm avoidance are associated with noncompliance with quarantine orders. These traits should be considered while persuasive communication to the public is formulated to recognize the target population and increase compliance with nonmandatory quarantine orders.

Aim This study was conducted to describe the perceptions of nursing applicants about their chosen profession and to explore the factors which influenced their understanding. Design A qualitative study with a conventional content analysis design. Methods Participants were 19 nursing applicants enrolling in nursing schools in three provinces of western Iran. Data were collected using semi‐structured interviews. The content analysis of the interviews was done according to the steps proposed by Zhang and Wildemuth. Results The mean age of participants was 20 years (SD = 2.5), and 11 of them (57.9%) were females. Participants understood the nature of nursing work to encompass only a limited level of independence; they viewed it as a feminine profession, and as a job with spiritual rewards. The perceived content of nursing work included providing help and patient care in the hospital with a focus on performing procedural tasks. Applicants' perceptions of nurses' characteristics included strong physical endurance, communication skills, emotional strength and low intellectual skills. The professional status of nursing was perceived simultaneously as having high job security but limited potential for career advancement and professional growth. The factors reported to influence applicants' perceptions were related to the media, academic–career counsellors, personal factors, and family and friends.
