Examining the relationship between depression and medication adherence among elderlies suffering from cardiovascular disease referring to the clinics affiliated with Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences: A cross-sectional study.

Background: In recent years, around 30% of all mortalities worldwide has been related to cardiovascular disease (CVD). The most important predictor solution of cardiovascular events is enhancing medication adherence. Meanwhile, the main reason behind development of physical disorders among the elderly is depression. In this regard, the present research was performed to determine the relationship between depression and medication adherence among the elderly suffering from CVD. Methods: A cross-sectional study was done via an analytical approach on 188 elderlies fulfilling the inclusion criteria. The participants were chosen through convenience nonrandomized sampling from March to July 2022. The data were collected through demographic and healthcare information form plus Madanloo chronic disease medication adherence and geriatric depression scale. The analysis of the data was done by SPSS 26 plus Stata 14.2. Results: The mean depression score was 5.6(4.3) and the mean score of medication adherence in the elderlies was 168.03(23.85). The prevalence of depression was higher in women than in men (p = 0.015), and the elderlies differing from heart failure reported the minimum extent of medication adherence. The findings obtained from analysis of variance showed that age, level of education, and monthly level of income were among the effective demographic factors in the extent of depression and medication adherence (p < 0.05). Meanwhile, 26% of changes in medication adherence can be attributed to depression. Further, the results of the multiple linear regression model reported that depression, age, and polypharmacy are among the predictors of medication adherence. Discussion and Conclusion: A weak to moderate relationship existed between depression and medication adherence among these elderlies. Given the growing elderly population, the importance of depression, and lack of medication adherence in incidence of CVD events, it is recommended to train the healthcare team to monitor the elderly regarding depression symptoms.

The Effect of Family-Centered and Peer-Centered Education on the Sleep Quality of Hemodialysis Patients: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Introduction: Sleep disorders in hemodialysis patients are of high prevalence affecting the lives of these patients. Objective: The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of family-centered and peer-centered education on the sleep quality of hemodialysis patients. Methods: In this controlled clinical trial, 90 patients were randomly assigned to three groups (control, family-centered, and peer-centered). All three groups completed Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index before the intervention. The intervention included five training sessions conducted by the researcher according to the patients' needs to improve their sleep quality. Routine ward interventions were performed for the control group. At the end of the study, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index was completed by all three groups once again. Data were collected and analyzed using SPSS version 24 software and statistical tests. Results: No significant difference was found between the two intervention and control groups regarding demographic variables and variables related to sleep quality before the intervention (p < .05). However, based on the results of the Wilcoxon test, there was a statistically significant difference between the mean rank of sleep quality in the intervention and control groups after the intervention (p-value = .008), indicating that sleep hygiene education was effective in the two intervention groups. Conclusion: According to the findings, the mean rank of sleep quality in the two intervention groups was significant after the training, indicating the effectiveness of family-centered and peer-centered education. Accordingly, medical healthcare managers, policymakers, and planners, including nurses, are recommended to employ these convenient, safe, and cost-free training methods and provide better sleep quality and more comfort to patients by spending a short period of time for training.

BACKGROUND: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is one of the serious developmental disorders that is usually diagnosed below the age of three years. Although the severity of the disease's symptoms varies from patient to patient, the ability to communicate with others is affected in all forms of ASD. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of ASD in high-risk groups by continent. METHODS: The present study was conducted by systematic review and meta-analysis from 2008 to July 2021. Databases such as Science Direct, PubMed, Scopus, SID, Magiran, Web of Science (WoS), and Google Scholar from 2008 to July 2021 were searched to find related studies. Data were analysed using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software (Version 2). RESULTS: A total of 74 studies with 30,212,757 participants were included in this study. The prevalence of ASD in the world was 0.6% (95% confidence interval: 0.4-1%). Subgroup analyses indicated that the prevalence of ASD in Asia, America, Europe, Africa and Australia was 0.4% (95% CI: 0.1-1), 1% (95% CI: 0.8-1.1), 0.5% (95% CI: 0.2-1), 1% (95% CI: 0.3-3.1), 1.7% (95% CI: 0.5-6.1) respectively. CONCLUSION: ASD imposes a heavy health burden on communities around the world. Early detection of ASD can reduce the incidence of developmental disorders and improve patients' communication skills. Therefore, health policymakers need to be aware of the prevalence and increasing trend of ASD to implement appropriate planning and interventions to reduce its consequences.

The effect of obstructive sleep apnea on the increased risk of cardiovascular disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a disorder characterized by intermittent airway obstruction during sleep. The association between OSA and the incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been investigated in many studies; however, the results are not entirely consistent between studies. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between OSA and the risk of CVD through a meta-analysis of cohort studies. METHODS: A systematic review and meta-analysis of literature was conducted using the PubMed, WoS, Embase, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Web of Science databases up to the year 2020. In order to analyze the eligible studies, the stochastic effects model was used and the heterogeneity of the studies with the I2 index was investigated. Data analysis was performed with Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software (Version 2). RESULTS: A total of 24 studies were included in the meta-analysis according to the inclusion criteria. Twelve studies reported CVD results, 11 studies reported stroke results, 9 studies reported mortality results, and 8 studies reported CVD results. The odds ratio of CVD in patients with OSA 1.71 (1.17-2.27: 95% confidence interval) stroke in patients with OSA, 1.86 (1.28-2.69: 95% confidence interval), mortality in patients with OSA, 1.77 (1.37-2.29: 95% confidence interval) and CHD in patients with OSA, and 1.48 (1.06-2.28: 95% confidence interval) was obtained. CONCLUSION: OSA is considered a cardiovascular risk factor. There is a relationship between the severity of OSA and the risk of cardiovascular disease. OSA increases the risk of heart attack, CHD, and death from cardiovascular disease.

Treatment of chronic insomnia with atypical antipsychotics: results from a follow-up study.

OBJECTIVE: Second generation (atypical) antipsychotics are increasingly being used for treatment of insomnia, but there is little evidence to show long-term efficacy of these medication. This follow-up study was designed to assess patients with chronic insomnia who were treated with atypical antipsychotics. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In this follow-up study, forty patients with chronic insomnia were evaluated between 2016 and 2018 following after one year of treatment with two atypical antipsychotic drugs of olanzapine and quetiapine in two groups in the sleep disorders research center of Kermanshah University of Medical Science in Iran. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Questionnaire (PSQI) and 5 consecutive nights of Actigraphy were utilized to evaluate both subjective and objective measures of sleep quality. Lastly, sleep quality before and after treatment and comparisons of sleep quality between the two groups were performed. RESULTS: Nine male participants comprised olanzapine group (n=22) and six male participants comprised the quetiapine group (n=18). The average age in the olanzapine group was 45.23±10.18 and the average age in the quetiapine group was 46.33±7.99. Results showed total PSQI score improved significantly in both groups (p<0.05), while the actigraphy results showed only significant improvement in sleep quality parameters in the quetiapine group (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: Two atypical antipsychotics drugs of olanzapine and quetiapine have long-term efficacy in managing chronic insomnia. More improvements in objective sleep quality with quetiapine is promising for patients with chronic insomnia. Further research to evaluate long-term adverse effects of atypical antipsychotic drugs is recommended.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of prevalence of insomnia in the third trimester of pregnancy.

BACKGROUND: Sleep disorders, which are among the foremost important medical care issues, are prevalent in pregnancy. The present study is a meta-analysis of the prevalence of insomnia in the third trimester of pregnancy. This study aims to systematically review the overall prevalence of insomnia in the third trimester of pregnancy through conducting a meta-analysis. METHOD: The literature used in this meta-analysis for the topic discussed above were obtained through searching several databases, including SID, MagIran, IranDoc, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science (WoS), PubMed Science Direct and Google Scholar databases without time limitation until December 2020. Articles developed based on cross-sectional studies were included in the study. The heterogeneity of studies was investigated using the I2 index. Also, the possible effects of heterogeneity in the studied studies are investigated using meta-regression analysis. RESULT: In 10 articles and 8798 participants aged between11-40, the overall prevalence of insomnia in the third trimester of pregnancy based on meta-analysis was 42.4% (95% CI: 32.9-52.5%). It was reported that as the sample size increases, the prevalence of insomnia in the third trimester of pregnancy increases. Conversely, as the year of research increases, the prevalence of insomnia in the third trimester of pregnancy decreases. Both of these differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Insomnia was highly prevalent in the last trimester of pregnancy. Sleep disorders are neglected among pregnant women, and they are considered natural. While sleep disturbances can cause mental and physical problems in pregnant women, they can consequently cause problems for the fetus. As a result, maintaining the physical and mental health of pregnant mothers is very important. It is thus recommended that in addition to having regular visits during pregnancy, pregnant women should also be continuously monitored for sleep-related disorders.

Validity and reliability of the Persian version of the nurse spiritual care therapeutics scale (NSCTS).

BACKGROUND: Dealing with the spiritual needs of patients has been recognized as one of the principles of holistic care in nursing. Therefore, it is necessary for nurses to deal with the spiritual issues of patients. Also, a valid and reliable scale is needed to measure nurse-provided spiritual care. So the purpose of this study was to determine the validity and reliability of the Persian version of the "Nurse Spiritual Care Therapeutics Scale" in Iranian nurses. METHOD: In a methodological study, English version of the Nurse Spiritual Care Therapeutics Scale was translated into Persian by forward-backward translation procedure. Face validity was assessed by cognitive interview, and content validity was assessed by a panel of experts. In addition, construct validity was assessed by exploratory factor analysis. The participants were 188 nurses working in different adult wards. Reliability was measured using the Cronbach's alpha and stability reliability was assessed using the internal correlation coefficient (ICC). RESULTS: In assessing the construct validity, two factors with eigenvalues greater than 1 were identified, which explained 58.47% of the total variance. Cronbach's alpha value was 0.932, and ICC was 0.892. CONCLUSION: As a result, the Persian version of the Nurse Spiritual Care Therapeutics Scale shows a good validity and reliability. Therefore, this scale can be used to evaluate spiritual care at the bedside in Iran.

The prevalence of stress, anxiety and depression within front-line healthcare workers caring for COVID-19 patients: a systematic review and meta-regression.

BACKGROUND: Stress, anxiety, and depression are some of the most important research and practice challenges for psychologists, psychiatrists, and behavioral scientists. Due to the importance of issue and the lack of general statistics on these disorders among the Hospital staff treating the COVID-19 patients, this study aims to systematically review and determine the prevalence of stress, anxiety and depression within front-line healthcare workers caring for COVID-19 patients. METHODS: In this research work, the systematic review, meta-analysis and meta-regression approaches are used to approximate the prevalence of stress, anxiety and depression within front-line healthcare workers caring for COVID-19 patients. The keywords of prevalence, anxiety, stress, depression, psychopathy, mental illness, mental disorder, doctor, physician, nurse, hospital staff, 2019-nCoV, COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2 and Coronaviruses were used for searching the SID, MagIran, IranMedex, IranDoc, ScienceDirect, Embase, Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science (ISI) and Google Scholar databases. The search process was conducted in December 2019 to June 2020. In order to amalgamate and analyze the reported results within the collected studies, the random effects model is used. The heterogeneity of the studies is assessed using the I2 index. Lastly, the data analysis is performed within the Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software. RESULTS: Of the 29 studies with a total sample size of 22,380, 21 papers have reported the prevalence of depression, 23 have reported the prevalence of anxiety, and 9 studies have reported the prevalence of stress. The prevalence of depression is 24.3% (18% CI 18.2-31.6%), the prevalence of anxiety is 25.8% (95% CI 20.5-31.9%), and the prevalence of stress is 45% (95% CI 24.3-67.5%) among the hospitals' Hospital staff caring for the COVID-19 patients. According to the results of meta-regression analysis, with increasing the sample size, the prevalence of depression and anxiety decreased, and this was statistically significant (P < 0.05), however, the prevalence of stress increased with increasing the sample size, yet this was not statistically significant (P = 0.829). CONCLUSION: The results of this study clearly demonstrate that the prevalence of stress, anxiety and depression within front-line healthcare workers caring for COVID-19 patients is high. Therefore, the health policy-makers should take measures to control and prevent mental disorders in the Hospital staff.

The prevalence of sleep disturbances among physicians and nurses facing the COVID-19 patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND: In all epidemics, healthcare staff are at the centre of risks and damages caused by pathogens. Today, nurses and physicians are faced with unprecedented work pressures in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in several psychological disorders such as stress, anxiety and sleep disturbances. The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of sleep disturbances in hospital nurses and physicians facing the COVID-19 patients. METHOD: A systematic review and metanalysis was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA criteria. The PubMed, Scopus, Science direct, Web of science, CINHAL, Medline, and Google Scholar databases were searched with no lower time-limt and until 24 June 2020. The heterogeneity of the studies was measured using I2 test and the publication bias was assessed by the Egger's test at the significance level of 0.05. RESULTS: The I2 test was used to evaluate the heterogeneity of the selected studies, based on the results of I2 test, the prevalence of sleep disturbances in nurses and physicians is I2: 97.4% and I2: 97.3% respectively. After following the systematic review processes, 7 cross-sectional studies were selected for meta-analysis. Six studies with the sample size of 3745 nurses were examined in and the prevalence of sleep disturbances was approximated to be 34.8% (95% CI: 24.8-46.4%). The prevalence of sleep disturbances in physicians was also measured in 5 studies with the sample size of 2123 physicians. According to the results, the prevalence of sleep disturbances in physicians caring for the COVID-19 patients was reported to be 41.6% (95% CI: 27.7-57%). CONCLUSION: Healthcare workers, as the front line of the fight against COVID-19, are more vulnerable to the harmful effects of this disease than other groups in society. Increasing workplace stress increases sleep disturbances in the medical staff, especially nurses and physicians. In other words, increased stress due to the exposure to COVID-19 increases the prevalence of sleep disturbances in nurses and physicians. Therefore, it is important for health policymakers to provide solutions and interventions to reduce the workplace stress and pressures on medical staff.
