Aim: The Purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between demographic characterisitics,lifestyle and exposure to stressor events and colorecatal cancer in Rasht, Iran. Methods: The present research was a case-control study in which 150 patients with colorectal cancer were chosen as the case group from educational and treatment centers of Rasht through the convenience sampling method(n=150, colon or rectal cancer Patients),while 150 healthy individuals were chosen as the control group through the random cluster method (n=150, healthy individuals) as control group.Data were collected by using a questionnaire which consisted of three parts:1) demographic data 2) lifestyle data 3) Holmes–Rahe social readjustment rating scale. For analyzing data, the descriptive and deductive statistics were used. Results:Findings related to demographic variables show that there are a significant relationship between BMI (P<0.001), polip history (P<0.001) , Inflammatory Bowel Disease history (P<0.001), diabetes (P<0.01), family history of colorectal cancer in first degree relatives (P<0.001) and this type of cancer.Regarding lifestyle variables,results indicate that there are a statistical difference between the two study groups with consideration of smoking (P<0.01), eating fruits and vegetables (P<0.001), dairy products (P<0.025), red meat intake (P<0.001), defication status (P<0.001) and exercise (P<0.001) .Also there was a significant difference between the said groups' overall lifestyle(P<0.001). The analysis of stressful life events show that the average values of the case group are considerably higher than those of the control group and a statistically significant difference is observed.(T= 14.73, P<0.001). Conclusion: This study indicates significant difference between some demographic characteristics,lifestyle and the level of exposure to stressors events of colorectal cancer patients and healthy people.Results of this study and it's suggestions could be of great importance for healthcare workers and the general public,especially those who are succeptible to the said disease because they can provide more information about risk factors of colorectal cancer and its preventive measures.}, Keywords = {colorectal cancer, lifestyle and stressor events}, volume = {7}, Number = {24}, pages = {6-15}, publisher = {Iranian Nursing Scientific Association}, url = {http://ijnr.ir/article-1-201-en.html}, eprint = {http://ijnr.ir/article-1-201-en.pdf}, journal = {Iranian Journal of Nursing Research}, issn = {1735-7012}, eissn = {1735-9074}, year = {2012} } @article{ author = {Shojaei, Fateme and Ebrahimi, seyyed meisam and Parsayekta, Zohre and Nikbakhtnasrabadi, Alirez}, title = {The study of nursing student\'s gratification and hilarity as a mental health index}, abstract ={Introduction: Psychologists and Sociologists believe that happiness affects the psychological, social, educational and cultural dimensions of all individuals. So to pay attention to this issue as an indicator of students' mental health is very important. Therefore, assessment of nursing students’ happiness is very important because they are encountered to multiple stresses and tensions.

Nursing data forms the first level of nursing informatics. These are essential tools for documentation of nursing process by methodology of assessment, diagnosis, interventions, outcomes, evaluation and documentation of patient care. Nursing minimum data set (NMDS) is the first action for standardization of gathering unified and essential nursing data for using in multiple sets and patient groups. The objective of this research was comparison of data elements of nursing minimum data set. Methods: This was a descriptive-comparative study and was done at 2009. Nursing minimum data set in the US, Thailand, Belgium, Finland, Canada, Netherlands, Swiss surveyed. Data collection was performed through internet search, books and journals. Results presented in statistical tables. Result: Findings showed that all countries had a national NMDS. In all NMDSs, Nursing data elements divided to three groups: Nursing care, patient and service elements. There is a nursing minimum data set for nursing management in US. There is no NMDS in Iran. Conclusion: Since every countries of this study have a domestic NMDS and also there is no standard in Iran for which data elements must include in Electronic Health Records, then creating an Iranian Nursing Minimum Data Set (IrNMDS) is essential. For identifying Iranian NMDS, we recommend that a professional and legal organization administer to creating of a NMDS.}, Keywords = {Data Element, Nursing, Minimum Data Set, Nursing Informatics, Information Sciences, Nursing Minimum Data Set}, volume = {7}, Number = {24}, pages = {45-52}, publisher = {Iranian Nursing Scientific Association}, url = {http://ijnr.ir/article-1-562-en.html}, eprint = {http://ijnr.ir/article-1-562-en.pdf}, journal = {Iranian Journal of Nursing Research}, issn = {1735-7012}, eissn = {1735-9074}, year = {2012} } @article{ author = {arab, mansour and abasazadeh, abas and ranjbar, hadi and poraboli, betol and rayani, masou}, title = {Survey of psychosocial problems in thalassemic children and their siblings}, abstract ={Introduction: Beta-thalessemia is a chronic disease that can cause psychosocial problems in patients and their sibling.
