Abstract

For promoting spiritual care we have to consider the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of the human. The studies showed that many patients believe that spirituality plays an important role in their life they believe there is a positive relationship between their recovery and religious and spiritual aspects. Many patients expect health care personnel consider these factorsMethod A descriptive comparative design was used to conduct the study. “Spiritual care perspective scale” (SCPS) was completed by 110 nursing and 220 medical students. Data were analysed by SPSS.Findings Based on the findings, 56% of nursing students and 51.8% of medical students have positive attitude on the spiritual care of patients. There was no statistically significant difference between attitudes of the two groups of students. Nursing students had more favorable attitude about existing a superior force or transcendental existence influencing spiritual health. Medical students had more favorable attitudes about considering spiritual care as part of the caring performance.Conclusion Paying more attention to the spirituality and spiritual care in educational programs for those who provide health services seems to be necessary for educational planning authorities.

Annually, there are 66000 HBV, 16000 HCV, and thousands of HIV cases as a results of contact with sharp instruments among health care personnel around the world. Nurses are almost involved in all sharp instrument injuries. Method. This descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 76 nurses of medical-surgical wards and 44 nurses of intensive care units. Data were collected by using Virginia University Questionnaire (Prevention Information Network) for assessing sharp instrument injuries. The data was analyzed by SPSS software. Findings.

Also, 55.8% of all patients have done no action after injury, %35 of them is followed by wards and 9.2% of them are not followed by wards. Conclusion.

Abstract
Aim. This study aimed to examine the effect of open visiting hours on sleep quality, anxiety, and satisfaction of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG).
Background. The importance of visiting patients after CABG has been emphasized in various studies, but there is insufficient evidence to confirm whether restricted /open visits may have more positive or negative effects than each other.
Method. In this clinical trial study, 60 post-CABG patients, admitted to Shahid Rajaei Cardiovascular, Medical and Research center, were randomly selected and divided into experimental (n=30) and control group (n=30). Patients in experimental group received an open visiting schedule (free visiting) and those in control group experienced a regular visiting schedule (restricted visiting). Anxiety was measured on the second and fourth days of hospitalization by the Spielberger Anxiety Inventory (STAI), sleep quality was measured by Richard Campbell and satisfaction was assessed through researcher-made questionnaire on the fourth day of hospitalization. Data were analyzed using independent t-test in SPSS-20 software.
Findings. There was a statistically significant difference between control and experimental groups in terms of anxiety mean score (43.97±6.76 against 35.90±4.31, respectively) (p≤0.0001). There was also a statistically significant difference between control and experimental groups in terms of mean score of patient satisfaction (46.13±7.15 vs 32.23±4.67, respectively) (p≤0.0001). A statistically significant difference was found between control and experimental groups in terms of sleep quality mean score (2.33±0.8 vs 3.33±0.75, respectively) (p≤0.0001).
Conclusion. Open visiting can reduces anxiety, and improves sleep quality and patients' satisfaction after CABG.
