Abstract
Abstract Aim.The aim of this study was to review the physical and social environment monitoring of the intensive care unit and examine how it affects the physiological status of the patient and family needs. Background.Knowledge and skill in providing nursing care are the main factors affecting the recovery of patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). While a nurse or nursing unit can possess perfect critical care skills and knowledge, those are not the only factors that influence patient recovery. Including nursing skills in ICU is environmental monitoring and creating a pleasant environment with minimal stress. This monitoring includes control of light, sound, color, landscape, music and social support. Method.This review was conducted by searching electronic databases and hand searching of library resources. Finding articles and research projects was conducted by using keywords on the internet and relevant sites. Findings.Improvement of the environment in which care is provided not only helps in the healing process for patients, but also increases employee satisfaction and families affected. Environmental monitoring reduces stressful factors from ICU to rectify the effects of these wards for patients and also, reduces staff stress. Conclusion.The use of research findings is an important part of improving the quality of care for patients in intensive care units and their families. The ICU setting has the potential to afford patients the best possible opportunity to heal if key stress-reducing elements are incorporated into its physical design. Such elements may reduce noise, offer privacy, add full-spectrum lighting, and assimilate color. As well as considering the physical design, a critical program that integrates the family and other healing measures is essential to the milieu of a healing environment.

Abstract
Aim. The aim of this study was to design and examine the psychometrics of post-traumatic stress disorder tool for children undergoing heart surgery
Background. Heart disease is one of the most important health issues and traumatic events that cause great harm to children, one of which is the experience of surgery. Therefore, we need a standard tool to assess post-traumatic stress disorder in children.
Method. In this methodological study, researchers compiled a questionnaire for measuring post-traumatic stress disorder in children undergoing heart surgery. The questionnaire was provided to 10 experts to examine the validity. In the next step, 40 items, revised by experts, were examined for construct validity and reliability based on the responses of 200 children 12-18 years old to questionnaire. The data were analyzed in SPSS version 24 and LISREL version 10.
Findings. After preparing the draft, the questionnaire was given to 10 experts to determine face and content validity. For face validity, the impact score of the items was computed and due to similar meaning of some items they were merged. In order to determine the content validity, two indexes of content validity ratio (CVR) and content validity index (CVI) were considered. According to Lauche's table, items with a content validity ratio less than 0.62 were excluded (7 items), items with a content validity ratio greater than 0.79 were accepted, and items with a content validity ratio between 0.70 and 0.79 were revised. In the construct validity stage, to ensure the sufficient sample size, the Kaiser-Meier-Elkin (KMO) test was performed and the results of Bartlett's Sphericity test were significant (P≤0.0001). Finally, exploratory factor analysis was performed with Varimax rotation on 40 items, and 7 items with a factor loading of less than 0.4 were removed, and in the end, 33 items remained. To determine the reliability of the questionnaire using the internal consistency method, Cronbach's alpha of the questions were computed and it was above 0.80 for all items. The test-retest results confirmed the significant relationship between the pre-test and post-test scores in 7 factors of the questionnaire (P≤0.0001).
Conclusion. In order to achieve more accurate results in research, it is necessary to use valid and reliable tools. The results of this study showed the strength of the factor structure and acceptable reliability of the post-traumatic stress tool for children undergoing heart surgery. The tool designed in this study is valid and reliable and can be used to determine post-traumatic stress in children undergoing heart surgery.
