Abstract
Background and Aim: Musculoskeletal disorders may induce by occupational injuries in nurses during work. Assessing work activities by postural analysis in different nursing tasks can identify the hazardous aspects of the job that can be changed by alternative methods to decrease these hazards. The aim of this study was ergonomic evaluation of working postures of nurses and musculoskeletal disorders among them.
Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study all registered nurses in Medical- Surgical wards of Birjand University of Medical Sciences hospitals-Imam Reza and Valiyye Asr- in 2005 were selected. Data was collected using Nordic questionnaire and Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) checklist of 6 more common working postures in nursing. REBA risk level and necessary action were determined by REBA software .Then, the data was analyzed by descriptive and analytic tests.
Results: From 43 nurses assessed 95.3% were females whose mean age was 34.8±5.94 years. 58.1% had B.Sc. Degree and 41% had less than a 5 year work experience. Most musculoskeletal disorders were in the legs (62.8 %) and low back (53.5%). The most probable cause for their disorders was found to be their working condition. In REBA assessing, although all tasks were in moderate risk level, the score was 8 or more, which necessitated taking action when patient handling was done.
Conclusion: According to the obtained results, in educational programs, teaching nurses on body mechanics, and changing the physical demands of the job (using an ergonomic approach) through using assistive devices) must be taken into account.

Abstract
Traditional ice-cream is a type of ice-cream whose all processes of production and distribution are done by hand. The present study aimed at assessing the prevalence of bacterial contamination of traditional ice creams and its decisive factors.
The current study was a descriptive cross-sectional one in Birjand in 2015. The samples were transferred under sterile conditions and cold chain, to a food laboratory. They went through laboratory tests of Enterobacteriaceae bacteria, Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus Cocos. The obtained results were analyzed using SPSS statistical software ( V:15).
The results showed that from among 96 samples collected 25 samples were acceptable while 71 samples were unusable. Maximum contaminations were due to Enterobacteriaceae in 39 cases (40%), and Staphylococcus aureus infection was found in 27 cases, (28%) the least contamination-14 (15%) cases -belonged to E. coli. In addition 39 infection (42.4%) 8 (8.69%) was because of coliforms. Besides, 8 cases were simultaneously contaminated with coliforms, escherichia coli and staphylococcus aureus, 12 samples (13.04%) with coliforms, Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus; and 2 samples (2.17%) were simultaneously contaminated with coliforms and E. coli.
Birjand traditional ice-creams are highly contaminated with bacteria, which is a sign of poor hygiene in the preparation and distribution of this product.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Children due to specific physiological and behavioral characteristics, more than others are at risk of accidents and need care by an adult; therefore, the present study aims to investigate the effect of education in two methods, storytelling and self-learning have been done on the ability of mothers to prevent children's accidents.
Materials and Methods: The present research is a randomized field trial study which was performed on 60 mothers with children aged 1 to 59 months. The research tool is a researcher-made questionnaire whose validity and reliability have been proven. Meetings for training the principles of preventing the common accidents in the province in two "storytelling" and "self-learning" methods were held in 24 training sessions. data analysis was performed by Chi-square, Fisher test, independent t-test, Bonferroni post hoc and repeated ANOVA tests at α=0.05
Results: Both training methods significantly enhanced the empowerment score of the mothers compared to before (P<0.001). Comparing two methods, although there was no significant difference in the mean of power score changes before and the immediately after the intervention, but the average of changes in the score three months later showed a significant difference before and immediately after that and storytelling could have a more effective effect on improving the ability of mothers three months after intervention (P=0.02) and immediately thereafter (P=0.04).
Conclusion: Education in both ways can lead to mothers' ability; however, due to reduced ability score after three months in the self-learning group, storytelling is more effective in mothers.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Nurses as pioneers people in community health and treatment, they have an important role in coordinating and helping injured people at the time of the disaster. Improvement of their preparedness is one of the basic principles of health management in accidents and disasters. Therefore, the aim of this study has been done to determine the effect of educational intervention on nurses' preparedness in accidents and disasters
Materials and Methods: In this single-group quasi experimental, (pre-test, post-test and follow-up), 75 nurses working in hospitals in Birjand were selected by the stratified random sampling method was used. The nurses participated in a disaster risk management workshop for 16 hours over 2 days in a round table exercise. Demographic data form and standard questionnaire of nurses' preparedness and responsiveness to the disasters were completed before, immediately and one month after the intervention. Data were analyzed using SPSS software (Version 16), and statistical analysis of in-group variance, Bonferroni post hoc test and chi-square tests, independent t-test, One-way analysis of variance and Tukey's range post hoc test were performed at a significance level of (0.05).
Results: The mean score of nurses' preparedness before intervention out of 10 scores was 6/47±0/87 and their total mean score of ability and attitude towards disasters before intervention of 5 scores was 3/19±0/72 and 3/28±0/41 respectively. The average total score of preparedness and in the area of empowerment in nurses immediately and one month after intervention than before and the mean score of attitude one month after the intervention was significantly higher than before (p <0.05).
Conclusion: Based on the results, the educational program had a significant effect on increasing nurses' preparedness in accidents and disasters. It is recommended that nursing managers improve nursing staff readiness, conduct continuous training courses with maneuvers.

Abstract
Background and Aims: The National Program for Hospital Preparedness is a comprehensive and unified model for planning and responding to accidents and disasters in hospitals and health centers of the country. The present study aimed to assess the effectiveness of training nurses on The National Program for Hospital Preparedness in their preparedness for disasters and accidents.
Materials and Methods: The randomized controlled intervention study was performed on 62 nurses who were selected by the simple non-randomized sampling method. The research instrument was the Disaster Preparedness Questionnaire (READI). A one-day workshop was organized for nurses' preparedness for disasters in accordance with Hospital Preparedness National Program. The questionnaire was administered to case and control groups in three stages: before, immediately, and two months later. Data were analyzed using Chi-square, Fisher, independent t-test, and Bonferroni, and repeated measures ANOVA. A p-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: As evidenced by the obtained results, the scores of clinical competence, managerial support, team cohesion, environmental competence, and survival skills increased after the educational intervention. Moreover, the total score of nurses' preparedness for disasters was improved from 191±28.4 to 193.4±36.3 and 208.4±35.4 immediately after the program and two months later, respectively (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Training on the National Program for Hospital Preparedness will further enhance nurses' preparedness levels. Due to the peculiar role of nurses in accidents, it is recommended that this program be integrated into nurses 'training courses and students' courses.

Abstract
Background and Aims: The critical importance of metabolic syndrome has necessitated the achievement of effective strategies to overcome the complications of this serious health condition. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of eight weeks of intermittent running training on serum TNF-α levels and insulin resistance in male Wistar rats with metabolic syndrome.
Materials and Methods: This experimental study was conducted on 24 male Wistar rats aged six weeks and weighed 150-180 g. They were purchased from Zahedan University of Medical Sciences and after being fed with a high-fat diet for 12 weeks and the induction of metabolic syndrome model, they were assigned to three equal groups (n=8): training+metabolic syndrome, metabolic syndrome, and healthy control. The intermittent training group performed running with an intensity of 80%-110% maximum intensity for two-eight repetitions on the treadmill. To measure biochemical parameters, blood samples were taken directly from the hearts. All statistical calculations were performed in SPSS software (version 20) using one-way ANOVA and Tukey post hoc test.
Results: Serum TNF-α levels had no significant difference among groups (P=0.11); moreover, no significant differences were observed in insulin resistance among the groups (P=0.71).
Conclusion: Although there were no significant changes in TNF-α and Insulin resistance between groups, probably response to intermittent running training in metabolic syndrome model is affected by training intensity. More investigations are needed to get the mechanisms.
