Background: Although the work environment of oncology nurses is highly complex and challenging, their occupational health needs are scarcely studied. This study aimed to explore the occupational health needs of oncology nurses.

Materials And Methods: This qualitative descriptive study was conducted in 2018-2019.

Occupational stressors in oncology nurses: A qualitative descriptive study.

Aim And Objectives: The present study aims at exploring oncology nurses' perceptions regarding work-related stressors.

Background: Oncology nurses work in an environment with a high degree of stress, which can negatively affect their health. There is limited research on work-related stressors from the oncology nurses' perspective.

Oncology Nurses' Needs Respecting Healthy Work Environment in Iran: A Descriptive Exploratory Study.

Objective: The work environment of oncology nurses is often unpleasant due to the complexities of cancer treatment and care. Yet, there is limited information about their perspectives on healthy work environment (HWE) and their HWE-related needs. This study aimed to explore oncology nurses' HWE-related needs.

Comparison of multiple blood pressure frequency methods with optimum blood pressure measurement among Iranian individuals.

Background: Proper blood pressure (BP) measurement frequency method is less evaluated to optimize hypertension (HTN) status among different nations due to cultural patience variations. The aim of this study was to compare the first (BP), second (BP), and the mean of first and second (BP) and all the three (BP) with the second and third BP measurements in Iranian individuals.

Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study was done on 2264 individuals aged 18 years or more living in Isfahan city, Iran.

The effect of a lifestyle management educational program on blood pressure, heart rate, and body mass index in patients with hypertension.

Background: Hypertension (HTN) is one of the most prevalent risk factors for arteriosclerosis and coronary artery disease (CAD). Its side effects can be decreased through the use of some methods and interventions. The present study was conducted with the aim to evaluate the effects of a lifestyle management on blood pressure, heart rate, and body mass index (BMI) of patients with HTN who have undergone angioplasty.

A clinical trial on the effect of a multifaceted intervention on blood pressure control and medication adherence in patients with uncontrolled hypertension.

Background: Hypertension (HTN) is the key risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a multifaceted intervention on blood pressure (BP) control and medication adherence (MA) among patients with uncontrolled HTN.

Methods: A randomized controlled clinical trial study was conducted on 72 patients in the emergency ward who were selected through convenience sampling method.

Development and evaluation of the psychometric properties of a hypertension self-care questionnaire.

Background: There are a number of tools to assess self-care in hypertension (HTN), but they do not cover all the dimensions of self-care and do not have a good reliability and validity. This study was conducted to develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of a tool for self-care assessment in HTN.

Methods: This cross-sectional, methodological study was conducted in Isfahan, Iran.

Comparing the Effect of Henna Oil and Olive Oil on Pressure Ulcer Grade One in Intensive Care Units Patients.

Background: One of the most common problems in the intensive care unit (ICU) is the incidence of pressure ulcer or bedsore.
