Impact determination of strength and resistance training on Glycoside hemoglobin and blood sugar on patients with type II diabetes”
Background : This study determined the impact of strength and resistance training on hemoglobin Glycoside and glucose in type II diabetic patients in Khorramabad in 2009.
Materials and Methods: This quasi-experimental study was carried out on 30 men with type 2 diabetes referred to laboratories in Khorramabad, selected by screening and interview and purposeful sampling . After the subjects completed questionnaires of medical records and written consent, they were randomly divided into three groups: endurance training, strength and control groups. Conditions for participants were: over 30 years of age, blood sugar 150-250, the absence of any other chronic disease and history of sports last three months, stroke, hypertension, diabetes and severe complications . Before training, the subjects were fasting for 8-12 hours and then blood sampling was performed. Strength training and endurance for 8 weeks under coach concerned were applied. Strength training includes 10 motions for muscles and for each move three to four sets and sets of 10 to 12 repeats were considered and the principle of overload followed during the eight weeks . Endurance exercise was running on a treadmill machine with a maximum heart rate 60%. Ten subjects in the control group followed and performed the recommendations till end of the study. After the eight-week training period, post test (blood test) done. Data were analyzed using SPSS statistical software.T pairs was used to compare means(Pre test, Post test).
Results: 29 subjects in three groups of exercises were conducted until the end. Average age, weight, BMI and the amount of drug in the three groups showed no significant difference statistically (p=0/76). Reduction in glaciated hemoglobin before and after the endurance test, showed significant differences (p =0/02 ).
Conclusion: This study shows that endurance training reduces Glycoside hemoglobin levels, the amount of strength training, although it did not significantly reduce, the strength training appears to cause more significant changes
The Effect of an Active Educational Method on Critical Thinking of Nursing Students in Lorestan University of Medical Sciences
Introduction: One of the most important and basic goals of nursing education is the development of critical thinking. Critical thinking is known as an integral component of nursing. This study investigated the effect of an active educational method on nursing students’ critical thinking capability.
Methods: This is a quasi-experimental interventional study performed on 60 nursing students (30 in each group). First, California Critical Thinking test questionnaire were filled by the participants. The intervention group was trained using an active method based on critical thinking questions at a period of 9 clinical sessions. In the last session, California Critical Thinking test questionnaire was again refilled by the participants. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t, and paired t tests.
Results: There were no significant differences between two groups in terms of background variables before the study. In test of critical thinking, no significant differences were observed in the control group before and after intervention. But there was statistically significant difference in the intervention group (p<0.001) and this active educational method could elevate critical thinking ability in intervention group. The normal clinical education program in control group was not successful in improving students’ critical thinking skills.
Conclusion: The increase in students’ total score of critical thinking, analytical skills, and deductive reasoning reflects the valuable effect of this active educational method on students

It was conducted through semi-structured interviews with two focus groups, incorporating 28 nurses working in pediatric wards. Unstructured observation and field notes were other methods of data collection. Purposive sampling continued until data saturation was ensured. All interviews were tape recorded and transcribed in verbatim. Results: Three main categories and 12 subcategories emerged from this study. The facilitating factors include (1) individual competencies (knowledge, experience, emotional intelligence, and loving children), (2) ethical imprinting (responsibility, reflection, empathy, and ethical beliefs), and (3) an environment that nurtures moral values (organizational, spiritual, family, and cultural environments) as facilitating factors. Conclusions: The promotion of nurses' competencies, ethical virtues, and imprinting, as well as improvement of the quality of nursing care must be the top priority of the health team.
