Abstract:
Introduction: EQ is one of the determinants of human reaction to life events. In this study, the EQ of addicts visiting the rehabilitation centers of Rafsanjan University of Medical Sciences in 2013 was evaluated.
Method: This descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study was carried out on 122 addicts and 119 healthy people as controls. Addict subjects were chosen from the addicts visiting six rehabilitation centers of Rafsanjan Medical University. Participants were evaluated by BAR-ON questionnaire including 90 questions in four sub-categories of problem solving, emotional self- awareness, inter personal relationship and responsibility. Independent t-test and ANOVA wereused for analysis through SPSS19.
Results: The two groups of addicts and controls showed significant differencein regard to EQ and the sub-categories of emotional self-awareness, interpersonal relationships and responsibility (P<0.001), but no difference in problem solving sub-category (P=0.074). Demographic variables such as age, gender, marital status or educational level did not affect EQ or its sub-categories.
Conclusion: It can be assumed that higher EQ decreases the tendency toward addiction and the probability of addiction is less in people who have a higher emotional self-awareness, better interpersonal relations and accept more responsibility.
Key words: EQ, Emotional intelligence, Opium addicts, Rafsanjan

Abstract
Introduction:Due to the need for transition from accrual accounting as the first phase of health financial management reform to unit cost as the second phase of this reform, this study was conducted in 2012 to investigate the most important constraints faced by Medical Sciences Universities against this reform.
Method:This was a qualitative study throughhapplying Delphi method. Fifteen experts including resource development assistants and financial managers of Medical Universities accompanied with experts in health new financial management reform from Ministry of Health and Medical Education were attended 3 rounds of Delphi for achieving agreement.
Results:Findings indicated that the most potential constraint belongs to the “need for human resource empowerment in executive body of the universities”. “Novelty of unit cost in health sector” and “lack of previous similar experience” were also identified as the first actual limitations in establishing the second phase of health financial management reform.
Conclusion:Considering the complete establishment of accrual accounting as one of the most important pre requisites for unit cost success, in order to flatten the way for reform,it is necessary to prepare a unique and specific framework and guideline for unit cost of services through contribution of all departments and branches of MOHME and financial officers of Universities of Medical Sciences.

Abstract
Introduction: Prenatal cares are provided with the aim of maintaining a healthy pregnancy in regard to the physical and psychological health of both mother and her baby. This study was carried out to assess the quantity and quality of prenatal care in Jahrom/ Iran.
Method: The cross-sectional study was conducted on 531 urban and rural pregnant women. Data were collected by “Integrated Management Evaluation System” check list that was prepared by Health Ministry. The quantity of care was classified as adequate in case of at least 6 prenatal visits before the end of the first trimester and the first visit before the end of the first trimester; otherwise, it was classified as inadequate. The quality of care was determined as appropriate and inappropriate based on the standards of prenatal care.
Results: In whole, 242 pregnant women had received adequate care and the rate of adequate care in rural areas was significantly higher than that in urban area. The quantity of care in urban area (45%) was significantly higher than in rural area (51%). The quality of care was appropriate in 333 women and it was significantly higher in rural area (68.9%) than in urban area (56.6%). Urinary infection and anemia were significantly more prevalent in rural women than in urban women.
Conclusion: The rate of pregnancy complications was higher in rural women despite better quality and quantity of prenatal cares in rural area. Therefore, it is necessary that health workers pay more attention to the pregnant women's education and control of complications.

Abstract
Introduction:In regard to the importance of nursing students' attitudes toward EBP and using it in their professional future as well as the emphasis on educational planning for students, this study aimed to evaluate the attitude of senior nursing students toward evidence-based practice.
Method:The present study was a descriptive- analytical cross-sectional study conducted in Kerman School of Nursing and Midwifery in 2014. Data were collected through the Persian version of a standard questionnaire of knowledge, attitude and practice of undergraduate nursing students about evidence-based practice. Sampling was conducted through the census method and 43 senior nursing students participated in the study. Data analysis was done through SPSS20 software.
Results:According to the obtained scores, students showed a moderate attitude (2.80 ±1.11) toward evidence-based practice. The highest mean score was related to the item saying that EBP should be a part of the nursing curriculum (3.10±1.13). Students' attitudes toward EBP had significant relationship with the rate of course satisfaction, participation in research activities such as diagnosing issues for research, cooperation in research projects, evaluation of research reports and the method and rate of access to evidences (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Although students' attitude toward evidence-based practice was moderate, but appropriate educational planning and modifying nursing curriculum, are efficient steps for promotion of evidence- based practice.

Abstract
Introduction: Medication errors may occur at every stage of the medicines prescription and distribution processes and as nurses can give more than 150 medicines to patients in one work shift, they are in the first line of medical errors. This study was done to investigate the factors associated with nurses' refusal to error reporting in one of the largest teaching hospitals affiliated to Mashhad University of Medical Sciences.
Method: In this cross – sectional, descriptive analytic study, a medication errors questionnaire containing 66 questions was distributed among 100 nurses in different hospital departments which were selected by stratified and simple random sampling. Descriptive statistics was used to determine the most important occurred errors and the reasons for them and one way ANOVA and independent t-test were used to determine the relationship of the causes of medication errors and refusal to error reporting with nurses' demographic factors. Data were analyzed through SPSS18 software.
Results: According to the obtained findings, 87.6% of nurses were female, 85.9% were married and 47.1% were circulating nurses. “Giving medicines to the patients earlier or later than the prescribed time" was the most occurred error (48.8%). "Fear of getting involved with law enforcement," was the most important cause of refusal to error reporting (3.48±1.53) and "heavy workload" was the main reason of error occurrence (4.18±1.1).
Conclusion: Medication errors, however minor, can cause complications. To reduce medication errors, re-education classes in relation to pharmacological information, encouragement of nurses to report medical errors and positive reaction of head nurses are required.

Abstract
Introduction:Pharmaceutical Products as strategic commodities have direct relationship with public health status. Policy making in this sector strongly depends on determination of different factors that affect medicine production, consumption and imports. According to economic literature, like other commodities, medicine imports are affected by exchange rate and grass national product (GNP). One of the most important factors affecting medicine import is related underground economic activities like medicine smuggling and informal markets.
Method:In this study, through benefiting from fuzzy logic approach and using Matlab 2012 software, the size of underground economy in Iran was estimated. Then, by specifying an import model for pharmaceutical products, the effect of underground economy on medicine import demand in Iran during 1971-2011 was determined using ordinary least squares (OLS) method in Eviews6.
Results:Share of underground economy on grass domestic product (GDP) during this period has been swingy and the effect of underground economy on medicine imports has been negative but non-significant.
Conclusion:Despite the necessity of considering medicine smuggling and informal markets in health sector, this important factor has been neglected in Iran policymaking processes and decision makings for medicine import.

Abstract
Introduction:Atrophic tongue or smooth tongue is resulted from atrophy of the filiform papillae. The tongue often shows a shiny red appearance. This lesion may be seen in many systemic diseases.
Method:This descriptive analytic study was conducted on 200 patients referred to Isfahan health clinics in spring 2015. A questionnaire about demographic characteristics and history of mouth diseases was filled out for each patient and they were clinically examined afterwards. If the atrophic tongue was observed, a sample was taken by swab from the site of the lesion to assess fungal infection. For positive fungal cultures, Candida species were detected using germ tube method. Data were analyzed using χ2 and binomial test and through SPSS15.
Results:Of the studied patients, 174 ones had systemic diseases and 26 patients (13%) had atrophic tongue. Candida was found in 73.1% of the lesions. Germ Tube detected 57.9% Candida Albicans and 42.1% Candida Glabrata. Atrophic tongue showed no significant association with dry mouth, burning sensation of tongue, age and gender.
Conclusion:This study showed a significant prevalence of atrophic tongue in patients with systemic diseases. Therefore, systemic diseases should be controlled and treated. There is high chance of detecting Candida in atrophic tongue with equal chance of detecting Candida Albicans and Candida Glabrata in this lesion.
