The aim of this study was to evaluate cardiovascular diseases risk factors and the relationship between knowledge level and preventive behaviors for cardiovascular diseases among women in Kerman.
Methods: This descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study was performed on 400 women in Kerman. Participants were selected using multistage cluster sampling method. Data were collected using demographic questionnaire and a questionnaire about cardiovascular disease risk factors, knowledge, nutritional behavior, and physical activity. Data were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation, Spearman, one-way ANOVA, Kruskal wallis test and Mann-Whitney U test by SPSS 21.
Results: The average age of women was 42.11±1.40 years. Daily stress (71.75%) and inadequate physical activity (62.75%) were the most common risk factors among the participants. There was a significant positive relationship between knowledge and nutritional behavior (P<0.0001) and physical activity (P=0.001). The mean score of knowledge in women who had tested their blood sugar, cholesterol, weight, and blood pressure over the past six months was significantly high.

Employees’ job satisfaction was statistically compared before and after the quality management intervention using SPSS 18.
Results: Employees’ job satisfaction was 51.2 percent. High work pressure, compressed shift schedule, high job stress, lack of organizational justice, reward system, and inappropriate encouragement, and lack of attention to the employees’ needs, especially on the night shift, were the main causes of employees’ dissatisfaction. Employees’ satisfaction after intervention was 59.2 percent. The results showed that quality management improved employees’ satisfaction by 15.6 percent.

Abstract
Introduction: Children with chronic disease make some problems in the family that have negative effect on the family members’ quality of life, especially mother’s. Promoting the sense of coherence and capability of mothers to adapt and manage the problems of children with chronic disease and their family seems necessary.
Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was performed on 300 women (150 mothers with healthy children and 150 mothers of children with chronic disease). Convenience sampling was used for mothers of children with chronic disease, and random sampling for mothers of healthy children. Data were collected using the valid and reliable Antonovsky's sense of coherence scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (the frequency, mean, standard deviation) and analytic statistics (Pearson’s correlation coefficient and Mann-Whitney U test) by SPSS 18.
Results: There was a significant difference in the total score of mothers’ sense of coherence between the groups. There was also a significant difference in the three components of mothers’ sense of coherence (comprehensibility, manageability, and meaningfulness), so that mothers with healthy children had higher scores in all cases (P=0.0001).
Conclusion: It seems that a comprehensive program of empowerment that promotes the mothers’ sense of coherence, can be very effective in reducing the problems of compatibility, management, and care of mothers of children with chronic disease, and subsequently, promotes the Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in family members.
