Over the last decade, interest in the physiological role of bioactive compounds in plants has increased dramatically of particular interest in relation to human health are the class of compounds known as the phytoestrogens, which embody several groups of nonsteroidal estrogens that are widely distributed within the plant kingdom, including Isoflavones and lignans. Epidemiological studies suggest that diets rich in phytoestrogens, particularly soy and unrefined grain products, may be associated with low risk of breast cancer. This review presents the studies published so far exploring a link between dietary phytoestrogens and breast cancer risk. The purpose of this study is to summarize published research that has investigated the relationship between soy phytoestrogens on epidemiology and reduction of breast cancer.

Method and Methods:

A Medline search was conducted using the key words Breast cancer, Isoflavones and Soy. Since 2007 to 2019 and 24 articles have been thoroughly analyzed.

Studies have shown that consumption of soy Isoflavones may be associated with a reduction in breast cancer. The average intake in eastern countries is higher than in western countries and therefore its preventive effects in western countries are only characterized by high doses.

Discussion and conclusion:

Soy consumption may be associated with a reduced risk of breast cancer, relapse and mortality. Soy has no estrogenic effects on humans. Consuming soy in accordance with the traditional Japanese diet appears safe for breast cancer survivors. Women, who start eating soy products in adults, as is often the case in the western world, lack the protective effects observed in Asian women.

Coronary angiography -as the most diagnostic intervention in patients with coronary artery disease- is associated with high levels of anxiety in the patient. This study aimed to review the studies related to anxiety reduction nursing interventions in patients undergoing angiography

Discussion and Conclusion:

According to the results of the present study, the use of nursing-based interventions reduces anxiety in patients undergoing coronary angiography. Therefore, according to the patient’s condition and preference, the above methods can be used to reduce the patient’s anxiety.

Crisis management is a systematic approach to prevent disaster, reduce harm, provide preparedness and response, and enforce recovery against disasters, while empowering organizations against such calamities.

Workplace stress is a problem in nursing. Nurses experience a wide range of stresses due to specific work environment conditions, which can affect all aspects of their lives. Chronic nurses’ job stress can eventually lead to burnout. Given the importance of this issue, in this study, we will examine the relationship between occupational stress and job burnout.

To find out more about occupational stress and occupational stress, searches were carried out at the end of 2018 at

The results of literature review showed that workplace stressors have a significant role in exacerbating nurses’ job burnout.

Stress-free environment in the nursing profession is unavoidable. Nurses’ constant exposure to these stresses in the workplace increases the work pressure on nurses and leads to long-term physical and mental fatigue, job loss, and burnout.

This interventional study was performed on 60 nurses working in psychiatry center of Iran with available sampling in two independent groups as pre-test and post-test with control group. After the pre-test, participants were randomly divided into control and intervention groups through demographic questionnaire and Maslesh burnout questionnaire. In 10sessions, they were trained once a week according to Conner and Davidson resiliency training protocol. Then data were collected by posttest. Frequency tables were used to analyze the descriptive data and independent t-test was used to analyze the quantitative data.

In this study, there was no significant difference in burnout between groups before the intervention. No significant difference was observed after the intervention, which showed that this intervention had no effect on the level of burnout (P <0.05).

depend on these results and despite previous studies, resiliency skills training may not have a significant effect on reducing burnout among nurses, but these trainings can be a strategy for health policy makers and planners
