Mobile phone addiction is a non-drug and behavioral addiction that is sometimes used excessively and unknowingly. In the present century, its use has been mentioned as an obsessive-compulsive disorder. Among the important users of this technology are nursing students.

This descriptive-analytical study was performed on 100 nursing students. The instruments of this study included demographic characteristics questionnaire and mobile phone addiction questionnaire. The questionnaires were given to the research units virtually and they were returned to the researcher after completing them.

The mean and standard deviation of age of units in this study were 22.405 and 3.308. The mean and standard deviation of the cell phone addiction score among students was 36.9, 13.14, which indicates the high dependence of the units. No statistically significant relationship was found between any of the demographic characteristics and mobile phone addiction (p value > 0.05).

Considering the high prevalence of cell phone dependence and addiction among nursing students and the negative and harmful effects of this, it is still appropriate to take appropriate measures in this regard. These measures include encouraging students to do more activities such as holding sports courses and scientific conferences, as well as explaining and informing students about the negative effects of mobile phone addiction.

In recent years, particular attention has been paid to the use of natural preservatives in foods instead of chemical ones.

The data showed that, 26% of the Emergency operational staff had low general health, and the majority 50.5% of them patients had moderate and 23.5% of subjects had good mental health .Statistical analysis showed that the social dysfunction had an impact on reducing mental health with highest (18%) and depression with lowest effect (5%) .The relationship between social dysfunction and type of employment was significant (p value = 0.025). Tukey Test showed that a significant difference between the official and contract employees (p value = 0.023) as well as a significant difference between the contract employees(p value = 0.016).

Occupational stressor can have adverse effects on the clinical performance of pre-hospital staff and their mental health. Accurate knowledge of workplace stressors and occupational stressors to protect the health professional which can help this group of worker.

Occupational stress and high work-related burnout have been observed among operating room personnel, so finding any therapeutic aids to alleviate this stress and relieve them is always valuable. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of occupational empowerment model on job stress and burnout in operating room nurses.

Thisquasi-experimental study was performed on all operating room personnel working in the operating rooms of Zahedan University of Medical Sciences hospitals, which numbered more than 250. Thirty 30 operating room personnel were selected and randomly divided into intervention and control groups. The number of research units was 15 persons in each group. Questionnaires used in this study were Nursing Job Stress Questionnaire (NSS) and Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). Intervention was performed in 4 sessions, two days a week for 2 weeks and completed again after 4 weeks. The control group received no intervention. Descriptive statistics used mean and standard deviation, and inferential statistics, One-way ANOVA, Fisher, Chi-square and t-test were used.

In the experimental group, the mean occupational stress of the subjects before the intervention was 7966 ± 8.33 Post-intervention was 72.93 ± 8.72. In the control group, the mean of job stress was 84.46 ± 7.32 before and 84.46 ± 7.32 respectively. There was a significant difference between the two groups after the intervention in terms of occupational stress (p value < 0.001) .In the experimental group, mean burnout was 59.26 ± 22.02 before and 56.8 ± 20.79 after the intervention. In the control group, the mean of burnout was 50.66 ± 17.20 before intervention and 51.00 ± 7.43 after intervention. There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of burnout after intervention (p value < 0.05)

The findings of this study showed that occupational empowerment model reduced stress in operating room staff. The pattern of occupational empowerment was not effective in reducing depression in operating room staff. Operating room staff experience high levels of job stress and burnout, which can cause problems at work time and in the workplace. Holding professional empowerment workshops can help reduce their job stress

The outbreak of Covid-19 has seriously challenged the world's health systems, which brought about a growing dissemination of a multitude anesthesia guidelines. Considering the collaboration of international collogues with the purpose of saving patients’ lives and health care workers, the primary purpose of this study is to describe and evaluate the national guidelines released for the management of anesthesia in patients with Covid 19.

The required data were collected through systematic review approach by consulting the national guidelines published in the datasets such as Pub-med, Cochrane Library, Embase, Science Direct, and Up-to-date. This inclusive searching approach was supplemented with the World Federation of Anesthesiologists Information Resources website.

We reviewed the guidelines disseminated by Australia, Canada, China, India, Italy, South Africa, South Korea, Taiwan, Iran, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The results revealed that all the above guidelines were often used to limit the spread of infection and to maintain the health of health care providers. Considering the scope and mission of the guidelines, the results also showed that the most comprehensive ones were disseminated by Chinese researchers. The most transparent reporting of sources of information was released by South Africa and the United Kingdom scholars.

Evidence-based implications, the national guidelines need to be updated to increase their accuracy, clarity, and enforceability.

Patients undergoing bone marrow transplantation (BMT) are high-risk during the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak. Viral infections are a common complication in transplanted patients. Since BMT is a definitive line treatment for many hematological malignancies, the BMT unit should provide therapy services during the COVID-19 outbreak. According to studies over the past two years, following the COVID-19 prevention guidelines recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) and European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) has made it possible to carry out this high-risk treatment. This review article presents the experiences and challenges of BMT centers during the outbreak of COVID-19.

The present study is a review article based on searching in medical-scientific databases, including PubMed, Scopus, MEDLINE, and Google Scholar, from 2020 to 2021. All articles were evaluated, and 30 articles were selected as the primary sources of study.

Regarding the stability and new strains emergence of coronavirus over the last two years, as well as the importance of BMT as the last-line treatment in some hematological malignancies, COVID-19 prevention is the first pivotal step for immunity of BMT donor and recipient. Training medical service personnel and patients will effectively prevent virus contagiousness and spread. Moreover, regular screening of medical staff can inhibit viral transmission to admitted patients. Stick to home quarantine in patients pre-and post-BMT restricts the risk of COVID-19 contamination.
