Farideh Yaghmaee, Pegah Yaghmaee Pages 31-36

Developing an Iranian scale for determining attitudes toward computer Yaghmaie F (Ph.D), Yaghmaie P (MIB).

Introduction

The use of computers has been increased in recent years. Many factors involve and the attitude toward computer is one of them. The purpose of this study was to develop an Iranian scale for determining attitude toward computer and to test its content and face validities.

Methods

The scale was developed in 4 phases. Phase 1: reviewing literature to define “computer attitude” Phase 2: constructing item following a thorough literature review and interviewing with 20 computer experts and users Phase 3: testing content validity of the scale and selecting 20 computer experts to rate items based on ‘relevance,’ ‘clarity,’ and ‘simplicity’ by a four-point scale Phase 4: determining face validity of the scale.

Results

From phase 1 and 2, definition of “computer attitude” was determined and 60 items ranked by a 5-point Likert scale were developed. In phase 3 and 4, the researcher analyzed the results of the content validity of the scale. The items with %75 content validity index or more based on experts’ opinions were kept and the rest were omitted (26 items). At the end, 34 items were selected. The scale was then tested for face validity by a panel of 20 computer experts and users (lecturers and students).

Conclusion

The results of the study showed that the Iranian Computer Attitude Scale (ICAS) with 34 items is valid. With respect to the importance of computer attitude determination and its close connection to computer usage, determining attitudes toward computer in organizations is suggested. Furthermore, measuring psychometric properties of the scale is suggested for future studies.

Farhad Ramazani Badr, Alireza Nikbakht, Ali Mohammadpour Pages 37-42

Low-back pain prevalence and its risk factors in nurses Ramezani Badr F (PhD.s), Nikbakht Nasrabadi A (Ph.D), Mohammad Pour A (PhD.s).

Introduction

Studies show that low-back pain is one of the most common occupational hazards in nurses. There are multiple physical and psychological risk factors in the work environment for its occurrence and recurrence. Lack of understanding and controlling these factors can lead to disability of professionals, heavy medical costs and absenteeism. This cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the prevalence of low-back pain and its risk factors in nurses at teaching hospitals in Zanjan in 2003.

Methods

All 296 nurses at different educational levels participated in the study. A questionnaire completed by interview was used for data collection. It consisted of questions regarding demographics, features of the pain and its possible risk factors. Different statistical tests were used for data analysis.

Results

Findings showed that the prevalence of low-back pain was %52.7 and the mean of sick leaves was 10.3 days (SD=16.8) over a year before the study. Such risk factors as age, experience, marital status, type of ward/s, duration of housework, frequency of lifting things more than 3 kg, frequency of changing position, frequency of moving patients from bed to stretcher and vice versa, familial history of low-back pain and history of musculoskeletal disorders were effective in the prevalence (p<0.05).

Conclusion

The prevalence of low-back pain in nurses is significant compared with similar studies in Tehran (%65) and Rasht (%25.7). With respect to multiple risk factors with possible individual and biomechanical effects on the incidence of low-back pain in the subjects, further studies regarding the knowledge of managers and staff regarding preventive principles of low-back pain and identification of effective guidelines in this respect are highly recommended. Key words: Low-back pain, Risk factors, Nurses.

Introduction

Pneumonia is the most common fatal disease in infancy. Each year, more than 2 million children under 5 years of age die from it and %70-75 of these deaths occurs in infants

Methods

This descriptive analytical study was carried out to assess physical, economic and familial conditions of infants with pneumonia at Children Medical Center in Tehran. 66 infants between 1-12 months and their mothers were selected by convenience sampling method.

Conclusion

According to the above clinical signs, it seems that rapid diagnosis and intervention as well as providing necessary information to families regarding the signs of pneumonia are crucial in the survival of infants. Key words: Conditions, Infant, Pneumonia.
