Abstract
PURPOSE Clarifying the concept of elder self-neglect. METHODS Researchers investigated the concept of elder self-neglect using a hybrid approach, including theoretical, fieldwork, and final analysis phases. After an extensive review of related literature to define the concept of self-neglect and describe its characteristics, the fieldwork phase was carried out to illustrate its empirical features. Accordingly, it led to the extraction of the elder self-neglect attributes from the first two phases. FINDINGS Elder self-neglect includes "subjective and objective high-risk behaviors pertinent to physical and spiritual health as well as restricted social interactions, disregarding the living environment, and a lack of compliance to personal hygiene routines that the elderly demonstrate deliberately or unintentionally. Various factors can contribute to such behaviors, including individual features, poor physical performance, elderly-oriented psychological disorders, financial challenges, detrimental stressors, unsuccessful social interactions, inaccessible supportive resources, inadequate educational resources, and inappropriate cultural norms. Consequently, such behaviors result in impaired physical and psychological health status, higher risk of misbehavior, poor quality of life, extra caregiving-treatment burden, and affected mental security in society." CONCLUSION Given that elder self-neglect is considered a relatively unknown concept in Iran, the study findings can pave the way for future extensive research in the Iranian context by clarifying the concept. It can play a significant role in developing related tools to design more efficient interventions and improve the quality of nursing care services. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE The elder self-neglect concept can lead to numerous health-related disorders among the elderly in society. Nurses cannot deal with an unknown phenomenon without exploring and identifying its exact meaning. It is, therefore, imperative to illustrate the different dimensions of this concept to help create a deep understanding among the nurses and perform timely diagnosis and interventional procedures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ostomy care nurses are responsible for the management of patients with colostomy from the time of diagnosis. Currently, most ostomy care services are provided in outpatient ostomy care centers in order to reduce patients' hospital stay and reduce hospitalization-related costs. Many different factors can affect colostomy nursing care provision in these centers. Identification of these factors can facilitate quality care provision. MATERIALS AND METHODS This descriptive qualitative study was conducted in 2020-2021 to explore the barriers and facilitators to nursing care for patients with permanent colostomy in Tehran and Qom ostomy centers. Participants were twelve nurses with ostomy care licenses, two adult patients with permanent colostomy for at least two years, and one family caregiver of a patient with permanent colostomy purposefully selected from outpatient ostomy care centers in Iran. RESULT Data were collected via fifteen in-depth semi-structured interviews and were analyzed using Graneheim and Lundman's conventional content analysis. The barriers and facilitators to nursing care for patients with permanent colostomy in outpatient centers came into three main categories, namely specialized capabilities of colostomy care, care continuity, and caring status in the family. CONCLUSION These findings imply that not only nurses, but also patients, family caregivers, and referral systems can influence nursing care provision to permanent colostomy. Effective management of these factors can improve the quality of ostomy nursing care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the importance of rehabilitation nursing care in improving patient outcomes, the provision of this care in the early stages of diseases and injuries is limited. In this situation, analyzing the concept of rehabilitation nursing care can increase nurses' understanding of this concept and improve the provision of rehabilitation nursing care in the acute phase. This study aimed to analyze the concept of rehabilitation nursing care in acute phase of diseases with physical disability. METHOD Walker and Avant's approach to concept analysis was performed in eight stages, including choosing a concept, determining the purpose of analysis, identifying all uses of the concept, defining attributes, identifying a model case, identifying borderline and contrary cases, identifying antecedents and consequences, and defining empirical referents. RESULTS The important characteristics of rehabilitation nursing are comprehensive, education-based, specialized, client and family centered, interprofessional, and need-based. The antecedents of rehabilitation nursing care are related to nurses, the care settings and the nursing profession. The most important consequence of rehabilitation nursing care is improving the quality of life of patients. Rehabilitation nursing care also has positive outcomes for nurses and the healthcare systems. CONCLUSION The findings indicate that rehabilitation nursing care has several attributes that require antecedents such as knowledge and specialized skills such as teamwork skills, effective communication skills, cultural sensitivity, holistic perspective, intuitive thinking, and reasoning. The most important consequence of rehabilitation nursing care is improving the quality of life of patients.

Abstract
In most traffic accidents, bystanders arrive at the scene before the rescuers. If they provide the right help, they can play an important and effective role in reducing the number of deaths and complications caused by these accidents. However, in many cases, fears and concerns prevent bystanders from providing assistance. This study aims to investigate and understand the fears and concerns of bystanders when they decide to help in traffic accidents. In 2022, this study was carried out in Iran using a qualitative content analysis approach. The data was collected through semistructured interviews. Participants were 15 males and females who had experience providing assistance in traffic accidents. Interviews, after digital recording, were transcribed verbatim. A purposeful and theoretical sampling method was performed. Data analysis and the determination of codes, categories, and subcategories were done using qualitative analysis software. O'Brien's qualitative research reporting standard was used. The results of the study include a category of fears and concerns and five subcategories. The subcategories include fear and concern caused by lack of information, fear of legal troubles, stress caused by previous experience, fear and anxiety caused by anticipation, and anxiety of unknown origin. The results of this study showed that some of the fears and concerns of the bystanders were related to a lack of information about providing assistance. By increasing bystanders' information about assistance, such as first aid training, fear and anxiety caused by a lack of information can be reduced. Another part of the fear and concern of bystanders is due to legal issues. Passing and implementing laws that protect bystanders can help reduce this fear and concern. Bystanders should be trained to provide assistance according to the rules of assistance so that they do not get into legal problems. A part of the bystander's fear and concern stems from their previous experiences providing assistance in traffic accidents. These experiences can also affect the fear and anxiety caused by anticipation. It is necessary to conduct more studies on the role of bystanders' experiences in creating fear and anxiety in them, as well as their effect on anticipatory fear.

Abstract
PURPOSE Family caregivers (FCs) play a significant role in providing care to elderly patients with cancer (PWC). Meanwhile, they face a wide range of challenges and are considered hidden patients who require special attention and support. Nonetheless, they do not receive adequate support. This study aimed at exploring the factors influencing support provision to the FCs of elderly PWC. METHOD This descriptive qualitative study was conducted in 2020-2022. Thirty-one FCs and family members of elderly PWC and healthcare providers were purposefully recruited from various healthcare centers in Tehran, Iran. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using Graneheim and Lundman's conventional content analysis approach. Trustworthiness was ensured through Lincoln and Guba's criteria. RESULTS Factors influencing support provision to the FCs of elderly PWC came into three main categories, namely the potential for supporting elderly PWC and FCs, complexity of family and social support, and support-related challenges of the healthcare system. CONCLUSIONS Identifying the factors influencing support provision to the FCs of elderly PWC can assist healthcare policymakers and authorities in developing more effective strategies to support these groups.

Abstract
Background Health care-Associated Infections (HCAIs) are among the most common adverse events (AEs) that can negatively affect both patients and health systems. The elderly is among patients at high risk for infections. Some controllable risk factors have received less attention in research. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the relationship between prevalence of HCAIs among elderly inpatients, job satisfaction of nurses, and working condition. Materials and Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted on 211 nurses working in hospitals affiliated with Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, in 2021. The data were collected from HCAIs reports by the Nosocomial Infection Control Committee, a demographic questionnaire, the Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index (PES-NWI), and the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ). The data were statistically analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient, ANOVA, t-test, and multiple linear regression (MLR) in SPSS 26. Results The results showed that there was a significant relationship between the PES-NWI and MSQ (r = 0.68, p < 0.00). The MLR results indicated that staffing and resource adequacy, nurse participation in hospital affairs, job satisfaction, nursing manager's leadership, and nursing foundations for quality of care are predictive factors that these could explain 78% of the changes in the prevalence of HCAIs and the goodness of fit of the regression model was acceptable [F6.210 = 129.47, p < 0.001]. Conclusions Since job satisfaction and the work condition could predict HCAIs among the elderly patients, healthcare administers are recommended to consider these two variables in the development of HCAIs prevention and control programs.

Abstract
During menopause, women experience major changes, including the onset of aging as a natural and inevitable event. The present study aimed to explore and explain the process of aging perception during menopausal transition. This study was a qualitative grounded theory research, which was going to be implemented in 2019–2020 on 18 Baluch women settled in the Sistan & Baluchestan province in South-East Iran and among midlife or older menopause experienced women. Sampling was started first by Purposive sampling, and then it was performed with theoretic sampling. Data analysis was performed according to Corbin and Straus’s approach (2015) in four phases: (1) identifying and developing concepts; (2) analyzing data for the context; (3) entering the process stage into analysis; and (4) integrating categories to build a theory. In this study, seven main categories were obtained: “Sunset of youth”, “aging as the other side of the coin of menopause”, “Weaving a cocoon”, “aging as a mental trap”, “social acceptance”, “aging domino”, and “feeling of transcendence”. It seems that menopause plays an important role in Baluch women’s view toward aging. The practical results of this study can be applied to better understand the middle-aged and older Baluch women’s attitudes toward aging. Also study shows a new evolutionary and situational perspective on the lives of middle-aged menopausal Baluch women. Baluch women in menopause accept the sunset of youth and look forward to experiencing the Feeling of transcendence. Identify and respond to their needs by developing and establishing health policies to change their negative attitudes.

Abstract
Nurses play a key role in providing rehabilitation care. In this regard, identifying the factors that affect their practice can be useful in planning to improve the quality of rehabilitation nursing care. This study aims to explore the experience of nurses and members of the rehabilitation team about barriers and facilitators of rehabilitation nursing care of patients with disability in the rehabilitation hospital. This qualitative study was conducted in the main public rehabilitation hospital in Tehran, Iran. Eighteen persons including 12 nurses in clinical and managerial positions, an occupational therapist, a physical medicine specialist, a patient, and an informal caregiver participated in this study. Participants were selected based on purposeful sampling. Data were collected through 18 in-depth semi-structured interviews and analyzed based on qualitative content analysis principles. Three themes were derived from the data analysis, which represented Barriers and facilitators related to nurses (specialized knowledge and skills, psychological status, mentoring, professional communication), barriers and facilitators related to the work environment (nurses' performance evaluation, nursing workforce, comprehensive care facilities, workplace design, specialized unit), barriers and facilitators related to patients and caregivers (patient's participation in nursing care, patient adaptation, efficiency of formal caregivers). The experiences of the rehabilitation team shows that not only nurses, but also the environment, patients, and caregivers can affect the provision of care and change the quality of care. Identifying these factors can help managers, researchers, and clinical nurses to facilitate and improve rehabilitation nursing care by modifying the influencing factors.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this analysis is to clarify the concept of clinical reasoning in nursing students. BACKGROUND Sound clinical reasoning is the most important skill required in professional nursing and understanding of this concept is emphasized as a basis for clinical reasoning development in nursing education curricula. DESIGN Rodgers' concept analysis method was used to achieve a clear and understandable definition. DATA SOURCE Resources published from 2000 to 2020 were identified via electronic databases. REVIEW METHODS A review of the literature was completed, and the data were analyzed to identify the Surrogate and related terms, attributes, antecedents and consequences of the concept. RESULTS This concept is a holistic and recursive cognitive process that has a dynamic and flexible nature to perceive the patient's condition, select the best practice to respond to the situation, and learn from the situation. Clinical reasoning in nursing students emerges despite professional standards; discipline-specific knowledge, cognitive perception, critical thinking, learning experiences, and intuitive ability, and the requirements of the professional system affect its establishment in the nursing discipline. Clinical reasoning is the cognitive process underlying clinical judgment, appropriate decision making, improvement of nursing quality, metacognitive awareness, and professional competence in nursing, whose achievement, generally, paves the way for nursing professionalization and development that are important steps toward independence in the nursing profession. CONCLUSIONS The present concept analysis clarifies the concept of clinical reasoning as a complex thinking process that should be considered as a fundamental thinking skill in nursing program.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION: After the psychiatric revolution and implementation of deinstitutionalization policies, caring for people with a mental health condition shifted from psychiatric hospitals to their families. In this way, family caregivers were forced to take full responsibility for taking care of the patients that lead to the occurrence of challenges for them. Only a few studies have investigated the caregiving challenges of family caregivers in patients with schizophrenia. AIM: This study aimed to gain a better understanding of caregiving burden in family caregivers of patients with schizophrenia and its related factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This qualitative study was performed based on 12 family caregivers of schizophrenia patients visiting a psychiatric hospital in Tehran in 2018. Sampling was carried out based on the purposive sampling method and was continued until data saturation. All interviews were recorded, transcript, and imported into the MAXQDA software. Then, qualitative content analysis was conducted based on Graneheim and Lundman's five-step method. RESULTS: One theme, two main categories, and five subcategories were identified from the continuous analysis and data comparison. The “Perceived objective burden” as theme included two main categories: “Heavy involvement of caregivers” and “Challenges of the healthcare system”. CONCLUSION: The results of this study indicate that the family caregivers of the patients with schizophrenia encounter many problems related to multiple responsibilities in the caring process and challenges in the provision of mental health-care services. This finding could improve psychiatric and mental health nurses’ knowledge and awareness about caregiving challenges in family caregiver of patients with schizophrenia and related factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Since the deinstitutionalization policy, in psychiatric hospitals, the care of patients with schizophrenia was left to their families which has been imposing a heavy burden on them. Family caregiver burden could have consequences for caregivers, patients, and the society. There is very little consensus on the definition and dimensions of the caregiver burden, which leads to a lack of consistency in the results of research. Thus, the present study was aimed to redefine the family caregiver burden of patients with schizophrenia. METHODS The databases PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, MEDLINE (Via Ovid), ProQuest, SCI, Magiran, SID, and IranDoc will be searched from 1940 to 2018 using subject headings and appropriate terms in both Farsi and English languages. Also, gray literature and the reference list of included articles will be used to offer an appropriate definition of the family caregiver burden in patients with schizophrenia. Two independent reviewers will participate in study selection, data collection, and quality assessment steps. The result will be presented in tabular form, and meta-synthesis will be performed. DISCUSSION The result of this systematic review will help present the comprehensive definition of the family caregiver burden in patients with schizophrenia according to its evolutionary trend.
