Background:Needle sticking is one of the problems faced by the staff of health centers, especially nurses. Due to the importance of this issue, the aim of this study was to investigate the frequency and causes of needle head injury among nurses.
Materials and Methods:This study was a cross-sectional-analytical study and the study population consisted of all nurses working in teaching hospitals in Khorramabad in 1399 of this study.The data collection tool of the questionnaire is two main parts. The first part is about demographic characteristics and the second part includes specialized questions about Needle Stick. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 15 and logistic regression test.
Results: In this study, 380 nurses were randomly selected from all educational hospitals in Khorramabad.out of 380 samples,204 nurses(53.7%) were needled and 176(46.3%) were not needled, 301 (79.2%) were female and 79 (20.8%) were male. They were. Of these,194 (52%) were between 20-30 years old, 142 (38.1%) were between 30-40 years old and 37 (9.9%) were over 40 years old. Statistically, the results showed that there is a significant correlation between shift work and needle sticking (P=0.003), statistically the results showed that there is a significant correlation between work experience and needle sticking (P = 0.027),in terms of The results showed that there was a significant correlation between the workplace and needle sticking (P=0.015). the results showed that there was no significant correlation between gender, age, hospital, education and needle sticking.
Conclusion: Considering that in our country, for various reasons, the use of new injection tools and methods is not common; Therefore,efforts to Changing nurses' job behavior should be done with more emphasis.

Abstract
Introduction: Shift work is one of the harmful factors of work, especially for the staff of health centers. Due to the necessity of the shift system in the operating room staff, this study was conducted in order to investigate the problems caused by shift work in the operating room experts of Khorramabad University of Medical Sciences teaching hospitals in 2020.
Materials and Methods: The present study was a cross-sectional-analytical study that was performed on operating room experts working in Khorramabad teaching hospitals in 2020. Out of 115 operating room experts working in the mentioned hospitals, 105 of them who met the inclusion criteria were selected by census. The data collection tool in this study was the Survey of shift work (SOS) questionnaire. All statistical tests were performed using SPSS 22 software at a significant level of P <0.05.
Results: The mean age of the subjects was 30.21 5± 5.67 years, of which 82.9% were female and 17.1% were male. Findings showed that there is no significant relationship between gender and different problems caused by shift work. In this study, most of the problems related to shift work were gastrointestinal problems with 78.1%. The results showed that there was a statistically significant relationship between shift age and the incidence of cardiovascular problems (P <0.05). This study also showed that there is a statistically significant difference between shift work and family and social problems P-value <0.05
Conclusion:The results of this study showed that shift work has the potential to cause physical complications such as gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, mental and circadian rhythm disorders. Therefore, measures should be considered such as selecting people voluntarily in the work shift system and having regular rotation programs to prevent the occurrence of these complications in shift workers.

Abstract
Background: Postpartum depression is the most common psychological complication after childbirth. The mother-infant relationship and its challenges are one of the most critical risk factors of postpartum depression. Given the importance of attachment theory in explaining the mother-infant relationship, the present study aimed to identify the components related to mother-infant relationship in order to prevent postpartum depression.
Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in two stages. In the first stage, based on the qualitative method and inductive content analysis approach, individual interviews were conducted with four groups of pregnant mothers (n=6), mothers with infants (n=5), pediatricians (n=3), and psychologists (n=3). The data were coded and extracted. During the second stage, the relevant literature in the field of attachment was reviewed using desk research, whereby the components were extracted. Finally, based on the findings of these two stages, themes related to the mother-infant relationship were identified.
Results: The most important overlapping themes obtained from the two stages of the study included attachment to the fetus, anxiety during pregnancy and postpartum, child care, reception of support, and the impact of the relationship with parents which were identified as the main themes related with the mother-infant relationship.
Conclusion: Considering the importance of mother-infant relationship as a postpartum depression risk factor, the present study strived to identify the main components of this relationship from the perspective of research literature, along with a qualitative study, to identify the real needs of mothers to be used as a basis for subsequent interventions.

Abstract
Background: Physical activity with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects can play a critical role in the health of individuals. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess the impact of resistance training and curcumin consumption on inflammatory indicators and oxidative stress in obese men.
Materials and Methods: The present study was conducted based on a quasi-experimental design. The studied population consists of obese men aged 38-43 years. The sample size was estimated to be 40 individuals, who were randomly assigned to four groups of 10 using a random number table. The training program lasted for eight weeks, with three sessions per week. An 80 mg curcumin supplement was administered. Blood samples were collected before and after the final session. Data analysis involved one-way analysis of variance, paired t-test, and Tukey's post hoc test at a significance level of 0.05.
Results: The amount of catalase enzyme in resistance training groups (P=0.012), curcumin supplement (P=0.032), and resistance training group with curcumin consumption (P<0.001) were associated with a significant increase. Nonetheless, it was not significant in the control group (P=0.991). Furthermore, the levels of malondialdehyde, interleukin-6, C-reactive protein, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha in the experimental groups displayed a significant decrease (P<0.05), whereas these changes were not significant in the control group (P<0.05).
Conclusion: As evidenced by the obtained results, it can be stated that the consumption of curcumin may be effective in suppressing the inflammation caused by obesity. This is due to its potent antioxidant effects and its combination with resistance training.
