Abstract
Introduction : Optimal collaboration between members of the patient management team; especially physicians and nurses; can effectively prevent stress by creating an appropriate moral atmosphere that leads to the improvement of the quality of care.This study aimed to determine the attitude of nurses and physicians toward physician-nurse collaboration working in the neonatal intensive care units of the teaching hospitals in Tehran, the capital of Iran.
Methods: In this descriptive and analytical study, carried out in the neonatal intensive care units of the teaching hospitals in Tehran in 2018-2019, 234 physicians and nurses, selected by the available sampling method, participated in the study. Data were analyzed by SPSS V21 software with T-test, Pearson, and Anova.
Results: The mean attitude score of nurses was 24.15 with a frequency percentage (40.25%) compared to physicians' 25.70 with a frequency percentage (42.80%) (P<0.05). The highest average score in the questionnaire was related to teamwork and information sharing among physicians and nurses, 6.75 and 8.73 respectively. A significant relationship was found between nurses' attitudes toward work experience, working hours, and liability insurance (P<0.05).
Conclusion: The attitude of the nurses and physicians about physician-nurse collaboration in this study was revealed to be unsatisfactory. One of the important reasons for the negative score of the attitude of nurses and physicians towards collaboration may be the point that sufficient importance is not given to the role of nurses in patient management. It is therefore recommended to identify factors affecting the improvement of collaboration, as well as maintaining enough weight to the role of nurses in patient management by further studies.

Abstract
Introduction: Autism is one of the most extensive and active areas of research, and recognizing and understanding the diverse characteristics of these children is crucial to providing effective support and creating an inclusive environment for them. The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of animal-assisted intervention on emotional awareness, mental imagery, and vitality of children with autism spectrum disorder.
Methods: The research design was a single-subject quasi-experimental design with multiple baselines with different subjects and continuous assessment with a 2-month follow-up. The statistical population of this study consisted of all children with autism referred to Tabesam Elementary School in Mashhad between October and March 2024. Among these individuals, three were selected through purposive sampling and were diagnosed with autism based on clinical interview and DSM-5 diagnostic criteria, and met the inclusion criteria for the study. Participants, in collaboration with their instructor, completed the Williams and Camroen Emotional Awareness Questionnaire (2017) and the mental imagery and vitality subscales of the Riffe & et al Autism Spectrum Disorder Questionnaire (2008). The therapeutic intervention was implemented based on the Wijker protocol (2022) in 10 weekly individual sessions with a duration of one hour per week. Visual charting methods, the Resilient Change Index (RCI), and the percentage of improvement formula were used to analyze the data.
Result: The results of the study regarding the variables of emotional awareness, mental imagery, and vitality in children with autism indicated an increase in the changes in the mean scores and the percentage of improvement of the participants as a result of the animal-assisted intervention (P<0.01).
Conclusions: Therefore, animal-assisted intervention can lead to an increase in emotional awareness, mental imagery, and vitality of children with autism spectrum disorders.
