Abstract
Introduction
Adolescents' mutually good relationship with others enhances their empowerment. The aim of this study was to analyze the interaction between adolescents with type 1diabetes and others.
Methods
In this study, the interaction of adolescents with type 1 diabetes was investigated through content analysis. Sixteen adolescents aged 13-18 with type 1 diabetes, and at least a year past their diagnosis participated in the present study. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews. After each interview, data were transcribed and analyzed with the help of members of the research team. Each interview guided the next interview, that is, the interview questions were altered based on the previous interview data. Field note was another instrument for data collection.
Results
Demographic findings of this study indicated that the adolescents' mean age was 16 years, 37.5% were female and 62.5% were male; 37.5% of adolescents resided in Tehran and the rest in other provinces. Six themes emerged from this study: relationship with family, relationship with others, lack of dependence on others, normal behavior with others, sense of power when compared with others and keeping up appearances and 20 subthemes.
conclusion
The present study showed that Iranian adolescents extremely tend to participate in self-care and treatment. People's reactions and rational behaviors as well as their support along with preserving independence lead to adolescents' effective communication.

Abstract
Introduction: Autism Spectrum Disorders are a collection of related disorders that effect children's social growth and ability to communicate. The present study aimed at defining the efficacy of social attention and communication educational program on nurses' skills concerning early identification of infants and toddlers at risk of Autism Spectrum Disorder at Imam Hossein Specialized hospital in Isfahan.
Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study. The study population comprised of all nurses working at Imam Hossein Specialized Hospital, who were selected through convenient sampling (n = 40), and were then randomly assigned to study and control groups (n = 20, n = 20). Nurses' skills were assessed by Social Attention and Communication Study (SACS) checklist (Barbaro, 2011). The educational program was conducted for the study group during three sessions. Finally, the post hoc test was administrated in both study and control groups.
Results: Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) test showed a significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores of nurses' skills in early identification of infants and toddlers at risk of Autism Spectrum Disorder in the study and control groups (P = 0.001). There was also a significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores of nurses' skill in early detection of communication signs in infants and toddlers at risk of Autism Spectrum Disorder in study and control groups (P = 0.001).
Conclusions: The results showed that nurses' training program known as "social interest relationship" could be used to detect risk for autism spectrum disorders and to continue the treatment at 8 months.

Abstract
Introduction: Nurses have a great influence on reducing the stress of parents because of their exceptional situation in intensive care units. The aim of this study was to investigate the communication performance of nurses and satisfaction with hospital care from the viewpoints of mothers of newborns admitted to the neonatal intensive care units of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences in 2015.
Methods: This is a cross sectional descriptive-correlational study. The population consists of 220 mothers of newborns admitted to neonatal intensive care units of three hospitals of Namazi, Hafez and Hazrat Zainab. The data collection tool was a questionnaire consisting of three sections: demographic data of mothers, the questionnaire of communication performance and satisfaction with hospital care.
Results: in this study, the mean age of mothers was 27 years, the average duration of the hospitalization of newborns was ten days and the average gestational age was 36 weeks. In addition, the mean communication performance of the nurses was lower than the mean satisfaction of mothers. Comparing the dimensions of satisfaction, satisfaction with hospital care had lower average than other dimensions. Communication performance had no significant relationship with the satisfaction dimensions and p>0.05 but it had a significant relationship with total satisfaction (p = 0.001)
Conclusion: Concerning the importance of the nurses’ position, communication, educational and caring skills should be further strengthening to enhance the satisfaction of mothers. Also according to the results obtained from this research, it appears that mothers require better relationship with nurses based on the cause of the hospitalization of their children. Along with being sensitive towards the caring needs of the newborns, nurses should have a proper interaction with parents.

Abstract
Introduction : Nurse-mother communication is a challenge in neonatal units, and many moral debates in these units are due to communication problems between mothers and nurses. The present study was performed to determine the status of nurses' and mothers' perceptions of nurse-mother communication in the neonatal units of selected hospitals in Bushehr province in 2021.
Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in six hospitals in Bushehr province. Nurses and mothers who met the inclusion criteria were included in this study using the two-month census method. Data collection tools included the mothers’ and nurses’ demographic information forms and questionnaires on their perception of nurse-mother communication. The validity and reliability of questionnaires have been confirmed in previous studies. Data collected from 104 nurses and 236 mothers were analyzed using SPSS version 24.
Result: The mean score of mothers' perception of nurse-mother communication was 59.27±12.82 and the mean score of nurses' perception of nurse-mother communication was 73.37±9.57. In addition, a statistically significant relationship was found between the mean score of mothers' perception of nurse-mother communication and the admitted unit and the gestational age of the baby. There was also a statistically significant relationship between nurses' perception of nurse-mother communication and their employment status.
Conclusion: Mothers' perception of nurse-mother communication was at a moderate level, while nurses' perception was at a high level. Considering the existing difference between their perceptions, planning is needed to enhance the role of nurses and strengthen their communication skills consistent with the family-centered care approach. It is therefore suggested that nursing authorities provide a platform to educate nurses and make them more familiar with mothers' needs.

Abstract
Introduction: With the birth of a premature newborn, mothers experience new relationships, especially with nurses. The stress caused by the hospitalization of a premature newborn can negatively affect the health of the mother and then the health of the newborn. Therefore, a recent study was conducted to assess the relationship between spiritual health and perception of the communication with the nurse, in mothers with premature newborns admitted to the neonatal intensive care units of hospitals in Bushehr province in 2022.
Methods: The current research is a cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study. The statistical population of this study was 218 mothers of premature newborns admitted to the neonatal intensive care units. Data gathering was done by convenience sampling and by using a demographic form of mother and newborn, spiritual health questionnaire (Palutzian & Ellison) with two dimensions, religious health and existential health and perception of communication with a nurse (Reid et al) questionnaire.
Result: 54% of mothers had average spiritual health and 46% of them had high spiritual health. The mean and standard deviation of perception of communication with the nurse was 62.41±10.42. The result of linear regression showed that the mother's existential health can be a positive predictor for the perception of communication with the nurses
(=β0.437 ؛ P>0.001). Also, no significant relationship was between the mother's religious health and perception of communication with the nurse (=β0.085 ؛ P=0.001).
Conclusions: Since existential health as a part of spiritual health can be a positive predictor perception of the communication with the nurse, it is suggested that the hospitals have programs for the parents of premature newborns, specifically the mothers, to improve their spiritual health, especially the existential health. By increasing optimal interactions with the nurse, it will reduce stress and increase participation in the care of the newborn.
