Abstract

  Background and Objective: The Fatigue related to cancer is one of the common problems of both patients and care-givers. Nowadays, acupressure as a complementary medicine has become more common in patients with cancer for balancing and improving body energy. This study aimed to assess the effect of acupressure on the fatigue of patients with cancer.

  Material and Methods: This blinded- randomized clinical trial was conducted on 85 patients with cancer in hematology ward of Beheshti hospital of Hamadan. The subjects were located in three groups of intervention, sham and control. First, the fatigue level was measured by Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI) as a baseline. Then, real acupressure in intervention group and unreal acupressure in sham group was performed for 10 days and only routine cares were given in control group. The fatigue amount was measured on the fifth and tenth days. The Data was analyzed by SPSS software version 16, using paired T- test and repeated measurements.

  

  Results: Acupressure was effective on the fatigue of patients with cancer (p<0.001). However, conducting unreal acupressure in sham group was effective as well (p<0.01), but the routine cares in control group was not effective and even in some cases led to increased fatigue.

  

  Conclusion: Acupressure can be used as a complementary therapy to decrease the fatigue in the patients with cancer considering its low cost, safety and simplicity.

Abstract
Background and Objective: Subjective well-being, a field of positive psychology, attempts to assess the cognitive and emotional lives. Given the fact that nursing and midwifery students are exposed to stress in clinical settings, we aimed to assess subjective well-being to promote educational programs. 
Material and Methods: This across-sectional study was conducted on 104 nursing and Midwifery students selected via simple random sampling, 2013. The instruments, filled out by students, were a demographic checklist and Kyeez subjective well-being questionnaire consisting of three domains of emotional, social and psychological. We used mean and standard deviation for data description and T-test and ANOVA for analysis. 
Results: The mean score of subjective well-being was 203.20 in nursing and 210.21 in midwifery students. In nursing students, the Mean score in emotional, psychological and social domain was 44.05, 93.40 and 65.74, respectively, and it was 45.72, 94.78 and 69.55, respectively in midwifery students. Gender was the only variable associated significantly with subjective well-being of nursing students (P>0.05). 
Conclusion: Given the high score of subjective well-being and that of its domains, we recommend applying some educational programs with the consideration of emotional, psychological and social aspect of students.
