Thus, we designed the present study based on existing studies to explain the dimensions of spiritual care.</p><p class="Default">Materials and Methods: In this thematic analysis, we gathered the related articles published in Persian and English in the last 8 years (2013– 2021) with the help of the keywords of Care, Support, Spirituality, Religion, Treatment, Hospice, and Palliative, and searching in electronic databases, including PubMed, Scopus, Web Of Sciences, Magiran, Islamic Science Citation (ISC), and Scientific Information Database (SID). We accurately studied 79 articles that met the inclusion criteria, and then the spiritual care components were extracted and coded, and finally, the codes were categorized as themes and sub‑theme.</p><p class="Default">Results: Thematic analysis of available studies revealed that the dimensions (theme) of spiritual care include: spiritual and religious assessment, developing a structure for providing spiritual care, establishing effective and supportive communication with the patient, training the patient, answering his questions, encouraging, maintaining, and improving social communications, encouraging the patient to live happily, helping the patient to achieve peace and calmness, supporting for spiritual rituals and activities, supporting and training the patient’s family, and supporting the dying patient.</p><p class="Default">Conclusions: Spiritual care includes various and numerous dimensions. Considering the widespread dimensions of spiritual care, it seems necessary to design and plan appropriate studies to reveal other spiritual care dimensions from the perspective of patients and care providers in different cultures.</p><p class="Default"> </p>http://ijnmr.mui.ac.ir/index.php/ijnmr/article/view/1929http://ijnmr.mui.ac.ir/index.php/ijnmr/article/download/1929/70707501Iranian Journal of Nursing and Midwifery Research1735-906627520220901Self evaluation of Conflict Management Skills: A Cross Sectional Study Among Vietnamese Nurses in 2021461465ENCollege of Health Sciences, VinUniversityFaculty of Nursing, Thai Nguyen University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Vietnam2022091820220918<p class="Default"><strong>Background: </strong>Effective conflict management requires various skills. However, evidence suggests that nurses are unprepared to deal with conflicts at work. Accordingly, this study aimed to examine nurses’ evaluations of their conflict management skills.</p><p class="Default"><strong>Materials and Methods: </strong>This cross‑sectional descriptive study involved 202 nurses who were enrolled in short professional training courses at the Faculty of Nursing, Thai Nguyen University of Medicine and Pharmacy (TUMP). From March to June 2021, they completed self‑administered questionnaires which included evaluations of ten common conflict management skills. The four‑point rating scale ranged from very bad (0 points) to very good (3 points). Descriptive statistics, Mann–Whitney U, Kruskal–Wallis, and Spearman’s rho tests were used for data analysis.</p><p class="Default"><strong>Results: </strong>The nurses ranked their ability to identify their and others’ emotions and feelings as the highest [mean (SD): 1.99 (0.42)]. Their ability to self‑manage conflict‑induced stress was rated as the lowest [1.86 (0.56)], with managing own feelings and emotions [1.88 (0.56)], and negotiation [1.90 (0.53)] rated as second and third lowest, respectively. There were no differences in skills between nurses based on gender (Mann–Whitney U = 2814.50, <em>p = </em>0.720), department (Kruskal–Wallis = 5.89, df = 3, <em>p </em>= 0.117), job position (Mann–Whitney U = 1502.50, <em>p </em>= 0.522), and education (Mann–Whitney U = 3304.00, <em>p </em>= 0.394). Additionally, nurses who demonstrated better skills reported higher effectiveness in previous conflict management (<em>r </em>= 0.45, <em>p </em>< 0.001).</p><p class="Default"><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Conflict management skills varied and seemed suboptimal. Important areas that require proper attention include emotional intelligence and negotiations.</p><p class="Default"><strong><br /></strong><em></em></p>http://ijnmr.mui.ac.ir/index.php/ijnmr/article/view/1930http://ijnmr.mui.ac.ir/index.php/ijnmr/article/download/1930/70707502Iranian Journal of Nursing and Midwifery Research1735-906627520220914The Neonatal Mortality and Hospitalization Rate among High Risk Neonates who Underwent Home Care Services466471ENCommunity Medicine Department, Medical Faculty, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, IranCommunity Medicine Department, Medical Faculty, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, IranFamily and Population Health Group, Health Center of Isfahan Province, Iran2022091820220918<p class="Default"><strong>Background: </strong>Low birth weight neonates often require intensive care. However, in the absence of resources, Home Care (HC) could replace theoretically the essential health care. HC was presented for high‑risk neonates who were born in 2016 in Isfahan city as a national pilot study. The aims of this study were to evaluate the Neonatal Mortality Rate (NMR) and hospitalization rates in the HRNs who received HC during the neonatal period.</p><p class="Default"><strong>Materials and Methods: </strong>In a cohort study without a control group that was performed during 2016–2017, 130 HRNs who received HC in the neonatal period in Isfahan city were evaluated during 1 year. Data about the neonates’ gender, age, birth weight, gestational age, congenital anomalies, cause of death (in terms of prematurity and related problems), and age at death were gathered and analyzed using the Chi‑square test, independent t‑test, Mann–Whitney U test, and multiple linear regression tests.</p><p class="Default"><strong>Results: </strong>Out of the 129 HRNs who had received HC and completed a 1‑year follow‑up period, one neonatal death occurred due to multiple anomalies. In this way, the NMR was estimated as 7.75 per 1000 live neonates. In addition, 86 cases (66.66%) were hospitalized for one time in the neonatal period, 10 (6.14%) cases for the second time, and one HRN for the third time for 10 days.</p><p class="Default"><strong>Conclusion: </strong>About one‑third of the HRNs who had previously received HC in the neonatal period did not require inpatient care. In addition, the neonatal and infant mortality rates were low.</p><p class="Default"><strong><br /></strong><em></em></p>http://ijnmr.mui.ac.ir/index.php/ijnmr/article/view/1931http://ijnmr.mui.ac.ir/index.php/ijnmr/article/download/1931/70707503Iranian Journal of Nursing and Midwifery Research1735-906627520220901Keeping Women Informed Following Pregnancy Termination for Fetal Abnormality19321932ENPAPRSB, Institute of Health Sceinces, Universiti Brunei Darussalam, Brunei Darussalam2022091820220918<p class="Default">I read the article “ Termination of pregnancy for fetal anomalies: A qualitative study of the informational and educational needs of women” by Kamranpour <em>et al</em>.[1] with great interest but also with dismay, particularly about the weight given to these women’s informational needs.
