Abstract
Background and objective : Low blood pressure and Muscle cramps are common complications of Hemodialysis. One approach that has recently been proposed to prevent this complication is the combination of sodium and ultrafiltration. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of of sodium and ultrafiltration profile on some of the common complications during Hemodialysis.
Material and Methods: In this crossover clinical trial study, 22 Hemodialysis patients referred to Panje-Azar Hospital in 2012 were divided randomly into two groups. For each group, two treatment protocols were conducted, six hemodialysis sessions. The intervention protocol was a linear sodium dialysate and linear ultrafiltration. In routine Protocol, both sodium dialysate and ultrafiltration were considered constant. Using chi-square test and relative risk, the data was analyzed (P<0.05).
Results: The mean age is 54.73 ± 11.21 year and 59.1% of them are females. The incidence of hypotension and muscle cramps in the experimental protocol procedure is significantly decreased compared with that of control group (P<0.05), but the incidence of headache and vomiting is not significant (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Because sodium and ultrafiltration profile is simple and cost-free and reduces the incidence of complications during dialysis, we recommend using sodium and UF profile instead of routine one.

Abstract
Background and Objective: anemia is one of the main problems of chronic renal failure patients undergone Hemodialysis and erythropoietin is not effective for these patients. Since Vitamin C deficiency in Hemodialysis patients is common, this study was performed to compare the effect of intravenous and oral ascorbic acid consumption on anemia in Hemodialysis patients.
Material and Methods: this clinical trial was conducted on 75 patients, selected via convenience sampling and including criteria (hemoglobin, 11mg/dl ferritin, 100ug/L transferring saturation, < 20%). The subjects were randomly assigned to three equal groups of control , oral ascorbic acid (POAA) and intravenous ascorbic acid (IVAA) After each every-other-day dialysis performed for eight weeks, the patients of IVAA group were given 300mg intravenous vitamin C and the ones of POAA group given 500mg vitamin C orally. The Plasma iron with chemical method, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) and ferritin level with indirect method, hemoglobin with cell counter and transferring saturation (TSAT) with related formula were measured. Using a checklist, the data of demographic, laboratory results and side effects were recorded and analyzed by SPSS-13, using ANOVA and scheffe post-hoc test (p≤ 0.05).
Results: the baseline hemoglobin, serum iron, ferritin, TIBC and TSAT in three groups were not different significantly. After intervention, the hemoglobin level of IVAA group( 20.1g/dl ) and in POAA group (0.99g/dl) were increased compared to control group(P>0.001). the mean of hemoglobin in IVAA was significantly more than POAA (P>0.05).
Conclusion: based on the results, the use of oral and intravenous vitamin C can be effective in the anemia caused by iron deficiency, especially vitamin C injection that is more beneficial.

Abstract
Background and objective: Hypotension and Muscle cramp are the common complications of Hemodialysis. One approach that has recently been proposed to prevent this complication is the change in the concentration of sodium and ultrafiltration. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of sodium dialysate variation and ultrafiltration in preventing hypotension and muscle cramp during hemodialysis process.
Material and Methods: In this clinical trial study, 44 Hemodialysis patients were divided randomly into four groups. For each group, four treatment protocols (six-session Hemodialysis) were conducted. Protocol A: Sodium dialysate and ultrafiltration were constant. Protocol II: sodium was linear and ultrafiltration was constant. Protocol III: Sodium and ultrafiltration were linear. Protocol IV (routine): Sodium and ultrafiltration were constant. Using Chi-Square and relative risk, the data was analyzed (P<0.05).
Results: The incidence of hypotension, at the end of the fourth hour of dialysis in Protocol 3, was significantly decreased compared to that of routine method (P<0.05), while at the end of first, second and third hour, this difference was not significant. Muscle cramp in the routine method was more than other protocols (P=0.034). The relative risk of muscle cramp in the routine method was 2.08 times of protocol I, 1.09 of Protocol II, 2.08 of protocol III.
Conclusion: Sodium and ultrafiltration profile is simple and cost-free, and it reduces the incidence of hypotension and muscle cramp during dialysis. Thus, we recommend using sodium and UF profile instead of routine protocol to reduce these effects.

Abstract
Background and Objective: This study aimed to assess nurses' attitude toward the effect of nursing electronic reports on patient care.
Material and Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 316 nurses in the hospitals affiliated to Semnan University of Medical Sciences and social security organization, 2012. The instrument was a researcher-made questionnaire, valid and reliable. The data was analyzed by Chi Square, Fisher and Phi test.
Results: Forty-seven five point percent of the nurses completely disagreed with the impact of electronic reporting on patient assessment (1.8± 1.06) and 54.4% completely disagreed with its impact on the selection of clinical intervention (1.8 ± 1.06). On the other hand , 50% of nurses agreed with the effect of the computer program on patient care (2.2±0.99), 42.4% were satisfied with its effect on patient's diet planning (2.1±1.5) and 40.7% with the computer program on nursing diagnosis (2.01±1.09).There was significant relationship between some of the nurses’ demographic characteristics and their attitude (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Based on the results, nurses’ attitudes can be attributed to some defects in the computer programs and to the nurses’ compliance with information technology. To improve the effectiveness of electronic reporting, first, the quality of computer programs of clinical settings should be enhanced, and then changes should be occurred in organizational policies and in electronic documentation. Further, we should consider the impact of Levine's theory of change, indicating the staff’s resistance to technology adoption in workplace.

Abstract
Background and Objective: Cool temperature dialysate has been recommended to improve hypotension during dialysis. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the effect of lowering the dialysate temperature on intradialytic hypotension (IDH) and some interventions in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD).
Material and Methods: This randomized controlled trial with a cross over design was conducted on 50 patients divided into two equal groups. Each group was dialyzed for two periods of 12 HD sessions, once with standard temperature (37°C) and in the next period with cool dialysate (35.5°C). Blood pressure and the related interventions were noted during each dialysis. The Data was analyzed using Chi-square, McNemar, Independent and Paired T Tests.
Results: Overall, the frequency of hypotension in routine method was 18% and in cool dialysis was 5%. It means that hypotention in cool dialysis is significantly less than that of routin method (P<0.004). Furthermore, the mean of hypotension related interventions in both groups was also significant (P<0.001).
Conclusion: Owing to the effect of cool dialysate temperature on stabilizing hemodynamic parameters, we recommend using this method during hemodialysis in hypotensive patients.
