        Abstract Introduction: People with body deformity disorder suffer from anxiety in different areas of their life due to their perceived defects and they are often attacked by disturbing or unwanted images and thoughts about their physical appearance, and as a result, their quality of life and daily functioning decreases, so the research The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between sexual schemas and body image through the mediation of perfectionism and dysfunctional beliefs in people with body deformities in the beauty clinics of Mazandaran province. Research Method: The current research method is correlational and structural equation modeling (SEM). The statistical population of the research was made up of people who referred to the beauty clinics of Mazandaran province (the cities of Amol, Babol, Sari and Qaimshahr). Based on Klein's opinion, the sample size was 330 people selected in a purposeful and random way. The data collection tool was Anderson and Siranoski's (1994) gender schema questionnaire, Ten Sooto and Garcia's (2002) body image satisfaction questionnaire, Trishort et al.'s (1995) perfectionism questionnaire, and Wiseman and Beck's (1982) dysfunctional beliefs scale. In this research, SPSS22 and Amose23 software were used to analyze the information obtained from structural regression equation modeling. Findings: The results of the research showed that the lower limit is 0.46 and the upper limit is 0.65 between the two variables of perfectionism and ineffective beliefs as mediating variables between gender schema and body image. The confidence level for this confidence interval is 95. Considering that zero is outside this confidence interval, this relationship is a significant mediator. Conclusion: considering that the extent to which people pay attention to their appearance largely depends on the schemas related to appearance. These body patterns are used as a cognitive format to evaluate a person's appearance and body image emotions - the body image is the shape that a person has of his body in his mind. When contextual trigger events occur, body image thoughts and emotions trigger adaptive and self-directed activities or coping strategies. Disturbance in these emotional, behavioral and cognitive elements of body image is the core of the pathology of anorexia nervosa, anorexia nervosa and body image disorder. Manuscript profile

        Abstract: Introduction: drug administration is one of the most important duty of a nurse. Some of the reasons for incomplete implementation of pharmaceutical calculations are poor skill and lack of proper training in pharmaceutical calculations in universities. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of drug calculation skills education on the performance of nurses working in the Intensive Care Units. Methods: This study was a semi-experimental type, and the studied population consisted of nurses working in the special departments of Fatemeh Al-Zahra Hospital in Sari city, and 45 people were randomly selected. In this way, the nurses who worked in the special departments in the morning, evening and night shifts during the week in the selected hospital and met the criteria for entering the research were examined in one group before and after the intervention, which lasted for two months. It lasted the data of this research was used through a two-part questionnaire for qualified nurses to measure their skill in pharmaceutical calculations. The first part of the questionnaire included 9 questions about the demographic characteristics of the research units, and the second part included 18 questions related to the cognitive skills of pharmaceutical calculation. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire with a pre-test and post-test design. The data was collected using SPSS software and descriptive statistics (to determine the mean, standard deviation) and inferential (paired t) and Cronbach's alpha. It was examined and analyzed. Results: Mean (standard deviation) and median were equal to 15.6 (± 1.3) and 16 questions, respectively. Paired t-test showed a significant increase in the number of correct answers after the test compared to the number of correct answers before the test (Mean Difference: 5.91, 95% CI = 5.15 - 6.68; p-value: <0.0001). The mean scores obtained from the pre-test increased from 20% to the mean of 100% in the questionnaire after the intervention. Conclusion: The results show that nurses do not have sufficient information and calculational skills of medicine and the authorities are suggested to hold training workshops for them.
