    This study was conducted to investigate nurses' knowledge and attitudes towards older patients. This study was conducted in a cross-sectional method on 412 participants from July to October 2020. Patients were selected using random sampling method. Three questionnaires were used: a sociodemographic form, an Older Patient in Acute Care Survey and a Knowledge about Older Patients-Quiz. According to the Pearson correlation test, there is a statistically significant and positive association between knowledge and general opinion (P = 0.000), (r = 0.271) and between practice experiences and general opinion (P = 0.000), (r = 0.205) of nurses about older patient care. There was no statistically significant relationship between knowledge and practice experiences (P = 0.857), (r = -. 009). Nurses' increased knowledge and awareness of the older people will improve their interactions with the older people and the quality of their care.

    (Department of Marketing Management, Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka., 2021) Shahraki, Sedigheh Khodabandeh; Tavan, Asghar; Khoshnood, Zohreh; Maryam, Alikamali
    Type II diabetes, a non-communicable disease, is a silent epidemic and health problem with physical, psychological, and social consequences. Sexual function in diabetic patients can be affected by several factors including their personality traits. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between personality traits and sexual function in women with type II diabetes. This descriptive-analytic study was performed on diabetic women with type II diabetes in Zarand, Iran. Eighty-five patients were selected using convenience sampling andconsidering the possible 20% subject attrition, 102 diabetic patients were selected as the final sample.The participants completed the NEO Five-Factor and sexual function questionnaires. We found no significant relationship between the personality traits and sexual function in females with type II diabetes. None of the NEO Five-Factor personality traits, that is, emotional instability, extraversion, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness, was effective in sexual function. Sexual function can be affected by various factors, and personality traits cannot always be influential in this regard. Thus, it is essential for midwives, mental health professionals, and nurses to identify the personality traits and other factors affecting diabetic patients such as lifestyle, healthy nutrition, exercise, and stress management.
