    Abstract: Background: Pain is a pandemic health problem that exists from the birth to the death. Nowadays it is proven that infants recognize painful stimulus. Infant routinely experience pain in hospitals and also during procedures such as vaccination. So it is essential to find a non –pharmacologic method to relief pain. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of oral sucrose, breastfeeding and combination of them in the vaccination pain of less than 3 months infants. Methods and Materials: In this quasi –experimental study, 120 under 3 month's infants referred to Tabriz Health centers Participated. Infant randomly allocated between four groups, oral sucrose 25%, breastfeeding, combined method and control. In case group, 2 minutes after the intervention, vaccination was done. We used NIPS scale to determine pain score before and 0, 5, 10 minutes after vaccination. Moreover crying time and pulse rate was measured. Findings: This study showed that the mean pain scale immediately after vaccination in breastfeeding group was the lowest. But this difference was significant just between breastfeeding and control group (PV=0.007). The minimum of crying time was 66.6±32.62 seconds in breastfeeding group and the maximum was 126.26±46.15 in control group. Analyzing data with ANOVA showed that all interventions caused significant differences in crying time compared with control group. Using ANOVA did not show any significant differences in preventing of tachycardia between interventions. Conclusion: By looking at the findings, pain score and crying time was the lowest in breastfed group. Considering that breastfeeding is a natural, useful and cheap intervention that doesn't need any special equipment, using this method in pain relieving during painful procedures is proposed.

    Abstract: Introductions: Most of the working mothers return to work soon after giving birth, during breastfeeding period. The exhaustion associated with the care of a new born and breastfeeding is compounded with employment responsibilities and creates a vulnerable state of health for mothers. This study aimed to explore the health promotion process in breastfeeding working mothers in Tabriz during 2015-2017. Methods: This study was conducted through a qualitative approach and the Strauss and Corbin grounded theory (2008) method. Selection of participants was initiated using purposeful sampling and continued by theoretical sampling until theoretical saturation was achieved. Data were collected by in-depth semi-structured interviews, from 20 Iranian breastfeeding mothers who returned to work and committed to continue breastfeeding, 3 husbands, 2 mothers, 2 co-workers and one of the workplace supervisors. Results: Main concern of participants was emerged as “concern of failing to provide child’s needs”. Contextual factors which caused to main concern were “feeling guilty” , “mothering allegation of pleasure and hardship” , “ health as a missed priority”, “ Disproportional multidimensional role pressure” ,“ Solitude and friendless” and “Deterrence and damaging workplace”. The main strategy which mothers used in confronting with their main concern was “Redefining life based on child’s need” and include these steps: “Flourishing mothering instinct”, “balancing work- family” , Striving to improve the way of life’ and “seeking help” which caused to Physical and mental exhaustion along with growth and development. Conclusion: Promoting the participation of spouse who shared family responsibilities and having better comradely with coworkers seemed to be the major relief for exhausted and stressed mothers. Findings of this study conclude a significant need for more family-friendly policies at work with flexible schedules, part-time work options, access to child care, and access to suitable facilities to breastfeed or express milk. Moreover mental engagements induced by the sense of not fulfilling maternal task in an accurate manner are always accompanied with working mothers. Therefore, healthcare providers should try to promote breastfeeding along with maternal skills to improve maternal competences and enable mothers to mitigate sinful and guilt feeling by accepting themselves as good mothers.

The data were analyzed using the pearson correlation tests, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, and multivariate linear regression. Results: The mean (standard deviation) score of health promotion lifestyle was 2.30 (0.38) of the achievable score ranged from 1 to 4. The highest mean (standard deviation) score was for nutrition subscale 2.50 (0.49) and the lowest mean (standard deviation) score was for physical activity subscale 2.10 (0.5). The mean (standard deviation) score of perceived social support was 127.55 (16.64) of the achievable score ranged from 1 to 4.
