Abstract
Background and Objectives: Self-efficacy is an individual's belief in their capacity to reach specific goals and is an important basis for behavior. Mothers play a decisive role in children's Oral Health (OH). The aim of this study was to determine the maternal self-efficacy in OH care of preschool children.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive-analytical research was conducted among 652 women with 3 to 6-year-old children in Kermanshah city in 2019. The participants were selected using simple random sampling from among the mothers who referred to health centers. The data was collected by a self-reporting written questionnaire.
Results: Family economic status (ß = 0.179 and P < 0.001), and mother education (ß = 0.104 and P = 0.032) were predictors of maternal self-efficacy in OH care of children. Mothers received about half of the score of the self-efficacy questionnaire. Maternal self-efficacy in OH care was lower when they felt stress, depression, and anxiety.
Conclusions: Mothers obtained about half of the score of the self-efficacy questionnaire. The necessity of developing and implementing interventions to improve maternal self-efficacy in OH care is felt, especially for mothers with lower education and Families with a weaker economic status.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the mediating role of compassion fatigue in the relationship between maternal emotional problems and emotional and behavioral problems of children with special needs.
Materials and Methods: The research method is correlation. The population of this study included all mothers of children with special needs in primary school in Arak. 171 people were selected as a sample from this population using random cluster sampling method. The measurements of this study were the Compassion Fatigue Questionnaire, the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS), and the Child Behavioral Checklist.
Results: The results showed that there was a statistically significant positive relationship between maternal compassion fatigue and emotional and behavioral problems of children with special needs (P < 0.001). While the direct effect of maternal emotional problems on emotional and behavioral problems of children with special needs is not significant, the mother's emotional problems have a direct effect on compassion fatigue, which is statistically significant (P = 0.001); Also, maternal compassion fatigue directly affects the emotional and behavioral problems of children with special needs (P = 0.001).
Conclusions: Maternal emotional problems increase compassion fatigue and with increasing maternal compassion fatigue, children's emotional and behavioral problems with special needs increase.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: The accurate estimation of the intensity of children's pain and anxiety makes it possible to plan to minimize their pain and anxiety more accurately. This study was conducted to compare the nurses and mothers' accurate estimation of the intensity of pain and anxiety of 3-6-year-old children during venous catheter insertion.
Materials and Methods: In this correlational descriptive study, 150 children in the age group of 3-6 years who needed venous catheter implantation were selected by available sampling method. Intravenous catheter insertion was performed consistently for all children by the same nurse on each shift. During this process, the intensity of pain was recorded using the Wong-Baker Scale, and anxiety was assessed using the Piri Faces Anxiety Scale for Children by both the nurse and mother. Data were analyzed using Pearson and Chi-square correlation coefficient tests in SPSS version 23 software.
Results: The mean pain score estimated by the nurse was 3.72±1.1, while that estimated by the mother was 3.7±1.79. There was a statistically significant and direct correlation between the mean pain intensity scores recorded by the nurse and the mother (P≤0.001). The mean anxiety scores assessed by the nurse and the mother were 3.64±1.14 and 3.6±1.72, respectively. There was a statistically significant and direct correlation between the mean anxiety intensity scores recorded by the nurse and the mother (P≤0.001).
Conclusion: There was a statistically significant and direct correlation between the mean scores of pain intensity and anxiety assessment of nurses and mothers. Therefore, the mean scores recorded by the mother or nurse can be a valid indicator for estimating the intensity of pain and anxiety in children.
