Introduction: Regarding the extensive use of IUD, as contraception. The present study was conduced to evaluate the complications resulting from muliload 375 and T Cu 380A IUD inserted in women referred to the health and treatment settings of Kermanshah medical sciences university in the year 2002.
Materials and Methods: The study was descriptive-analytic, on 122 women using M.L 375 IUD and 245 others using T 380A IUD were fully assessed. The tools used to collect data were questionnaires evaluating the following variables: Pregnancy, bleeding, ectopic pregnancy, uterine perforation, and expulsion, pelvic inflammation disease (PID). To analyze the data, descriptive statistic and X², student-T and Fisher tests were used.
Results: Severe bleeding during menstrual cycle was the most common complication in the two study groups, especially in the multiload 375 IUD group (75% vs. 41.6%; P<0.001). The multiload 375 IUD had a significantly higher dysmenorrhea rate compared to the T cu 380A (%70.8 vs. %40.8; P<0.001). The rate of intera-uterine pregnancy was low for the two device %1.7 vs. %2, and occurrence of ectopic pregnancy in multiload 375 IUD was 0.8% and in T Cu 380A group was not reported. There was no uterine perforation observed for either device.
Conclusion: According to the results gained, the common complications in each group were not dangerous and their severe and threatening complications were uncommon. The most frequent complications were severe bleeding during menstrual period, dysmenorrhea and spotting which were not life threating and could be controlled by supporting and training their users, although these complications were seen more among those using M.L 375 IUD. These two device were effective enough to prevent pregnancy. It seems that using T Cu 380A IUD is more suitable for those who want to have a long-term contraception.

Introduction: Prolonged labor is an important problem during labor which can have undesirable effects on both maternal and fetal health. Shortening the duration of labor has always been one of the aims of obstetricians. Hence, the purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of massage on the duration of labor in women attending to Bentolhoda Maternity Unit in the city of Bojnord, Northern Khorasan, Iran in 2005. Materials and Methods: In this clinical tial study, 62 primiparous women with normal pregnancy were participated. The indications of normal pregnancy included a gestational age of 37-42 weeks, single tone, and vertex presentation. Sampling was done by purposive method. Women were randomly allocated in two groups. The experimental group (n=32) received a 30-minute directional, reasonably firm and rhythmic effleurage massage in the back in each of the three phases of labor. The control group (n=30), did not receive any form of massage and received a routine 30-minutes nursing care in each of the three phases. Measurements were then made for strength, interval and frequency of contractions and the duration of each phase. Data were analyzed using student t, Chi-square and Mann-Whitney tests. Results: Findings showed a significant decrease in the duration of labor after massage sessions. The mean duration of labor for the massage group was 5.75 hourse and for the routine nursing care group 9.15 houres (p=0.001). Conclusion: According to the above results, there was a significant decrease in duration of the first phase of labor in pregnant women receiving massage sessions. Therefore, this method can be used to decrease the period of hospitalization.
