Abstract: Background &aims:Chronic liver disease (CLD) is a progressive disorder which causes deterioration and regeneration of parenchymal cells in liver and has become an increasingly important public health issue worldwide. Cognitive impairment together with depression may substantially diminish the functional capacity of life in patients with CLD. Many a times both cognitive impairment and depression are not observed by health workers and not assessed in clinical area routinely. Therefore, studies in this area are vital to fulfil the gap of practice and this can facilitate the nursing personnel to support clinician in this challenging area. The aim of the present study was to assess the cognitive function and depression level of patients with CLD and compare withhealthy controls.Methods: A case control study was conducted in hepatology department of selected hospital on patients with CLD and healthy......

Abstract: Background: Academic agencies are increasingly looking forgood protocols that require interdisciplinary and collaborative teams for a scientific issue. Design of research protocols is challenging and often difficultbecause of the difficulty involved in integrating the differing characteristics of manycorrections to develop a single, consistent document. So, the aim of this study is to Develop and Validate an Instrument to Evaluate Research Protocols. Subjects and Methods: This study followed the process for instrument development outlined by Polit& Beck (2012). Results; the findings of this study showedhigh internal consistency since the Cronbach alpha coefficient reached the 0.82, also agreed responses of face and content validity of experts opinions. Conclusion: The scale has acceptable score of the reliability in all dimensions. Additional saturations of each item with their respective factors have high values. So we can say that this study has generated a valid measure that can evaluate research proposals instrument, since the results presented, as a whole, confirm the high reliability, also appropriate face validity and content

Keywords: research protocols, validity & reliability.
