Abstract
Introduction: Self-concept is an important variable in the field of elderly, to which little attention has been paid. Also, quality of life is one of the most important factors of human development. The aim of this study was to determine and compare self-concept and quality of life between residential and non-residential elderlies of nursing homes in Tehran, Iran, in 2015.
Methods: This study was descriptive-analytical study. The population of this study consisted of all non-residential and residential elderly people (n = 434) living in nursing homes of Tehran. The participants were allocated into two equal groups (n = 217) of residential and non-residential elderlies using the accidental sampling method. Data were collected using the Rogers self-concept scale, elderly quality of life questionnaire (LIPAD), and demographic questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (frequency, mean, standard deviation) and inferential statistics (Chi-square test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and independent t-test) by the SPSS 18 software.
Results: Results showed that the mean values of self-concept for residential and non-residential elderlies were 8.25 ± 1.47 and 8.14 ± 1.63, respectively, which was not significantly different between the two groups. Also, the mean values of quality of life for residential and non-residential elderlies were 27.88 ± 9.80 and 31.81 ± 10.79, respectively, which was significantly different between the two groups (P = 0.000). The results showed that there was a significant relationship between self-concept and quality of life in residential elderly people (P = 0.001) and non-residential elderly people (P = 0.014).
Conclusions: According to the results of the present study, encouraging the elderlies' families to not send them to the nursing homes, improving and increasing the environmental facilities of the nursing homes, making the environment of these homes similar to their family homes, encouraging the elderlies' family or friends to regularly visit them, increasing the rehabilitation services and empowering the elderly can be helpful to improve the elderlies' quality of life.

Abstract
Aim and background: Shoulder pain after stroke is one of the most common types of pain and post-stroke complications, which also reduces the function of the affected hand. Shoulder pain is one of the obstacles to rehabilitation and independence on the patient's daily activities. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of magnetic field therapy on the shoulder pain of patients with subluxation after stroke.
Method: In this double-blind randomized, clinical trial, 36 patients with stroke who referred to the Tabassom rehabilitation stroke center in Tehran, complained of subluxation and shoulder pain, were included in the study by randomized sampling. After assigning patients in two groups of 19, in the intervention group, the magnetic shoulder support with the intensity of 1500 Guess and in the control group were used the shoulder without the magnetic feature for 48 hours continuous. Before and after the intervention, the pain was measured by the visual analog scale (VAS). Data were analyzed by SPSS software version 18 and using descriptive and inferential statistics. The significance level was considered (0.05).
Results: The majority of the intervention group (66.7%) were women and the control group was male (66.7%). There was no significant difference between the mean pain score of hands in two groups before intervention. However, after the magnetic therapy, the mean score of pain in the intervention group was significantly decreased (p = 0.001), but the changes in the control group were not significant.
Conclusion: Magnetic therapy in patients with stroke reduces shoulder pain. Magnetic therapy can replace or complement other therapeutic and surgical treatment for shoulder pain.

Abstract
Introduction: One of the stroke complications is hemiplegia, which can cause subluxation of the shoulder joint and reduce the passive range of motion of the affected shoulder, resulting in limited movement. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of static magnet therapy on pain-free shoulder passive range of motion in patients with shoulder subluxation after stroke.
Methods: This clinical trial study was performed on 36 patients with stroke (18 in the intervention group and 18 in the control group) referred to Tabassum Stroke Rehabilitation Center in Tehran in 2016. Neodymium magnetic shoulder support with an intensity of 1500 gauss was used in the intervention group, and non-magnetic shoulder support was used for the control group. A goniometer measured Pain-free passive range of motion (abduction) of the (shoulder with subluxation) under the supervision of an occupational therapist. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 18 using descriptive and inferential statistical tests. The significance level was considered 0.05.
Results: After magnet therapy, the mean score of range of motion in the intervention group increased significantly (0.023). Post-test comparison between the intervention and control groups showed that the mean score of range of motion was higher in the intervention group, but this difference was not statistically significant.
Conclusions: Magnet therapy as a complementary, low-cost, and safe treatment with an increasing range of motion without shoulder pain can help improve individual activities and prevent complications. Further studies on the effectiveness of magnet therapy in improving the range of motion are recommended.
