Abstract

Background and objective: Scientific research in every country is the most important factor of growth and prosperity. This study was conducted to find out students' views about research barriers at SSUMS. Materials and Methods: This cross- sectional study was conducted using 384 students who were selected by multistage random sampling. Data collection tool was a valid and reliable questionnaire with 56 questions in 4 parts: 22 demographic and background questions, 15 items about personal barriers in research (α=0.73) with a 75-15 score range and 19 items in organizational barriers studies (α=0.77) with a 95-19 score range. It was completed in self report. Data was analyzed by SPSS-18 using descriptive statistics and analytical tests such as Pearson correlation, ANOVA, independent T-test and linear regression ( p=0.05). Results: Mean of personal barriers was 50.96±8.58 (67.94% of the full score), and that of organizational barriers 65.18±11.20 (68.61% of the full score). Personal perceived barriers were more in women (P=0.022). Personal barriers were higher in participants who did not participate in research workshops (P=0.033). Lack of adequate awareness of the principles and statistical methods and lack of adequate motivation had greater weight. Conclusion: Because of high interest of the students in research activities and due to their ability in this regard, university authorities should pay more attention to this issue.

Abstract

Background and Objective: In the recent years, the steady education has confronted with some challenges. Most of the studies estimate that the effectiveness of these programs is moderate; therefore, due to the importance and background of these researches, we assessed the current steady education in a qualitative way via the perspective of general practitioners (GPs).

Materials and Methods: This research with a qualitative approach was done among the Qazvin city s GPs  in 2015. The inductive content analysis was done for 3 focus groupS of discussions (FGD). IN in order to gather the data, a purposive sampling method until data saturation was used. All interviews were recorded,too.

Results: 23 General physicians participated in our study.The Data analysis led to the extraction of 6 main categories, 22 subcategories, 51 sub-codes, and, 67 suggested solutions. The main categories of participants included (2 subcategories), teachers (3 subcategories), policy (5 subcategories), designing  (4 subcategories), subject (3 subcategories) and the  content (2 subcategories).The main problems which were detected among the categories are as follows: participants :  basic learning problems and low motivation of GPs; teachers: low level of statement , being unfamiliar with  difficulties  which GPs face with and not having a certain goal; policy: exclusion of GPs ideas, low motivation of universities in holding programs with high quality, inadequate infrastructure in  training ,the inappropriate time of holding programs ,paying no attention to evaluation results and also the results that the teachers were not informed of them.; design: lack of appropriate technology, lack of target group level, boring and inappropriate form of holding; subject: mismatching the issues with needs  for general physicians, lack of focus neither  on the subject of the application, nor on a variety of topics; content: not practical and not updated program content and lack of coordination between the teachers in the delivery of the content.

Conclusion: The entire process of the steady education from needs assessment until the program requires a necessary revision and intervention. Increasing capabilities of teachers, concordance of teaching objectives with medical needs, teaching methods revision, providing structured feedback to the organizers and teachers seems to be very essential. Moreover, the use of more realistic Indicators for evaluation of the program, such as improving clinical performance must be considered, too.

Abstract

Background: Portfolio is one of the most important tools to inclusive education as well as its evaluation. It is a useful tool in the promotion and development of skills such as critical thinking, and can reduce the gap between theory and practice.

Object: The aim of this study was to revision on portfolio of community health nursing.

Materials and Methods: This is a qualitative study conducted in educational management paradigm in order to revision in portfolio which was used in Qazvin University of Medical Sciences in 2015. After the literature review various methods of data collection were used. All themes and items of the portfolio were structured in five point Likert scale checklist (completely necessary, necessary, neutral, unnecessary, completely unnecessary). Content validity of the checklist was evaluated qualitatively. Then, the lesson curriculum was evaluated by the researchers based on the late curriculum.

Results: Regarded to the main curriculum and the point views of experts 77  items were added in to the portfolio. Health education, home care, and communications did not exist in the original portfolio. The final portfolio set in 10 sections and 142 items.

Discussion and Conclusion: Items such as health education and communication have been emphasized in new portfolio. Developing and improving these skills may lead to community health improvement.

Abstract

Background & Objective: Recently medical education has been significantly evolution. One of these evolution has been a progressive reduction in time that medical students to spend in hospitals as well as changes in the profiles of hospitalized patients. The aim of this study was to develop the model of outpatient clinical education environment measure in interns of Islamic Azad University, Tehran medical branch.
Materials and Methods: This study was a cross sectional design. Participants of the study were 250, of interns of two university hospitals of Islamic Azad University, Tehran Medical Branch in 2017. Construct validity of ACLEEM instrument was assessed for to development of the model. Exploratory Factor Analyses (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analyses (CFA) was measured. Convergent and discriminant validities were determined. The Pearson correlation coefficient, Inter-Class Coefficient (ICC) were used to evaluate the stability of each research construct. The reliability of instrument was measured by Cronbach’s alpha coefficient.
Results: In EFA of the ACLEEM, the Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin (KMO) index was 0.83 and Bartlett’s test was significant (P <0.001) .The eight extracted factors of instrument had explained 60.73 percent of the variance after varimax rotation .Confirmatory factor analyses revealed the model of study. The instrument has a good fit and convergence and discriminant narrative. The internal consistency of instrument was > 0.8 and ICC was between 0.61-0.85 and the reliability of instrument was 0.81.
Conclusion: Overall, ACLEEM showed excellent measurement model and construct validity in an Iranian outpatient setting.

Abstract

Background & Objective: The study of academic burnout and its predictors as one of the main challenges of the educational system is of great importance. This research was conducted to investigate and explain the role of hope for employment and its subscales in predicting academic burnout.

Materials & Methods: All health sciences students at Ilam, Arak, Birjand, Semnan, and Hamedan Universities of Medical Sciences, Iran, in 2019 were examined in this descriptive-correlation study. The samples were selected using a stratified random sampling method (n=400). The required data were gathered using the Academic Burnout Questionnaire (developed by Berso et al.) and the Qureshi Rad Employment Hope Questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed in the SPSS-20 software using an independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, and simple and multiple linear regressions.

Results: The results of the study showed that 2.3%, 61.3%, and 36.5% of students suffered from low, medium, and high levels of academic burnout, respectively. The mean ± SD of the hope for employment score was 55.69±14.61, indicating a moderate level of hope for employment among the study participants. Based on the study results, 8.4% of the variance of academic burnout could be predicted by hope for employment (F=37.58, R=0.298, R2=0.086, adjusted R2=0.084, P<0.001).

Conclusion: The study findings revealed the positive effect of hope for employment on academic burnout. In addition to reducing academic burnout, interventions focused on increasing employment hope can also improve the academic performance of health sciences students.

Abstract

Background & Objective: Educational simulators have been proposed as effective tools for enhancing learning and improving students' skills when preparing for the workplace. This study aimed to determine the effect of simulation-based training in a hospital information system on nursing students' informatics skills before their internship.
Materials & Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted in the first semester of the academic year (2023-2024) with 26 third-semester undergraduate nursing students at the Ferdows Faculty of Medical Sciences. The students were randomly divided into control and intervention groups. The educational content featured a simulation of the inpatient module of a hospital information system. Students in the intervention group were given access to this module's developed training and practice sections over two weeks. After one month, the test section for this module was made available to both the intervention and control groups. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 26, where descriptive statistics were calculated, and the Mann-Whitney test was utilized.
Results: After the test, the mean scores of students in the intervention and control groups were 35.69 ± 3.9 and 29.85 ± 5.01 (out of 41), respectively. The difference between the mean scores of the two groups was significant (p = 0.003, Effect size = 0.59). Furthermore, there was no significant correlation between sex, age, or grade point average and the mean test scores in either group (P > 0.05).
Conclusion: Simulation-based training can potentially enhance nursing students' skills in utilizing hospital information systems. Considering the emphasis on the role of health information systems in the management of healthcare settings, it is recommended that simulated HIS training be included in the educational curriculum of nursing students.
