Introduction: Spiritual health is one of the four dimensions of health and it is a way to deal with stress during education. Considering the effect of cultural and geographical factors on both the spiritual health and educational achievement study was done to investigate the relationship between spiritual health and academic achievement of students of Bushehr University of Medical Sciences in the academic year 2018. Methods: This study is a descriptive-analytical and cross Population was 2100 students of Bushehr University of Medical Sciences and the sample size was 330 and they were selected from the fields of medicine, dentistry, paramedical, nursing and health by simple random method. For collection of data, a form of information including demographic variables was used. A self-regulatory in learning and spiritual well-being scale (SWBS) questionnaire was employed. Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests were used to analyze the data. Results: The mean spirituality well-being score was 81.27 ± 17.43, of 120 which 82.4% of the subjects had a moderate score (41-99). Spiritual health and age (P=./0001), academic years (P=./005) gender (P=./0001), place of residence (P=./008) and father's education(P=./012) were among the significant relationships. The mean self-regulation score for learning was 94.91 ± 13.61. There was also a positive and significant correlation between spiritual health and self-regulation in learning (r=./22 , p=./001) Conclusion: Considering the role of spiritual health in positivism, creating relaxation and helping to improve individual performance, it seems that spiritual health needs to be introduced in educational and cultural planning, especially in the field of practice.

Introduction: The main objective of the petrochemical industry is the production of petrochemical and chemical products and sub-products from oil, oil derivatives, and natural gas. Accordingly, the activities and processes have the potential to cause adverse effects on the environment.This study aimed to evaluate the environmental risks of Ilam Petrochemical Company using analytical network analysis (ANP)andTechnique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution Methods (TOPSIS)by proposing appropriate management measures to reduce the risk effects of multiple incidents in processes. Materials & Methods: At first, potential dangers and risks of the Ilam Petrochemical Complex wereidentified through field visits and interviews with project technical experts.Accordingly, a questionnairewasdesignedand20 experts from the Petrochemical Company and the Environmental Protection Agencywere asked to complete the designed questionnaire. The obtained results led to the identification of significant risksfactors, which were then categorized according to physio-chemical, biological, and socio-cultural-economic environment hazards. Subsequently, the weight associated with the each index was determinedusinganalytical network analysis (ANP) as well as the analysis of data in Super Decision software. In the next step, the obtained weights were prioritized for the identified risks by TOPSISmethod, and critical risks were identified. Finally, we propose the proper strategies for the controlandomissionof these risks. Findings: According to the obtained results,thehigh risk factors include the risk of air pollution with the rate of 0.972 inthephysico-chemicalenvironment, the risk of lowwater quality with therate of 0.883in the biological environment, and the risk ofgeneral health with a rate of 0.679 inthe socio-cultural-economic environment. Discussion & Conclusions: The results showed that the most important petrochemical riskswereair pollution, low water quality, and publichealth hazard. Therefore, it is recommendedto take the inspection and monitoring measures in accordance with the identified risksin order to eliminate the factors generatingenvironmental risks. It is also suggested to set these measures asthe main objectives of management planning.

Background & Objective: Globalization is one of the most important topics in higher education today which presents a powerful challenge and an opportunity for medical sciences university and healthcare provider Nowadays increasingly faced with healthcare challenges that require an understanding of global health trends and practices yet little is known about what constitutes appropriate global health training The main purpose of this research was to review the association between perception of globalization and information mastery and curriculum planning Methods: This was a descriptiveanalytical study on medical students The study population consisted of 180 medical sciences students who were selected with random sampling methods In order to measure attitudes of students towards globalization measures were developed and used by researchers For the purpose of evaluating of the validity of the measures construct validity was utilized by factor analysis In order to determine the reliability of the measures Cronbachs alpha was used as well Results: Findings indicated that the total respondents agreed or had positive approach towards globalization Based on the results of the factor analysis four factors ie personal and social attitude with 15 questions sociopolitical attitude and 7 question two questions for performance and the fourth factor was the resource management concept of globalization which were identified with only one question in the questionnaire Analysis of variance (ANOVA) results showed that there was no statistically significant association the students perspective and demographic variables gender school and age Conclusion: The positive perception of globalization highlighted the needs of global health educational competencies and approaches used in medical schools and the need to facilitate greater consensus amongst medical educators and students on appropriate global health training for future health care providers This process led to world integration density of human awareness and world culture formation

Clinical education will be possible with involving patients. Many patients who seek medical and diagnostic care can be involved in clinical training. Therefore, teachers and students need to know the legal aspects of patient involvement and adhere to these aspects in order to attract patients’ participation and satisfaction. This study reviewed the importance and necessity of legal aspects, including patient consent, confidentiality and privacy during clinical education. This article described how to take patient consent for participating in training as well as several measures to maintain patient privacy. Giving informed choices without a threat to the patient is emphasized. Finally, it is suggested to prepare leaflets about how to obtain patient consent and maintain confidentiality to inform teachers and students in this regard.

Introduction: Continuous evaluation of students' academic achievement in different periods is the basic and inevitable principle for improving the quality of the educational system. Since any change in the planning, management and action for improving quality needs to assess the current situation, this study aimed to assess the educational status of all graduate students at Shahed University. Methods: This cross-sectional study was designed and implemented at Shahed University during 2011-2012. Subjects were all medicine students entered 1993 and graduated in 2011. The checklist has been prepared according to goals. Demographic information and history of students’ academic achievement has been extracted from students’ educational records. All students who have entered this university from 1993 -2003 were assessed. Data analysis was done by descriptive and inferential statistics (T-Test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation). Results: During these 10 years, 46 percent students used the Shahed quota and 54% had free quota. The mean diploma score was 15.86±2.79. Minimum input average was in 1372 and maximum was in 1379. Analysis showed positive correlation between mean diploma score with mean scores of basic sciences, apprenticeship and clerkship. There was inverse correlation between the mean diploma score and the number of probation period. There were significant differences between male and female students’ mean score of diploma, basic Sciences, apprenticeship and clerkship. Girls’ scores were higher than boys’ scores. This difference was observed in frequency of academic probation. Male students had more probation. Conclusion: Institutions are required to review the status of their students and revise necessary items and monitor these revisions. It is essential to pay more attention to students who enter with weak background of secondary school, students who are rejected or have the probation during first years.
