Furthermore, we performed a qualitative study through semi-structured interviews with 16 interns and analyzed the data using MAXQDA 10 software.

The results of the quantitative study showed that 8.4% of interns evaluated the program as poor, 66.3% moderate, and 25.3% good. The qualitative study showed that number and diversity of patients, instructor’s educational model, and number of interns had a significant role.

Although the outpatient teaching in the four major departments of Shiraz Medical School was evaluated relatively acceptable, it is far from the ideal point and need to be improved.

Assessing how programs are implemented from the perspective of the learners themselves is one of the most effective ways to improve the quality of continuing education. The aim was to evaluate the implementation of in-person continuing education programs from the perspective of nurses.

Setting of the study was the selected hospital of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences (Al-zahra hospital). This study is a descriptive cross-sectional one. Using a researcher-made questionnaire, the implementation of continuing education programs in four areas of the aim, educational techniques, educational content, and educational field was evaluated. The sample consisted of 236 nurses working in these hospitals who participated in the study through convenience sampling. Data were analyzed by SPSS software version 19 using descriptive statistics.

Based on the results, “the need for new content learning” was mentioned as the first priority in continuing education programs. The majority of participants scored each of ththe scope of the programs.

Medical students should have adequate knowledge on tuberculosis (TB) and national guidelines pertaining to its control, which is a major public health problem in developing countries. The present study aims to evaluate the knowledge on TB and Revised National TB Control Programme (RNTCP) among medical interns and the change in the level of knowledge following the dissemination of self-directed learning (SDL) modules using an e-learning tool (WhatsApp).

A prospective, nonrandomized, pre- and posttest study was done among 124 medical interns in a private medical college during July-August 2019. A semi-structured, self-administered questionnaire was prepared and filled by the interns in the pretest. Following the educational intervention, the same questionnaire was administered and posttest data were collected. The pre- and posttest results were expressed in frequency and percentage. Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to compare the change in the total mean score of knowledge using the e-learning tool following the dissemination of SDL modules.

The mean age of the interns was 22.82 ± 0.82 years. Of the total 124 interns, 60 (48.3%) had heard about the recent changes in RNTCP. The Internet (25.8%) and textbooks (23.4%) were the most common source of recent information regarding TB and RNTCP. The mean pretest score was 12.9 ± 3.08, which increased to 15.3 ± 2.62 during the posttest (z = -9.75,

< 0.05) following the intervention.

The knowledge regarding TB and RNTCP among the interns was inadequate. The usage of an e-learning tool “WhatsApp” was found to be effective in improving the knowledge in posttest as compared to pretest.

This experimental study was performed on fifty medical surgery internship students in Isfahan University of Medical Sciences in 2017. Students were randomly divided into two groups of control group and intervention group. The data were collected by a posttest after holding every class and a researcher-made form for evaluating students’ satisfaction after the end of the project. The results of this study were analyzed by SPSS 21 software using descriptive statistical methods (mean and standard deviation) and paired

-test.

Oral soft tissue diseases include a broad spectrum, and the wide array of patient data elements need to be processed in their diagnosis. One of the biggest and most basic challenges is the analysis of this huge amount of complex patient data in an increasing number of complicated clinical decisions. This study seeks to identify the necessary steps for collecting and management of these data elements through establishing a consensus-based framework.

This research was conducted as a descriptive, cross-sectional study from April 2016 to January 2017, which has been performed in several steps literature review, developing the initial draft (v. 0), submitting the draft to experts, validating by an expert panel, applying expert opinions and creating version v.i, performing Delphi rounds, and creating the final framework.

The administrative data category with 17 and the historical data category with 23 data elements were utilized in recording data elements in the diagnosis of all of the different oral diseaseson and exchange of ideas among experts and the careful use of the Delphi decision technique.

Oral health is a very important issue for different groups, especially adolescents. Social cognitive theory seeks to describe and promote people’s health behaviors in a variety of ways. The aim of this study was to determine the role of self-efficacy, outcome expectation, and outcome expectancy in promoting oral health behaviors in adolescent girls in Shahrekord.

The present study was performed as an intervention in junior high schools in Shahrekord (school year 2018-2019). Using cluster sampling method, a total of eighty adolescent girls studying in Shahrekord public schools were selected and randomly divided into two groups of intervention and control. Simnotrelvir A researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect data on demographic variables, outcome expectation, and outcome expectancy constructs. In addition, a checklist was used to assess the status of oral health among the participants. Education for the experimental group was held in four sessions, each lasting 50-60 min. The data required for the study were collected in three stages before the intervention, immediately after, and 2 months after the intervention.
