In terms of learning psychology, one of the effective factors in learning is self-regulatory strategies. Accordingly, this study was conducted to determine the status of self-regulatory learning strategies in medical and nursing students of Zanjan University of Medical Sciences.

The type of study is descriptive cross-sectional and the research tools included demographic information questionnaire and Pint rich and De Groot self-regulated learning strategies questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as mean and standard deviation and inferential statistics including independent t-test and PSS16 statistical software.  

This study showed that both groups of medical and nursing students use self-regulatory strategies in an acceptable way and their difference is not statistically significant (P <0.05). But there was a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of supervision and control in the two groups (P <0.003).
