Emotional intelligence includes a series of characteristics that have the ability to affect a person's overall ability to respond to environmental needs and stress. Due to the stressful nature of the clinical environment, this study was conducted with the aim of determination the relationship between psychological stress in the clinical environment and emotional intelligence of nursing students of Hamadan University of Medical Sciences in 2022.

In this descriptive cross-sectional correlational study, 214 nursing students of the 2nd to 8th terms of Hamedan University of Medical Sciences were included in the study by census method. Data collection tools included demographic characteristics checklist, Siberia Schering's Emotional Intelligence questionnaire and Cohen's psychological stress in clinical setting questionnaire. Data analysis was done by descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient, one-way ANOVA and independent sample t-test in SPSS 25 software.

According to the results; the mean (standard deviation) of emotional intelligence scores was 106.15 (10.59) and psychological stress in the clinical environment was 52.01 (12.38). It was also found that there is an inverse and significant statistical relationship between emotional intelligence and psychological stress of students in the clinical environment (r = -0.26, P < 0.001).

Higher emotional intelligence effectively reduces the psychological stress in the clinical environment of nursing students. Therefore, it is suggested that relevant officials with targeted planning and holding classes and workshops to strengthen emotional intelligence; take steps to strengthen it in different students, especially nursing students.

Glioblastoma multiform (GBM) is a highly malignant and aggressive primary brain tumor in adults, associated with a poor prognosis and short life expectancy following diagnosis. This 10-year retrospective study aimed to identify factors influencing the survival of patients with GBM in Kermanshah.

A retrospective cohort study was conducted, involving patients diagnosed with GBM who underwent surgery at Kermanshah's educational hospitals between 2008 and 2018. Demographic, clinical, and pathological variables were collected using a checklist extracted from patients' medical records. Patients were followed from the time of surgery until death. Data analysis was performed using Stata 14 software, employing the Cox regression model to assess factors influencing patient survival (p<0.05 considered significant).

A total of 153 patients with GBM were diagnosed during the 10-year period. The mean age of the subjects was 56.32 ± 9.22 years, with 60.8% being male. The average overall survival duration was 18.13 ± 6.84 months. Multivariable Cox regression analysis revealed that age, sex, tumor location, size of necrosis, extent of tumor removal during surgery, and reoperation in recurrence were not significant predictors of survival (p>0.05). However, tumor type, tumor pathology, and temozolomide (TMZ) consumption emerged as the most important factors associated with survival in these patients (p<0.05).

This study highlights tumor type, tumor pathology, and TMZ usage as critical factors influencing the survival of patients with GBM. Considering these factors can greatly contribute to the improved management of GBM patients.

Screening examinations are usually used to identify people at risk of disease, in order to allow the use of early interventions in order to prevent or treat diseases. In this study, we have compared the awareness and performance of medical intern students and nurses regarding screening examinations, 2022.

The current research is a descriptive-comparative research. A total of 45 nurses and 45 medical interns were studied using available sampling and based on the inclusion criteria. The research questionnaire consisted of three parts: demographic information, questions to check awareness and questions to check performance. Data were analyzed with SPSS software version 25 and using statistical tests of frequency, percentage, T-test and Pearson's correlation coefficient.

The level of knowledge of nurses and medical interns was average (10.22±2.61 and 11.36±3.30, respectively) and in terms of performance, 82.2% of nurses and 46.7% of medical interns performed well. There was no statistically significant difference between the level of knowledge of nurses and medical interns (P=0.06), but in the field of performance, nurses performed better than medical interns (P=0.001).

The findings of the present study showed that there are deficiencies in the knowledge and performance of medical interns and nurses in the field of screening examinations, therefore, there should be urgent plans in the field of training for screening examinations and their timely performance, especially in the treatment staff. And it must be done.

One of the most important measures to reduce errors in operating rooms is to identify the causes of errors and their risk factors. The present study was conducted with the aim of determining the factors affecting the occurrence of errors and the barriers to reporting them from the perspective of surgical technology and anesthesia students at Alborz University of Medical Sciences, 2022.

This is a cross-sectional descriptive study in which all verified undergraduate surgical technology and anesthesia students were enrolled by census method. Data collection tools included demographic data and factors affecting the occurrence of errors, and barriers to error reporting questionnaires. Collected data were analyzed using SPSS software version 26, descriptive, and analytical statistics with a significant level of 0.05.

270 undergraduate surgical technology and anesthesia students took a part in this study. Findings indicate that the mean of the factors affecting the occurrence of errors was 2.62±0.74, and for the factors affecting error reporting it was 2.90±0.92. The highest mean score related to the field of environmental factors (2.82±0.85) among the factors affecting the occurrence of errors; and the scope of the reporting process (3.04±1.01) was one of the barriers to reporting errors.

The results of this study showed providing standard clinical training fields can have a significant impact on reducing the occurrence of errors. On the other hand, reforming the error reporting process and encouraging students to report errors should also be a priority for the management of educational and therapeutic centers.

Women's violence against men is an emerging phenomenon, and raising this issue is associated with conflicts due to the patriarchal roots that exist in the society.
