Organizational culture can have a positive effect on health information and including organizational culture in discussions of health literacy influences the recognition of health as a cultural concept. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the relationship between health literacy and organizational culture among the staff of Rafsanjan University of Medical Sciences in 2018.

This descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study was performed on 137 employees of the faculties and the central organization of Rafsanjan University of Medical Sciences who were selected by census method. The Health Literacy and Organizational Culture Questionnaire was used to collect data. Chi-square, Pearson correlation coefficient, and ANOVA were used to analyze the data. Data were entered into SPSS statistical software version 21.

The mean age of the study participants was 38.9 years. The highest mean scores of health literacy and organizational culture were for understanding and participation, respectively, and the lowest were for decision-making and adaptability, respectively. Peoplechr('39')s health literacy status as related to organizational culture was good. All four dimensions of organizational culture had a significant relationship with decision-making and evaluation of health literacy. Education had a significant relationship only with the adaptability dimension of organizational culture and age had a significant relationship only with access and reading health literacy.

Improving the organizational culture of employees through personnel training, organizational learning, organizational change, and including these items in strategic planning can improve their health literacy.

There are some indices for scientometrics including counting the number of scientific publications and the number of citations to these publications. Hirsch Index(H-index)is widely accepted for scientometrics because it has both qualitative and quantitative components for scientometrics. This study evaluated the scientific outputs of faculty members of Rafsanjan University of Medical Sciences through measuring the H-index.
In this cross- sectional study the publications of 160 faculty members of Rafsanjan medical science university were evaluated. Number of articles and citations to these articles were collected through the Web of science and Scopus databases. Data were analyzed using one-way repeated measures ANOVA, followed by Tukey's multiple comparisons test & t-test.
The H-index mean values in this university were 1.27±0.2 (evaluated through Scopus database) and 0.9±0.1 (evaluated through Web of Science database).This index was higher for medical school faculty members compared to the other schools (p These findings demonstrated that H-index value for faculty members in this university was lower than the international standard. In addition, the H-index value was lower in Nursing and Midwifery faculty and also in Dentistry faculty compared to the medical faculty.It is recommended to improve H-index of faculty members of these schools by planning training courses in scientific researches and publications.

One of the most common ways of evaluating scientific researchers, and along with it the evaluation of the universities, is the use of scientometric citation databases methods. This quantitative and qualitative study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of scientific researchers in the Web of Science (WOS) database during a ten-year period from 2002 to 2011. This descriptive study was conducted using scientometric methods. Sampling in this study was a census method and for data collection Web of Science databases were used. For articles published in the name of Rafsanjan University of Medical Sciences (RUMS) the database WOS was searched over a ten-year period. SPSS version 16 statistical tests were used for statistical analysis. Total number of scientific papers published in the ten-year period examined in this study was 200. The most scientific papers produced by the faculty of RUMS in the WOS database consisted of the original articles and documents published in 2011 accounted for most of the data. Maximum number of citations to the articles (93 references) was related to the year 2003. RUMS in scientific database of WOS in increasng, but considering the number of the faculty members the scientific publication rate is not acceptable. Policies must be adopted to train the teaching faculties of the university to engage in research in their own fields.

Today، the range of information and knowledge and the speed of production of science has increased dramatically. Using these information in the universities requires that the students become aware of the existing information sites. Although، these days internet as the biggest source of information is accessible، specific methods and also relative strategies are required for its application. Therefore، the aim of the present investigation was to evaluate the information literacy of the students of Rafsanjan University of Medical Science (RUMS) during 2010. This cross-sectional study was performed on 260 university students of RUMS. The data was collected by a questionnaire based on a Likert scale of five points (never=1، very low= 2، low=3، moderate=4، high=5). Data were analyzed using t-test، Pearson''s correlation coefficient and one-way ANOVA. Mean and standard deviation of students'' familiarity with information resources were calculated as 2. 70±0. 58، the amount of resources 2. 56±0. 68 and the degree of information literacy to 2. 62±0. 60 (of 5 scores). The results showed that there is a significant difference (p<0. 001) among nursing students'' information literacy rates (2. 84±0. 59) with the college of medicine (2. 42±0. 47) and dentistry (2. 36±0. 60). Results of the present study indicated that the information literacy of the students was less than average. Necessary education in information literacy could improve this situation. Results of our study also indicate that currently the students are dissatisfied with the presentation of this skill at the university level.
