The present study was conducted with the aim of comparing the curriculum of the master's degree in pediatric nursing in Iran with Virginia and West Virginia.

The current study is a descriptive-comparative study that was conducted in 1402 using the Brody method (4 steps). In the description stage, the subject under study is recorded based on evidence and information. In the interpretation stage, the data that the researcher has described in the first stage is examined and interpreted. In the Juxtaposition stage, the information obtained in the previous two stages is classified to compare similarities and differences. In the comparison stage, the research problem is examined and compared according to the details in the field of similarities and differences and answers to the research questions.

The master's degree in children's nursing in Iran does not have an academic orientation, and students in this field must attend the university full-time. ; At the University of Virginia, this field has two majors: primary care and acute care, and part-time and full-time studies are possible. In Iran, admission to this field depends on passing the exam of the Ministry of Health and there is no need for clinical work experience. While in the other two universities, an active RN license (at least one year) is one of the admission requirements. Also, at the University of Virginia, being an active member in the nursing system organization, having an active role in hospital leadership teams and evidence-based performance projects, and having excellent writing and interview skills are among the admission criteria. The number of study units is different in all three universities. In Iran, it held all training courses face-to-face, and in West Virginia, training courses are online.

Creating a new trend for children's nursing according to the needs of society can be effective in the development of this field in Iran.

Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs) have been considered to be the leading cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Various factors such as occupational and environmental risk factors affect CVDs. Nowadays, shift work is considered to be an occupational stressor. Previous studies have shown conflicting results regarding to the relationship between shift work and cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between shift work and the risk of cardiovascular diseases based on the Framingham Risk Score among nurses working in hospitals associated with Abadan Faculty of Medical Science during 2019.

This study is a descriptive-analytic study which has been conducted on 120 nurses divided to 60 shift workers and 60 day workers working in hospitals associated with Abadan Faculty of Medical Science. The participants were selected through stratified random sampling technique. Data were collected using two-section tools including demographic data (smoking and medical and occupational history) and the Framingham Risk Score which were collected through check lists and interviews. Blood pressure (BP) was measured using a digital measuring device. The participants' blood pressure was measured by standard method and two month follow-up. Measurements were taken at the beginning and end of the shift. Blood Total Chol and HDL were measured in a 5cc intravenous blood sample after 10-12 hours fasting time and were measured by standard laboratory technique. In all the tests, a confidence level of 95% and a significance level less than 0.05 was considered. Data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics using SPSS version 22.

According to the results of this study it can be concluded that the mean age shift workers and day workers were 32.20±2.97 and 37.43±2.90 respectively. Also, job experience in shift workers and day workers were 8.40±4.42 and 14.10±3.12 years respectively. There was a statistically significant difference between prevalence of CVD risk and shift work based on Framingham Risk Score (p=0.04).

The results of this study revealed that shift work is a risk factor for CVD disturbances. These findings may be of use for nurses and other relevant authorities for screening and even preventing CVD

Background and The office of educational services at universities is a very important division and it is necessary for employees to strive towards providing suitable services to students. The quality of educational services has always been a major concern for higher education managers. Interviewing stakeholders and experts increases our understanding of different aspects of the subject in order to create a native model with high performance capability based on existing conditions and the cultural and political infrastructure of our country. Therefore, we aimed to define the perception and experiences of educational service stakeholders.
In this qualitative thematic content analysis that adapted a deductive approach using Graneheim and Lundman’s method. Initially, purposeful sampling was done to identify and select the students (as first level stakeholders) studying paramedical majors at one of the medical science universities of the country during the educational year 2015-2016. Altogether, 20 people were interviewed consisting of 6 students, 4 faculty members, 2 student affairs employees, 1 counselor, 2 education officers, and 2 education office managers).Data were analyzed and coded using MAXQDA software.
Of the 400 initial codes extracted through data analysis, 336 abstract codes, 48 sub-categories, 20 categories, and 7 themes were obtained. The level of abstraction was different in the categories. The extracted themes were as follows: information gap before and after entering university, the difference between expected and perceived services and factors contributing to expectations, the university’s approach in enhancing service quality, the student and management of educational problems, the system-student interaction in educational planning, and the professors’ responsibilities and performance in enhancing quality, and the role on the university management system in enhancing the quality of services.
In the current educational management system, there are several gaps affective the quality of service providing such as the gap between the students’ expectations and the management system, the gap between the perceptions of the university management and the designing and standardizing of services, the gap between standardization and presentable services, communicational gaps, and gaps between received services and expected services. Therefore, in a future study, we will define these gaps and present a model that could fill those gaps.
