Considering the significant role of higher education, particularly medical sciences education, in the health and development of society, the educational system should be planned in a way that maximally caters to the community's needs. The goal of this article is to present a responsive and justice-centered education model in medical sciences education. In the quantitative phase, data from 335 faculty members of Payambar-e Azam Hospital in Hormozgan were collected using stratified random sampling and a questionnaire that identified components within a Likert scale. The content validity and structural validity of the questionnaire were confirmed through confirmatory factor analysis. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient exceeded 0.70, indicating reliability. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling with SmartPLS-3 software. Equity-centered, universality, needs assessment, content, and principled are characteristics of equity-based education. According to the T-value modeling results, the factor loads of all model variables were above 0.96 and, at a 95% confidence level, were statistically significant. The highest factor load was related to enabling and inhibitory factors, with a factor load of 0.54 and variance of 0.23. In contrast, the lowest factor load was related to the dimensions of responsiveness and equity-based education with a factor load of 0.12 and a variance of 0.02. Universality, needs assessment, and content should be considered in equity-based and principled education in the planning of educational programs at medical universities.

purpose of the current research is to design a model for the improvement of the non-governmental education system with an emphasis on the education of the third millennium at the elementary level.

Cronbach's alpha, tangent (AVE) tests, AVE root matrix, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, confirmatory factor analysis and t-test were used to analyze the data.

The results led to the identification of 20 components and 96 indicators, of which 6 dimensions and 16 effective components including structural factors (culture, education, managerial support), family factors (family economic facilities, physical facilities, educational and occupational status of parents), factors Social (communication, social responsibility), individual factors (self-confidence, trustworthiness, risk-taking, self-motivation), environmental factors (school, teacher), and contextual factors (student age and gender) are influential.

Among these, path coefficients indicated that individual factors with path coefficient (0.26) were the most important factor and contextual factors with coefficient (0.24) were the second factor, environmental factors (0.19), third factor, family factors (0.12) and fourth factor. Structural factors (0.118) were the fifth factor and finally social factors (0.11) were the last effective factor.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of education model based on problem solving approach on educational engagement of medical students of Islamic Azad University, Tehran Medical Sciences Branch.  

This research is quasi-experimental research in terms of applied purpose. The statistical population of this study was all 5928 medical students of Islamic Azad University, Tehran Branch of Medical Sciences, of which 60 were divided into experimental and control groups. The intervention group received training based on a problem-solving approach for 8 sessions. Data were collected using Zerang Academic Involvement Questionnaire (2012) and analyzed using SPSS version 25 by MANCOVA statistical test.

In the pre-test stage, the mean of academic involvement was not significantly different between the two groups. Comparison of academic involvement in the intervention group showed that a significant difference was observed in the mean of this variable and its dimensions after the intervention (p= 0.05). It shows that the model of education based on the problem-solving approach has a significant effect on the academic engagement of medical students of Islamic Azad University, Tehran Branch of Medical Sciences.

Education based on problem solving approach is one of the important factors that plays a role in students' academic engagement.

About one-third of human life is in sleep (2). Adequate sleep plays a vital role in mental and cognitive motor development in children and adults (3). Lack of sleep can have adverse effects on endocrine function, cognitive function, metabolism and inflammatory responses (4). With sleep problems, cognitive and emotional issues such as depression, anxiety, cognitive impairment, learning disability and intellectual development disability (2). Sleep complaints are very common in the normal population and about 37% of people suffer from sleep problems, sleep problems are one of the associated problems in autistic patients (7). Autism spectrum disorders ASD (1) is a type of autism spectrum disorder It is a pervasive developmental disorder that starts before 36 months of age and begins before the age of 3 and its prevalence is estimated to be 5 to 10 cases per 10,000 births. Children with autism are also susceptible to sleep disturbances (8). Due to the high prevalence of sleep problems in children with autism, effective treatment is necessary in these children. Many of the behaviors that fertilizer has with autism such as hypersensitivity to environmental disturbances, repetitive behaviors, difficulty in social understanding, etc. are likely to contribute to sleep disturbances in children. Behavioral approaches improve sleep onset. These approaches include behaviors that make it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep (10). In the process of story therapy, children are trying to become more aware of their feelings and thoughts, face their painful emotions and feelings, and express them throughout the story (11). Recent studies have shown that behavioral interventions that are present in early life. Autistic children are considered as a valuable and effective treatment for behavioral symptoms of autism. Blossom fard and Mazaheri in 2015, a study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of attachment-based storytelling on reducing sleep time problems and improving the child-mother relationship, the results of this study showed that attachment-based storytelling, in addition to being a solution for female routines, showed that attachment-based storytelling, in addition to being a solution for female-born routines, showed that the results of this study were based on attachment-based storytelling. Beth was able to reduce the disturbances of the child's sleep time, leading to a significant improvement in the parent-child relationship as one of the correlatives of sleep problems, so the clinical work of attachment-based storytelling is not only about improving sleep problems, but also for improving the emotional and mental health of the child and their families (18). It is controlling diseases and considering the educational and therapeutic aspects of storytelling that can be used as a valuable and efficient tool for improving life and social skills as well as treatment of sleep disorders, therefore, the researcher has decided to study the effect of storytelling education on sleep disorders of children with autism in order to prove the hypothesis that "teaching storytelling" It is effective for parents to "perform sleep disorders in children with autism" that ultimately provide a successful way of treating with minimal cost and time so that children with autism benefit from reduced sleep problems.

This study is a clinical trial study, in which the research population consists of children with autism and their parents who have a medical record with a definite diagnosis of autism. The sample in this study is parents of children with autism who have records in Tehran autism center in 2018 and meet the inclusion criteria. Researcher after reviewing the records of children with autism, a certain number of them are used. The available method and the sample size were randomly assigned to the intervention group using a pre-test-post-test experimental design with 45 parents in the Autism Society and 45 as the control group. In this stage, sleep disorders were measured using the CSHQ children's sleep habits questionnaire. The questionnaire consists of 45 questions, some of which have only diagnostic and therapeutic value and not research, so in scoring it only 33 questions are identified, most of which are scored on likert scale from 1 to 3 and its options are usually (7-5 nights per week), sometimes (2-4 nights per week) and rarely (0-1 nights per week). The score is between 33-99 and the total score is more than 41 indicating sleep disturbances in the child. In Iran, the validity of the instrument in the research of Shoghi, Khanjari, Farmani, and Hosseini (2005) was evaluated by content validity method and its validity was determined by two-week interval testing for 10 children between 11-6 years old, 97.97. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient was obtained from two studies, 0.77 and 0.79 (23). The researcher used the treatment method only for the intervention group in five sessions each for 60 minutes and finally obtained the scores of the questionnaire from both intervention and control groups.

In describing the characteristics of the research units, the demographic and contextual characteristics of the sample were compared and tested in two groups and the homogeneity of each of these variables was evaluated in the intervention and control groups. Nominal variables were compared and tested using Chi-Square test, precision chi-square (for tables larger than two and expected low frequency) and Fisher's accurate test (for tables two in two and expected low frequency) in both groups.In the inferential statistics section, the main variable, i.e. sleep disorder score in the sample, was compared in the intervention and control groups and in the previous stage with after the intervention, it was compared and tested. Classical tests were used due to the high sample size and according to the central limit theorem in the statistics, which with the increase of the sample size, the average distribution of the sample is close to the normal distribution.For comparing the two groups before the intervention, independent T-test was used for intra-group tests and comparison of two stages before and after the intervention for each group, and finally, using covariance analysis (ANCOVA) by eliminating the effect of pre-test, the effect of storytelling education to parents on sleep disorders of children with autism was investigated. Comparison of sleep disorders in children with autism was done in the intervention and control groups after teaching storytelling to parents and in the control group after the second test using independent T-test. There was a significant difference between the mean score of sleep disorder in the control group and the intervention after teaching storytelling to parents and in the control group after the second test.

Table information regarding the research hypothesis about determining the effect of storytelling education to parents on sleep disorders in children with autism indicates that the score of sleep disorder in the intervention group decreased by 5.7 ± 7.3 and in the control group  increased by 0.1 ± 2.1 the independent T-test showed this significant difference (P<0.001). Therefore, based on the data and findings, it can be claimed that the research hypothesis has been confirmed. Comparative diagram of sleep disorder score in children with autism before and after the intervention in the intervention and control groups shows that the difference before and after the intervention in the intervention group is higher than the control group. Comparative diagram of sleep disorder score in children with autism studied Before and after the intervention in the intervention and control groups.

The aim of this study was to identify the effective demographic factors on exam anxiety and perception from the classroom environment of high school female students.

However, no statistically significant difference was observed between the medical and non-medical students in terms of problems related to "burnout", "unexpected events such as natural disasters”, "different accidents" and "behavioral characteristics and habits, and health issues" (p>0.05).

The results of present study can help managers in developing educational frameworks to improve and create a suitable educational environment, recognize and improve coping strategies among students and to provide effective education for parents in order to reduce the stressors of students

Emotional intelligence is one of the most effective ways to reduce test scores and can be learned through education and increase success. The overall purpose of this study was to determine the effect of teaching emotional intelligence components on exam anxiety of students of medical and non-medical sciences departments of Islamic Azad University, Tehran Medical Branch in the academic year of 2018-2019.

For this purpose, the quasi-experimental research method of pre-test-post-test was used that 179 people were selected from medical and non-medical students of Islamic Azad Medical Sciences of Tehran by quota method and were divided into experimental and control groups. Sarason test anxiety questionnaire was used to collect the required information. After completing 8 training sessions on emotional intelligence components, Post-test was taken from two groups. The data obtained from the study were analyzed by descriptive statistical methods and appropriate inferential tests.

The results showed that the mean reduction of test scores in the experimental group in medical and non-medical students was significantly different from the control group. (P <0.05) According to the results of the present study, the training of emotional intelligence components in the form of A group used it for students, especially students with high test anxiety. Also, software and educational books in this regard should be prepared and made available to students.

Retinoblastoma is the most common primary intraocular malignancy in childhood. Diagnosis of the disease and treatment decisions put a lot of stress on the family. Excessive anxiety and stress can lead to serious psychological problems. The cognitive behavioral approach focuses on the individuals’ thoughts, behaviors, and emotions and their interaction. This study aimed to investigate the effect of cognitive behavioral interactions on the emotional reactions of parents of children with retinoblastoma.

This study was carried out using a quasi-experimental design on 106 parents of children with retinoblastoma referred to the Farabi Eye Hospital, Tehran, Iran, between 2017 and 2018. Cognitive behavioral therapy was performed through eight sessions of 90-minute training for parents. The data collection method was self-responding using the depression, anxiety, and stress scale-21 Items (DASS-21) questionnaire. Pre-and post-intervention test scores were collected for statistical analysis.

The mean anxiety score decreased from 13.65 (moderate anxiety) before the cognitive-behavioral intervention to 10.13 (mild anxiety) after the intervention (p<0.05). The mean depression score decreased from 11.26 (mild depression) before the intervention to 8.32 (no depression) after the intervention (p<0.05). The mean stress score decreased from 10.79 (normal) before the intervention to8.25 (normal) after the intervention (p<0.05).

Our study showed that the occurrence of retinoblastoma in children poses a significant risk to the mental health of their parents. Cognitive-behavioral interventions can be effective in improving the level of parent's anxiety, depression, and stress.

Considering the importance of higher education and the fundamental role of faculty members in developing the quality of universities and establishing justice, it is necessary to correctly determine their performance, which is one of the main components of higher education. Therefore, this study aimed to provide a model for determining the faculty member workload at Hamadan Branch, Islamic Azad University, Hamadan, Iran.

This multi-stage mixed study was conducted in three stages. In the first stage, a qualitative research method was used to conduct 15 semi-structured in-depth interviews with 15 faculty members at Hamadan Branch, Islamic Azad University, Hamadan, Iran, in the academic year 2018-19. The qualitative data were analyzed using Graneheim and Lundmanchr('39')s method and a content analysis approach. Subsequently, in the second stage of presenting a model for workload determination, 230 people were selected by stratified random method and Morgan table. Positive and negative emotions, self-regulation, and academic self-improvement questionnaires were used to collect the data. The validity and reliability of the questionnaires were confirmed by expert opinions and Cronbachchr('39')s alpha, respectively. Qualitative content analysis method, structural equations, and LISREL were used in order to analyze the data.

According to the results of the qualitative data, the dimensions of the initial model using the content analysis approach were classified into seven categories of "education and teaching", "research", "specialized activities outside the university", "entrepreneurship", "individual development", "culture", as well as   "executive and managerial activities". Positive and negative emotions, self-regulation, and academic self-improvement questionnaires showed a good fit of the model.

According to the findings, it can be said that Azad Universities of Hamadan province, Iran, have not yet been able to consider appropriate activities for faculty members in the main categories of "research", "entrepreneurship", "individual development", "culture", and "other activities" that professors pay attention to. On the other hand, the main focus is on "teaching and learning" and "executive activities".

Due to the chronic nature of the disease, patients with diabetes need training to take care of themselves and increase self-efficacy. Self-efficacy is a person's confidence in the ability to perform self-care behaviors in specific situations. With increasing awareness, patients' self-efficacy has increased, which significantly reduces the complications of the disease. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the effect of two educational methods of multimedia and video-feedback on the self-efficacy of diabetic patients.

In this semi-experimental study, 75patients with Type II diabetes mellitus were selected using the simple sampling technique and were subsequently divided into three groups. In the multimedia group, the subjects were given a CD and in the video‒teach-back group, the subjects received training for four 1hour sessions. The control group did not receive any intervention. Data were analyzed before intervention and three months after intervention using DMSES (Diabetes Management Self-Efficacy Scale) was determined.

The results showed that there was no significant difference between the pre-intervention patients' self-efficacy scores in the three groups (P> 0.05), but there was a significant difference between the self-efficacy scores after intervention in the two groups compared to the control group. (p < 0/01). The results showed that the effectiveness of both educational methods on self-efficacy in diabetic patients was the same (P= 0.302).

Use of multimedia and video‒teach-back educational techniques improved self-efficacy for patients with Type II diabetes mellitus. Given the cost-effectiveness of both these techniques, they can be used for diabetic patients

Anxiety is a phenomenon that is intensified nowadays along with the high emphasis of educational systems on tests. Hence, it can disrupt the correct performance of the learner in the test position. The purpose of this study was to determine the test anxiety and its effect on the performance of students in the clinical competency test of the end of the general medical course at Tehran Islamic Azad University in the academic year 2017-2018. The research method was a descriptive-correlational design. In addition, a total of 270 graduate students were selected by available sampling method. For data collection, demographic questionnaire, test anxiety Sarason (1977) and the results of clinical competency test were used. Using the logistic regression and software 22SPSS, the status of relationships between the variables of research was examined from respondents' point of view. Accordingly, the results showed that test anxiety (mild, moderate and severe) had a significant effect on students' performance in the clinical competency test of the end of the general medical course in Tehran Islamic Azad University during the academic year 2017-2018 (p <0.05). Considering the fact that examination may cause anxiety among students, planning for effective management of test anxiety in students is necessary and should be noticed.

Childhood obesity is associated with an increase in childhood morbidity, so that outpatient visits, hospitalization repetitions and the need for treatment in obese children are higher than non-obese children. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between parents' lifestyle and childhood obesity and its comparison in single and multi-child families.

This study was a descriptive-correlation on 400 primary school students in Mashhad City in a multi-stage cluster sampling method based on the purpose. A questionnaire consisting of three sections of demographic, researcher-made LSQ lifestyle, and a Dianna bavmerind parenting method was used.

There was a significant relationship between dimensions of lifestyle of families and obesity of children in some dimensions, so that significant negative correlation was found between physical health, sleep and rest, exercise and health, weight and nutrition control, disease prevention and environmental health, and BMI of children (p=0.001). In terms of psychological, mental, social health, drug avoidance, and prevention of events, no significant relationship was seen regarding the BMI of children. There was a significant difference between lifestyle dimensions in single child families and multiple children ones (p=0.001). There was no correlation between different styles of parenting and BMI in obese children (P>0.05).

Training parents about the causes of obesity in children and also monitoring children in their family, school, and environment can be effective in improving their lifestyle.

One of the psychiatric disorders related to childhood is attention deficit hyperactivity disorder that can negatively affect the family interactions of these children. Parents of these children, especially the mother as the main caregiver, need comprehensive training to make a positive difference in their attitudes and behaviors with these children. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of emotion regulation training on family relationships in hyperactive children.

This was a randomized clinical trial study with a control group performed on eighty mothers of hyperactive children who were selected randomly. The intervention group members attended emotion regulation skills training sessions for one session of 90 min each week for 8 weeks. During the training course in the intervention group, the control group did not receive any training. Data collection tools included demographic information questionnaires, Mother–Child Relationship Evaluation, and Rahim Organizational Conflict Inventory‑II. Data analysis was performed by descriptive statistics and the analysis of covariance.

The mean scores of the mother–child relationship in the intervention group showed a significant improvement in the subscales of acceptance, overprotection, facilitation, and rejection (P < 0.0001). The results of this research also showed improvements in all the five communication styles of integrating, avoiding, compromising, obliging (P < 0.0001), and dominating (P < 0.012) between spouses.

It seems that the emotion regulation training approach in mothers with hyperactive children improved both the mother–child relationship and the interactive spousal styles and can be considered by the managers of treatment and rehabilitation field as an adjunctive therapy for the families of these children.

Emotional intelligence is one of the most influential subjects in learning and intelligence, and it can also be learned through education and increases the chances of success.  The overall aim of this study was to determine the effect of teaching emotional intelligence components on emotional intelligence of students of medical and non-medical groups of Tehran Islamic Azad University of Medical Sciences in the academic year 2016-2017. Hence, research method was pre-test and post-test semi experimental with 179 subjectsthe quotas were selected from medical students and non-medical students of Tehran Islamic Azad University of Medical Sciences. Moreover, they were divided into two groups of test and control. To collect the information, the Bar-Anne 2002 Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire was used. After the completion of 8 sessions training components of emotional intelligence, two groups had post-tests. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and appropriate inferential tests. Finally, the results indicated that mean of emotional intelligence in all components of emotional intelligence was higher in training group (p = 0/000) and this was higher within non-medical group in comparison with medical group, although there was no significant difference between the students of medical and non-medical groups (p> 0.05). Therefore, results of this study indicated that the training of emotional intelligence components increases emotional intelligence among students. Thereupon, curriculum planners can create syllabuses designed to teach students emotional intelligence in medical sciences.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) affects people's physical and mental aspects, including the quality of sexual relationships. In this study, the effect of emotional regulation training on the sexual function and sexual satisfaction of MS patients was investigated.

This quasi-experimental study was performed on 98 women with MS who were referred to the Iranian MS Research Center in 2016. The emotional regulation training program consisted of eight two-hour sessions. The demographic information, emotional regulation skills questionnaire (ERSQ), female sexual function inventory (FSFI) and sexual satisfaction scale for women (SSSW) questionnaires were completed before and after the intervention.

The emotion regulation status of 93.9 percent of the subjects was at a moderate and high level before the intervention, which increased by 100 percent after the intervention. In the case of sexual function and sexual satisfaction, the pre-test rate was 83.7 and 98.9 percent, respectively, which reached to 97 and 100 percent after intervention. The mean of emotional regulation, sexual function, and sexual satisfaction before intervention was 59.97, 20.24, and 92.00, which after intervention reached to 77.08, 26.98 and 95.38, respectively. Paired t-test showed a significant increase in the mean of the research variables after intervention (p <0.05).

Considering the efficacy of emotional regulation training intervention, it is recommended to design and implement such interventions for patients with MS. To this end, it will provide a circumstance for improving their sexual function and satisfaction and also their quality of life.

Chronic kidney failure causes many limitations for patients. Despite the effectiveness of hemodialysis, this method causes mental problems and frustration in patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the mental health and hope status of dialysis patients referred to teaching hospitals of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences in 2017.

This is a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted at Nour and Hazrat Ali Asghar, al-Zahra, Amin, and Farabi hospitals. One hundred thirty-five dialysis patients were selected based on inclusion criteria. Demographic, mental health (SCL 90-R), and Snyder Hope Scale (SHS) questionnaires were used. Data analysis was performed using SPSS-v22 software.

The mean of mental health was 162.35, and the mean of hopefulness was 39.04. Based on the results of one-way ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc test, the mental health status of patients who undergo dialysis 1 times a week and those who had less history of dialysis were significantly better than others (P < 0.05). Also, the mean hope of single patients was significantly higher than other patients (P < 0.05).

The findings of the study indicate an unacceptable level of mental health and hope among hemodialysis patients. The importance of these components in terms of quality of life and the degree of compliance of patients with the therapeutic orders makes it necessary to design and implement effective interventions in this regard.

 Having positive attitude, awareness and interest in students toward their field of study can create a sense of adjustment between their career future and their needs and expectations. This study aimed to establish and compare the degree of awareness, attitude and interest amongst dentistry and pharmacy students of Tehran Medical universities toward their field of study in university.

 This descriptive- correlation study was conducted on 314 basic sciences and graduated students of dentistry and pharmacy of Tehran Medical, Shahid Beheshti and Azad universities of Tehran with the use of quota sampling. Data collection instruments were self-made questionnaire, demographic information, student's awareness, attitude and interest.

 in this study, there was direct relationship between awareness and interest in the field of dentistry in Islamic Azad and Shahid Beheshti universities with the correlation of 0.14, 0.02, and 0.25 respectively and in the field of pharmacy, it was also a direct relationship with the correlation of 0.18, 0.07,and 0.4 respectively. Degree of awareness in graduated students of Islamic Azad universities and Shahid Beheshti was significantly more than basic science and degree of attitude in all three universities was significantly more than that of the graduation time (p>0.05). Degree of interest in both grades, according to the university, didn't have a significant difference.

  based on the direct and significant relationship between awareness and interest on learning, paying attention to this issue should be a priority for medical training centers planning.
