Examining the level of satisfaction of service recipients from any educational system can reveal the strengths and weaknesses and improve each system. The objective of this study was to investigate the satisfaction of dental students at Islamic Azad University of Medical Sciences, Tehran branch, with the clinical departments in the academic year 1401-1402.

A total of 150 fifth- and sixth-year dental students participated in this descriptive cross-sectional study. They were given a 16-question satisfaction questionnaire to assess their satisfaction with 10 clinical departments. The questionnaire focused on professors, nurses, facilities and equipment, and the students' self-confidence in their learning. The average satisfaction level of students with each department was measured. One-way ANOVA was used to compare satisfaction levels between different departments, while multiple linear regression was used to evaluate the relationship between satisfaction and factors like age, gender, academic semester, and overall grade point average.

The highest average satisfaction level was found in the oral&maxillofacial diseases department, while the removable prosthesis department had the lowest satisfaction level. However, there was no significant difference in satisfaction levels between different departments (p=0.6). Additionally, there was no significant difference in satisfaction levels across the four investigated areas. None of the investigated variables showed a significant relationship with satisfaction

Overall, the satisfaction level with the clinical departments of the Faculty of Dentistry was average. There were no significant differences in satisfaction levels between different departments or in the four investigated areas.

 Bleeding is a serious complication of cesarean sections that can lead to decreased hemoglobin levels and increased maternal and neonatal mortality. This study aimed to compare the effects of tranexamic acid and position changes on the amount of bleeding and the satisfaction of the surgical team.

This study is a randomized, controlled, parallel clinical trial. The amount of bleeding, hemodynamic parameters, demographic data, clinical parameters, and surgical team satisfaction were measured using validated instruments. The study population consisted of patients aged 18 to 40 years who were candidates for cesarean sections under general anesthesia at Shohada Kargar Hospital in Yazd. The samples were randomly assigned to three groups each containing 33 participants: tranexamic acid, position change, and control. Data were analyzed using SPSS V.22 software.

A total of 99 pregnant women with a mean age of 31.20±5.82 years were included in the study. No significant differences were found in changes in hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelets, blood pressure, or oxygen saturation between the groups (P>0.05). The mean total bleeding in the tranexamic acid and position change groups was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). Additionally, satisfaction rates in the tranexamic acid and position change groups were higher than in the control group (P<0.001), but no significant difference was observed between the tranexamic acid and position change groups (P=0.472).

The results indicated that tranexamic acid and position changes significantly reduced bleeding and increased surgical team satisfaction, without negatively affecting postoperative complications. Therefore, the use of tranexamic acid and position changes can be recommended as effective strategies for reducing bleeding and enhancing surgical team satisfaction during cesarean section procedures.

 Anxiety in burn patients can prolong recovery. The presence of a family companion may help reduce patient anxiety and increase family satisfaction. This study aimed to determine the effect of family presence on patient anxiety and family satisfaction in burn intensive care units (ICUs) at Imam Khomeini Hospital in Ardabil, Iran, in 2023.

This randomized clinical trial included 57 eligible patients and their families admitted to the burn ICU. Participants were divided into an intervention group (n=30), where a companion was allowed to stay at the bedside for 90 minutes daily for six consecutive days, and a control group (n=27), where companions could only visit via video call. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, the Visual Analog Scale for Anxiety (VAS-A), and the Family Satisfaction in the ICU questionnaire. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS-24, paired and independent t-tests, and descriptive statistics.

Before the intervention, the two groups showed no significant differences in demographic characteristics, anxiety levels, or family satisfaction. After the intervention, the mean anxiety score in the intervention group significantly decreased from 8.42±1.90 to 2.73±1.36 (p<0.001), while no significant change was observed in the control group (9.19±1.00 to 8.78±1.28, p=0.054). Family satisfaction in the intervention group significantly increased from 61.10±13.98 to 103.93±8.79 (p<0.001), whereas the control group showed only a slight increase (63.40±13.87 to 68.37±12.60). Post-intervention comparisons between the two groups revealed significant differences in both anxiety (p<0.001) and family satisfaction (p<0.001).

Structured family presence significantly reduces anxiety in burn patients and enhances family satisfaction. Therefore, incorporating family visitation programs into burn care protocols is recommended to improve emotional support and overall patient outcomes.

Coronary angiography is a common test for diagnosing and treating coronary artery disease. Despite its benefits, due to its invasive nature, it can cause psychological complications such as anxiety. On the other hand, patient satisfaction is one of the important aspects of care. Providing accurate information and educating the patient can reduce anxiety and increase patient satisfaction. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of three educational methods—face-to-face, video, and booklet—on anxiety and satisfaction among cardiac patients hospitalized for coronary angiography at Seyed Al-Shohada Hospital in Yazd in 2023.

This research is a quasi-experimental study. The study population consisted of patients with coronary artery disease hospitalized for angiography at Seyed Al-Shohada Hospital in Yazd. A total of 90 patients were initially selected using convenience sampling and then randomly assigned to three groups: face-to-face, booklet, and video. Data were collected using a demographic information form, the State Anxiety Inventory (S-AI), and the Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire Short Form (PSQ-18). The educational content included information on the procedure stages, safety, possible complications, and expected outcomes. It was delivered to the first group through face-to-face education, the second group through a video, and the third group through a booklet. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics via SPSS-21 software.

The mean satisfaction score after the intervention in the face-to-face, video, and booklet groups was 3.42 ± 0.54, 3.94 ± 0.55, and 3.18 ± 0.54, respectively. There was a statistically significant difference between the three groups, with the mean satisfaction score in the video group being significantly higher than the other two groups. The mean anxiety score after the intervention in the face-to-face, video, and booklet groups was 39.66 ± 7.50, 38.43 ± 8.75, and 43.23 ± 6.32, respectively. The results showed that all three training methods significantly reduced the mean anxiety (P < 0.05). However, in the between-group comparison, there was a statistically significant difference between the video group and the booklet group (P < 0.05), but this difference was not significant between the video and face-to-face groups or between the booklet and face-to-face groups (P > 0.05).

The results showed that all three educational methods were effective in reducing patient anxiety, but video-based education was more effective in reducing anxiety and increasing satisfaction than the other two methods. Therefore, it is recommended that educational videos be prepared and made available to patients for better use, considering the general and specific educational needs of patients undergoing coronary angiography.

Gastrointestinal diseases are one of the common disorders and endoscopy is the most important diagnostic method for these disorders. One of the common psychological disorders during the endoscopic procedure is anxiety. There are different ways to solve psychological problems. Nursing counseling is one of the approaches used in anxiety control, which can be done face-to-face or remotely. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of remote nursing program design and implementation on anxiety and satisfaction with the care of selected endoscopy patients.

This study was conducted as an action research, which includes two parts of remote nursing website design and its implementation as a semi-experimental study. 60 selected endoscopy patients were included in the study. They were assigned to two groups of 30 people, control and intervention, by gradual allocation in the form of simple randomization and using a table of random numbers. In the intervention group, nursing consultation was designed remotely on the web by providing a link to selected endoscopy patients, including training and care before and after endoscopy. In the control group, nursing care of the patient and his education was done by the nurse and placing pamphlets at the patient's disposal. In this pamphlet, all care before and after endoscopy was explained to the patient. The data were collected using the demographic information questionnaire, the Spielberger anxiety questionnaire, and the patient satisfaction questionnaire on the quality of nursing care developed by the researcher. The results of the research were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods and using chi-square, independent t-test, and paired t-tests in spss software version 20.

The findings of the study showed that the two groups were similar in terms of individual characteristics. After the intervention, the average total score of anxiety in the remote nursing education group was significantly lower than the control group (P<0.001), and the average score of patient satisfaction with the quality of nursing care after the intervention was different between the intervention and control groups. It was statistically significant (P<0.001).
Discussion &

The results showed that remote nursing consultation is effective in reducing anxiety and increasing the satisfaction of selected endoscopy patients. According to it, it is suggested to nursing managers to use this method for diagnostic tests that have a high number of referrals.

Management in nursing is critical, and the effort to improve this course has a vital role in nursing. Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the degree of satisfaction of nursing students with the management internship unit.

The current study is a cross-sectional study conducted in 1401. The research samples included all undergraduate nursing students of the Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences who used the total number method. The inclusion criteria included being an undergraduate nursing student, having a nursing management theory unit, and being willing to participate in research.The exclusion criteria included guest and transfer students in the final year of study and incomplete questionnaire completion. The data was collected using demographic and management internship satisfaction questionnaires. Data were analyzed using Spss-16 software and descriptive statistical tests.

In this study, 105 undergraduate nursing students in the eighth semester completed the questionnaire. Among the students, 55 (52.38 %) were male and 50 (47.62%) were female. The study results showed that most participants (76.32 %) were dissatisfied with the current method of conducting nursing management unit internships in the hospital.

The results of the present study showed that the student's satisfaction with the current method of conducting nursing management internship is shallow, so it is suggested that new approaches to clinical education to improve students' satisfaction with the management internship. Nursing should be done.

Basic medical sciences course is one of the important courses in medical education that motivating and improving the educational process can be effective in promoting students' education. The aim of the present study was to evaluate and compare face-to-face education with e-learning on the score average of different lessens of medical students of Qom University of Medical Sciences and their level of satisfaction. In this study, 360 medical students participated which 180 students received face-to-face training and 180 students underwent virtual or e-learning. Then, the average final scores in 17 basic science lessons of students were compared in face-to-face and virtual groups. Also, a questionnaire was prepared whose validity was obtained by teachers and its reliability was obtained using Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.92. In the questionnaire, questions about students' learning and satisfaction were asked. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software and independent t-test. The mean score of the final exam in some lessons in the group undergoing virtual education was significantly higher than the average of the control group (P ≤ 0.05). In the questionnaire review, most of the students were satisfied with the volume of presented lessons and holding virtual exams but 78% of students were opposed to the full replacement of virtual education with face-to-face education. In general, virtual education cannot be a complete alternative to face-to-face education, but with the provision of a suitable platform, virtual education is offered as a complement to face-to-face education.

Assessing the satisfaction levels of family members caring for patients in intensive care units (ICUs) is crucial for evaluating the overall quality of patient care. This study aimed to measure the satisfaction of patient companions in ICU settings at Ahvaz teaching hospitals during the second half of 2023.

This was a cross-sectional study including 385 family members of patients admitted to ICU.

The mean score of satisfaction was 73.53 ± 18.92. While factors such as gender, education, and age did not significantly impact satisfaction, companions living with the patient (p=0.003) and those whose patients had longer hospital stays (p<0.001) reported higher satisfaction levels.

Patient companions reported the highest satisfaction with their involvement in patient care but expressed the lowest satisfaction with their participation in decision-making processes. This suggests that family members may not be adequately involved in patient care decisions. Improving the satisfaction of patient family members in intensive care units is crucial, as it directly correlates with overall patient satisfaction and can significantly enhance the quality of care provided. Therefore, developing strategies to address this issue is essential.

In rhinoplasty surgery, many factors are effective in obtaining the desired result. Among these factors, we can mention the accuracy and observation of the surgeon, the analysis of the existing anatomy, the choice of surgical technique, the degree of soft tissue and cartilage trauma, the amount of bleeding, the quality of surgical instruments and anesthesia, and everything that is effective in reducing bleeding. Therefore, this study conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of intravenous dexmedetomidine on the amount of bleeding, surgeon satisfaction and hemodynamic stability in patients undergoing septorhinoplasty surgery.

Patients were randomly divided into two groups (control = placebo) and intervention (dexmedetomidine). Vital signs, sedation, level of pain, bleeding and satisfaction of the surgeon were evaluated. Data analysis was done by descriptive statistics and inferential statistical tests using spss version 20 software. A significance level of P<0.05% was considered.

This study investigated the effect of intravenous dexmedetomidine on the amount of bleeding, surgeon satisfaction and hemodynamic stability in patients undergoing septorhinoplasty surgery, so that by examining the results of this study and determining the effect of dexmedetomidine, this drug can be used to prevent hemodynamic changes and reduce the incidence of Possible side effects during operation in septorhinoplasty surgery.

Introduction Assessing the satisfaction level with education can serve as a valuable indicator for enhancing student performance. This study aimed to investigate the satisfaction level of basic medical science students with the integrated education offered in the anatomy block courses at the Army University of Medical Sciences in 1400.
This descriptive study was conducted on medical students majoring in basic science in the year 1400. Sampling was conducted using the head count method.. After obtaining informed consent from the participants, we used a personal information collection form, an education experience questionnaire (CEQ), and a questionnaire to assess students' opinions and satisfaction levels with electronic education to collect data. Finally, the data was analyzed using SPSS 25 software, and a significance level of less than 0.05 was considered.
Most of the students involved in this study were between 20 and 22 years old. The mean score of the students in the CEQ questionnaire was reported as 355.5 ± 1382.5, and 58% of the study participants were categorized as average in this CEQ questionnaire. 48.9% of students were highly satisfied with the electronic education provided.
The combined education offered to the students of the basic sciences at the Army University of Medical Sciences has been satisfactory. Expanding and developing the use of combined education in the teaching of theoretical courses and clinical skills of students can be placed on the agenda of the vice-chancellor of the university and the academic performance of students can be improved.

Cancer is considered one of the foremost important well-being issues in the world, which undermines well-being. This study was conducted to examine the association between resilience and marital compatibility in women with breast cancer.

This study was a cross-sectional study that was conducted in 2023 on 167 women patients with breast cancer in Qom City, Iran. Sampling was done as convenience sampling among married women with breast cancer and completing the informed consent form. The research tools were Graham Spinner's Marital Adjustment Questionnaire and Connor-Davidson's Resilience Questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using SPSS.v23 and descriptive and analytical tests. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to determine the correlation and linear regression analysis was used to ascertain the coefficients and predictability of the variables. A significance level of 0.05 was considered.

The Mean age (±SD) was 51.20 ± 8.81 years. The outcome indicated that there is a positive and statistically significant correlation between resilience and marital compatibility. Also, there is a positive and significant correlation between resilience and income level (r=0.24, p<0.02). The findings of hierarchical regression to evaluate the prediction of marital adjustment showed that the highest predictive value was the structure of resilience (p<0.01, b=0.61, CI: 0.36-0.53) and belongs to the highest predictor value. P < 0.01, b = 0.28, CI: 1.3–34.27).

According to the findings of this research, it seems that paying attention to resilience, satisfaction, and marital compatibility in women with cancer is considered a necessity for mental and sexual health.

In this study, the effect of conventional in-person education and in-person education based on videos and posters on the level of knowledge and satisfaction of students was compared in the course of clinical applications of laser in dentistry.

In this comparative applied study, 66 dental students were divided into two groups to take the course on clinical applications of lasers. The first group underwent conventional in-person education, and the second group underwent in-person education based on learning aids. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire that the students completed after completing the course and included 15 questions in two fields, including knowledge level (9 questions) and satisfaction level (6 questions). The data were analyzed with SPSS software (version 24).  Independent sample T-test and chi-square test were used for statistical analysis. Significance level was set at 0.05. 

The mean and standard deviation of the knowledge and satisfaction scores of the students who completed the course through conventional in-person education were 24.06 ± 6.8 (out of 36 scores) and 17.09 ± 5.15 (out of 24 scores), respectively. The mean and standard deviation of the knowledge and satisfaction scores of the students who had taken the in-person education based on learning aids were 24.56 ± 7.05 and 17.73 ± 5.1, respectively. Statistical analysis did not show a significant difference between the two study methods (P<0.05).

Teaching the course of the clinical applications of lasers was not significantly different between in-person education based on learning aids and conventional in-person education concerning the students' level of knowledge and satisfaction.

Following the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), virtual education became more popular. This study aims to determine the satisfaction level of medical students in Iran with virtual education during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This is a descriptive-analytical study that was conducted in 2020. The study population consists of all students of medical universities in ten cities of Iran, of whom 1300 were included in the study. To collect data, a researcher-made questionnaire was used with acceptable validity and reliability (Cronbach’s α=0.76). After completing the questionnaires, the data were analyzed in SPSS software, version 22.

The highest level of students’ satisfaction was in two domains of “the method of presenting lessons to students” and “the fulfillment of students’ expectations”, followed by the domains of teacher-student interaction, interest/attitude, and reliability/trustworthiness of the technology. There was a significant correlation among these domains of the satisfaction scale (P<0001).

The satisfaction of medical students in Iran with virtual education during the COVID-19 pandemic is at a favorable level. Therefore, it is recommended to use this education method during the pandemic.

Background and Objectives The COVID-19 pandemic, with its impact on the educational systems, led to the closure of face-to-face courses and the transition of universities to virtual education. This study was conducted to examine the strengths and weaknesses of virtual education based on measuring the satisfaction of medical externs and the quality of clinical education during the COVID-19 epidemic at the Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences, Shahrekord, Iran. Subjects and Methods This cross-sectional descriptive-correlation study was conducted on all 160 medical interns by census. The required data were collected using a three-part questionnaire consisting of demographic variables, the quality of clinical education, and the e-learning acceptance scale. Data analysis was done in SPSS software version 22. Results The results of the present study showed that the mean score of students' satisfaction with virtual education was 41.67±15.33. It was found that the lowest level of student satisfaction was related to the area of interaction and feedback between students and instructors and the lowest quality from the students' perspective was related to monitoring and evaluation. Moreover, there was a positive and significant correlation between satisfaction with virtual education and parents' job, place of residence, and economic status of students as well as between the quality of clinical education and students' satisfaction with virtual education. Conclusion According to the present study, the level of students' satisfaction with virtual education and clinical quality was not at the desired level. Considering the importance of virtual education in various aspects in the current era, it is highly important to recognize the strengths and weaknesses of this type of education and its related challenges and resolve them.

Tests are one of the methods used in universities to measure and evaluate students' learning. Electronic and traditional tests have their unique strengths and weaknesses. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to compare two methods of holding electronic and conventional tests from the perspective of students in the Ferdows Health and Para Medical School.

The current research was carried out in a cross-sectional-analytical way. 201 students were questioned for this research. In order to collect information, a researcher-made questionnaire was used. Its reliability is approved by experts and validity is measured by Kronbakh Alpha74%. Data were analyzed using STATA version 13 software and using descriptive and analytical methods.

The results showed that there was a significant difference between students' satisfaction with traditional and electronic tests (P < 0.05). And traditional tests satisfaction was more than electronic ones. Also, there was a significant relationship between students' satisfaction level and the academic semester in traditional exams (P < 0.05) so the average level of satisfaction of students in higher semesters is higher.

Based on the study findings, students' satisfaction with the traditional test is more than the electronic test, so it is suggested that educational institutions take the necessary measures and plans in order to obtain satisfaction from students with the electronic tests and solve the problems of these tests.

Some depressed patients suffer from a lack of dignity. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Islamic dignity therapy on the life satisfaction of patients with diseases.

This research is a semi-experimental study in which a pre-test-post-test design with a control group was used. The population of this research is all people with initial symptoms of depression in Mashhad. 14 people with depression were selected as a voluntary sampling and were randomly divided into two control and experimental groups. The experimental group received the Islamic spiritual dignity therapy program during six sessions, while the control group did not undergo any intervention. To collect data, Diener's Life Satisfaction Questionnaire, five-question version, and Beck's 21-choice depression test were used, along with the full satisfaction and awareness of the group members, and the repeated measures method (ANCOVA) was used to analyze the findings.

The results of this research which was done in the year 2022, show that Islamic dignity therapy can significantly increase the life satisfaction component and decrease the depression components of people suffering from depression at a p level of less than five percent.

From these findings, it can be concluded that Islamic spiritual dignity therapy can be a suitable method to improve depression and increase life satisfaction of these people. Islamic dignity therapy can be used as an intervention with patients with lack sense of dignity.

More than half of the professionalization process of nursing students occurs in the clinic. Attention to clinical competence and satisfaction of education in nursing students is essential to solve clinical education problems.

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the training based on “Kolb’s learning cycle” on satisfaction of education and clinical competence of nursing students.

The present study is a quasi-experimental study that was performed in 2020-2021 on 50 Aja nursing students in selected military hospitals in Tehran. Data were collected using demographic data form, valid and reliable clinical competency and satisfaction of education questionnaires. In both intervention and control groups, the education satisfaction questionnaire were completed at the beginning and end of the internship course by students, whereas they completed the clinical competency questionnaire only at the end of the course. The students of the intervention group, were trained by the Kolb’s learning cycle method and the students of the control group were trained for 4 weeks and 5 days according to the usual routine. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 20.

Before the intervention, there was no significant difference between two groups in the mean scores of satisfactions of education (P>0.05). After the intervention, the mean scores of satisfactions of education in both intervention and control groups were respectively 72.24±10.05 and 51.64±7.93 which was statistically considered significant (P<0.001). Regarding clinical competence, the mean in the intervention and control groups was respectively 204.52±12.14 and 185.08±9.30 which was statistically significant (P<0.001). In general, the mean scores obtained in the intervention group were higher than the control group.

Results showed, the education based on “Kolb learning cycle” leads to significant improvement in satisfaction of nursing students’ of education and clinical competency in internal-surgery internship unit. Therefore, it is suggested that nursing educators, use this educational method in clinical education.

Schools and universities in China were closed to prevent further spread of the virus as the coronavirus began to spread. And virtual education replaced face-to-face education. The use of virtual education alone faced challenges that affected its attitude, satisfaction and effectiveness. Therefore, this research was conducted with the aim of investigating the attitude, satisfaction, effectiveness and challenges of virtual education from the perspective of nursing and midwifery students of North Khorasan University of Medical Sciences during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Methods & Materials:

This cross-sectional research was conducted with the participation of 177 nursing and midwifery students of North Khorasan University of Medical Sciences. The tools used included: demographic information questionnaires, measuring attitude, satisfaction and effectiveness of virtual education. Data were analyzed with spss software version 19, Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney statistical tests at a significance level of 0.05.

In this research, there were 126 female participants (73.3%) with an average age of 27.22±2.6. The average score of attitude, satisfaction, effectiveness and challenges of virtual education from the students' point of view were respectively, 11.84 ± 3.34; 13.59 ± 5.21; 16.94 ± 5.75 and 25.37 ± 5.81. A statistically significant relationship was found between the average score of attitude with satisfaction, effectiveness, and also the average score of satisfaction with the effectiveness of virtual education. (p<0.05)

The use of virtual education, as a new educational method, has faced many challenges; Considering the low level of its effectiveness, it is possible to improve the attitude, satisfaction and effectiveness of virtual education by strengthening the infrastructure.
