There has been a remarkable rise in medical research in Iran during the last 40 years, improving the global ranking of the country in the production of research documents from 54th to 16th in 2022. The aim of this review was to summarize medical research activities in Iran during the last 40 years and present predictions on the outlook of this field in coming years.

Related articles were retrieved from the Iran Doc Engine, and selected sections of three editions of the book “Health in the Islamic Republic of Iran” were reviewed.

Between 1980 and 2000, there was a remarkable rise in the number of medical universities and related schools in Iran. The number of students, both undergraduate and postgraduate, as well as PhD courses and residency programs, considerably increased in the country, in parallel with the debut of numerous clinical subspecialty programs in various clinical fields. Research centers and institutes were developed in many universities. Between 2001 and 2020, there was an extraordinary increase in the number of annual publications in medical fields. Citations to Iranian research articles have also increased. For the next 20 years, innovations in research activities and productions are expected to resolve many problematic issues in Iran’s health sector. Activities such as nurturing young, talented, and distinguished researchers, supporting scholars, devising more appropriate tools for the evaluation of the output, impact, and effectiveness of scientific productions, increasing the share of research from Growth National Product (GNP), and enhancing targeted research programs will be needed to safeguard the emerging goals of research activities in the next two decades.

The desire to survive is inherent in any organization; in the private sector, profit, and in the public sector, people's satisfaction is the guarantee of survival. Taking into account the ever-increasing changes and developments, achieving this goal, requires the adoption of a suitable strategy such as the evolution of an organization that, along with patient-centeredness and service quality, encourages government employees to gain the satisfaction of citizens. The main goal of this research is to design organizational evolution in hospitals affiliated with Bushehr University of Medical Sciences.

. This research was carried out qualitatively using grounded theory. To collect data, semi-structured interviews were used and data analysis was done using Strauss and Corbin method and the paradigm model. Purposive sampling was carried out based on which14 interviews conducted with professors of the scientific board of universities and experts working in government hospitals.

The results of the data obtained from the interviews during the process of open, central ,and selective coding led to the creation of grounded theory in the field of organizational evolution in hospitals affiliated with Bushehr University of Medical Sciences. The model designed in this research included 43 sub-categories in the form of 6 main categories of causal, contextual, interventional, central phenomenon, consequences, and strategies.

This research can be a complete road map for hospital managers to move towards an evolutionary organization by providing causal, contextual, and intervening conditions, strategies, and consequences of the central phenomenon of organizational evolutionism. Furthermore, this research will help to better understand this phenomenon.

Mental health has been seriously considered by researchers as a public concern (1). Improving mental health indicators has been considered as one of the key indicators in the evaluations of countries (3). Improving the level of mental health causes societies to have proper development in the areas of behavior and attitude (6). In order to improve mental health, it is necessary to examine the factors affecting it. Although various studies have examined mental health and the factors affecting it, but this issue has not been studied in all organizations and environments. In other words, in order to improve mental health, this issue should be studied scientifically in all environments. The Technical and Vocational University, as an important and key university in developing skills and improving the practical capacities of the country, has a serious task in society. Improving mental health in a technical and vocational university can provide suitable conditions for the university to achieve its goals. Lack of knowledge of the factors affecting mental health in the technical and vocational university has caused that today, practical and executive processes regarding its improvement are not formed in this university. On the other hand, the lack of comprehensive research on the factors affecting the promotion of mental health in technical and vocational university centers has caused that today the necessary concerns for promoting mental health in technical and vocational university centers are not available. Therefore, the researcher seeks to answer the question, what are the factors affecting the promotion of mental health in technical and vocational university centers?

The present study was a mixed research and survey that was conducted in the field. To conduct this research, among scientific and executive experts in the field of educational management, higher education and higher education management by non-probabilistic sampling method, by purposeful selection and with maximum diversity or heterogeneity, 15 people were selected as sample. The interview was semi-structured and based on the results of the interview, a researcher-made questionnaire with 26 questions and 4 factors including managerial factors, job factors, social factors and individual factors were distributed and collected among them. Finally, descriptive statistics and structural equations were used to analyze the data.

The results showed that managerial, occupational, social and personal factors are the most important factors affecting the promotion of mental health in technical and vocational university centers. Also, the results of elongation and skewness showed that the data have an abnormal distribution. On the other hand, according to the level of t-relationships, it was found that all factors had a significant presence in the research model, among which individual factors are more effective than other factors in promoting mental health in technical and vocational university centers (Table 1). Another finding showed that considering that the optimal value of GOF index is higher than 0.36, it can be said that the value of this index is in a favorable condition in the existing factors (Table 2). Finally, it was found that the overall research model has a good fit (Table 3).

The results of the present study showed that in order to promote mental health in technical and vocational university centers, attention should be paid to managerial, occupational, personal and social factors. It seems that the functions of different fields in the formation of mental health and the impact of individual and non-individual aspects have caused in the present study to promote mental health in technical and vocational university centers, various factors including managerial, occupational, individual factors And be socially effective. This shows that focusing on individual aspects alone does not improve mental health. With this in mind, in order to improve mental health, serious attention should be paid to all managerial, occupational, personal and social aspects. The results showed that among the identified factors, individual factors had the most impact. It seems that individual issues such as proper nutrition, proper sleep, quality of work life, active lifestyle of individuals and the economic status of employees by influencing the mental states of employees can form the basis for mental health in them. In other words, individual factors provide the basis for the formation of positive mental states in people, which can play an important role in promoting mental health in technical and vocational university centers.

Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) is a pandemic highly pathogenic viral infection caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) appeared in Wuhan of China and then spread worldwide. The genome assessment of this virus revealed that SARS-CoV-2 has phylogenetically high similarity with SARS-like bat viruses. So, the bat can be considered as a primary reservoir of this virus. The intermediate and transfer source of this virus to human has not yet been recognized. In the present study, the origin and evolution of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in comparison with the two SARS-CoV and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) respiratory syndrome viruses, as well as the genetic and phylogenetic evidences regards SARS-COV-2 was discussed.

Evolution and innovation packages in medical science education are the main program of medical education and it is necessary to pay attention to the provision of infrastructure of their implementation. This study was conducted to identify effective strategies for optimal implementation of evolution and innovation packages in medical education.

The method used in this research is thematic analysis. In this study, all key informed individuals involved in the implementation of evolution and innovation packages in medical education were considered as the target population and the sampling was performed using bullet technique. Data were analyzed using Maxqda 10 software. Participatory review method and review of non-participating experts were used in order to obtain validity and reliability of data.

9 main categories, namely implementation measures of evolution packages, measures at the structural level, policy measures, environmental measures, managerial measures, motivational measures, measures related to capabilities and occupation, measures in the field of culture, and measures in the area of leadership were identified according to the results of the qualitative study.

Presenting effective strategies for the optimal implementation of evolution and innovation packages in universities can have positive consequences in the improvement of the quality of medical education. The most important issues for implementation include serious attention of the authorities to the implementation of the packages, the involvement of all university staff, and the management stability in the optimal implementation of the packages.

The education field is one of the infrastructural fields of the health system and in order to evolving this field training of the human resources should be evolved. The evolution and innovation document is a special opportunity for education practitioners and universities' authorities to take a step towards the promotion of medical education in the country. Proper and timely pathology is one of the measures which it leads managers to become aware of their organization's problems and to prevent them from becoming acute. This study was conducted to identify the current status of evolution and innovation packages in medical education in Iranian universities of medical sciences.

This qualitative study is in the form of thematic analysis. The statistical population was consisted of all experts, key informed individuals and those involved in the implementation of evolution and innovation packages of medical education, which 24 people were selected as participants of the study by purposive sampling using snowball technique. Data were analyzed using Maxqda 10 software. Participatory review method and non-participant experts review were used to obtain the validity and reliability of the data.

9 main categories, namely the damages of packages' implementation, structural damages, policy damages, environmental damages, managerial damages, motivational damages, damages of the accordance of capability and occupation, and cultural damages were identified according to the results of the qualitative study. Most of the injuries reported by participants were related to executive problems at the university, macro-area and motivational levels. The least reported injuries were related to managerial injuries.

Identification of problems and damages of implementing evolution and innovation packages at universities can have positive consequences for the improvement of the quality of medical education. Most of the mentioned codes were related to the problems of the way the packages were implemented in universities, indicating that the lack of knowledge of faculty members about the packages and lack of students' involvement in the implementation of packages will be important in the implementation of packages. Medical education policymakers and planners can identify the damages of evolution and innovation packages implementation to examine the existing defects and to provide effective executive strategies for optimal implementation of packages.
