Mental load is an important and influencing factor which can affect behavior and performance of nurses in the work environment, so evaluating and solving its related problems improves the quality of nursing care. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of mental workload index with demographic factors and clinical characteristics in nurses working in educational hospitals of Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences in 2016.

This descriptive-analytical study included 125 nurses working in the educational hospitals of Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences in 2016 by using a stratified random sampling method. Data were collected by using a demographic form (5 questions), a clinical profile form (6 questions) and a standard mental workload index questionnaire (6 questions). Using SPSS 23 software, data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential tests.

The mean mental workload was 73.94±35.35. The effort evaluation score was the highest (84.50±16.20) and the physical demand score was the lowest (51.44±28.36) score. Age, marital status, work shift, work department, rest after shift, number of shifts and physical health status showed a significant relationship with the mental work load (P<0.05), but there was no significant relationship between educational degree and mental work load (P=0.08).

The results of the study showed that the mental burden of work among nurses is high and this issue is related to the demographic factors and clinical characteristics of the nurses. Therefore, while paying attention to the factors related to this index, taking measures to reduce the mental burden of work and its consequences seems necessary in order to improve the quality of nursing care.

Entrepreneurship and enhancing entrepreneurial activities can be considered as an appropriate stimulus for the growth and development of communities and also for increasing the income and finally for improving people lives. The present study was done to evaluate the entrepreneurship spirit of students in Kurdistan and Kermanshah Universities of Medical Sciences, 2015-2016.
Material and This was a cross-sectional study. The populations of the study were Kurdistan and Kermanshah Universities of Medical Sciences, the students, of which were 500 who selected by classified random sampling using a proportional allocation. A questionnaire including 45 items was used to collect data on entrepreneurial spirit. In order to describe and analyze the collected data the descriptive statistics including frequency, mean, standard deviation and Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis was used.
The mean score of entrepreneurship among studied students was equal to 29.69±5.07. The scores in Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences students and Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences students were 29.89±5.13 and 29.52±5.03 respectively. The Entrepreneurial spirit between the two universities, did not show statistically a significant difference (P=0.98).
The results of the present study showed that students of both universities in most areas of the entrepreneurial spirit had high entrepreneurial spirit (above average). This can be a favorable ground for implementing programs related to the development and entrepreneurship training.

This study was cross-sectional. The studied population was students of Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences that 700 persons of them were selected and studied. A two-part questionnaire including demographics characteristics and 19 questions about inter professional education was used. The data were analyzed by using SPSS 20.
FINDINGS: The mean overall score of the student's viewpoint was 70.84±9.94.

There was a difference between the viewpoint of undergraduate and graduate students and this difference was statistically significant (p=0.03).
The results of the present study revealed that inter- professional education is very important and demographic characteristics have little involvement.

Scientific collaboration is the process during which two or more authors share their ideas, resources, and data to create a joint scientific work. Co-authorship is an element in scientific collaboration. The aim of this study was to determine scientific collaboration in published articles by the Kurdistan University of Medical Science, indexed in Scopus from 2010 to 2014. This scientometrics study was conducted using the Scopus database. 425 published articles of Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences were assessed from 2010 to 2014. The number of authors, the mean number of authors, the frequency distribution of authors, index of national and international collaboration, and collaboration coefficient among the authors were analyzed in the study. Descriptive statistics were used to calculate the number of articles, authors, author’s ratio to the articles and the number of internal and external co-authors. And its formula was used to calculate the level of collaboration. Findings showed that 2219 authors participated in publishing 425 papers, 64 of whom (2.88%) were international authors. Collaboration index, degree of collaboration and collaboration confidence were calculated 5.22, 0.99 and 74.0 respectively. Three-authored articles and 15-authored articles had the most and the least frequencies, respectively. Scientific productions of Kurdistan university of medical science in Scopus from 2010 to 2014 are on the rise. However, the status of international collaboration is low (9%). Authors’ participation in national and international conferences should be supported to improve international collaborations.

One of the most important indicators in scientific output in the world is the number of articles indexed in international and reliable indices. Many scientific institutions perform statistical analysis on countries, institutions and individuals. An Institution of Scientific Information (ISI) indexes the scientific information of most of international scientific journals. Using information on Web of Science we can evaluate scientific output of countries, universities and individuals and compare them with one another. The aim of this study was to assess the status of scientific output of Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences according to scientometric indicators until the end of 2011and compare it with those of other universities within the same rank, in Iran. By use of basic search in Web of Science and choosing SCIـEXPANDED index from 1993 to 2011 different affiliated addresses indexed in WOS for Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences combined by using OR operator, then data were collected and analyzed. Total number of records indexed in WOS till the end of 2011 was 157. Maximum and minimum number of records were 111 (71. 5%) for original articles and 1 (0. 5%) for letter respectively. Maximum number of scientific output belonged to public, environmental and occupational health with 35 (22. 87%), tropical medicine with 24 (15. 68%), general and internal medicine with 21 (13. 75%), pharmacology with 12 (7. 19%), and multidisciplinary chemistry with 10 (6. 53%) records. Each of the other subjects had less than 10 records. Canada had maximum international collaboration with 7 records and Egypt, Philippines, Thailand, each with one record had minimum international collaboration. Maximum national collaboration was related to Tehran University of Medical Sciences with 29 records and Tarbeyat Modaress University with 13 records. 157 records of Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences had been published in 89 journals, among them 23 journals, published maximum number of articles (54%). Only 5 journals were Iranian. Total number of citations was 300 and a median citation per article was 1/91. Average article for every academic member was 1/01. Scientific output of Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences has been on the rise. Increase in citations is indicative of improvement of the quality of the articles in this university.
