The purpose of this study was to evaluate pre-conditions and barriers of establishment of professional medical education from perspective of faculty members of Qazvin University of Medical Sciences.   Methods: This phenomenological qualitative study was conducted in 1392 with participation of eighteen faculty members of Qazvin University of Medical Sciences (who were targeted among 130-faculty member). Participants in three focus groups explained their beliefs, perceptions and expectations about the training of professional in the form of questions such as "How do students learn professionalism?" and "What challenges do you face in training your professional obligations?" We used content analysis for data analysis process.   Results: The faculty members mention ed learning experience before entering the university, structured teaching in the school and learning professional role models as main factors affecting the learning of medical professional. Research participants believed that the teachers’ role modeling and feedback are most influential factor in professional learning, but trainees didn’t accept their teachers as role models. From the perspective of faculty, p professionalism is a multidimensional issue and has been a affected by economic, social and political factors. Also a hybrid approach was also proposed for training the professionalism with the major components of theoretical and clinical training.   Conclusion: The results show that the current formal programms of medical schools in the field of professional training is not enough and a focus on specific activities is proposed to improve teaching professionalism including an approach to role modeling. The approach could be provided with an intentional demonstration of professional behavior during the educational courses.   }, Keywords = {medical education, professional education, focus groups}, volume = {7}, Number = {2}, pages = {1-11}, publisher = {Guilan University of Medical Sciences}, doi = {10.18869/acadpub.rme.7.2.1}, url = {http://rme.gums.ac.ir/article-1-172-en.html}, eprint = {http://rme.gums.ac.ir/article-1-172-en.pdf}, journal = {Research in Medical Education}, issn = {2008-952X}, eissn = {2008-7284}, year = {2015} } @article{ author = {Majidi, S A and Mehrabian, F and Asgharnia, M and SafarMohammadi, H and Kazemnezhad, E}, title = {Effective Factors on Adaptation of Theoretical Education and Practical Nursing Care}, abstract ={  Introduction: Nurses for maximum effciency should acquire theoretical knowledge in the classroom and scientific capabilities through training and experience in clinical environments.This study has been done to determination effective factors on adaptation of theorical education and practical Nursing care from viewpoints of nurses.   Methods: This is a descriptive and cross-sectional study and the population was 200 nurses' staff in Rasht Educational and remedical hospitals in 2014.

This study has been performed to assess the validity and reliability of Attitudes to Health Professionals Questionnaire (AHPQ) for the first time in Iran.   Methods: In a cross - sectional study the validity and reliability of AHPQ was assessed. Firs Permission was obtained from the author. Then the instrument was translated into Persian and was sent to 10 medical education experts. The questionnaire was translated back from Persian into English by two translators and did not impair the original questionnaire. To evaluate the reliability, two methods of internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) and test – retest via intra-class correlation coefficient (Intra-class correlation coefficient = ICC) and Pearson’s correlation coefficient were used. To assess the quantity of content validity, the content validity rate (CVR) and content validity index (CVI) were determined.   Results : All of 20 items had CVR points higher than 0.62 based on Table of lawshe. Comparing CVI shows 17 items with an CVI of higher than 0.78 other 3 items with low CVI rechecked. Questions internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha =94.1%) revealed that all the questions are highly correlated. Test - retest reliability via correlation coefficient ICC was 96.6% and r = 0.875 at the level of p <.005 was significant.   Conclusion: The results showed that Persian version of the tool is valid and reliable and appropriate for assessing the skills of interprofessional attitude.   }, Keywords = {Questionnaire, Attitudes, Interdisciplinary Health Team, Reliability, Validity}, volume = {7}, Number = {2}, pages = {21-28}, publisher = {Guilan University of Medical Sciences}, doi = {10.18869/acadpub.rme.7.2.21}, url = {http://rme.gums.ac.ir/article-1-186-en.html}, eprint = {http://rme.gums.ac.ir/article-1-186-en.pdf}, journal = {Research in Medical Education}, issn = {2008-952X}, eissn = {2008-7284}, year = {2015} } @article{ author = {Chehrzad, M M and Ghanbari, A and Rahmatpour, P and Salehzade, A H and Pasban, M}, title = {Nurses\' Perceptions about Facilitators and Barriers of Implementation of Evidence-Based practice}, abstract ={  Introduction : Implementation of Evidence-Based practice (EBP) is a basic need for improving nursing skills.

Data collection scale was Funk Barriers Scale and facilitators of implementation of EBP were filled with self-report method. Data were analyzed with SPSS and using independent t-test and ANOVA.   Results: The first three important barriers were “The nurse does not have time to read research” (3.22 ± 0.9) “The facilities are inadequate for implementation” (3.11 ± 0.9) and “There is insufficient time on the job to implement new ideas” (3.05 ± 1) and most important facilitator was “collaboration between university centers and hospitals” (3.25 ± 0.8). Also there was a statistical significant difference between nurse’s position and facilitator score (P= 0.002) .   Conclusion : Implementation of EBP will succeed when the nurses work in clinical settings that EBP consider, as an important value there.

Knowledge translation is a process that leads knowledge to practice and makes data applicable. The present work was performed in 2014 to investigate the status of knowledge translation in Qazvin University of Medical Sciences from faculty's perspective.   Methods : This study is a descriptive research. The studied population included the whole faculty of Qazvin University of Medical Sciences who were selected by census. The research tool was the knowledge translation questionnaire prepared by the Knowledge Translation Committee of Tehran University of Medical Sciences which its validity and reliability were confirmed again for this research. After demographic questions, the questionnaire was set in three parts including: "identifying needs of audiences and conversing these needs into research projects" (11 questions), "producing useful evidences for decision making" (9 questions), and "using results of researches by final users" (22 questions). To compare full score abtained from knowledge translation with demographic variable, t statistical analysis and multiple analysis of variance were used.   Results : The results showed that the average score for the part of identifying needs of audiences and converting it into research projects was 2.46, the average score for the part of producing useful evidences for decision making was 2.86, the average score for the part of using results of researches by final users was 2.34, and finally the average total score was 2.47.   conclusion : The results of the study indicated that the status of knowledge translation in Qazvin University of Medical Sciences from viewpoint of its faculty members is far from the desirable status.
