This study was accomplished with the aim of determination of the effectiveness of endotracheal intubation education with video laryngoscope on anaesthesiology students’ skill in Arak University of Medical Sciences.   Method: This is a randomized controlled educational trial. The study population inculding all anaesthesiology students in which randomly assigned into two groups. In control group routine education and in intervention group education with video laryngoscope was done. The data collection tool was a check list which was filled by an instructor in before and after the education. All data were analysed by using SPSS software Version 17.   Results: The mean scores of students’ practice in intervention group was 10.21 ± 1.58 before education and increased up to 15± 2.28 after education and this difference was significant (P= 0.001). The mean scores of students’ practice in control group was 10.1 ± 1 before education and increased up to 13.2± 1.44 after education and this difference was significant (P= 0.001) too. After education in education group, 17 students had successful intubations and 2 students were not success. The number of successful intubations in before and after education in intervention group were significant (P= 0.001). After education in control group, 9 students had successful intubation and 10 students were not success. The number of successful intubations in before and after education in control group were significant (P= 0.001).   Conclusion: Both traditional & video laryngoscope education of intubation have increased the students’ practice scores after education, but the mean scores of new education style was greater than traditional one. For being success in intubation, the score of 15 was essential. The successful students in intubation in educational group were two times of control group. So, applying video laryngoscope in endotracheal intubation education in all educational & medical centers of country is recommended.   }, Keywords = {Education, intubation, video laryngoscope, anesthesiology student}, volume = {2}, Number = {2}, pages = {1-9}, publisher = {Guilan University of Medical Sciences}, url = {http://rme.gums.ac.ir/article-1-56-en.html}, eprint = {http://rme.gums.ac.ir/article-1-56-en.pdf}, journal = {Research in Medical Education}, issn = {2008-952X}, eissn = {2008-7284}, year = {2010} } @article{ author = {Asgari, F and MahjoobMoadab, H}, title = {Comparison of Stressful Factors in Nursing and Midwifery Students of Islamic Azad University Astara Unit}, abstract ={  Introduction: Nursing and Midwifery Education is a complex process that was affected by many factors and variables.

So some teacher- made tests have different problems. The aim of this study was to evaluate quantitative and qualitative aspects of MCQ in nursing school in North of Iran in 2009.   Methods: In this descriptive study, 523 multiple choice questions of community health, pediatric psycology nursing groups including 12 courses at second academic semester of 2009 were studied.   The structure of questions were assessed by Millman checklist. Bloom taxonomy of the questions considered as well. Difficulty, discrimination, and other quantitative indicators were evaluated by software too.   Results: From 523 questions, 94.3% had a good structure. Most structural problems related to linear order of items (57.4%), lack of major information in question stem (32.7%), repeated words in the items (32.1%) and lack of coordination among items respect to length and vocabulary stracuture (29.8 %). 96.4% of questions were from "knowledge and understanding" taxonomy. 79.8% of questions were about learning abligation. The average score of test difficulty was from 0.49 to 0.8. Generally, 21.1% of questions were appropriate, 43.7% were very easy questions and 14.5% were too hard. Almost all of the tests had low discrimination power from 0.14 to 0.32. Only two courses had optimum discrimination power.   Conclusion: Although the structure of multiple choice tests were relatively good, but the distribution of Taxonomy, difficulty and discrimination power of the tests should be corrected organizing educational workshops for faculty members also evaluating their activities by Educational Development Center of the Universities can be effective.   }, Keywords = {academic achivement multiple choice test, Taxonomy, qualitative and quantitative analysis Milllman principles}, volume = {2}, Number = {2}, pages = {24-32}, publisher = {Guilan University of Medical Sciences}, url = {http://rme.gums.ac.ir/article-1-59-en.html}, eprint = {http://rme.gums.ac.ir/article-1-59-en.pdf}, journal = {Research in Medical Education}, issn = {2008-952X}, eissn = {2008-7284}, year = {2010} } @article{ author = {Taherpour, M and Sefidi, F and Javadi, A}, title = {Identifying Job Motivation from Qazvin University of Medical Sciences Faculty Members\' Viewpoints}, abstract ={  Introduction: identifying effective factors in creating job motivation is necessitate to promote productivity and job satisfaction of faculty members.
