The members of the sample were organized through random sampling from students in different years of university. The amount of the sample for the present research¡ based on Cochran formula¡ was 212 among which 181 completed the questionnaire. In order to collect the data required from mental health questionnaires¡ perfectionism questionnaire and negligence questionnaire were used. To analyze the data the statistical methods of multiple regression and Pearson Correlation Coefficient was employed.
The results indicated that there is a significant relationship between the subscales of Negligence including Readiness for exam¡ readiness for paper and readiness to deal with a focus and the subscales of perfectionism including focus on errors; discipline and organization¡ understanding force form the parents¡ goal-orientedness and rumination and students’ mental health.

Lecture¡ as the dominant method¡ in all of the Iran education system is one of the oldest methods. This education method is one of the most used methods in teaching and learning especially in higher education.

This cross-sectional study carried out on 840 students of Ilam University of Medical Sciences by using a researcher-made questionnaire including three dimensions; interaction¡ subject and class management¡ and organizational tasks. Validity and reliability of the questionnaire was confirmed by content and construct validity and alpha cronbach. An acceptance criteria was used in order to total evaluation of the scale. Data collected analyzed by SPSS software and Mann-whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests.
Totally¡ 36 percent of students studied assessed lecture¡ good. In interaction subscale¡ opportunity for questioning by the teacher and team work by learners gained the highest (51.3%) and lowest (28.6%) desirability among all variables respectively. Time spent for session and course topics cover in organizational tasks¡ gained highest (57.2%) and lowest (32.4%) desirability among the subscale variables. A significant difference was found between girls and boys by subject and class management (P the results showed that lecture cannot achieve the acceptance satisfaction in the most of educational goals. So¡ it is necessary that educational systems’ policy makers replace this method with appropriate methods in many of courses or try for optimizing the method with deep studies.

Researches has shown that one of the important keys to learning «teaching method» and the impact of other factors such as teacher characteristics on student learning are minimal. So in recent years¡ medical education has undergone tremendous changes and has developed a variety of new methods of teaching. The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences and perspectives of basic sciences faculty members of medical school of Tehran university of medical sciences regard to different teaching In this qualitative study in 2013¡ using purposeful sampling¡ thirty faculty members from different academic rank¡ degree¡ school and training records participated in the research. The data gathered by In-depth interviews. All of the interviews tape recorded transcribed verbatim and analyzed according to the content analysis method. The main themes taken from the study «method of teaching» ¡ «Choosing and applying various methods of teaching» and «Barriers and facilitators of teaching methods» are. Different ways of teaching among teachers in three general categories: traditional techniques¡ new methods¡ techniques and fusion categories were merged. Choosing and using different teaching methods¡ teaching time in this study can be school supplies¡ teacher''s personality and interest rates¡ he pointed to the proper functioning of the system and the education system. These results indicate that despite the fact that most science teachers agreed with the implementation modern methods of education¡ but due to the lack of suitable substrates and administrative obstacles¡ the methods to graduate students at has been considered more appropriate. Furthermore¡ this study showed that teachers and students are prepared for transformation and modernization of medical education. Development actors in the educational system need to be able to think well¡ a good theory should be able to argue a new theory and practice in the field to operate.

Dentists have to choose a precise treatment plan based on the prevailing sign symptoms gathered from patients. However; in most of cases¡ the symptoms are complicate which makes the lack of confidence for the dentist to find an accurate treatment plan. This study introduces a new diagnosis system that helps the dentists and students to choose an accurate course of treatment for dental caries. This diagnostic system is based on Bayesian Network (BN) analysis
In this system¡ patient’s symptoms were as input variables and treatments were as output variables. A Bayesian Network is designed for 13 different sign-symptoms and 5 related treatments. K-means clustering algorithm is used to determine the relationships between variables¡ including symptoms and treatment
The system evaluated by using actual scenario to determine the accuracy and showed reliable outcome.
This system can be used in dental schools to teach students.

Total mean of communication skills was 123.93±7.82. Mean of communication sub-skills including emotion control¡ message perception¡ decisiveness¡ listening to and showing recognition to message were 29.04±2.88¡ 33.9±2.70¡ 18.44±1.71¡ 25.54±2.45 and 17±2.13¡ respectively.

Nursing staff have crucial role in the health care systems. So¡ their Education has a wide role in promoting the scientific and professional skills among nurses. This study was conducted to investigate the nurses'' opinion about continuous Nursing Education in teaching hospitals of Bandar Abbas.
This descriptive cross sectional study was conducted on 3 teaching hospitals in Bandar Abbas in 2011. The members of target population were 390 nurses. The data were collected by an approved questionnaire which consisted of demographic information¡ and six areas consist of motivation¡ continuous education barriers¡ and continuous education needs¡ educational methods¡ educational equipments and opinion about up-to date information¡ were evaluated.
