Learning style is one of the main components of proper educational planning. The concept of lifelong learning is also one of the valuable concepts regarding professional knowledge and skills, especially for healthcare professionals. The current study was aimed at identifying preferred learning styles among students of health faculty of the Baqiyatallah University of Medical Sciences (BMSU) and assessing the relationship between learning style and lifelong learning.
In this descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study, 209 students from different health disciplines in the School of Health, BMSU were assessed. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, Kolb learning style inventory, and the scale of lifelong learning. Chi-square, Fisher exact test, Pearson correlation and one-way ANOVA were used with the help of SPSS 20 for data analysis.
The mean age of participants was 26.69 (SD= 8.38) and the majority of them were male (94%). Distribution of learning styles were: diverger (36%), accommodator (34%), assimilator (21%), and converger (10%). Among demographic and academic related variables only grade point average (GDP) significantly was associated with learning styles (p Regarding divergers and accommodators were more frequent than others, it is suggested that these facts be considered for a better educational planning and matching of proper teaching methods. Further research is needed to recognize the relations of learning styles with lifelong learning.

Providing health services is one of the most important priorities of a health system. Since the hospital organization is the prominent sector in a health system, the quality of services has higher impact from the point of view of service providers and patients. The aim of this was to study the prioritization and agreement of hospital service providers and receivers towards 6 dimensions- human resources, equipment and physical space, information, communication and training, access to service and care, respect towards values and emotional support, and system management and coordination.
In this descriptive-analytical study the quality criteria of hospital services from the perspective of 377 service providers and receivers were studied. Samples were selected using multi-stage sampling. Data was collected by a researcher-made questionnaire to prioritize quality standards from the point of view of service providers and receivers. The content of the questionnaire was confirmed using content, with acceptable significant level (p The most agreement in six dimensions were allocated to dimension of human resource including sub dimensions as knowledge, expertise, and skills of physicians, nurses and other caregivers (80%). In human resource dimension, both service providers and recipients had the same opinion on the first and second priorities. In dimension of equipment and physical space, information, communication and education, emotional support and respect for the values both service providers and recipient were agreed on the second and third priorities.
Determination of quality criteria according to the views of service providers and receivers on various communities with regard to social, economic and cultural is very important. Therefore, it is desirable to start plan the health services, particularly hospital services to be noted. By setting quality standards and incorporate it in the assessment and accreditation of hospitals can ensure to achieve the goal of improving the quality of hospital services.

Both groups were followed for two months after the intervention to perform the post-test. The data were analyzed using SPSS 16 and descriptive and analytical tests (t-test, Pearson, and Chi Square) (p The mean score of knowledge, attitude, behavior and Enabling Factors increased significantly after intervention (p Implementing educational intervention programs can increase the level of knowledge, attitude, and behavior of drivers regarding healthy lifestyle.

The successful management of diabetes relies on performing individual designed self-care activities to control symptoms and avoid complications; but one of the causes of diabetes complications is lack of self-care by diabetic patients. Therefore this study was conducted to predict self-care behavior using extended theory of reasoned action (ETRA) among women with type 2 diabetes.
In this cross-sectional and descriptive-analytical study, 300 women with type 2 diabetes referred to government health centers in the city of Mashhad were selected by multistage cluster sampling method. Data gathering tools were ETRA questionnaire and Toobert and colleagues’ brief scale of self-care behaviors'. For data analysis was used by descriptive and inferential statistics through SPSS 21. For prediction self-care behavior, as dependent variables, was used from multiple linear regression (using the Enter and backward models).
The self-efficacy was the most important structure for predicting of self-care intention. Results of regression showed that 55% the variance of behavioral intention and 24% the variance in self-care behavior can be predicted by the model.
The theory of reasoned action along with self-efficacy is suitable for predicting the self-care behaviors in diabetic women and self-efficacy is considered an important structure in determining self-care behaviors.

Recent studies have shown that one of the major effects of child sexual abuse is post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). PTSD can be associated with depression and loneliness, which, if untreated, lead to long-term complications. The aim of this research was to study the effectiveness of group play therapy on depression and loneliness in 7-11 years old children with PTSD caused by sexual abuse in Tehran.
This study was a quasi-experimental with a pre-test, posttest and follow-up design using a control group that was done in 2015. 34 children with PTSD due to sexual abuse were selected through convenience sampling and were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The experimental group was treated in 7 sessions with each 1.5 hours by Group play therapy. Loneliness Questionnaire and Children's Depression Inventory were used to collect the data. Data were analyzed by SPSS 20 using analysis of covariance method.
There was significant difference between depression and loneliness in the experimental and control groups (p = 0.000, F = 10.646), (p = 0.000, F = 29.54). By eliminating the effect of pre-test in the follow-up phase, the treatment effect was maintained.
Group play therapy can effectively reduce depression and loneliness in children with PTSD.

Perceived self-efficacy is one of the predictive factors in behavior. The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of nutrition education on weight control self - efficacy in the obese or overweight female high school students.
This intervention study of two groups on participants in which 154 obese and overweight female high school students, aged 15 to 17, were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. The data was collected by using the weight efficacy lifestyle questionnaire (WEL). Educational programs were implemented for four sessions for experiment group and the results were evaluated after intervention. The data were analyzed using chi square, independent t-test, paired t-test, Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon and Analysis of Covariance through SPSS 22.
Following the intervention, significant differences were observed in subscales including social pressures (p 0/05).
Utilizing an intervention technique like the present wellness-based program had positive effects on encouraging the adolescents for making healthier lifestyle and healthy lifestyle will prevent obesity and overweight.

Oral disease is one of the most common diseases in the world and its prevention in the early ages will reduce the effects of this disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of using the PEN-3 model to promote oral health behavior among elementary school students.
This study was conducted in two qualitative and quantitative phases on 120 students. In the qualitative phase, using depth interviews, factors affecting the model structures were extracted. Based on the results of the qualitative phase, a questionnaire was prepared that participants completed it in two stages- before and 6 months after the intervention. Educational intervention was based on according to the PEN-3 model structures. Questions and answers, teamwork and practical skills were used in the intervention phase. To analyze the data descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean ± SD) and analytical statistics (correlation coefficient, & paired t test) by the help of SPSS 20 were used at the significance level of 0.05.
Qualitative findings were the impact of dental health and cosmetic appearance as positive perceptions, oral health posters in health centers and the impact of mass media as a positive enablers and listening to parents and teachers as positive reinforcement. Quantitative findings show that knowledge, attitude, performance and duration of brushing, before the intervention, among the two groups was not significant, but after intervention independent t-test showed that knowledge, attitude, performance and duration of brushing in the two groups was significant (p Using the PEN-3 model is effective in identifying the cultural factors in improving the oral health-related behaviors.
