Information-seeking behavior of individuals has been greatly influenced by the emergence of digital libraries. The objective of this research was to examine the factor affecting information-seeking behavior of medical students when utilizing the digital library. This descriptive-analytical study, through the utilization of Morgan table and stratified random sampling techniques, 234 student at Abadan University of medical sciences was chosen to partake in the research. Data collection was carried out using an information seeking behavior. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS version 21 software and frequency, one-sample t test, independent t test, and ANOVA analysis of variance calculated at a significance level of 0.05. Highest averages were observed for the flow of experience, usefulness, and ease of use. The average information-seeking behavior of students was calculated to be 3.38, with a standard deviation of 0.68. A notable distinction was observed among the three components, self-efficacy in obtaining information, information seeking, and information need, in relation to the information-seeking behavior of students in the digital library. However, no significant differences were found between gender, age, and field of study of students in terms of their attitude towards information-seeking behavior in the digital library. The advancement in digital library usage depend on adapting to the information needs and information-seeking behaviors of users to maximize productivity. To enhance the usability of digital libraries, customized programs should be developed to increase user familiarity with the services offered, alongside a more proactive involvement of librarians.

Hope is essential for human health, so life expectancy is definitely a basic need for students. On this basis, the present study was conducted with the aim of examining the mediating role of resilience in relation to spiritual experiences in predicting hope in students.

The current research was descriptive-correlational. The research population included all male and female undergraduate students of Farhangian University of Qazvin province in the academic year 2021-2022 (no = 900). Based on Morgan and Gujersi's table, 269 students were selected by available sampling method. The data collection instruments included the spiritual experiences questionnaire by Underwood and Tersey (2002), and Connor and Davidson's resilience (2003), and Snyder et al.'s (1991) life expectancy questionnaires. To analyze the data, Pearson's correlation test was used on SPSS version 24 and AMOS software was used to check the research model.

The feeling of the presence of God both directly (P < 0.01, β = 0.205) and indirectly with the mediation of resilience (P < 0.01, β = 0.126) had an effect on life expectancy. Positive Communication with God both directly (P < 0.01, β = 0.135) and indirectly with the mediation of resilience (P < 0.01, β = 0.082) had a positive effect on life expectancy. The feeling of responsibility towards others both directly (P < 0.01, β = 0.172) and indirectly with the mediation of resilience (P < 0.01, β = 0.110) had a positive effect on life expectancy.

The results of this study show the importance of paying attention to spiritual experiences and resilience as variables affecting hope in students. Therefore, such issues as supporting, facilitating and attention to people's spiritual desires and needs should be taken into consideration in the care programs.

Mental health is a state of well-being in which each person understands their potential abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, have productive and fruitful work and be useful for his society, and since students are one of the most important strata of society and as future managers, they play an important role in the future administration of the country and the growth and development of the society, their mental health has special importance. The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the attitude and practical commitment to prayer and its effect on the mental health of Iranian students.

Identification and retrieval of studies was done through searching SID, Magiran, IranDoc, Noormags, Civilica, Ensani Portal databases and Google Scholar without publication time limit (from the beginning to the end of November, 2023). After reviewing the articles, twelve studies with a total sample of 4135 students, which met the inclusion criteria, were systematically reviewed.

The results of the included studies showed a statistically significant relationship between commitment to prayer and reducing depression, increasing mental health, and life satisfaction of students (p<0.05). The effect of gender (women more than men) on the tendency to prayer was also observed in the results of the studies.

Considering the direct effect of prayer on the mental health of students, it is suggested that comprehensive and effective measures be taken in cultural planning and university policies to promote culture associated with performing prayer in universities to improve the mental health of students.

Mental health is closely related to emotions and feelings. In this regard, emotional maturity can provide the groundwork for managing emotions in response to environmental demands. The present study aimed to predict emotional maturity based on early maladaptive schemas, mediated by perceived social support, in college students.

The research method was descriptive and correlational. The study population consisted of Ferdowsi University students enrolled in the academic year 2022-2023. Among them, 353 individuals were selected through convenience sampling. The Singh and Bhargava Emotional Maturity Scale (1990), the Young Schema Questionnaire (1998), and the Zimet et al. Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale (1988) were used for data collection. To examine the mediating role of a variable, structural equation modeling using AMOS 26 was employed.

The Pearson correlation coefficient indicated a significant negative correlation between early maladaptive schemas and emotional maturity, as well as between early maladaptive schemas and perceived social support. Additionally, there was a significant positive correlation between emotional maturity and perceived social support. The results of the structural equation model indicated that the relationship between early maladaptive schemas and emotional maturity can be mediated by perceived social support.

Based on the findings of this research, conducting individual or group sessions based on schema therapy for students and teaching appropriate support methods for family members can be crucial in fostering emotional maturity among students.

Considering the importance of preventive behaviors against contracting covid-19, especially among students, this study was conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of the educational program based on the multi-theory model on preventive behaviors against contracting covid-19 among students in Yazd city.

The current research is an intervention study that was conducted on undergraduate students of Yazd universities. They were selected by simple random sampling for the intervention group and the control group (50 people). The required information was collected by means of questionnaires whose reliability and validity were measured by the research team, before and 1 month after the implementation of the intervention. Also, a significance level of 5% was considered. Analyzes were done with SPSS 18 software.

The average age of the participants was 20.91±1.77. And most of them were women (71%). The mean scores in the field of emotional transformation and change in the social environment of hand washing behavior showed a significant increase after the intervention in the intervention group. In the vaccine acceptance behavior before and after the intervention, a significant difference was observed in the average score of cooperative dialogue in the intervention group. In the area of cooperative dialogue, change in physical environment, emotional transformation, training for change and change in the social environment of the behavior of wearing a mask, after the intervention, a significant difference was observed in the average score of the intervention group (P-Value ≤ 05).

The educational program based on multi-theoretical model structures can have a significant impact on the adoption of preventive behaviors against the infection of covid-19 in students. It is suggested that by conducting a comprehensive qualitative study, the impact of preventive behaviors against contracting Covid-19 and other emerging infectious diseases in the future based on a multi-theoretical model.

The profession of dentistry is one of the most vulnerable professions. The purpose of this research was to determine the ergonomic status of Rafsanjan dental students using the RULA (Rapid Upper Limb Assessment) method in 2022.

In this descriptive-cross-sectional study, the students were selected in one academic semester using convenience sampling method (50 people). RULA and Nowerdik’s Questionnaire were used to examine the ergonomic and skeletal-muscular condition, respectively. Data analysis was done by non-parametric Chi square and Spearman tests.

In the study of ergonomic status with the RULA tool, a high percentage of dental students prioritized corrective action three (34%) and four (56%). There was no significant relationship between the ergonomics course score and the final grade of RULA and (p>0.05).

 Most of the dental students in Rafsanjan need more training and posture changes. Also, the symptoms of skeletal-muscular disorders and pain in Rafsanjan dental students have a high percentage.

Cosmetic surgery is defined as a method of maintaining, restoring, or enhancing the physical appearance through surgical and medical techniques, and considering that in recent years, people's attention and interest in surgical and non-surgical methods have greatly increased and about 90% of these procedures are performed by women. This study aimed to determine the effect of life skills training on the attitude of female students of Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences towards cosmetic medicine interventions.

This quasi-experimental study was conducted on 80 female dormitory students of Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences in 1402 in two randomly selected intervention and control groups. Data were collected using the demographic and attitude toward cosmetic surgery (ACSS) and body image fear (BICI) questionnaires. Training was conducted in 6 one-hour sessions for 3 weeks in a face-to-face manner using a question and answer method. Descriptive statistics (frequency, mean, and standard deviation) and analytical statistics including independent t-tests and paired t-test were used to analyze the data and Spearman correlation were used to analyze the data.

The participants in the study before the intervention were homogeneous in terms of demographic variables and average score (ACSS) and (BICI) (P ≥ 0.05). After the educational intervention, there was a significant difference between the average score of (ACSS) and (BICI) in both the test and control groups (P ≤ 0.05). The test group participants had a significant decrease in the average score (ACSS) and (BICI).

Life skills training was able to help the intervention group students reduce their body image fears by improving skills such as informed decision-making, management, and coping with their loss in a healthy way. Therefore, the results of the present study confirm the effectiveness of life skills training on female students' attitudes towards cosmetic medicine interventions.

One of the primary functions of the study and development centers at medical universities nationwide is to enhance teaching quality. To achieve this, various methods are employed to assess teaching effectiveness. One such method involves evaluating professors' teaching quality through interactive student committees during the academic semester. This study aims to examine the impact of forming these interactive student committees on teaching quality at the School of Allied Medical Sciences, Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences.

This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at the School of Allied Medical Sciences, Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences, in 2021. The research population comprised BSc students who enrolled in the School of Allied Medical Sciences in 2018, 2019, and 2020 and participated in forming interactive student committees. The research tool was a questionnaire developed by the researcher, consisting of four main sections. After confirming the questionnaire's validity and reliability, it was distributed to the target sample via email and messaging platforms. Descriptive and inferential methods were used to analyze the collected data using SPSS software (version 24).

A total of 57% of the questionnaires were completed and returned by the participants. The analysis of boxplots related to students' responses on presenting weekly reports on teaching quality showed a normal and balanced distribution. The greater dispersion of scores above the median indicated a significant positive relationship. Additionally, there was a significant relationship between presenting weekly reports and the presence of problems in presenting these reports (p < 0.05).

Overall, the study findings indicated that forming interactive student committees can be beneficial and influential in enhancing both the quality and quantity of teaching provided by professors.

 Discovering the interaction of psychological structures and the collective effect on attitudes towards marriage in our society seems to be a vital issue and addresses a significant gap in psychology and marital counseling. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of determining the relationship of self-esteem and spiritual intelligence with fear of marriage in college students with the mediation of mental toughness.

 The present study was descriptive-correlational in nature. The statistical population comprised all male and female students at the Islamic Azad University, Sardasht Branch, totaling 670 individuals, of whom 358 were selected through purposive sampling. For data collection, standardized tools were employed including Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale (1965), King's Spiritual Intelligence Scale (2000), Ahvaz Psychological Hardiness Scale (2006), and Richard's Fear of Marriage Scale (2007). Data analysis was conducted using Spearman's correlation tests and Structural Equation Modeling on SPSS and AMOS Version 24.

 Self-esteem had a significant inverse effect on fear of marriage (β = -0.330, P < 0.001). Similarly, spiritual intelligence significantly inversely affected fear of marriage (β = -0.210, P < 0.001). Psychological hardiness also had a significant inverse effect on fear of marriage (β = -0.20, P < 0.001). The indirect effect of self-esteem on fear of marriage through psychological hardiness was significant and inverse (β = -0.054, P < 0.001). Likewise, the indirect effect of spiritual intelligence on fear of marriage through psychological hardiness was negative and significant (β = -0.062, P < 0.001).

 Self-esteem, spiritual intelligence, and psychological hardiness significantly inversely affected fear of marriage, underscoring their diminishing role in this phenomenon. Specifically, it was found that self-esteem and spiritual intelligence not only directly but also indirectly reduced fear of marriage through enhancing psychological hardiness.

Nursing students are exposed to various educational, family, and social stresses and various factors can affect their mental health. Therefore, in order to pay attention to different dimensions of health and investigate the effects of spirituality on health, the present study was conducted to determine the effect of fasting on the mental health of nursing students of Borujen Faculty of Medical Sciences.

The present semi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design was conducted in 2022 at Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences. Ninety nursing students of Borujen Faculty of Medical Sciences were selected by available methods and assigned to two intervention and control groups by a simple random method. The intervention in this study included at least 23 days of fasting during Ramadan. The data before and after the intervention were collected by the demographic information questionnaire and the 21-question depression, anxiety, and stress standard tool (DASS). The validity and reliability of this questionnaire were conducted for the first time in Iran by Sahebi et al. in 2005. SPSS  was used for analysis. Descriptive statistical tests including frequency percentage, mean and standard deviation, and inferential statistical tests including t-test, paired t-test, analysis of variance, and chi-square were used.

There was no significant difference in the total mental health score between intervention (32.32±11.62) and control (29.87±14.09) groups before the intervention (P=0.08). There was a significant difference in this score between intervention (20.6±5.71) and control (29.49±8.9) groups after the intervention (P=0.04). The total mental health score in the control group before (29.87±14.09) and after (29.49±8.9) the intervention had no significant difference (P=0.15); while in the intervention group before (32.32±11.62) and after (20.6±5.71) the intervention had a significant difference (P=0.001). Mental health dimensions before and after intervention, indicated that anxiety (P=0.04) and stress (P=0.003) decreased significantly after the intervention in the intervention group. However, there was no significant difference in the depression dimension (P=0.06).

According to the results, it should be said that regular and periodic examination of the health level, and the promotion of educational and training programs on the subject of fasting to improve mental health, should be considered.

It is important to pay attention to the quality of college life to improve the self-efficacy of students. The present study aims to investigate the role of the quality of college life in predicting the academic self-efficacy of nursing students in Iran.

This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in 2024 on 217 nursing students of Gonabad University of Medical Sciences. The data collection tools included Mahdi’s quality of college life scale in Persian and Owen and Froman’s College Academic Self-Efficacy Scale. Data analysis was done in SPSS software, version 20 using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (Pearson’s correlation test and multiple regression analysis).

There was a significant and positive relationship between the quality of college life and academic self-efficacy (r=0.884, P<0.01). The results of multiple regression analysis showed that 24% of the variance in students’ academic self-efficacy was explained by the dimensions of the quality of college life: Professors’ teaching quality (P=0.01), classroom environment (P=0.028), cultural diversity in the university (P=0.023), medical facilities (P=0.025), sanitation status and environment of the university (P=0.041), recreational/sports/welfare services of the university (P=0.019) and the conditions of university library (P=0.045) 

The quality of college life is a significant predictor of academic self-efficacy in nursing students. Therefore, it is recommended to pay special attention to the quality of college life in these students to strengthen their academic self-efficacy.

Laboratory experiences are needed to develop practical skills in medical education. Strengthening practical skills is important for the future career development in medical students. This study aims to survey the perceptions of medical students about practical physiology course in Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences (AJUMS), Iran.

This descriptive-analytical study was conducted in 2022. Participants were 177 medical students from the Faculty of Medicine at the AJUMS. Data collection tools included a demographic form and a researcher-made questionnaire. SPSS software, version 22 was used for data analysis.

The student’s grade point average (GPA) for the practical physiology course was 16.98 ±2.32, ranging from 10.5 to 20. The mean total score of the questionnaire was 66.44 out of 95, which is higher than the average, indicating a favorable perception of the practical physiology course. There was a significant relationship between students’ perceptions and practical physiology GPA (P<0.05).

Medical students of AJUMS have positive perceptions of practical physiology course presentation in the university.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused a sudden shift towards the use of online teaching method in medical education. This study aims to investigate the knowledge and attitude of medical students towards the online learning of physiology at Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences (AJUMS).

This is a descriptive-analytical study conducted in 2021. The study population consists of all students of the School of Medicine (semesters 2-4) at AJUMS. Data collection tools included a demographic form and a researcher-made questionnaire with a content validity index of 0.80-1 and reliability (Cronbach’s alpha) of 0.937.

Among 176 participants, 92 (52.3%) were female and 84 (47.7%) were male, with a mean age of 21.76±1.12 years. The knowledge and attitude of medical students regarding online learning of physiology were relatively favorable and positive. The knowledge and attitude scores were 3.51±0.81 and 4.23±1.07, respectively. The mean knowledge score was significantly different between male (Mean=3.65) and female (Mean= 4.11) students, but there was no significant difference in the attitude score between male (Mean=4.36) and female (Mean=4.11) groups.

The knowledge and attitude of medical students of AJUMS regarding the online education of physiology during the COVID-19 pandemic is relatively favorable. The results can be helpful for the studies in the future during health-related critical situations.

Medical education and the training of efficient human resources in the field of health have always been the goal of educational planners. For some college students, academic activities lead to burnout. This study aims to investigate the prevalence of academic burnout and its related factors in Iranian medical students. 

This is a scoping review study. Searches were conducted to identify relevant articles in the national databases of SID, MagIran, ElmNet, and Google Scholar from 2011 to 2023 using keywords related to burnout, academic burnout, students, and medical sciences. The initial search yielded 986 articles. After removing duplicates, 548 records remained for screening. Following the screening process based on the title and abstract, 62 full-text articles were evaluated for eligibility. Finally, 43 studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the review.

The study population of articles consisted of medical sciences (anesthesia, health, medicine, rehabilitation, nursing, dentistry, emergency medicine, operating room). The design of studies was descriptive-correlational, descriptive cross-sectional, or descriptive-analytical. The assessment tools were Barso et al.’s academic burnout questionnaire in 26 studies, the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey in 12 studies, Schaufeli et al.’s Burnout Assessment Tool in one study, the Burnout Clinical Subtype Questionnaire in two studies, and Salmela-Aro’s School Burnout Inventory in two studies. The mean score of academic burnout ranged from 1.73±1.64 (from 0-4) to 120.05±9.3 (total of three academic burnout domains). In some studies, a significant relationship was found between academic burnout and the variables of age, gender, marital status, place of residence, grade point average and interest in the field of study.

All studies in Iran reported a prevalence of academic burnout among medical students, which is expected, since these students face different educational challenges during their studies and sometimes they are dissatisfied and incompatible with their educational environment, which can cause academic burnout. Therefore, it seems necessary to identify the factors that can reduce academic burnout in Iranian medical students.

Values are the core structures of personality and are considered standards to guide thinking and action. Values guide people towards certain positions in social issues and place people in favor of an ideology against others. When people think about their personal values, they think about what is important, good, and worthy for them. According to intrinsic and extrinsic motivational content, Schwartz conceptualized 10 types of personal values. Personal values with an internal orientation (centered on the person) belong to the two dimensions of self–enhancement (universalism and benevolence) and openness to changes (benevolence, self–direction, and stimulation), and personal values with an external orientation (centered on the community) belong to the two dimensions of conversation (stimulation, tradition, and security) and self–transcendence (achievement and power). These values act as guiding principles in a person's life and are considered the building blocks of good life and well–being. Psychosocial researchers have long been interested in finding ways to assess human values. Schwartz and his colleagues have developed various tools to achieve this ambitious goal. One of the most important tools is the short form of the Schwartz Portrait Values Questionnaire. The present study aims to investigate the psychometric properties of the Schwartz Portrait Values Questionnaire short form (PVQ–21, 2001) in Iranian university students.

This research was methodological. The statistical population included all students of Farhangian University in Tehran City, Iran, in the academic year 2021–2022. Considering that the minimum sample size for factor analysis is 6 to 10 times the number of instrument items, in the present study, after removing 35 inaccurate questionnaires, 450 people were included in the study using the available sampling method. The study participants answered the short form of PVQ–21. The content validity of the questionnaire was checked using two indices, content validity index (CVI) and content validity ratio (CVR), with the opinion of ten experts (3 people are PhD in psychometrics, 5 are clinical psychologists, and 2 are PhD students in clinical psychology). Using the Lawshe table, the optimal CVR was 0.62. The value of 0.79 was considered an acceptable value for CVI. The factorial structure, the short form of the Schwartz Portrait Values Questionnaire, was determined using confirmatory factor analysis with the help of LISREL version 8.8 software, and the reliability of the tool was determined using the Cronbach alpha coefficient in SPSS version 24 software. The significance level was set at 0.05.

Content validity was checked with the opinion of 10 experts, and the range of CVR for each statement was between 0.80 and 1. Comparing the obtained values with the Lawshe table for each phrase, the CVR was 0.62, indicating the significance of the presence of phrases in the research tool. The results of the CVI of each phrase were more than 0.79, which showed the simplicity, specificity, and appropriate clarity of each phrase. The factorial structure of PVQ–21 in the students of Farhangian University showed that, in addition to 10 personal values, this tool has four general factors of openness to changes (benevolence, self–direction, and stimulation), self–enhancement (universalism and benevolence), conversation (stimulation, tradition, and security), and self–transcendence (achievement and power). According to the value perspective, Schwartz's personal values were measured. Fit indices, including χ2/df=2/90; MRSEA=0.065; CFI=0.92, and GFI=0.90 were optimally obtained. The Cronbach alpha values were calculated between 0.700 (for self–transcendence) and 0.777 (for self–enhancement).

The findings of this research showed that the short form of PVQ–21 (2001) has good validity and reliability in Farhangian University students, and it can be used to check people's personal values. This questionnaire has good validity and reliability among Iranian students and can be used as a tool for examining one's personal values.

Obsessive–Compulsive Disorder (OCD) manifests as a group of symptoms, including disturbing thoughts, obsessive–compulsive disorder, mental occupation, and practical obsessions. These recurring practical or mental obsessions cause severe discomfort to the individual, waste time, and significantly disrupt the normal course of life, job function, regular social activities, or relationships. Obsessive–compulsive disorder is a chronic disorder that has a profound effect on a person's life and social, emotional, and occupational performance. OCD patients should perform their obsessive–compulsive behaviors to get rid of their thoughts, but this is a temporary relief. Not following the obsessive routine causes severe discomfort and anxiety. Therefore, recognizing obsessive–compulsive concerns seems necessary. In this study, psychometrics, validity, and reliability of self–questionnaire obsessive–compulsive concerns are investigated.

In terms of purpose, this research was an instrument development and a methodological study. The statistical population of the study comprised students at Tehran universities in the academic year 2019–2020 and several clinical patients referred to counseling centers in Tehran who were diagnosed with OCD. Among these people, 323 subjects were selected by stepwise cluster random sampling. To evaluate the reliability of the self–questionnaire and obsessive concerns (García–Soriano G et al., 2012), we examined the internal consistency and for the validity, the content and face validities. The confirmatory factor analysis was used to assess the factor construct (construct validity) and convergent validity (correlation with Beck depression and Beck anxiety and obsessive thoughts questionnaires). The discriminative validity was used to compare the mean score of OCD patients with the healthy group. All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS software version 25.

The factor construct of self–questionnaire and obsessive concerns was not rejected in the Iranian sample. The fit indices were as follows: TFL=0.891, CFI= 0.901, NFI=0.94, IFI, 0.904, RMSEA=0.056. The Cronbach alpha values were 0.94 for the whole questionnaire, 0.89 for compulsive hoarding, 0.91 for maintaining ethical values, and 0.85 for responsibility toward others. The content validity was assessed using the opinions of psychology experts about the items, and the content validity ratio was checked for every question, which was between 0.8 and 1. Also, the correlation coefficients of three dimensions of the questionnaire (compulsive hoarding, maintaining ethical values, and responsibility toward others) were 0.40, 0.11, and 0.13 with the Beck depression inventory, 0.43, 0.14, and 0.15 with the Beck anxiety questionnaire, and 0.67, 0.53, and 0.42 with obsessive beliefs, respectively. To determine the discriminative validity, the research instrument items were compared between the normal group (212 people) and clinical people with OCD (110 people) using multifactorial and 1–factor analysis of variance of three factors: compulsive hoarding, maintaining ethical values, and responsibility toward others. The results of the multifactorial analysis of variance showed significant differences between the two groups regarding dependent variables (F=5.786, p<0.05, Ƞ2=0.052).

The findings of this study showed that this questionnaire is a suitable diagnostic tool to identify the level of obsessive–compulsive disorder in adults.

Given the key role of job diagnostic and motivation in achieving career and academic success, it is important to examine the views of operating room students due to the different nature of the field. The aim of this study was to compare the views of freshman and senior operating room students about their job diagnostic and professional motivation.

This descriptive-analytical study was performed on 91 operating room students of Zahedan and Zabol Universities of Medical Sciences in 2019-2020 using convenience sampling. Data collection instruments in this study were two job diagnostic questionnaire of Elham and Hackman and a researcher-made questionnaire of professional motivation. In order to describe the status of the subjects, descriptive statistics were used and the data were analyzed by independent t-tests with SPSS statistical software.

The mean scores of job diagnostic were different in both groups of freshman and senior operating room students. The difference between the mean views of freshman and senior students regarding interest in the chosen field of operating room was 5.28 and 4.02, respectively, and this difference was statistically significant. Also, the difference between the average views of freshman and senior students regarding the enjoyment of activities in the field of operating room was 5.58 and 3.90, respectively, which was statistically significant.

Freshman students have a higher professional motivation than the operating room field at the beginning of entering university due to their different views on job diagnostic.

Students are always subject to academic neglect for various reasons. Meanwhile, the role of emotions, self-esteem and ability to regulate excitement is important. The aim of this study was to determine the prediction of academic procrastination on the basis of self-esteem and emotion regulation in students.

In this cross-sectional study, 150 male students residing in the dormitory of Qazvin University of Medical Sciences in 2018 participated in this study. They were selected by random sampling method in Solomon and Rothblum (1984) educational oversight questionnaires, Rosenberg self-esteem (1989) and the emotional regulation of Gross and John (2003). The data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple stepwise regression tests.

The results showed that there is a negative and significant relationship between self-esteem, total score of emotion regulation and cognitive restraint and cognitive re-evaluation subscales (P <0.001). The results of regression analysis also showed that cognitive restraint and self-esteem variables predict a total of 33% of the student's academic procrastination changes.

Accordingly, it can be concluded that self-esteem and emotional regulation are related to student's academic procrastination and can predict it meaningfully. Regarding the findings, improving their emotion regulation and self-esteem can facilitate the prevention of procrastination.

Social anxiety is characterized by marked anxiety, cognitive and emotional dysfunction in social situations and can lead to social avoidance behavior. The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating role of self-criticism in the relationship between the fear of negative evaluation and self-compassion with social anxiety in Yazd medical students.

A correlational research study was conducted using structural equation modeling. The statistical population of the research consisted of all students of medicine, pharmacy and dentistry of Shahid Sadougi University of Medical Sciences in Yazd in the academic year of 2021-2022. The sample size of 250 people was determined; sampling was done by voluntary sampling method. Research instruments included social anxiety scale (Jarabek, 1996), fear of negative evaluation (Leary, 1983), short form of self-compassion (Rees et al., 2011) and self-criticism (Thompson and Zaroff, 2004), which were published online. Finally, the data of 227 students were analyzed by Pearson correlation and structural equation model using SPSS16 and Amos24 software.

The results showed that the direct effect of fear of negative evaluation and self-criticism on social anxiety was significant (P<0.001) the direct effect of self-compassion on students' social anxiety was insignificant (P<0.05) and the direct effect of fear of negative evaluation and self-compassion on self-criticism was also significant (P<0.001). Similarly, the bootstrap results showed that the effect of fear of negative evaluation and self-compassion on social anxiety through self-criticism was significant (P<0.001).

Fear of negative evaluation significantly influences social anxiety, highlighting self-criticism's mediating role in this relationship.
