Identifying the factors related to teacher-student communication and its application in education is effective in the quality of teaching-learning. This study was conducted to investigate teacher-student communication and its relationship with background characteristics in medical students of Qom Islamic Azad University in 2022.

This is a descriptive-analytical study that was conducted at Qom Azad University of Medical Sciences in 2022. The sample selection was done using the convenience sampling method and 113 medical students were evaluated using the standard teacher-student communication questionnaire. Data were entered into SPSS software version 26 and analyzed with statistical tests, chi-square, ANOVA, post hoc Tukey, and stepwise multiple regression.

Among the demographic factors, educational level had a significant relationship with teacher-student communication , so that in basic sciences level, teacher-student communication  was higher (P = 0.009). Stepwise multiple linear regression analysis also identified educational level (P = 0.001, β = -0.316) as effective in teacher-student communication . Also, educational level had a significant relationship with the domains of teacher's personal factor (P = 0.011) and scientific factor (P = 0.001) but not with professional factor (P = 0.102). Also, post hoc Tukey test showed that GPA had a significant relationship with the domain of scientific factor, so that with increasing GPA, the communication  is better in this domain (P = 0.036).

The results of the study showed that from the students' point of view, teacher-student communication  is higher in basic sciences level, and among them, teacher's personal and scientific characteristics are effective. Therefore, it is suggested to medical education policy makers to provide effective planning to create a suitable interactive environment in the clinic for students and teachers.

The coronavirus pandemic significantly affected the education and healthcare sectors, with a notable impact on the mental health of teachers and nurses. The virus has deeply affected people’s mental health and its negative effects are still felt. This study aims to compare the psychological well-being, cognitive flexibility, and coping styles between female nurses and teachers in Tehran.

The study’s statistical population consisted of 50 female teachers and 50 female nurses in Tehran in 2022. Data were collected using the Psychological Well-Being Questionnaire (Ryff, 1989), the Cognitive Flexibility Inventory (Dennis et al., 2010), and the Coping Styles Questionnaire (Cassidy and Long, 1996). The data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA).

The study revealed significant differences between teachers and nurses in terms of psychological well-being and cognitive flexibility. Specifically, significant differences were found in the components of psychological well-being, including environmental mastery, positive relations with others, purpose in life, and self-acceptance. For cognitive flexibility, significant differences were observed in the perception of different options, perception of controllability, and perception of behavior justification. Additionally, teachers and nurses showed significant differences in problem-solving helplessness, problem-solving control, problem-solving confidence, and avoidance coping styles. However, no significant differences were found in creativity and orientation coping styles between the two groups. Overall, teachers exhibited higher levels of psychological well-being and cognitive flexibility compared to nurses.

The results of this study indicate that both nurses and teachers, who were directly impacted by the coronavirus pandemic, experienced significant psychological strain and damage. However, nurses, who faced greater work-related stress due to their direct exposure to the virus, exhibited lower cognitive flexibility and psychological well-being compared to teachers. Nurses also tended to use more emotion-focused coping strategies. Therefore, when developing therapeutic interventions for those affected by the pandemic, special attention should be given to the psychological health of these high-risk groups, particularly nurses.

Anxiety is one of the common symptoms in patients with chronic respiratory disorders, including chrona, which negatively affects health and quality of life by weakening the immune system. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of the treatment focused on compassion on tolerance, chronic pain and anxiety caused by Corona in Gorgan's teachers in 2022.

The research method was a semi-experimental pre-test-post-test type with a control group. The statistical population of the research was all the third grade teachers in the city of Gorgan in the academic year 2021-2022, of which 30 people were selected as a sample using available sampling method and randomly placed in 2 experimental and control groups (15 people in each group). The experimental group received compassion-focused therapy, and the control group did not receive any intervention until the end of the study. The research tools included Alizadeh Fard et al.'s anxiety questionnaires, McGill's pain and distress tolerance questionnaires by Simmons and Gaher. The research data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of covariance test.

The results showed that the results generally showed that there was a significant difference between the experimental group and the evidence of distress tolerance, chronic pain, and anxiety caused by Corona (P <0.0001). Central treatment focused on compassion is an important factor in increasing distress tolerance and reducing chronic pain and anxiety caused by chrona in teachers.

Based on the results of therapists, counselors, and psychologists, along with other therapies, use the treatment focused on compassion to promote teachers' psychological status.

Establishing effective communication between professors and students is very important in the university environment and it can have a significant impact on the academic and professional success of students. This study aimed to to identify the factors affecting the relationship between students and professors at Mashhad University of Medical Sciences.

This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in 2022 on medical basic sciences students an data were gathered through a standard questionnaire containing demographic information and 35 questions about the factors affecting the relationship between students and professors. The data were analyzed using SPSS software and an independent t-test.

In this study, 69% of the students were male and 73% were single. According to the students' opinions, the speaking skills (77%), physical appearance (33%), rank (31.5%), maintaining the dignity and respect of students (25%), empathy and mutual understanding (19%) had the most significant impact on establishing a relationship between them and professors. However, the professor's age proximity to the student (15%), good listening skills and appropriate response to questions (15%), receptivity to criticism (13%), use of communication techniques (10%), and adherence to ethical principles (9%) had the least impact. Among all demographic variables, only sex had a signifant relationship with personal abilities dimension.

Based on the results, it seems that most communication factors are important. Improving these relationships and focusing on effective factors can help improve students' academic status and organizationally lead to better efficiency and performance of the university.

Studies have demonstrated that teaching carries a substantial burden of health risks. Prevalent health issues among teachers include asthma, respiratory diseases, musculoskeletal problems, and mental disorders. These problems can be attributed to the specific attributes of their work environment. Consequently, this study aims to investigate the correlation between air quality within educational establishments and the overall health of teachers.

This systematic review aims to examine the impact of temperature, humidity, and ventilation rates within educational environments on teachers’ health status and thermal comfort. Relevant studies were searched for using the PubMed and Web of Science databases, employing keywords such as teacher, temperature, humidity, ventilation, school, classroom, health symptoms, and thermal comfort (2000-2022). The inclusion criterion was that articles examined teachers’ health and comfort with temperature, relative humidity, and ventilation of the educational place.

Out of the 103 articles found in the initial search, 13 articles were finally reviewed. Six studies investigated the voice abnormalities of teachers due to various factors (including temperature, relative humidity, and the ventilation rate of the educational place) and found that these abnormalities were affected by these factors. Two studies explored the relationship between the prevalence and exacerbation of respiratory symptoms and quality parameters of the indoor environment of educational places. Additionally, five studies investigated the relationship of air quality parameters of educational places with common non-specific symptoms among teachers.

Teachers frequently experience symptoms such as voice disorders, respiratory difficulties, allergies, and other nonspecific ailments, which may be associated with the quality parameters of the indoor environment in educational settings. These parameters include temperature, humidity, and ventilation rate. Consequently, controlling and regulating these parameters within the recommended values can help prevent the onset or exacerbation of these symptoms.

The purpose of this research was to analyze the concept of a teacher based on Islamic texts. The scope of the current research was Islamic texts and specifically, the Qur'an and Hajj al-Balaghah using a targeted approach.

One of the important factors in learning and  students` success is the professional competence of teachers. The aim of this study is to explore nursing students' understanding of the professional competence of their teachers.

This qualitative study was conducted using purposive sampling with 12 nursing students in 2022 at Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data. Sampling continued until data saturation was reached. Elo and Kyngas' method was used for data analysis, which included three stages of open coding, creating categories, and abstraction.

Three main themes were extracted from the data analysis, including educational competence (updating the knowledge of teachers, expertise in the field, ability to transfer knowledge), ethical competence (being a role model, having a presentable appearance, not discriminating among students), and classroom management (class management, having a lesson plan).

The findings revealed that three characteristics of educational, ethical, and classroom management competencies are essential for a professional nursing teacher. The implementation of these competencies in educational centers of medical universities can be useful not only at the beginning of their career but also throughout their service as teachers.

Teachers have a key role in reducing the complications of emergency events. This study aimed to determine the knowledge, attitude, and behavior of primary school teachers in Rafsanjan regarding emergency events of diabetes and accidents in schools.

This descriptive research was conducted on 100 primary school teachers in Rafsanjan City by census method. Data were collected in three sections of demographic information, knowledge, and attitude and behavior assessment. Data were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation test, independent two-sample t-test, and one-way ANOVA.

There was a significant relationship and a direct correlation between the score of attitude towards diabetes and age (r=0.240, p=0.016) and the level of education (p=0.013), and between the score of teachers’ attitude towards accidents and age (r=0.217, p=0.030) and their behavior and age (r=0.242, p=0.015).

Despite the desirability of teachers’ knowledge, attitudes, and behavior score, it is recommended that the retraining program be implemented with the aim of improving the knowledge, attitude, and practice of younger teachers.

Informal learning is regarded as one of the most common and, at the same time, the most efficient learning methods at the level of modern organizations. It is assumed to be one of the most typical and usual learning types in the work environment which results in knowledge and skills. The present study is aimed at designing and validating teachers’ informal learning leadership model at three dimensions and levels. 

exploratory sequential approach was applied as a mixed-method design in the present study. Hence, content analysis was used in the first stage of the research design. Then, in the second stage, a quantitative research was carried out on 269 participants who were elementary school teachers in the context of Tabriz city. Cluster sampling was used via model testing model. SPSS and Smart PLS 3 were used for analyzing quantitative data. 

the results of the study indicate that teachers’ informal learning leadership model is implemented efficiently at three levels: opinions (3 variables), strategy (5 variables0 and behavior (8 variables). According to the results of the study, strategies had the highest effect on teachers’ informal learning. Also, due to the lack of organization and discipline in informal learning, school management’s opinions and attitudes have key significance in teachers’ informal learning. Furthermore, for integrating and consolidating all the abilities in line with enhancing teachers’ informal learning level, the behavioristic dimension in school management should be taken into consideration as a facilitator. 

According to the findings of the study, thanks to applying teachers’ informal learning leadership, teachers’ mental health in the classroom context are enhanced and promoted. Consequently, teachers’ role and contribution to students’ learning become more evident and highlighted.

In the higher health education system, professors are in the axis of responsibility and the center of leadership that help protect values, achievements and continuity of activities. The aim of this study is to investigate important spiritual, moral and educational missions of the main basis of the educational system in critical and threatening conditions.

Data were identified in 15 items by means of focused group discussion, semi-structured interview, and researcher-made questionnaire. Description of subjects, delineation of dimensions and solution for implementation were presented for each item by obtaining expert opinions and using native studies.

The most important moral-spiritual responsibilities of professorsin critical and unusual conditions that have been analyzed and presented,include:the valuable and ethical-based mission in cultural and social changes, seeking justice, responsible leadership and protection of learners, smart solutions for continuity of activities and prevention of academic dropand recession , social responsibility, cooperationand playing key role in crisis control, clarifying the international dimensions of events and crises, efforts and measures to ensure, maintain, and promote the social, psychological and spiritual dimensions of health, identifying social determinants of health, giving hope and prevention of passivity, analysis of the crisis and finding solutions to it. Playing the role of a moral and practical model (in all of the life aspects, scientific, professional and social)for learners and policymakers, as well as introducing models, answering questions, clearing doubts, and helping promotion of creative thinking and criticism, are other findings of the study.

The responsibility of professors in the moral and spiritual education of learners in higher health education, and guiding the moral and spiritual processes of the university and society, are vital and decisive in all dangerous situations and in crises and unusual situations. To implement the moral and spiritual value-based responsibilities of professors, "educating and training", "disciplining and purification of the soul", "knowledge and ability", "responsibility and accountability", and "morality and spirituality", are considered necessary.
