In light of the function of news in reflection of politics and practice relevant to health and with the aim of the analyses of health news coverage this article deals with a comparison of media valuations in Corona news of Iranian and German television programs. 

The study is descriptive with content analyses of newscasts. The sample comprises 62 news broadcasts of four networks that were chosen non randomly from two Iranian (Networks One and Two) and two German channels (ARD and ZDF). After the choice of dimensions and themes of the health news a code sheet was created by which 749 news related to health, mainly to Corona, and aired from February 18th to March 22nd, 2020 were encoded and analyzed (with SPSS).

Almost a third of all health news on Iran's Networks One and Two (32.9% and 28.4%, respectively) featured ratings with no clear distinction from actual news content. The two German broadcasters generally concentrated on the hard facts and largely adhered to the separation rule between news and commentary.For news about health-related human and material capacities and shortages, the rate of positive ratings in Iranian networks was higher than for all health news (Network One 13.3% vs. 10.7% and Network Two 22.8% vs.11.5%).The main feature of political news related to health is the high proportion of negative ratings in Iranian channels and on ZDF.

To build confidence in the news, the separation between messages and comments can play an appropriate role.

E-health is the cost-effective and secure use of information and communication technologies to support health .The study aimed to explain the customer's online shopping experience of health services during the Covid-19.

This study was a qualitative research that was performed by interpretive phenomenology. Participants in the study were individuals who had experience purchasing health services online. Sample selection was done purposefully by available sampling method. Data collection method was in-depth and semi-structured interviews. The data analysis were performed based on interpretive phenomenological method using Max.QDA software. Continuous comparisons between categories and subcategories, peer and member check, and internal coding agreement were performed.

This study showed that 10 general themes and 37 subcategories on customer online shopping experience of health services during the covid-19 pandemic. The main themes were online education and health promotion, development of palliative and supportive care, improvement of home care, e-health literacy, relative satisfaction of service recipients, organization of medical teams, positive attitude and acceptance of online health services, online health services economy, Health anxiety, online advertising and health promotion.

Online health services face fewer restrictions on palliative care, home care, and geriatric care. It is suggested to increase the effectiveness of these services by creating a culture and developing e-health literacy, using online marketing techniques in the field of health and concluding a consulting contract with online marketing.

Today, in dynamic environments, the risks in the supply chain increase. Companies have realized that risk in the supply chain can have a negative impact on the performance and productivity of the organization; therefore, it is essential to identify risk management strategies. This is also true in the health tourism supply chain; therefore, the main purpose of this study is to identify the risks of the health tourism supply chain and to determine the strategies to deal with the identified risks.

In the first phase, the risks of health tourism supply chain were identified through interviews with experts of Ayatollah Yathribi Hospital in Kashan, and in the second phase, a panel of experts was formed and strategies to deal with identified risks were determined.

The results of interviews with experts led to the identification of 75 risks in the form of 5 general categories of supply, internal, demand, supply chain management and external risks, which were finally identified through the formation of a panel of experts for each risk coping strategies.

This study has presented a new approach to health tourism supply chain risks. Thus, most of the identified risks are related to the category of internal risks. Therefore, paying attention to the causes of risk can prevent their occurrence.

Today, the important asset of organizations and their competitive advantage is capable and quality human resources. Despite, the risks of human resources have not been addressed especially in the health sector, and there is a significant research and practical gap in this area. Therefore, the present study aims to identify the risks of human capital in the health sector and provide a comprehensive model of this Risks.

For this purpose, in the first step, the dimensions and indicators of the human resources risk model were extracted from the theoretical literature using the systematic review method. The Delphi technique is then used to validate the final model of human resource risks in the healthcare sector.

In the first phase and systematic review of scientific documents, 1050 documents were obtained in the initial search, which were found after refining 67 related documents. Which by examining these documents, 271 risks of human resources were identified. After eliminating duplicates and merging similar these, the number of human resources risks was reduced to 139 risks, which was validated in the second phase by Delphi method. After 2 rounds of Delphi, 4 main themes, 14 sub-themes 1, 4 sub-themes 2 and 134 concepts (risks) related to human resource risks in the field of health were identified and validated.

According to the identification and validation of human resources risks in the healthcare, the critical risks include human capital risks, operational risk of human resources, risk of attitude on the human resources unit and individual risks of employees of the human resources unit. The comprehensive model of human resource risks in the field of health that is presented in this study can be a tool for assessing and prioritizing of human resource risks in the organizations under this section and its results can be the basis for human resource risk management action in these organizations.

Measurement as one of the important objectives in developmental domains enables the scholars to study developmental changes and retardation and provides insights into educational solutions. One of the most important and reliable scales for measuring development in younger children was designed by Brunet and Lezine in France; But, to use it in Iran, its reliability and validity are required to be assessed. The present research was carried out to study factor structure, reliability and validity of the scale for Iranian infants of mothers who work at medical centers by considering their job position.

This is a descriptive survey project. Also, given the comparison of the elements of mental and motor scale for two genders in the project, it is also causal-comparative. The research sample include 536 younger children of mothers who work at medical centers (327 girls and 209 boys) selected by convenience sampling.

The results of Cronbach’s Alpha showed an acceptable level of reliability for most of sub scales. Reliability coefficient for each of subscales included: positional control of body 0.76, ocular-motor co-ordination 0.74, listening and speaking language subscale 0.58, sociability subscale 0.77, and Cronbach’s Alpha for total scale 0.89. By using factor analysis, we extracted 4 factors: positional control of body, ocular-motor co-ordination, listening and speaking language, and sociability.

Results of this study showed that children mental and motor development BRUNET-LÉZINE scale has the psychometric properties to be utilized in psychological researches about younger children.

Performance appraisal has always been a fundamental and important process for all organizations, especially for the health, safety and environmental management systems of industrial contractors. The aim of the present study is to construct and determine the psychometric characteristics of the questionnaire of performance evaluation of health، safety and environmental management systems of steel contractors.

The method of this research is qualitative and quantitative. In the quantitative section، the statistical population included all professors who have research research on the subject، which were selected by the available samples. The collection method in the qualitative section included interviewing and reviewing existing articles. In the quantitative section، the statistical population included all of HSE experts who were selected by cluster sampling of 350 people based on Cochran's formula. The research information was collected through a researcher-made questionnaire based on the qualitative section. Content validation methods، convergence and factor analysis were used to evaluate the validity of the scale. The reliability of the scale was assessed by internal consistency and purity reliability methods. Descriptive and inferential statistical methods were used to analyze the data using SPSS software version 22 and LISREL version 8.

The results of exploratory factor analysis showed that the researcher-made questionnaire consisted of seven factors and its validity was in the range of 80 to 100% and reliability was obtained by Cronbach's alpha method of 0.91. The second-order confirmatory factor analysis also confirmed the seven-factor model. This questionnaire was implemented along with the short form of HSE performance evaluation scale for petrochemical contractors، which had a good reliability and validity with 65 items.

 In the present study, a model for evaluating the performance of health, safety and environment management systems of industrial contractors was presented. The developed items are able to evaluate the performance of health, safety and environment management systems of industrial sector contractors.

The study focused on examining the role of the spatial layout of hospital rooms on improving patients' outcomes with an interdisciplinary approach based on data science.

The present research was mixed-method and done through coding in the Python programming environment. The research data included demographic characteristics, patients' history, and environmental characteristics collected through the health information system of the hospital (HIS) and field observation. This was a crosssectional done in 2019 with a sample volume of 330 patients in the Omid hospital. Data correlation was measured by drawing a Heat map and chi-square test with a significant level of (α <0.05). The data clustering was done using the Cluster map.

According to the Chi-squared test results, two environmental characteristics including the number of beds and the view of windows were correlated with the length of hospital stay (LOS). According to the Heat map, the rooms' distance from the nursing station and the ward entrance with the correlation values of 0.69 and 0.76, respectively, compared with the size of the rooms with a correlation value of 0.5 was more correlated to the LOS. The effect of the room length compared to width was greater with 0.52 and 0.48 values, respectively. Either right or left-handedness of the rooms and the beds' distance of the window, did not correlate significantly with LOS.

The results confirmed the effect of rooms' spatial layout on patients' recovery. This research was a (EBD). step in the development of evidence-based design

DT is an approach that can be combined with other BMI tools to innovate in the established pharmaceutical business model.

 The lack of a proper structure in the management of medical equipment can cause a waste of health resources. This article was written due to the importance of medical equipment in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of patients with the aim of investigating the challenges of the medical equipment management structure in Iran.

The current research is a review study that was conducted through searching in reliable scientific sources such as Springer, Elsevier Pubmed, Google scholar and other Persian information sources such as Magiran, SID, Irandoc. Keywords such as Medical Equipment Management, Concentration, Formality and Complexity were used to search Persian & English sources.

The structure of medical equipment management can improve the performance of a hospital and in another sense can be the basis for the evaluation of hospital units. The performance of medical equipment in the hospital is very vital to the main mission of the hospital due to guaranteeing the patient's safety, and the weakness in the performance of this department and the lack of attention to the vital components in this department can make the hospitals face failure or ineffective performance.

The design of the model of the management structure of government medical equipment is needed to improve the structure of the mentioned area and the optimal management of medical equipment.
