Introduction: Psychosocial stresses and stresses caused by schizophrenic patients are a significant but common practice that, if left untreated and intervened, can lead to a reduction in the physical and mental health of family caregivers as hidden patients, and The quality of care they provide is effective. Objectives:The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of peer-centered education on psychological burden on family caregivers of schizophrenic patients. Materials and Methods:This study was a clinical trial performed on 64 family caregivers of patients admitted to the military hospital with schizophrenia in 2018.Patients were selected using a purpose-based method and randomly divided into two groups of test and control. For the experimental group, peer educator training was performed for 6 sessions and the control group did not take any action. Finally, the psychological burden of the two groups was compared. P less than 0.05 was considered as a significant level.Result: There were no significant differences between the two test groups between the two variables. In the pre-intervention stage, the mean psychological burden was not significantly different in the two groups of test and control, while immediately and two weeks after the intervention, this difference was significant (P<0.001).Also, the results of the ANOVA test showed significant differences between the two groups (P<0.001). Discussion and Conclusion:Considering the average level of mental burden of the samples in this study and considering that the results of this study indicate the positive effects of peer-to-peer education on the psychological burden of families of schizophrenic patients, it is recommended to use successful experiences of peers as a model with Creating empathy between educator and learner to reduce the psychological burden of families of schizophrenic patients in hospitals and after discharge.
Introduction: Cardiovascular disorders are the first cause of global mortality. Health care providers can save the lives of millions of people by providing timely and appropriate health care and preventing many disabilities. Therefore, it is necessary to use the best education methods to enhance the knowledge and skills of individuals. Objective: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of training on the accurate use of electroshock using demonstration and simulation methods in ambulance and to increase the knowledge and skill of nursing students of Ajay University of Medical Sciences. Material and Methods: This randomized clinical trial was conducted in 2019. A total of 45 students of Aja Nursing Faculty, Tehran, Iran were recruited by purposive sampling method and randomly divided into two experimental and one control group. The intervention included educating in the clinical skills lab by simulation method and in an ambulance through demonstration. A researcher-made tool including a knowledge questionnaire and a checklist was used to assess how to use electroshock in pre-test and post-test with two weeks intervals. Results:The mean score of knowledge and skills in the pre-intervention phase was not significantly different in the three groups (P<0.05), but this difference was significant after the intervention (P<0.05).However, the scores in both the simulation and demonstration groups were higher than that in the control group. Moreover, students' knowledge and skill scores in the post-test phase increased in three groups (P<0.05). Discussion and Conclusion:Educating correct use of electroshock through simulation and demonstration in a real environment enhances the knowledge and skills of nursing students. Further studies with larger samples size and in other health care groups are recommended.
Introduction:In recent years, the attitude of medical students toward learning and evaluation processes is changed.In this regard, new methods of learning and evaluation should be used to actively involve them in such processes.

Introduction: Clinical training is the most important part of nursing education. Improvement of education quality requires continuous investigation of present conditions and identification of advantages and disadvantages. In this regard, opinions of instructors and students, as educational elements, may be effective in future plans. Objectives:This study was performed with the goal of obtaining opinions of instructors and students for improving the level of clinical education and reflecting the outcome to educational authorities. Material and Method:This cross-sectional study was performed on 117 students studying in the final year of their study and 22 faculty members of army nursing staff. The participants were selected through census sampling. The data collection tool was a self-made questionnaire. The validity confirmation and the reliability of available samples were approved and SPSS 16 software was used for data analysis.Results: Significant differences were observed between the viewpoints of instructors and students, regarding education structure and the role of instructors in the field (P< 0.05). No significant relationship was observed between equipment and facility, and individual potency in the field. Discussion and Conclusion:Although the viewpoints of instructors and students regarding the effect of field training for obtaining skills were positive, improvement in the quality of field clinical education requires consideration and attention of authorities. Increase of number of instructors in the field of training, establishment of regular sessions with students, attraction of cooperation of physicians and other staff of hospital for cooperation, supply of welfare facilities and equipment's for clinical environment, review of tools and processes of clinical assessment may be helpful.
