“…Assessment of the status of research projects carried out at Tehran University during 2004 -2006 showed that the results of most projects (62%) were published in domestic journals (23), which is inconsistent with the present findings. The cause of discrepancy between the results is that researchers usually aim at publishing their findings from the beginning of the project (before research funding), while in case of residents' dissertations, students and professors may only consider them as part of the syllabus (23).…”

Background: Dissertations or theses are valuable sources of information, which play an important role in scientific development because of their specific nature and characteristics. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the status of medical students and residents' dissertations in terms of contribution to scientific development in Kerman University of Medical Sciences. Methods: This cross-sectional, analytical study examined the status of medical students and residents' dissertations, submitted to the Medical Faculty of Kerman University of Medical Sciences during 2012-2015. First, the research deputy of Kerman University of Medical Sciences provided the dissertation information. Then, the information was analyzed in terms of study design, study type, extraction of Persian and English articles, publication in domestic and international journals, and indexing in reputable scientific databases in two groups of medical students and residents' dissertations. SPSS was used for all statistical analyses. Results: In total, 643 dissertations were studied, including 342 (53%) residents and 301 (47%) medical students' thesis. Overall, 267 (41.5%) dissertations were published as articles in domestic and international journals. The findings showed that 13.4% of articles were indexed in the Scopus database. The mean scores of medical students and residents' dissertations were 19.22 ± 0.70 and 19.15 ± 0.85, respectively. Conclusions: Despite the large number of medical students and residents' dissertations submitted to Kerman University of Medical Sciences, a limited number of dissertations were published as scientific and research papers, and the number of articles indexed in international journals was insignificant. Thesis writing is generally a unique opportunity for students to learn research skills and methods. In addition, publication of thesis findings in domestic and international databases can lead to scientific development.

Background: Cardiac insufficiency is one of the leading causes of mortality in the world and affects quality of life more than other chronic diseases. Cardiac self-efficacy can be considered for improving the quality of life of patients with this disease. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between quality of life and cardiac self-efficacy in patients with heart failure. Methods: This descriptive correlational study was performed on 227 patients with heart failure who referred to the cardiac clinics of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences affiliated hospitals, Iran, 2016-17. Sampling was done in a simple random way. The data gathering tool was comprised of three parts: demographic data questionnaire, Sullivan cardiac self-efficacy questionnaire, and Quality of Life questionnaire. Data were analyzed by SPSS software version 22. Results:The mean score of self-efficacy was 58.45 ± 25.92 and the mean score of satisfaction and importance of quality of life was 69.73 ± 18.72 and 82.76 ± 15.46, respectively. The results of this study showed that the importance of quality of life and satisfaction with quality of life are related to cardiac self-efficacy (P < 0.001). Pearson correlation coefficients showed a direct correlation between the scores of quality of life dimensions and the score of cardiac self-efficacy (in all cases, P < 0.001). Conclusions: There is a positive and significant relationship between quality of life and cardiovascular self-efficacy in patients with heart failure.

“…Policy transfer is intended to understand a process or set of processes in which different types of knowledge related to the institutions, programs, policies or systems in one governance sector or level are used to develop policies in another governance sector or level, like in the decentralization of DOT to the PHC service. [9][10] In João Pessoa-PB, Brazil, the policy transfer of DOT was done in 2007 to the PHC services. Formerly, the treatment was centralized at the Complexo Hospitalar de Doenças Infectocontagiosas Clementino Fraga, the referral unit (RU) in the state.…”

Qualitative study that aimed to analyze the discourse of 15 district managers about knowledge and information related to the transfer of the Directly Observed Treatment of Tuberculosis policy in the city of João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brazil. The empiric material, collected in May and June 2013 through interviews, was analyzed according to Michel Pêcheux's Discourse Analysis. Despite contradictions, misunderstandings and silences observed in some discourse about this policy, the interviewees value the matricial support and the shared discussions involving the professionals, the management and the users, with emphasis on the rearrangement of the service in operating the Directly Observed Treatment of Tuberculosis. The need for investments in professional qualification is clear, with a view to refining the work process through the reorientation of practices from the perspective of continuing education, which represents a strong device for the exchange of knowledge and innovative proposals with a view to effective tuberculosis control.
