Changes in society’s needs have increased individuals’ desire to be independent and receive health care at home. Home health care (HHC) is one of the main components of realizing these ambitions. However, there is a serious concern about the state of development of the HHC industry in Iran and the quality of its services. This study aims to explore the barriers to the development of HHC in Iran. This qualitative study with a conventional content analysis approach was conducted in Tabriz, Iran, from October 2019 to March 2020. Twenty-one key stakeholders including nurses, home health directors, physicians, policy-makers, patients, and their families participated in the study. Participants were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using a focus group discussion (FGD) and 18 semi-structured in-depth interviews and analyzed using Graneheim and Lundman’s techniques. Data collection continued until saturation was reached. Three main themes emerged from the analysis: quality management challenges, insufficient infrastructure and policy, and political issues. The findings show that applying standard strategies to monitor the quality of services, paying attention to infrastructure, and having a clear framework for policy-making are beneficial for the development of the HHC industry. Health managers can monitor and upgrade the quality of HHC services by defining standards and assessment indicators, as well as providing comprehensive data. It is suggested that legislators consider the principles of community-based accountability, justice, and accessibility their top priority. Moreover, policymakers need to develop a roadmap to reform policies to create the conditions for the development of this industry.

This paper presents a method for complex evaluation of higher education institutions based on a generalized volume of m-simplex calculation. Every kind of activities of higher education institutions (educational, scientific, innovative, etc.) determines an axis in the multidimensional space used to build the m-simplex. After evaluating higher education institutions in the specified m-activities, the points are put on the respective axis. M-simplex with vertices in these points is built. The generalized volume of this m-simplex, which is calculated based on the Cayley-Menger determinant, defines the integral quantitative assessment of higher education institutions’ activities. To verify the specified method for evaluating higher education institutions, we reviewed well-known evaluation methods and described some types of activities that could be used as a basis for a definition of the axes on which the m-simplex is built. The research component of higher education institutions’ activities is determined by the volume of articles published and their citations in international scientometric databases. The educational component relates to the quality of graduates, their competitiveness in the labour-market. The international component concerns the participation of higher education institutions and their departments in international programs and projects. The described method could be used to monitor the activities of higher education institutions and their separate structural subdivisions. The results of the monitoring are important for a comprehensive evaluation of scientific, educational, international, innovative and other types of activities of higher education institutions in a particular region and the country as a whole. In this article, we have formed a list of indicators, according to which several Ukrainian higher education institutions were evaluated. Besides, the comparison of quantitative evaluations with ratings of higher education institutions in international systems of university activities evaluation was made.

The research methodology is based on socio-communicative, informational approaches, which enabled scientific understanding of the essence, tasks, main components of the process of developing an advertising campaign for higher education institutions and evaluating its effectiveness. Results. Today we can state that there are significant changes in the field of higher education: competition among higher education institutions has intensified, new specialties have emerged and, most importantly, entrants and their parents have become more serious in terms of quality of education, orientation to the modern labor market. educational environment, psychological and emotional comfort. Undoubtedly, an important factor in the prestige of higher education, its status in the educational system of the city and country, reputation, image, prestige – intangible assets of the university – are becoming increasingly important and require action to strengthen and develop them. Dividends in the effective management of the advertising campaign will be – brand recognition, high competition, stability. Summing up, I would also like to draw attention to some aspects of the technology of organizing advertising campaigns and their documentary support. The expediency of starting work on the project to develop a concept and create the actual text of the project, which spells out: goals, objectives, portrait of the target audience, activities, resources (financial, personnel, technical), deadlines, preliminary performance evaluation, etc. The effectiveness of an advertising campaign depends on a number of factors. Corporate communications specialists should prepare a draft advertising campaign, present and discuss the idea and progress of the project with the administration of higher education. Based on the results of advertising campaigns, it is necessary to evaluate their effectiveness and compile detailed reports, do "work on errors", adjust / replenish partner bases. Qualitative maintenance of project documentation emphasizes the level of professional competence of specialists. All this helps to structure and identify the effectiveness of advertising campaigns of higher education institutions.

Quality Of Higher Education

Scientific and reasonable evaluation of the comprehensive quality of higher education students provides a guarantee for the pertinent development of quality education in colleges, and offers an aid for students to determine goals and directions of development. Therefore, this paper first constructs an evaluation index system (EIS) for the comprehensive quality of higher education students, and then builds up an evaluation model for that quality based on fuzzy comprehensive evaluation (FCE). The FCE algorithm was designed in details, and applied to a real example. The application results show that the FCE can scientifically evaluate the comprehensive quality of the students from multiple aspects and levels. The research overcomes the difficulty in the comprehensive quality evaluation of college students, and enriches the theoretical and practical results in this field.
