Introduction: With the Coronavirus pandemic, disability and the students’ absence in clinical settings, the educational system of the Faculty of Rehabilitation Sciences of Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences decided to hold a virtual grand round, teaching the clinical courses to address the shortcomings of clinical education. This study aimed to investigate the level of satisfaction and learning of students from holding the Grand Round. Methods: The present study was quasi-experimental study. The study population consisted of 36 undergraduate students in physiotherapy and speech therapy; The Grand Round in specific cases of the disease was presented to students, in the clinical training. Data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire to assess the level of satisfaction with the virtual grand round and an electronic test to assess learning from the topics. Results: The majority of students were moderate to highly satisfied (more than 70%) with the virtual grand round in speech therapy and physiotherapy groups. There was a significant difference between test scores before and after the grand round of the speech therapy group (P= 0.002), whereas, in the physiotherapy group there was no significant difference between the scores before and after the test (P= 0.3). Discussion: Regarding the level of students' satisfaction retaining the Grand Round and increasing their level of knowledge, it is suggested that virtual group discussions be held in clinical education courses in other faculties of rehabilitation sciences and related fields, especially during pandemic conditions of coronavirus and the impossibility of face-to-face training.

Introduction: The evidence show that the attitudes to any specialty can be improved as a result of a skillful and interested presentation and negative attitudes toward psychiatry can be the particular target in clinical and non-clinical courses [1]. The present study aimed to compare the attitudes and knowledge of psychiatric residents about psychotherapy before and after the psychotherapy rotation. Methodology: The present study was a descriptive research using causal-comparative method. The population consisted of all psychiatric residents in the universities of Tehran in 2018-2019. The study was a census and all residents were asked to participate if they were willing to. From different universities of medical sciences including Iran, Shahid Beheshti, Tehran, Social Welfare and Rehabilitation Sciences, 27, 24, 25, and 41 subjects were included in the study, respectively. The total number of subjects was 117. The researcher-made questionnaire was used for three groups of residents to assess their psychiatric attitudes and knowledge: the residents who passed the theoretical and practical psychotherapy courses, the residents who have not yet passed the psychotherapy course, and those who were passing the theoretical course. Cronbach's alpha coefficients for internal consistency of attitude and knowledge were 0.953 and 0.985, respectively. Findings: one-way variance analysis test was used to analyze the variables. According to the results of this test, there was a significant difference among the psychiatric residents in terms of knowledge and attitude (p<0.01). Moreover, regarding the means obtained for each group, it can be said that the residents who passed the theoretical and practical courses of psychotherapy had higher mean in attitude and knowledge than the other two groups; the difference was statistically significant. Conclusion: in any educational relationship, the attitudes of educators and learners play a key role in effectiveness and success. The psychotherapy course can change the negative stereotypes about psychiatry in psychiatrists and provide an important opportunity to change their negative attitudes.

Introduction: Dementia is a clinical syndrome of decline in cognitive function. Dementia with various neuropsychiatric symptoms can have a large impact on both clients and caregivers, one of which is wandering behavior. Wandering is a neuropsychiatric symptom that is difficult to control, challenging, at risk of loss, causes various risks of fracture, and even death. Wandering management still uses traditional methods until now. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Social Leisure Activity in reducing the risk of wandering. Methods: The design of this study was quasi-experimental with a pre-post test one group. The study population was 47 elderly and a sample of 34 elderly dementia along with their caregivers who were outpatients at the Psychogeriatric Clinic of Dr. RSJ Radjiman Wediodiningrat Lawang. The sampling technique used purposive sampling method. The independent variable in this study was the Social Leisure Activity and the dependent variable was wandering risk. The instrument used  Elopement Screening to assess the risk of wandering, the KATZ Independence Index, and the Caregiver Training questionnaire. The intervention was carried out at home by the caregiver in the form of a series of activities carried out for 4 weeks with a frequency of 3 times a week and 45 minutes per activity. The caregiver was given training as well as a demonstration of wandering and social leisure activity before the research was conducted. Data were analyzed using Paired-Samples T-Test. Results: The results of the analysis showed that there were significant differences (p = 0,000) on the value of the risk of wandering before and after an intervention. Training data on the caregiver gave a result that there was a significant difference (p = 0,000) in the caregiver's knowledge before and after training. Discussion: The risk of wandering in dementia elderly could be reduced by providing regular physical activities that prioritize elements of social interaction. Social Leisure Activity is an effective activity to be developed because it is easy to implement and efficient because it does not require high costs. Conclusions and Suggestions: Social Leisure Activities can help reduce the risk of wandering if done regularly and continuously. Social Leisure Activity can be used as an alternative for caregivers and elderly dementia to keep on doing activities.

Abstract Background: Familiarity with and management of drugs side-effects are among nurses’ main educational needs with respect to pharmacological care in psychiatry departments. This study aimed to determine the effects of psychoactive drugs education through mobile phone and group discussion on nursing students’ attitude, satisfaction, and learning.Methods: This interventional study was done in Shiraz University of Medical Sciences in 2018. The participants included 40 nursing students passing the mental health apprenticeship in their 6 th educational semester. The 32 students with inclusion criteria were randomly divided into two groups each containing 16 subjects. The first group underwent the educational intervention through group discussion within the first two weeks of apprenticeship. The second group, on the other hand, received the educational intervention through mobile phones over the second two weeks of the course. The students’ learning, attitude, and satisfaction were assessed before and two weeks after the intervention and were compared two groups. After all, the data were entered into the SPSS statistical software, version 16 and were analyzed using descriptive and inferential (paired and independent t-test) statistics. P<0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.Results: The results showed a significant difference in the two groups’ rate of learning before and after the intervention (p=0.00). However, no significant difference was found between the two groups in this regard (p=0.158). The results also revealed a significant difference in the two groups’ satisfaction with the instruction method before and after the intervention. A significant difference was also observed between the two groups in this regard (p=0.043). Finally, the results indicated that the students in the mobile phone group developed a significantly more positive attitude after the intervention compared to baseline (p=0.038).Conclusions: The study results demonstrated that mobile teaching methods could be effective in students’ learning, satisfaction, and attitude. Thus, further studies are recommended to be conducted on other medical and nursing apprenticeships, so that such methods can be used in clinical education in case of obtaining similar results.
