- چکیده انگلیسی: Introduction: E-learning can result in the promotion of efficiency in the educational processes. However, the development of E-Learning may fail to succeed if the users’ attitudes are not considered. The users’ attitudes are very effective in the adoption and use of E-learning. The purpose of this study was to determine the attitudes of faculty members of Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences on E-Learning.Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted, using a stratified proportional random sampling. The participants consisted of the faculties members of Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences. The instrument for data collection was a researcher made questionnaire based on similar studies in two parts: part one with eleven background items, and part two with twelve attitude items. The validity of the questionnaire was approved, using experts’ comments and the reliability was found to be 0.73, using Cronbach's Alpha test. The collected data were analyzed by SPSS-21, using independent T-tests and ANOVA with α=0.05.Results: Maximum scores were 47.23 percent of the total score. Three items, “saving the students’ time”, “solving many problems of teaching” and “saving the teachers’ time” achieved the highest mean score, respectively. Only the faculty members with experience in E-learning education had better attitudes (p=0.003).Conclusion: The attitude of faculty members of Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences toward e-learning was not appropriate.

- چکیده انگلیسی: Introduction: Health care is one of the most important sectors in the development of each country and disparities in their distribution will reduce the level of development. The aim of this study was to examine the access to healthcare and degree of development in health care resources in the west of Iran in 2011.Method: This was a cross-sectional and retrospective study. The study setting was 51 cities of five western provinces of Iran, including Kermanshah, Kurdistan, Ilam, Lorestan and Hamadan. For assessing these towns in terms of the degree of development in healthcare resources by the numerical taxonomy technique, 23 indicators of health resources were selected and obtained from the statistics yearbook. The data was analyzed by EXCEL software.Results:Our study showed that the highest and lowest access to health care based on numerical taxonomy belonged to cities of Kermanshah (0.61) and Salas Babajani (1.07). Also, most towns of Ilam, Lorestan and Kurdistan provinces are underdeveloped and developing, while the most towns of Kermanshah and Hamadan provinces were placed in the developed region.Conclusion: This study showed that there was a large gap between the cities of one province and also among the provinces in terms of the access to and degree of development in health care resources. Therefore, it is suggested that a higher priority in terms of health resource allocation should be placed on the developing and underdeveloped areas in order to reduce these disparities.Keywords: Disparity, Degree of development, Health care services, West of Iran

- چکیده انگلیسی: Objective: The prevalence of burn in children is more than other age groups. This study aimed to "investigate the factors associated with the burn degree and total body surface area (TBSA) in under five-year-old children of Kermanshah ".
Methods: We studied under five-year-old children hospitalized in the burn center of Imam Khomeini hospital in Kermanshah from September 2014 until March 2016 for 18 months. Required Information extracted by trained staff based on existing data. Researcher-made checklist was used to obtain information. The ordinal regression has been applied to evaluate factors related to TBSA and burn degree in children.
Result: In general, 262 children were input of the study so that 226 cases (86.3%) were in under two-year-old group. The majority of cases were boys by 66.8% (175 cases). Hot liquid was the most reported cause of burns by 68.7% of all cases. Most of the burn incidents (43.1%) with high burn degree occurred at 7 am to 2 pm. Girls were exposed to higher burn degrees more than boys. Factors such as being boy (OR=2.83), less than 2 years old age (OR=4.91) significantly increased TBSA. Also, living in rural (OR=5.17) and delay of treatment (OR=41.35) significantly increased burn degree.
Conclusion: To reduce the incidence and complications of burns in children, interventions should be considered to change the environmental and individual factors.- انتشار مقاله: 13-09-1396

- چکیده انگلیسی: Background
Infant mortality rate is widely used to assessing the health status of population in both developing and developed countries. The aim of this study was to identify the main factors affect infant mortality rate in ECO countries for the years 2005 to 2012.
Methods
A panel data model from ECO countries from 2005 to 2012 used to identify the some of key explanatory variables (GDP per capita, female labour participation rate, public expenditure as % of total health expenditure and total fertility rate) effect on infant mortality rate. These data was obtained from World Bank and World Health Organization. The data analyzed by STATA v.12.
Results
This study indicated the GDP per capita and public spending had a negative and significant effect on infant mortality in studied countries. A higher total fertility rate is also associated with higher infant mortality. In addition, our analysis showed there is not association between female labour participation rate and infant mortality.
Conclusions
GDP per capita, public expenditure as % of total health expenditure and total fertility rate were identified as the main determinant of infant mortality in ECO countries in study period. We hope the results of current study provide useful information for health policy- makers to better understand the main factors affecting on infant mortality.- انتشار مقاله: 08-11-1393

- چکیده انگلیسی: Introduction
Althoughthere is a consensus that the economic burden of burn injury is high, but few studies have conducted about cost of burns injury among pediatric in developing countries. We explored the main factors influencing on hospital costs and length of stay (LOS) associated with pediatric burns injury in Kermanshah, Iran.
Methods and Material
We performed a review ofmedical records from 105 pediatric burn (16 years and younger) admitted to burn center at Imam Khomeini Hospital in Kermanshah, Iran. Univariate and logistic regressions were employed to identify the main factors affecting hospital costs and LOS associated with pediatric burn injury. Also, the data analysis was done by Stata statistical software.
Results
The results showed theoverall mean hospital costs and LOS was 9,853,758 IRR and 7.5 days, respectively. Also, the LOS, gender and Burn Body Surface (BBS) were identified as the main independent predictor of costs and the cause of burn, BBS and age were the main factors affecting LOS.
Conclusion
This study highlights that the independent predictors affecting hospital costs and LOS associated with pediatric burn injury in Kermanshah. Also, our study indicates the BBS was the main factors affecting hospital costs and LOS for the study population.- انتشار مقاله: 08-09-1393

- چکیده انگلیسی: Methods
Using time series data of national level (1967 to 2012 years), we explored the association between total fertility rate, GDP per capita, number of physician per 1000 populations, female labor force participation rate, percentage of people living in rural regions and mean years schooling for each people with infant mortality rate of Iran. These data were obtained from Central Bank of Islamic Republic of Iran (CBI) data bank and Iranian statistical center. Time series analysis was done for this purpose.
Results
This study showed that there are positive relationships between total fertility rate , percentage of people living in rural regions with mortality rate of infant. In addition, IMR had inverse relationships with number of physicians and mean years of schooling. The per capita GDP and female labor force participation rate had not significant correlation with IMR.
Conclusion
Many predictors of infant mortality were identified. The total fertility rate, number of physician per 1000 populations, percentage of people living in rural regions and mean years schooling of each people were strongly associated with infant mortality. These findings may be very useful for policy makers that how death of infant can be decreased.- انتشار مقاله: 03-10-1393
