Read More BACKGROUND: Responsibility of individuals in adapting to life events depends on the intertwinedcooperation of intellectual and emotional capacities, and a person’s success in life depends on hisemotional responses. Given that health‑care providers are at the forefront of providing health services,they need to improve their job performance with better control of their emotions and better socialrelationships. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between emotional intelligence,social responsibility, and job performance in health‑care providers and caregivers.MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross‑sectional correlational study was performed on 270 healthworkers working in the western cities of Isfahan province in the first quarter of 1998 by randomclassification sampling method. To collect information, two questionnaires of Bradbury emotionalintelligence, responsibility, social responsibility, whose validity and reliability had been proven inprevious studies, and job performance scores of the samples were used. The collected data wereanalyzed using descriptive tests and Pearson correlation.RESULTS: The participants were 270 health workers and caregivers with a mean age of 34.54 ± 7.26.87.5% of the samples were female and 21.5% were male. The mean score of social responsibilitywas 124.95 ± 10.41, the mean score of emotional intelligence was 125.58 ± 15.86, and the meanscore of job performance was 86.91 ± 9.0.18. The results of Pearson correlation showed that all fourcomponents of social responsibility and total emotional intelligence have a significant correlation atthe level of 0.01. Total emotional intelligence and each of its components did not show a significantcorrelation with job performance. Between social responsibility and job performance of health workers,only the moral component significantly predicts job performance (r = 0.133 and P = 0.026).CONCLUSION: Although the results of the study showed that the job performance, socialresponsibility, and emotional intelligence of the study group were desirable, the score of somecomponents of social responsibility and emotional intelligence is lower than their maximum score.In addition, according to the results of the study that showed the relationship between emotionalintelligence and social responsibility and some of their components with job performance, improvingthe knowledge and skills of health‑care providers and caregivers in the field of social responsibilityand emotional intelligence and their components seems necessary.

Therefore, the educational objectives of public healthbachelor’s programs should ensure that they acquire the capabilities necessary for this purpose.This study identified the educational objectives that are essential for these students and comparedthem with the current curriculum in Isfahan, Iran.METHODS: This needs assessment study was conducted in two phases. In the first phase, theessential educational objectives were identified using a qualitative approach, which involved eightfocus group discussions held by a group consisting of experts of the public health headquarters andpublic health network administration offices of Isfahan province and the public health graduatesworking in the province’s comprehensive health service centers, who were chosen using the purposivesampling method (n = 59). In the second phase, a comparative study was performed by turning thelist of essential educational objectives into a checklist and using it to compare these objectives withthe objectives in the current course plan in the examined curriculum. In the end, a list of educationalobjectives not included in the current curriculum of the public health bachelor’s program was created.RESULTS: The focus group discussions produced 433 educational objectives in the cognitivedomain, 79 objectives in the affective domain, and 179 objectives in the psychomotor domain, whichwere arranged in eight competency categories. Comparison of the essential educational objectiveswith the current curriculum showed that the current curriculum does not cover any of the essentialobjectives regarding care for the age groups of 18–29 and 30–59 and the first aid and only partiallycovers essential objectives in other competency categories.CONCLUSION: This study found that considering the requirements of first‑level health servicesand the tasks expected from public health graduates to be providing these services, the currentcurriculum does not cover all essential learning objectives and should be revised to meet additionalessential educational objectives.

This study aimed to evaluate the health literacy of health‑careproviders and its relationship with strategies of using health literacy in the provision of health education.MATERIALS AND METHODS: This cross‑section correlational study was carried out on a groupof health‑care providers in Isfahan, Iran, in the second trimester of the Persian year 1397 (2018).Participants were selected by multistage sampling, for which two questionnaires of Test of FunctionalHealth Literacy in Adults and inventory of strategies of using health literacy in education were applied.The validity and reliability of the research tools were formerly approved. In addition, data analysis wasperformed in SPSS version 21 using Pearson’s correlation coefficient and linear regression model.RESULTS: In total, 230 participants with a mean age of 34.32 ± 7.71 years were entered intothe study, 92.9% of whom were female and 7.1% were male. The mean health literacy score ofthe participants was 79.60 ± 12.41. In the sections of knowledge, attitude, and performance wererelated to the use of health literacy education strategies, and we obtained the means 5.20 ± 1.94,43.11 ± 4.11, and 28.96 ± 6.73, respectively. Moreover, Pearson’s results were indicative of asignificant relationship between health literacy of health‑care providers and knowledge (r = 0.245;P < 0.05) and performance (r = 0.208. P < 0.05) regarding the use of education strategies. However,no significant association was found between health literacy of health‑care providers and attitudetoward the use of health literacy education strategies (r = 0.081; P = 0.225).DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: While the results showed that 75% of health‑care providers hada favorable level of health literacy, and despite the proper attitude toward the use of health literacyeducation strategies, the knowledge and performance of the participants were estimated at < 60% inthis regard.
