Read More BACKGROUND: In the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic era, clinical programs and mandatory hands‑on activities have been supplanted by remote teaching to maintain the fundamental capabilities of medical training and to furnish medical students with quality education. Nonetheless, the satisfaction of faculty members with this training method in the current pandemic has yet to be assessed. The aim of this study was to design a Persian questionnaire with appropriate validity and reliability on cardiology professors’ satisfaction level with virtual education.MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this cross‑sectional study, a questionnaire was devised drawing upon scientific sources and Iranian medical educators’ expertise. Seventeen faculty members in various specialties evaluated the questionnaire concerning face and content validity. Content validity was assessed through the calculation of the content validity ratio (CVR) (values >0.62 were considered acceptable) and the content validity index (CVI) (values >0.79 were considered acceptable), construct validity was evaluated through principal component factor analysis by the Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin (KMO) statistic and Bartlett’s sphericity test, internal reliability was measured through the calculation of Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, and consistency was appraised through the use of test‑retest reliability at two different time points.RESULTS: The questionnaire had a reliability rate of 95%, indicating high internal validity. Concerning test‑retest reliability, the intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.96 (P < 0.001), demonstrating relatively good stability. The CVI was 0.81, and the CVR was 0.85. The KMO measure of sampling adequacy was 0.954, indicating the acceptability of the degree of common variance among the all items.CONCLUSIONS: This Persian questionnaire on virtual education aimed at cardiology faculty members in the current pandemic with its low question count and appropriate domains had high reliability and validity. By knowing the level of professors’ satisfaction with the new method of education, it is possible to take steps to better provide specialized medical education to cardiology residents.

Read More BACKGROUND: Coronavirus disease 2019 is a new viral outbreak in the world. Dentists andtheir assistants are at greatest risk of exposure to the virus, due to close contact with patients anddealing with aerosols. Hence, the aim of this study was to compare the use of personal protectiveequipment (PPE) and supplementary protective equipment (SPE) and observance of the principlesof infection control (PIC) in dentists and their assistants before and after the corona crisis.MATERIALS AND METHODS: This cross‑sectional study was conducted using an online surveyfrom May 6 to 20, 2020. Convenience sampling was used to select individuals. The questionnaire,consisting of four general categories about the use of PPE and SPE and the observance of PICby dentists and their assistants before and after corona crisis, was registered at Porsline website(https://survey.porsline.ir/s/KUt7VQB). Frequencies in each subcategory were calculated andcomparisons were done using Chi‑square test, Fisher’s exact test, and paired sample t‑test. A P < 0.05was considered statistically significant.RESULTS: There were significant differences in the frequency of use of PPE by dentists before andafter corona crisis for oral and dental examination and also dental procedures (P < 0.001). Therewere significant differences in the frequency of use of SPE and observance of PIC before and aftercorona crisis, except for different types of suction types (P = 0.22), dental handpiece (P = 0.66),and dental unit (P = 1). There were significant differences in the frequency of use of PPE by dentalassistants before and after corona crisis (P < 0.001).CONCLUSIONS: Although the frequency of use of PPE and observance of PIC increased amongdentists and their assistants, this increase is not sufficient, especially for dental assistants, and ahigher level of use of PPE and PIC observance in face of highly contagious and life‑threateningviruses such as corona is required.

Female were more likely to suffer from mild‑moderate depression compared to male (oddsratio [OR]: 2.344; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.105–4.972; P = 0.026) and more likely to sufferfrom severe‑extremely severe anxiety (OR: 2.066; 95% CI: 1.019–4.187; P = 0.044). Social mediaexposure was associated with less likelihood to suffer from severe‑extremely severe depression,mild‑moderate, and severe‑extremely severe anxiety, mild‑moderate stress.CONCLUSION: Social media exposure was associated with less depression, anxiety, and stress inthe COVID‑19 pandemic era.

Read More INTRODUCTION: Spread of novel coronavirus (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus2 [SARS‑CoV‑2]) has become a global and pandemic crisis. Some measures such as excessiveuse of disinfectants, increased production of nonbiodegradable waste, and water pollution will bethe consequences of fighting against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‑19), which harms theenvironment. Due to the fact that these effects will be identified in the long term, they may beneglected in the current situation. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the environmentalchallenges caused by the SARS‑CoV‑2 pandemic crisis.MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a review study conducted by search in databases, includingScopus, PubMed, and science direct until early May 2020. Keywords included “SARS‑CoV‑2,”“COVID‑19,” and “Environment.” Studies published in English and conducted in different countrieswere also selected for the analysis. The guidelines published by reputable organizations such asthe World Health Organization, the Centers for Disease Control prevention (CDC), and the Ministryof Health have also been used in this study.CONCLUSION: The results of this study have shown that the COVID‑19 virus, in addition to humandamage and mortality, also affects the environment, and the damages and losses resulting fromthis pandemic may be identified later. Water pollution, increasing chemical pollution in the air, andincreasing the production of nonbiodegradable waste are of these issues. For this purpose, it isrecommended that, in addition to trying to improve the control of this pandemic, other environmentalaspects in disinfection methods and disposal of dry and wet contaminated waste should be donemore accurately and based on standard protocols. Infectious waste, in addition to the problem ofstandard sanitation, will become a major challenge that pollutes the environment. Based on this, itcan be said that if home quarantine is observed voluntarily, in addition to reducing the risk of theSARS‑CoV‑2 and reducing the volume of visits to medical centers, it can be associated with anotherpositive achievement, which is the reduction in waste production and protection of the environment.
