Read More BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Attention to the development of children as the future generation thatleads to the upbringing of productive human resources is an important subject. Development hasdimensions that a child should acquire the skills related to them in proper age. Otherwise, he may beaffected by developmental delays. There are different factors influencing children’s developmentaldelays and this study is carried out to evaluate the developmental conditions of 1‑year‑old childrenin the Isfahan and its effective factors.MATERIALS AND METHODS: In a historical cohort, 725 children born in 2013 were selected usingmulti‑stage random sampling from health centers licensed by Isfahan Medical University and followedup to 1‑year and their related specifications were extracted from ages and stages questionnaireand their families’ files. SPSS 20 software and Pearson and Spearman correlation coefficients,independent t‑tests, ANOVA, multiple linear regression and analysis of covariance were used foranalyzing the data.RESULTS: The minimum and maximum scores of development were observed in the personal‑socialdomain (52.38 ± 9.1) and fine motor (56.06 ± 5.9), respectively. The results showed that the childspacing has direct relation with development in fine motor domain (r = 0.2, P < 0.001), personal‑socialdevelopment (r = 0.197, P = 0.001), and problem solving domain (r = 0.18, P = 0.002). The scorefor the development in gross motor skills had a direct correlation with the weight at birth (r = 0.129,P < 0.001). Breastfeeding also improved personal‑social development (P = 0.024). Sex (P = 0.024)and living place with communication skills also showed significant relations (P < 0.001).CONCLUSION: The factors such as the child’s sex, feeding in the first 6 months of age, living inurban or rural areas are effective in delayed development. Considering these factors to preventadverse effects of the elements and rapid identification of children with delayed development as wellas timely therapeutic interventions are essential in the health care system.

Read More INTRODUCTION: Shoulder dystocia is one of the obstetric emergencies that are accompanied toserious risks for mother and fetus. It necessitates making the method of training of shoulder dystociamanagement more efficient, i.e., better management and giving services with higher quality. Thus,this study was carried out to compare the impact of training by simulation and oral technique onthe skill of the employed midwives in obstetric clinics at Mashhad city (Iran) in shoulder dystociamanagement during 2012.METHODS: The current research is a double‑group clinical trial that was conducted on 51 members ofthe employed midwives in the obstetric clinic at Mashhad city in 2012. The questionnaire of personalspecification and awareness about shoulder dystocia and practical examination (objective‑structuredclinical examination) were employed as tools for data collection. The learners were divided into twogroups by randomized allocation. Training was done by the presentation of lecture in the oral contentgroup and a short movie was displayed at the end of it. The shoulder dystocia management techniquewas simulated in another group and through role‑playing of instructor application of moulage (station)training was conducted. The period of the training course (4 h) and content of the educationalworkshop was identical for both groups. The practical examination was held for the learnersbefore and immediately after training course. The given data were analyzed by means of statisticaldescriptive tests including Mann–Whitney U‑test and Wilcoxon test via SPSS software (version 16).The significance level was considered as (P < 0.05) in all cases.RESULTS: The total mean score was significantly increased for the variable of shoulderdystocia management skill after intervention in both groups (P < 0.0001). Similarly, the results ofMann–Whitney U‑test statistical tests indicated that total mean score for the variable of shoulderdystocia management skill after the intervention was significantly greater in simulation group thanin an oral group (P = 0.040).CONCLUSION: Training in simulated delivery room by means of role‑playing is an efficient methodfor training shoulder dystocia management skill, so it is recommended to use this program in thetraining of this skill.

Read More BACKGROUND: The study aimed to assess interdisciplinary communication among variousEducational and Research Departments of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences (IUMS) in clinicalmedical sciences using social network analysis.MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study was carried out using scientometrics method andinterdisciplinary communication network analysis. Interdisciplinary network of 1298 articles in medicalsciences published in Journal of Isfahan Medical School was evaluated using macro‑ and micro‑levelcriteria of network analysis. Ravar Matrix, UCINET, and VOSviewer software were used to analyzethe interdisciplinary network of medical sciences articles.RESULTS: Findings showed that “Students Research Committee” and “School of Medicine,” theaffiliations of the medical students in general practice with scores of 272 and 197, “Epidemiology andBiostatistics,” “Community Medicine,” and “Internal Medicine” with 170, 101, and 99, respectively,possessed the first ranking of productivity index in scientific communication. Furthermore, inbetweenness centrality index, “Epidemiology and Biostatistics” (3427.807), “Students ResearchCommittee” (2967.180), and “Community Medicine” (1770.300) have an appropriate position inthe network. Based on the centrality index, “Epidemiology and Biostatistics” (22.412), “StudentsResearch Committee” (22.185) as well as “Community Medicine” and “School of Medicine” (both21.554) acquired the least amount of distance with other nodes in network.CONCLUSION: Given the increased specialization in medical fields in recent years, communicationbetween researchers with various specializations and creation of interdisciplinary or multidisciplinarydepartments had turned into an undeniable necessity. Therefore, communication between educationalor research departments can facilitate the flow of information between researchers; and consequently,the top ranking departments in this study had more participation in scientific production of IUMSand getting more scores in annual evaluation by scientometrics department. This network analysisshowed that researchers in various medical fields closely collaborate with each other and are ableto connect with <2 intermediates.
