Abstract
Background and Objectives: Human resources is a key factor in achieving the Millennium Development Goals. Lack of indicators and standard tools for monitoring and evaluating human resources may cause limitations in achieving these goals. This study was done to develop evaluation indicators of human resources in the health sector.
Methods: The present study was carried out using the Delphi technique to extract the indicators of human resources evaluation in 2017. To conduct this study, three independent stages including a review of theoretical concepts, preparation of initial indicators of human resources evaluation, and consensus building were undertaken. The data were collected by a panel of 12 experts and representatives of related organizations in three rounds, with a scorecard designed to score from 1 to 10. In each round, the indexes that attained at least 8 out of 10 by two thirds of the experts were confirmed in the final model.
Results: In the first stage, 220 indicators were identified. The final model of human resources evaluation had 45 indicators in 11 main criteria. Four criteria were accepted at the stage of entrance to job market, (qualified applicants for health education, accreditation, capacity and outsourcing of health education institutions, approval and licensing). Five criteria were confirmed during the work (main indicators of availability and distribution, activity, productivity of labor force, waste and renewal, desirable governance on the information system of labor). Two criteria were accepted at the exit stage (transfer and withdrawal).
Conclusion: Despite the complexity of the human resources assessment, three different stages of the life cycle of the workforce (input, active labor force and output) should be considered for evaluation and monitoring. The indicators presented in this study make it possible to assess and monitor the health workforce.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Quantitative and qualitative improvement of human resources inequality have a significant effect on achievement to health system goals. The purpose of this study was to investigate the trend of geographic, supply, and gender distribution inequality of human resources of the Ministry of Health and Medical Education (MOHME) in Iran.
Methods: In this descriptive study, the trend of human resources of the Ministry of Health during the years 2009-2015 was investigated based on gender, level of education, and type of employment. In order to study the inequality, Lorenz curve and Gini coefficient index were used. Data were collected from the Human Resources Office of the Deputy of Management Development and Resources of the MOHME and analyzed by Excel 2013 and Stata-14 software.
Results: In the present study, women had the highest portion with a growth rate of 6.66% in 2015 and a Gini coefficient of 0.29 except in 2011. The highest and lowest growth rate compared to the base year in 2010 was related to specialist doctors (83.12) and general practitioners (-19.61), respectively. The lowest and highest Gini coefficient was related to the associate degree (0.26) and subspecialty (0.45), respectively.
Conclusion: The present study was the first study to investigate the trend of changes in the human resources characteristics of the MOHME at a national level. Since this study only considered the quantity of the trend of human resources changes, it is recommended that the quality of human resources be investigated in the future studies.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: A significant portion of the total health expenditure is related to medicines. Evaluation of medication system indicators forms a basis for modifying the consumption pattern and cost containment. Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the trend of medication consumption indicators in Iran.
Methods: In this descriptive-cross-sectional study, medicine consumption per capita was calculated based on the medicine type, medicine form, and treatment category. The data were extracted from the Pharmacological Statistics of the Food and Drug Administration and the Statistics Center of Iran between 2012 and 2015. Catzung categorization was used for treatment categories. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and annual growth index by Excel 2013 software.
Results: During the study years, the highest medicine consumption per capita was related to metformin 500 (18.52), ranitidine 150 (15.45), and adult cold (15.29). The highest average consumption per capita in different treatment categories was related cardiac medications (97.65). The lowest and highest growth rates were related to glibenclamide 80 with -12% in 2014 and metformin 500 with 16.9% in 2013, respectively. Tablets were the most widely used form of medicine.
Conclusion: According to the results, medicine consumption per capita in Iran is higher than developed countries. Cardiac and diabetes medications have a high consumption per capita in Iran compared to other medications. Therefore, in order to rationalize drug prescription, strengthening the clinical evaluation system is recommended by developing and implementing clinical guidelines for common and high-cost diseases.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: In the field of medicine, job satisfaction holds significant importance, as it plays a vital role in the quality of healthcare services. This study aimed to assess physicians' job satisfaction levels and identify the related factors.
Methods: This cross-sectional survey study was conducted online in 2023 among 1,100 Iranian physicians using a respondent substitution method. Physicians answered the questions regarding themselves and their closest physician friend, with whom they maintain regular contact and interactions. Satisfaction was categorized using a Likert scale into two scales: sufficient satisfaction (very high and high) and insufficient satisfaction (very low, low, and moderate). Factors affecting job satisfaction among physicians were determined using multivariable logistic regression.
Results: Among the 2,200 physicians, 24.9% (547 individuals) of the physicians were satisfied with their profession, while 75.1% (1,653 individuals) had low or moderate (insufficient) satisfaction. The odds of male physicians being satisfied with their profession were 1.54 times higher than female physicians. Factors including interest in medicine, the amount of time spent practicing medicine, sufficient income, low occupational stress, high job stability, no reduction in professional autonomy compared to the past, migration status, time dedicated to practicing medicine in public and private sectors as well as in academic activities, pursuing further education, and the physician’s income were all positively and significantly correlated to job satisfaction (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Job satisfaction among Iranian physicians is significantly influenced by various factors such as interest in medicine, adequate income, job stability, and reduced job stress. The highest level of satisfaction was observed among male physicians. Improving working conditions and reducing job stress are essential to improving job satisfaction and the quality of healthcare services.
