Abstract

Background and Aim: Cosmetic surgery rhinoplasty, has dramatically been increased during the last two decades. This study aims to explore its effects on the quality of life of individuals gone under the surgery.

Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive and analytical study which was performed as a cross-sectional study. From all plastic surgery clinics in Teheran, 25 clinics were selected randomly as the site of study. In the next step 110 patients undergone rhinoplasty were selected randomly from these clinics. Collected data was analyzed by Spss17.

Results: Findings revealed that, the mean score of quality of life before and after surgery was statistically significant. While mean score of general benefits increased the score of social support and physical health was decreased after the surgery. The most motivating factors for surgery were external factors. In addition there was a positive correlation between quality of life and the time of interview. Also the mean cost of surgery was increased.

Conclusion: Overall quality of life among study population was decreased. It could be because of unnecessary surgeries, medical errors, and etc. The reduction for social support may be resulted from unacceptable consequences of rhinoplasty particularly in terms of appearance. Physical health of respondents was negatively affected by rhinoplastiy surgery. Malfunctions of upper respiratory system after rhinoplastiy surgery is known as the main reason for it. Correlations between the times of surgery and interview suggest a long term assessment of impacts of such surgeries.

The aim of this study was to investigate the role of improving the quality of services in the promotion of brand performance in healthcare industry. 
Materials and Methods: In this study, 392 patients of Tehran hospitals were selected through cluster sampling. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were used for data analysis. Also, to compare public and private hospitals, independent samples t-test was used.
Results: Research findings indicate that the desirable quality of services has a significant positive effect on brand equity; and brand equity has a meaningful effect on brand preference, repurchasing and brand performance.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Virtual networks have become one of the most influential tools in people’s lives, affecting various aspects of life. In medical sciences, with numerous advancements, the use of virtual networks is increasing. However, virtual networks can lead to wastage of students’ time and a reduction in study hours, which negatively impacts their knowledge and practical skills. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the impact of using virtual networks on the knowledge and practical skills of surgical technologist students.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 60 students in the 6th and 8th semester of operating room technology at Iran University of Medical Sciences in 2020-2021. At the end of the semester, the students underwent a comprehensive 40-question theoretical exam to assess their theoretical knowledge. To evaluate the level of virtual network usage, the students filled out a researcher-designed questionnaire. The practical skills of the students were measured based on their internship grades. Normality of the data was assessed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov, and Pearson correlation coefficient test. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software.
Results: According to the findings of this study, there was a significant negative relationship between the level of virtual network usage and theoretical knowledge (P<0.05). This means that with an increase in virtual network usage, the level of students’ knowledge decreased. On the other hand, there was a significant positive relationship between theoretical knowledge and practical skills. This means that as the scores of the comprehensive exam increased, the scores of practical skills (internship) also increased. However, no significant relationship was found between the level of virtual network usage and students’ practical skills (P>0.21).
Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, virtual networks lead to a weakening of students’ theoretical knowledge, as evidenced by the decrease in scores on the researcher-designed questionnaire (level of virtual network usage) and the comprehensive exam scores. Another result of the study was the significant positive relationship between theoretical knowledge and practical skills, indicating that as the comprehensive exam scores increased, the scores obtained in internships also increased.
