Volume 7, Issue 4 (11-2013)
Abstract

Background and Aim: FRBR is one of the models considered in cataloging and work-to-work relationships are introduced as types of bibliographic relationships present in this model.

This study examines the distribution of dispersion relationships in medical subject areas based on FRBR model in Persian medical sources published from 2006 to 2010.

Materials and Methods: This study is a descriptive survey . Data were obtained from Iranian OPAC ( online public access catalog) . To determine the areas of medical sciences, both LC (Library of Congress) and Dewey Classifications were applied. For data analysis, Excel 2007 was used. Using descriptive statistics, the researcher presented the results in the form of tables and graphs.

Results: According to Dewey Classification, ‘diseases’ was the subject area having the highest number of bibliographic relationships and the lowest frequency belonged to ‘experimental medicine’. The analysis based on LC Classification, however, showed that ‘internal medicine’ had the highest number of bibliographic relationships Botanic, Thomsonian, Eclectic Medicine, Chiropractic and Alternative medicine subject matters had the lowest bibliographic relationships.

Conclusion : Distribution of work-to-work bibliographic relationships in Persian medical sources based on Dewey and LC Classifications is heterogeneous. Despite the obtained apparently heterogeneous results, such a difference cannot be due to differences in the frequency of bibliographic relationships of medical topics because the classification criteria of medical sciences are different in these two systems.

Volume 15, Issue 2 (5-2021)
Abstract
Background and Aim: Medical students, as the largest group of health care providers, should be able to combine their technical skills and professional knowledge to diagnose patients' problems and use it to take a big step towards reducing errors and increase the quality of care. For this reason, a study was conducted to investigate the relationship between health literacy and computer literacy among medical students in Torbat Heydariyeh in 2018.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study with a descriptive-analytical approach was performed in the middle half of 2018 on 201 students of Torbat Heydariyeh University of Medical Sciences (THUMS), who were selected by multi-stage sampling method. Data were collected using the Iranian Adult Health Literacy Questionnaire (HELIA) and the Computer Literacy Questionnaire. Then, the data were analyzed with SPSS software, using descriptive statistics and Chi-square test.
Results: In this study, 175 subjects (87.1%) were female and the rest were male. The mean and standard deviation of age were 21.52±1.30 and 17.11±0/99, respectively. The results of multivariate linear regression showed that the variable dimensions of computer literacy could predict up to 63% of changes in students' health literacy score. The results also showed that the dimensions of basic skills, frequency of computer use and 
self-assessment of working skills with Windows had a significant relationship with students' health literacy (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Considering the results, it is suggested that the necessary measures be taken to increase students' computer literacy by holding workshops and Update educational content in universities; in this way, a step towards increasing computer literacy and consequently, increasing the health literacy of students can be taken.

Volume 16, Issue 4 (10-2022)
Abstract
Background and Aim: In recent years, public trust in health system has been considered one of the performance evaluation indicators of health systems. However, most of the research on public trust in health system is related to developed countries, and research in this regard is limited in Iran. A better understanding of trust in health system and some influential factors helps to develop targeted interventions to increase trust. The present study was conducted to investigate the level of public trust in health system in Rasht County.
Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 680 households (510 urban and 170 rural) were included. The data collection tool was a questionnaire to measure public trust in health system with 30 items and six dimensions, whose validity and reliability were confirmed. Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to compare and analyze the difference in public trust in health system between groups.
Results: The overall score of trust in health system was 66.7 out of 112. The highest score for the quality-of-care dimension was 16.38 out of 28, and the lowest for the cooperation quality of providers dimension was 7.47 out of 12. Among service providers, the highest trust was in nurses and specialist doctors, and the least was in traditional medicine service providers. Women, government employees, people without health insurance, people with excellent and good health status, those who had used hospital services, and those who were satisfied with the last service received had a high level of trust in the health system (P<0.05).
Conclusion: The results showed that despite people’s trust in the expertise and knowledge of physicians and other providers, public trust in health system was relatively moderate, indicating deficiencies in the health system’s performance. Focusing on physician-patient communication and improving communication skills, establishing electronic records and sharing patient information between health service providers, and respecting patient rights can build greater trust in the health system.

Requirement Analysis and Design of an Alumni Relationship Management Solution for Medical Universities
Mohammadhiwa Abdekhoda, Taha Samad Soltani, Leial Ghaderi Nansa,
Volume 18, Issue 6 (2-2025)
Abstract
Background and Aim: Establishing dynamic relationships between graduates and current students should be a high priority for universities striving to progress in the rapidly changing and competitive market of third-generation universities. Due to the lack of effective communication with graduates in Iranian universities and the role of these systems in the technology ecosystem, the aim of this study is to analyze the needs of a graduate alumni management system and propose a conceptual model.
Materials and Methods: The research consisted of two main phases: needs analysis and process and software design. During the requirements engineering, as described in systems analysis and design references, a quick review was first conducted in selected databases regarding the capabilities and use cases of existing studies and the proposed features of innovative graduate alumni management systems. The extracted items from the rapid review were presented in a checklist. Then, functional requirements were extracted through interviews with 10 experts from the university’s educational deputy and faculty, using a two-round Delphi method. In the next stage, work processes were observed, and process owners were interviewed. UML diagrams were used to achieve a suitable description of a good system.
Results: In this study, the requirements were categorized into two main groups, comprising 37 functional and non-functional needs. The functional category included three significant subcategories: basic needs, social needs, and innovation needs. Basic needs encompassed the essentials required for the system’s fundamental operation. Social needs referred to the system’s ability to facilitate user interactions, while innovation needs involved new and creative features that could be added to the system. A software engineering specialist analyzed these functional needs and translated them into system use cases to be effectively incorporated into the system’s development.
Conclusion: The proposed conceptual model of the graduate alumni management system was analyzed and modeled based on user-centered requirements engineering. The proposed model provides a practical document for the effective implementation of a communication mechanism and active interaction between graduates, as well as current students, faculty members, and other staff in an innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem.
