This study aimed to compare various dimensions of social well-being in medical and paramedical students of Guilan University in 2015. Methods: This study conducted on 489 students with stratified and random sampling method by The Keyes social well-being questionnaire. The internal reliability and validity were confirmed in different studies. Data analysis was performed with descriptive and analytical statistics by using SPSS16. Results: The findings in relation to the different dimensions of social well-being showed that the highest mean scores in both medical and paramedical students were, respectively related to “ social integration” and “ social actualization” , and the lowest average scores were related to “ social coherence” . Despite the observed differences, findings revealed that apart from the “ social contribution” dimension between medical and paramedical students; there is no significant difference in other dimensions (P˃ 0. 05). Conclusion: The results of this study can be considered by managers to provide the necessary planning and the required arrangements improve the social health of students, especially in the dimensions that have had the lowest average score.

and Objective: Nursing reports is one of the most important legal documents that representthe general condition of patients. Nursing reports should be complete and precise; because you can rely on the time of accusation on. In this survey, we want to audit the nursing reports in intensive and general wards. Methods: This survey is cross-sectional which asses the patient’ s case in general and intensive wards with an evaluated checklist of health ministry. Our survey includes 250 patient’ s case and nursing reports of 124 nurse consist of 105 women and 19 men. Findings: This survey showed that the mean score of reports was 54. 77± 38. 12. Nurses with a master degree were significantly higher scores than nurses with a bachelor degree (P=0. 047). Mann-Whithney exam results showed no significant difference between general and intensive wards (P=0. 187). The nurse’ s efficacy with experience less than 10years was more than others (P=0. 001). Conclusion: In general the relationship between education level and precision is obvious so the role of education with higher quality was undeniable, although we can trust younger nurses.

Background and Objective: Regarding the fact that elderly people are risk averse to many drugs and surgeries, the most important option for treating motor system disorders and improving their quality of life is physical therapy. The management of these relationships requires the acquisition of a profound understanding of a system of drivers, key factors and key variables that influence its formation, which is the main focus of this research. Method: The research process consisted of four phases of identification and introduction of the system, structuring the structural effects of interactions and analyzing variables and determining key variables. So, by referring to the scientific and professional experts and using the structural analysis of cross-effects with the micro-macro software, 30 variables were identified in the template pattern and for determining the key variables with the aim of future management of the relations between the two groups. Findings: Accordingly, among the 30 variables studied, "educating the elderly with improvement through physical therapy as a driving force and variables such as "the role of physical therapy in the rehabilitation and independence of the elderly, restoration of exhausted tissue with the completion of physical therapy, reduction Drug dependence by physiotherapy, government health policies for the care of the elderly through physical therapy, immunization of the elderly by preventing physical illness by performing physiotherapy, Self-actualization of the elderly by applying rehabilitation policies (physiotherapy) Its key variables are the highest In management practices, there is a future relationship between physiotherapy and the quality of life of the elderly. Conclusion: Obviously, among these variables, investing in variables in the domain of regulatory variables will be more preferable, since they are relatively equally impressive and capable of manipulating and influencing them. Of course, with these two criteria, risk variables may also seem appropriate to manage the system because they can be easily manipulated and, on the other hand, have more impact on the system. But the point here is that these variables are, in terms of high impact, little sustainability and no investment value. As a result, the system was unstable.

Background and Objective: Improving the nutritional knowledge of individuals is important in creating a desirable nutritional attitude and can lead to the observation of desirable health behaviors.

Background and Objective: Blood suking arthropoda such as animal ticks transmit pathogenic agents to human and other animals. They inject saliva into the skin of their hosts and cause dermatitis. In this case report, we present a dermatitis case caused by the larval hard tick. Case report: The Five-member family referred to Ali-ebn-Moosar-Reza Health-care center in Babol due to dermal complications. They complained of irritation, itching and the pain caused by tiny live arthropoda biting. We caught samples of larval tick from their clothing, body, and home that were being identified as the larval hard tick. Conclusion: This case report reveals the importance of arthropods causing dermatitis in human. Infestation with ticks may be accompanied by clinical signs such as itching, severe irritation, etc. Further studies would be necessary to better understand of reaction types that occur after a ticks bite.

Background and Objective: The nutritional behavior of students influences on their health and social development. Proper diet and physical activity are their most important protective health behavior. Since, college life years are critical period on the eating behavior changes, therefore, we studied on the frequency of food consumption in paramedical students. Method: This cross-sectional study was performed on 322 paramedical students of Babol University of Medical Sciences from October 2011 to February 2012. They filled a personal data questionnaire (age, gender, place of living, etc) and food consumption frequency. Data were analyzed by SPSS 18. Findings: From 322 students, 218 (67. 8 %) and 104 (32. 2 %) were females and males, respectively. The highest and lowest frequency of food consumption in a month belonged to fruit and nuts groups, respectively. The mean frequency of processed food consumption was significantly higher in dormitory students than non-dormitories (P=0. 002). Also, fruits and vegetables were consumed by students living in non-dormitories more than those in dormitories (P=0. 03). Conclusion: With regard to the results, proper food consumption in non-dormitories is higher than the dormitories. Therefore, public education, particularly education in schools is suggested to improve food consumption patterns.
