Background: Critical thinking is the ability to ask appropriate questions and gather relevant information. It enables rational judgment and problem-solving for physicians and nurses. For the first time, this study examined two major groups of caregivers at the patient's bedside in terms of the relationship between critical thinking and self-efficacy. Methods: This was a descriptive-analytical and cross-sectional study conducted in 2021. The sample was taken from Qazvin university of medical sciences’(QUM’s) nursing and medical students through stratified random method. It was performed using structural equation method (n=377). Data collection tools included: demographic information, Ricketts critical thinking questionnaire, and GSE-17 questionnaire. Finally, data were analyzed through the correlation coefficient and multiple regression tests using SPSS22 software at a significance level of 0.05. Results: Results indicated that the model established at this step demonstrates good fitness. In this model χ2 = 1919.91, df = 89, χ2 / df = 2.14, RMSEA = 0.05, NFI = 0.63, GFI = 0. 77 and CFI = 0. 76. The structural equation model's standard estimation coefficients show that all the existing paths are at a significant level (CTH: CRV 0.96, CTH: COM 0.94, CTH: SFE -0.61; P-value< 0.05). Finally, the regression analysis showed an inverse effect of critical thinking on self – efficacy. Conclusion: The study showed that critical thinking had a direct effect on self-efficacy. In addition, these two features have a significant effect on increasing the efficiency and making the right clinical decisions in medical and nursing groups. Therefore, upgrading these skills by updating curriculum will ultimately improve healthcare outcomes provided by these two specific groups.

Background: Nowadays, since many health care organizations are facing a crisis of declining productivity and labor force stagnation, productivity can be improved through identifying and strengthening the components affecting the labor force productivity and performance. Thus, the present study was aimed at determining the effect of intellectual capital on innovative performance with the mediating role of health staff’s empowerment in Qazvin University of Medical Sciences. Methods: This is a descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study carried out in 2021. Three hundred and four staff of the Health Department and Health Networks participated in the research by the available sampling method. The Bontis questionnaire was employed for measuring the intellectual capital, the Spritzer questionnaire for measuring staff’s empowerment, and the Huang and Li questionnaire for measuring innovative performance. Moreover, for preliminary data analysis, SPSS25 Software was used as well as AMOS software for structural equation modeling at a significance level of 0.050 %. Results: The results of the path coefficient among the model variables on each path, corresponding to the research hypotheses, are positive, revealing a positive relationship among the research variables. The path coefficient of the direct relationship between intellectual capital and innovative performance was equal to 0.767 (P-value < 0.001). Moreover, the relationship between intellectual capital and empowerment was equal to 0.306, and between empowerment and innovative performance was equal to 0.153, both of which were significant (p < 0.001). Furthermore, indices of fit including NFI = 0.652, RMSEA = 0.064, GFI = 0.710, and CFI = 0.769 exhibited a relatively good fit of the final model. Conclusion: Given the direct relationship between model variables, the University of Medical Sciences’ managers and health officials should provide the bed for improving the capacity of human resources and innovative performance through developing intellectual capital besides creating a platform to play an effective role in the organization. Accordingly, effective and innovative performance based on responding to the human resources’ changing needs in all sectors may be imagined.

Thus, the present study was aimed at determining the effect of intellectual capital on innovative performance with the mediating role of health staff’s empowerment in Qazvin University of Medical Sciences. \u0000Methods: This is a descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study carried out in 2021. Three hundred and four staff of the Health Department and Health Networks participated in the research by the available sampling method. The Bontis questionnaire was employed for measuring the intellectual capital, the Spritzer questionnaire for measuring staff’s empowerment, and the Huang and Li questionnaire for measuring innovative performance. Moreover, for preliminary data analysis, SPSS25 Software was used as well as AMOS software for structural equation modeling at a significance level of 0.050 %. \u0000Results: The results of the path coefficient among the model variables on each path, corresponding to the research hypotheses, are positive, revealing a positive relationship among the research variables. The path coefficient of the direct relationship between intellectual capital and innovative performance was equal to 0.767 (P-value < 0.001). Moreover, the relationship between intellectual capital and empowerment was equal to 0.306, and between empowerment and innovative performance was equal to 0.153, both of which were significant (p < 0.001). Furthermore, indices of fit including NFI = 0.652, RMSEA = 0.064, GFI = 0.710, and CFI = 0.769 exhibited a relatively good fit of the final model. \u0000Conclusion: Given the direct relationship between model variables, the University of Medical Sciences’ managers and health officials should provide the bed for improving the capacity of human resources and innovative performance through developing intellectual capital besides creating a platform to play an effective role in the organization. Accordingly, effective and innovative performance based on responding to the human resources’ changing needs in all sectors may be imagined.","PeriodicalId":198049,"journal":{"name":"Evidence Based Health Policy, Management and Economics","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133926917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Background: The most well-known classification of the cost of diseases is direct medical cost. The aim of this study is to investigate and analyze direct treatment costs of patients with Covid-19 by hospitals affiliated with Ilam University of Medical Sciences. Methods: This was a descriptive-analytical, cross-sectional study performed retrospectively. The hospital expenditure information in Ilam province from March to October 2020 was used. Cost information related to all patients was collected and classified and reviewed using Excel 2016 software. The average direct treatment costs of hospitalized patients were also determined. Results: The direct costs of treatment in hospitalized patients in Ilam were estimated at $ 2349272.094 (98669427959 billion Rials). The per capita direct medical costs were calculated to be $ 1228.056 (51578373 million Rials(. The largest share of the cost related to pharmaceutical services and the share of basic insurance was equal to $ 934.570 (39,252,109 million Rials). Conclusion: Results of the study indicated that the treatment costs of patients entering Ilam province are high, and the highest cost concerns pharmaceutical services. Taking necessary measures to prevent and control the spread of coronary artery, using the most cost-effective drug interventions and reducing unnecessary hospital stays of patients can increase the efficiency of financial resources and reduce direct medical costs in Ilam province.
