Introduction: Educational failure entails irreparable damage to the educational system, society, family and students, and resulting in frustration, humiliation, incompetence, negative self-concept, and sometimes suicide. The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency and factors affecting the academic failure in Health Faculty Students of Semnan University of Medical Sciences. Methods: In this observational, descriptive-analytic and cross-sectional study, 150 students of three health courses; Public, Occupational and Environmental health were selected through systematic random sampling. They filled out validated questionnaires. Based on the average and conditional terms, the students were divided into two categories; with and without academic failure. Data were analyzed by SPSS 22, using Chi-square, independent t-test and ANOVA at a significant level (p <0.05). Results: The mean age of the students was 22.72 ± 3.4, and the academic failure prevalence rate was 12.7% which was most observed in females (14.44%) and in public health course (14.3%). The significant statistical relationship was observed between academic failure and marital status, educational term and level, diploma grade, being apart from parents, course selection, concentration and physical attendance of students in the classroom (p <0.05). Conclusion: Considering the relatively high prevalence of academic failure and the factors affecting it, it is necessary to take appropriate measures to motivate and increase the accuracy and concentration of students in the classroom, provide facilities and, most importantly, revise the criteria for student recruitment.

Introduction: Due to interaction with the patient, choosing the appropriate teaching method in clinical disciplines like nursing is very important. The aim of this study was to compare the method of role play with routine training methods regarding their impact on long-term learning of nursing students. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted with a control group design on 74 nursing students from Iran University of medical sciences (IUMS) in 2017-18. The students were divided into two control (n=35) and experimental (n=39) groups through simple random sampling. Conventional teaching methods were used with the control group and role play teaching methods were used with the experimental group. In the next semester, each student trained two patients in the hospital. The degree of patient satisfaction with students' trainings was measured as a long-term learning index. Demographics and satisfaction questionnaire were used in this study. The data was analyzed with SPSS (V21) using descriptive and inferential statistical tests. Results: The results indicated that the average satisfaction score of patients with students' training performance was 73.26% in the experimental group and 47.22% in the control group. Therefore, they were significantly different (P <0/001). Conclusion: The findings of this study highlighted the positive effect of Role Play Training on long-term learning of nursing students. Role Play Training can lead to improved presented education to patients and thereby expand the quality of service along with increased patient satisfaction.

Introduction: Academic procrastination as an irrational and voluntary delay behavior is a common phenomenon among university students which is associated with many variables in personality and behavior. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between personality dimensions (neuroticism, conscientiousness) and self-esteem with academic procrastination on students of University of Medical Sciences in Qom. Methods: In this descriptive correlation study during 1396-97, A sample of 194 students from Medical Sciences University of Qom were selected by stratified random sampling method based on gender, six colleges. Data were collected through a standard questionnaire, Neo personality dimension, Rosenberg self-esteem and Savari academic procrastination. Data analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient, independent t-test and multiple regression step by step. Results: There was a significant negative relationship between neuroticism with academic procrastination (P=000, r= -0/310), and conscientiousness with academic procrastination (P=000, r= -0.544), and self-esteem with academic procrastination (P=000, r= -0/336). There was a significant difference between male and female students average scores in neuroticism, conscientiousness and self-esteem with academic procrastination (P=0.01). Finally, the results of regression analysis showed that only conscientiousness predicted academic procrastination. Conclusion: Regarding the findings, planners have to create a positive personality trait in the students by providing a scientific joyful environment in order to increase their self-esteem and, consequently, reduce academic procrastination.
