Introduction: The curriculum of Operating Room Master of Science in Iran is novel, so it requires constant evaluation as well as quality assurance and promotion. The present study aimed to comparing the curricula of Master of Science in Operating Room in Iran and Master of Perioperative Nursing in selected Australian universities.Materials and Methods: Necessary data was collected through an extensive search in Websites of universities of Melbourne, Adelaide and Latrobe and correspondence with them, English and Persian databases between 2000 -2020. The four-step model of George Beredy was used to assessment the curriculum.Results: The most important characteristics of the Australian postgraduate Curricula were lack of entrance exams, full-time and part-time education, at least two years of nursing work experience in operating rooms as a licensed practical nurse. The number of courses was more with flexibility in choosing courses. While in Iran Taking the Iranian University Entrance Exam, non-consideration of operating room work experience, and not entering the orientation or specialization in the graduate encyclopedia, Full-time education were features of the senior operating room curriculum.Conclusion: Comparing Iranian and Australian educational systems revealed a significant difference in programs and Curricula offered in both countries. In order to eliminate the shortcomings and promote the field in Iran, it is recommended to the planning officials, to pay attention to the clinical work experience, to use the capacity of the selective-specialized unit and the dissertation in order to become specialized, different research methods and to offer some special courses in virtual form.

Introduction: The emergent Covid-19 disease with conspicuous prevalence is putting the healthcare workers' job security at risk. The preventive behaviors in every individual have a close relationship with his/her risk perception of the risk factor. Hence the present study has been undertaken aiming at determining the Iranian healthcare workers' risk perception of the Covid-19 disease at the beginning of the crisis and the relevant effective factorsMaterials and Methods: This anonymous online survey was conducted in summer, 2020 using available sampling method among the Iranian healthcare workers. The data was collected via online-social networks using a researcher-made questionnaire containing demographical specifications, risk perceptions, with five sub-scales including cognitive, cultural, political, social and emotional factors. Data analysis was done in spss software 16.Results: From 165 participants, the age group (20-49 years) with 84% and the females with 60% constituted the majority of participants. The average risk perception score of the healthcare workers was 66.43±8.17. The Spearman correlation coefficient showed the significant direct relationship between the risk perception score and all the sub-scales at 0.01 significance level. The political and cultural factors had the highest correlation with the personnel risk perception (r > 0.75).Conclusion: At the beginning of the crisis, Health workers did not have an excellent risk perception of the emergent Covid-19 disease. It seems that at the onset of a crisis, training is necessary to increase the risk perception of employees.

Introduction: Clinical education is known as a central part of professional training which combines knowledge, skill, attitudes, values and professional philosophies. Clinical instructor aims to develop clinical experience and strengthen educational system. In operation room, clinical instructor roles are more different and sophisticated in comparison to other clinical department because of an interactive, dynamic and challenging atmosphere as well as teamwork, specific physical space, and less instructor control over student practice. To determine the characteristics of clinical instructor in operating room, the current study was conducted. Materials and Methods: This was a qualitative content analysis study conducted from 2015 to 2017. Participants were stakeholders of clinical education in operating room from medical universities of Khorasan Razavi. To collect data, sampling based on purpose was performed by semi-structure interview. Of note, obtained data from participants was analyzed by MAXQDA 2007 software with continuous comparative method. Results: From data analysis, it was reported three themes including effective instructor with 12, neutral instructor with 7, and ineffective instructor with 11 categories as well as a general theme named as a nuclear role instructor. Conclusion: The most important roles of clinical instructor are finding a right place, students' acceptance into the surgical team, providing learning opportunities in order to gain technical skills and clinical competence. Therefore, to develop quality in clinical education, it is strongly recommended that clinical instructor have some vital characteristics in operating room including clinical experience, continuous active presence, communication skills, authority, acceptance and popularity.
