Evidence-based medicine (EBM) plays an important and dominant role in promoting effective decision-making in the health system. This study was aimed to evaluate the EBM performance among health-care workers (HCWs) in hospitals in Iran. In this study (a cross-sectional study), participants were 2800 HCWs in hospitals. A researcher-made questionnaire was designed, and judgments of 10 experts were used for the improvement of content validity. The reliability of the questionnaire was assessed by the test-retest method (α = 0.85). Data were analyzed using the descriptive statistics, -test, and one-way ANOVA, in SPSS.16 software. Eventually, 1524 questionnaires were completed (response rate 54.4%). The results of the study show that 62%of participants have not accessed scientific journals, 52% of them have difficulties using the Internet at work, guidelines were not reachable for 76% of them, and about 80% have not access to databases. About 39% of participants were not well informed about databases of EBM,asing the facilities such as workforce, equipment, physical environment, and accessibility can have a great impact on the improvement of the activities associated with EBM. Iran's Health System Reform Plan (HSRP) were initiated in public and hospitals affiliated to Medical Sciences Universities in June 2015. The purpose of the present paper is to provide a critical analyse of the HSRP and its outcomes. The study was carried out as a review critical analyse in 2019. The pertinent articles were searched for in Science Direct, PubMed, Ovid, and Google Scholar using keywords "health sector," "reform plan," "health system reform," "health services," "health care system," and "Iran." Published articles in scientific national and international journals in Persian and English language, of which the full-texts were available, were entered into the study. Finally, from a total of 75 articles obtained, 45 studies were carefully reviewed. Several factors, which impact in the success of Iran's HSRP such as social-economic and political outlooks, lack of official information and a comprehensive management system, in addition to failure to extend continuous performance control, economic sanctions against Iran. Other factors are limitations on financial transactions between Iran and the rest of the world due to the sanctions, relying merely on a few instructions, and negligence of the required infrastructures. In terms of advantages of the plan, relative decrease in patient's share in medical expenses, improvement of emergency wards, and relative decrease in the rate of C-section operations are notable. Better implementation of Iran's HSRP entails the provision of resources and facilities such as stable and adequate resources, proper management of available resources, payment mechanisms reform, attracting, and facilitating private sector's participation.Better implementation of Iran's HSRP entails the provision of resources and facilities such as stable and adequate resources, proper management of available resources, payment mechanisms reform, attracting, and facilitating private sector's participation.Negative psychological outcomes have been consistently associated with quarantine measure and lockdown. This article tries to look at the psychological implications of quarantine and lockdown and then touches upon how social aspects lead to psychological effects unaddressed for various communities of the people surviving in vulnerable conditions. The objective of this study was to review the psychosocial implication of quarantine and lockdown among Indian community who are facing a double burden of mental and economic crisis. Databases for relevant studies were searched in PubMed and Google Scholar with key term "quarantine," "mental health," "lockdown," and "psychosocial." Few newspaper reports related to quarantine and psychosocial implication have also incorporated. Home and facility quarantine were imposed on people in order to control and check the spread of this infectious disease. This strict imposition not just led to various other counter effects that were negative in nature, but it is predicted to have long-lasting social, economic, and psychological effects too. As social diversities lead to varied mental health adversities, a broader umbrella needs to be created in order to protect every community dealing with mental health issues due to the pandemic. In order to address the mental issues of the vulnerable classes, the issue still remains untouched, and this leaves us with a question of are we doing enough for each individual. A team of clinical psychologist, psychiatrist, and sociologist come forward to combat this mental health impact of COVID-19 outbreaks and make this quarantine tolerable for the public with appropriate solutions. Microteaching is a teacher training technique where a teachers get a constructive feedback from peer or faculty in order to improve their teaching skills. CID44216842 Microteaching is conducted at the departmental level. By evaluating the components of microteaching, better teaching skills can be developed in postgraduate (PG) students. The objectives of this study were to determine the pattern of teaching skills and to evaluate the components of teaching skills of microteaching in PG students. It was a retrospective record-based study done over a period of 1 month. Microteaching assessment records of 34 PG students of the department of community medicine were analyzed. Teaching skills including setting induction during the class, lesson planning, presentation, and use of audio-visual aids were found to be satisfactory. Students lacked the skills of interaction and summarization of the topic. PG students' performance with many components was satisfactory, but still, there is a scope for improvement. Internalization of microteaching skills can make doctors a better teacher, a better learner, and a better health educator.PG students' performance with many components was satisfactory, but still, there is a scope for improvement.
