Article Synopsis
- Clinical reasoning is a key competency in medicine that involves using knowledge and skills to diagnose problems, implement interventions, and enhance patient care, making it crucial for medical students to develop this skill.
- The scoping review aimed to summarize existing literature on teaching methods to improve clinical reasoning in undergraduate medical education by analyzing articles published from 2010 to 2024.
- The review included 54 studies that explored various educational strategies for enhancing clinical reasoning, highlighting the need for more precise and larger-scale research to obtain definitive conclusions.
Background: The purpose was to investigate the psychometric features of the Feedback Quality Instrument (FQI) in medical students, emphasizing the instrument's utility for evaluating the quality of feedback provided in clinical contexts and the importance of performing so for medical trainees.
Methods And Material: The Persian version of the FQI was evaluated for content validity through a focus group of medical education experts. The questionnaire's face, content, and construct validity were assessed using Confirmatory Factor Analysis, internal consistency, and inter-rater reliability.
Clinical reasoning is the basis of all clinical activities in the health team, and diagnostic reasoning is perhaps the most critical of a physician's skills. Despite many advances, medical errors have not been reduced. Studies have shown that most diagnostic errors made in emergency rooms are cognitive errors, and anchoring error was identified as the most common cognitive error in clinical settings.

This study was done on master's students in nursing to evaluate challenges of neonatal intensive care nursing curriculum based on context, input, process, and product (CIPP) evaluation model.
Materials And Methods: This study was conducted with qualitative approach, which was completed according to the CIPP evaluation model.
Introduction: Over the past 30 years, recognizing the need and importance of training residents in teaching skills has resulted in several resident-as-teacher programs. The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of this teaching initiative and investigate the improvement in residents' teaching skills through evaluating their satisfaction and perceived effectiveness as well as assessing medical students' perception of the residents' teaching quality.
Methods: This research is a quasi-experimental study with pre- and post-tests, continuing from Dec 2010 to May 2011 in Imam Hospital, Tehran University of Medical Sciences.
Aim: To explore the meaning of Iranian oncology nurses' experiences of caring for people at the end of life.
Materials And Methods: A phenomenological hermeneutic approach was applied. Fifteen nurses working in oncology units were interviewed in 2007 regarding their experiences of caring for people at the end of life.
Objective: To examine the attitudes of Iranian nurses toward caring for dying patients.
Methods: Nurses' attitudes toward death and caring for dying patients were examined by using two types of questionnaires: the Death Attitude Profile-Revised (DAP-R) and Frommelt's Attitude towards Caring for Dying Patients (FATCOD), both with a demographic survey.
Results: The results showed that most respondents are likely to view death as a natural part of life and also as a gateway to the afterlife.
