One of the ways to provide better health services is training qualified nurses. This is why mastery learning would be one of the most effective educational approaches to realize it. Despite its numerous advantages, the implementation of mastery learning is facing challenges. This study is to examine the effectiveness and the challenges of mastery learning.
<strong>Methods:</strong> This study is a systematic review with an extensive search to find articles from Persian and English databases using the keywords of “education”, “health care research”,“evaluation”, “mastery learning”, “medical education”, and “nursing education” either alone or in combination with each other in the websites of Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Scopus, Medline, Embase, PsycINFO, and SID. In this regard, 138 research papers published from 2005 to 2015 which were in line with the research question were found. After an examination, 16 articles were included in the study. The data from the articles were summarized, classified and analyzed based on the research question.
<strong>Results:</strong> Although mastery learning increases the educational effectiveness, its implementation for reasons such as the applicability to some subjects, time consumption, learners’ various individual characteristics, talented students’ lagging behind other learners, frequent formative assessments, and frequent test-designing require more efforts both by the teacher and the learners.
<strong>Conclusion:</strong> Students raised through this method are competent students having the minimum requirements to perform their duties in the future. Therefore, proper curriculum design, introduction of this approach to teaching institutions and learners, empowerment of teachers, and pilot studies related to the solutions to address its challenges could help in exploiting this approach in theoretical and clinical education.https://www.ijmedrev.com/article_68709_70fd353b77b7d60e032da9f032a5f8cc.pdfBaqiyatallah University of Medical SciencesInternational Journal of Medical Reviews2345-525X2420151201Barriers to Reporting Medication Errors in Iran: A Systematic Review31732168714ENAmir MirsadeghiCritical Care Nursing MSc student College of Nursing University of Bagiyatallah Tehran, IranMarzieh PazokianSchool of Nursing and Midwifery, Faculty of Nursing, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, IranJournal Article20151102<strong>Introduction:</strong> Detection of errors is known as the basis for maintaining and improving patient safety. In this regard, patient safety is a key priority in the health system. Reporting medication errors, in addition to preventing potential harm to the patient, is also considered as a valuable information source for preventing further similar mistakes in the future. Although, there are many benefits and high ethical standards for medication error reports, nurses may have often some doubts in detecting errors for a patient in order to protect themselves from punishment and administrative rules. Thus, paying attention to barriers of reporting and resolving them is essential to the possible extent. This review study has been conducted with the aim of investigating the reasons why nurses refuse to report medication errors in Iran.
<strong>Materials and Method:</strong> This review study was conducted by surveying the studies between 1387-1393 using the keywords reporting medication errors, Iran, barriers to reporting, and systematic review. All possible combinations of key words have been used in the databases such as Iran Medex, SID, Iran doc and Magiran using the Google search engine. These combination were searched for according to Cochran's seven-step model regarding the inclusion criteria, including descriptive articles published in credited journals on the subject of barriers of nurses to report medication errors and the exclusion criteria, including qualitative studies, case reports, review studies, studies irrelevant to nurses’ medication errors, seminars as well as joint studies with other members of the treatment team.
<strong>Findings:</strong> From among 18 studies retrieved, a number of eight studies were excluded from the study regarding the exclusion criteria, and finally 10 articles were analyzed. After analysis of the studies, reporting barriers were divided in three areas related to reporting, management factors, and fear from the reporting consequences.
<strong>Conclusion:</strong> The results showed that the main barrier for not reporting medication errors is fear from managers and nurse educators’ inappropriate feedbacks as well as fear from financial and legal matters. Therefore, medication errors can be reduced by proper planning and management, away from punishment and reprimands, encouragements such as financial rewards, vacation incentives and so on, along with academic and in -service training, and creating a positive learning environment. Moreover, the implementation of a reporting error system in which the personnel feel safe is among other duties of this field.https://www.ijmedrev.com/article_68714_b382b89e74c66ed78b225567cd783261.pdfBaqiyatallah University of Medical SciencesInternational Journal of Medical Reviews2345-525X2420151222Designing and the Validation of the Evidence-Based Nursing Care Instruction in the Nausea and Vomiting of Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy32332968711ENMorteza KameliInternational Travel Medical Center of Iran, Iraninan Red Crescent Society, Tehran, IranMohammad Ali Khoshnevicnternational Travel Medical Center of Iran, Iraninan Red Crescent Society, Tehran, IranJamileh Mokhtari NouriPsychology Department, Faculty of Psychology, Tehran University, Tehran, IranSeyyed Mohammad KhademolhosseiniPsychology Department, Faculty of Psychology, Tehran University, Tehran, IranJournal Article20150909<strong>Introduction:</strong> Nausea and vomiting due to chemotherapy is the most common and severe complications in patients suffering from cancer.

In mental imagery, we create similar mental structures which represent the things which our sensory organs haven’t sensed. Some studies relating to the blind subjects and some applied studies on rehabilitation have highlighted the importance of mental imagery for the cognitive psychologists. Aim of this study is to investigate the mental imagery with FMRI studies on neural structures in common tasks with the normal consciousness range for comparison of neural functional equivalence beyond the neural perception level.
<strong>Methods and Material:</strong> The research was conducted with key words of mental imagery, representation, FMRI in pubmed, google Scholar and Science direct databases and SID database, without time limitation and in both Persian and English languages.
<strong>Results:</strong> 70 original research papers were obtained among which 5 papers were reviewed finally after the evaluation of scientific validity for responding to the research questions. Analysis of the final papers showed that knowledge representation through mental imagery was beyond the perceptional neural functional equivalent.
<strong>Conclusion:</strong> Common neural bases can be searched by designing specific tests in different consciousness levels such as hypnotism, mental imagery, and normal awareness and with FMRI expanding functions.https://www.ijmedrev.com/article_68720_d5dd8da836ae04416a0ff6b5fd5d2525.pdf
