IntroductionAccurate documentation of medical records is one of the important issues during the process of diagnosis and treatment of the disease. It is very important in terms of treatment, legal, educational, financial and research. This study aimed to determine awareness of medical students about principles of medical records documentation.Methods: This descriptive-analytical and cross-sectional study was conducted in 2022-2023 at Zahedan university of medical sciences. The research population included medical students in the preclinical, clinical, and residency levels. The sample size was 260 medical students and the sampling method was quota sampling. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire. The validity and reliability of questionnaire were confirmed. Descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation) and analytical tests (T-test and One-way ANOVA) were used to analysis the research data. Results: The average awareness score obtained by the research community was 64.92±14.02 out of 74. The highest and lowest average scores were respectively related to the principles about the time frame of completing the information and the general principles of documenting the medical record. The test of the relationship between the variables of the research showed that only the relationship between the two variables of awareness level and educational level of students was significant.Conclusion: In this study, the level of students' awareness about the principles of documenting medical records was optimal.

Questions were evaluated on the base of positive or negative answers, in a way that score one were given to positive answers and score zero to negative answers and then each person’s score in each domain was determined. All the survey results were compiled and analyzed with the SPSS using descriptive and analytical statistical method and variance test. Results: Findings showed that the rate of skill in using information technology in students in semester 3 &5 was higher than students in semester 1 & 7 p= (.03). Also mean score of male high in all skills except Word and PowerPoint than female p= (.02).

Introduction: After human resource training, Research is a basis of cultural, social and economical expansion and university is the main basis of research system. Now, there is a great gap between the scientific products of IRAN and many other countries in the world. Thus, we attempted to investigate research barriers from the viewpoint of faculty members of medical and paramedical schools of Zahedan University of medical sciences.Methods: This descriptive-cross sectional study carried out by using a questionnaire. Validity of questionnaire was tested by content validity method and its reliability was evaluated by test-retest method. The questionnaire was given directly to all faculty members (N = 137) and finally, 83 persons answered. Data were analyzed by Excel software and descriptive statistics.Results: Research findings showed that, the majority of faculty members (36.8%) implied that from research barriers, personal factors are ineffective and from their viewpoint other factors of research barriers that have had high level influence was as following: 31.5% organizational factors, 27.7% economical factors, 25.8% supplies factors and 22.5% social factors.Conclusion: According to the importance of research role in developing a country and findings of this research, research authorities must pay attention to the following agents for eliminating constraining factors of research: revision of investigation and approval of research projects and articles’ process, establishment of research facilities and possibilities, reduction of teaching hours and support team researches.Keywords: Research; Universities; Health Personnel.
