Abstract
BACKGROUND AND
OBJECTIVE: Measles
and rubella are included vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. Despite
vaccination coverage, there is the possibility of sporadic cases and mortality,
especially in developing countries. The aim of this study was to examine the
levels of antibodies to measles and rubella among medical students.
METHODS: This cross-sectional study was
conducted on 236 students who were randomly selected in 2012. After filling out
a questionnaire containing demographic information and medical records, 5 cc
venous blood was collected from each individual and IgG antibody against
measles and rubella were tested by using ELISA.
FINDINGS: The mean age of 236 students was
22.12±3.35. 81 cases (34.3%) were male and 155 students (65.7%) were female,
169 (71.6%) and 67 students (28.4%) were native of Mazandaran province and
non-native, respectively. Rate of IgG antibody levels against measles in 123 students
(52.11%), 40 cases (16.94%) and 73 students (30.93%) were positive, suspected
and negative, respectively. This ratio for Rubella were identified in 233
(98.72%), 1 (0.42%) and 2 (0.84%) students, respectively.
CONCLUSION: The results showed that the immunity
level against rubella was acceptable, but it seems that the immunity level
against measles is not enough to prevent sporadic and small outbreaks of
measles. It is recommended that the serological status of measles should be
evaluated for preventive measures.

Abstract
Background and Objective: Respecting the patient's rights is one of the most important components of providing humanistic care and a priority in the field of medical ethics in Iran. Therefore, the charter of patients' rights in Iran was announced in 2009 as a practice guide in this field. This study was conducted with the aim of investigating the realization of patient rights from the viewpoint of doctors, nurses and patients hospitalized in selected departments of Shariati Hospital affiliated to Tehran University of Medical Sciences.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Tehran in 2016-2017 on 487 participants who were selected by convenience sampling method. The data collection tool was the questionnaire of patients' rights awareness. The scores obtained were based on the individual's point of view regarding the observance of the right in question and ranged from 1 (not observed at all) to 5 (completely observed).
Findings: Based on the results of this study, doctors and nurses have reported less realization of patients' rights compared to patients. Patients, nurses and doctors, respectively, agree with the greater realization of patient rights in the areas of observance of justice (4.54±0.96), being polite to the patient (4.17±0.90), and quality of service in a scientific sense (3.37±0.85). In addition, patients reported less realization of patients' right in the areas of responsibility and accountability (3.03±1.59) (p=0.000), and nurses and doctors reported less realization of patients' rights in the areas of attention to the patient's well-being and comfort (3.45±0.99) and (2.48±0.84) (p=0.000).
Conclusion: The findings of the study showed that, in general, the attitude of the patients indicated that the patient's rights were better fulfilled compared to the doctors and nurses. of course, the views of service receivers and service providers were different regarding the degree of compliance with different dimensions of patient rights in the hospital, and it is necessary to prioritize the views of patients as service receivers and main beneficiaries in the interventions, and the service providers should be informed about it and the solutions to solve the existing shortcomings should be identified and appropriate action should be taken to solve them.
