Introduction:  The present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of biophilic design in therapeutic environments in order to improve patients' health characteristics. It may be necessary to rely on biophilic architecture in terms of human-environment interaction to increase environmental quality and psychological impact on patients. Methods: In this study, three main dimensions of biophilic design with its components were assessed in the form of a questionnaire. Participants in this survey included three groups: architects, patients and medical staff, which was conducted in some hospitals in Mashhad. The collected data were analyzed by appropriate statistical methods by SPSS software, t-test and ANOVA test. The aim of this study was to compare the effective factors of biophilic design on the promotion of health characteristics in the therapeutic environment. Result: According to the data and tests performed in all three groups, the rate of direct experience of nature was the highest score of 68%, followed by indirect experience of nature with an impact of 28% and the nature of place and space with an impact of 19%. Demonstrates the high effectiveness of the direct experience of nature commonly shared among groups despite differences. Conclusion: The analytical results of this study indicate that the existence of nature in the human environment has a greater impact and shows the positive relationship between the patient and nature and the improvement of the biological quality of the treatment environment. Therefore, designing a biophilic treatment environment can lead to improved patient health characteristics. Manuscript profile

Introduction: Assessing and quantifying the resources of the health sector and how it is distributed among the regions should be done continuously by policy makers and planners of the health system. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the status and trend of inequality in the distribution of dentists in the cities of Lorestan province in the period 2011-2019. Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, the status and trend of inequality in the distribution of dentists were investigated using Lorenz curve and Gini coefficient. In 2011, the Gini coefficient of distribution of dentists working in the University of Medical Sciences and private sector dentists was also compared. Results: The results showed that in the public sector, Khorramabad city with 4.52 and Koohdasht city with 1.66 dentists per 100,000 populations, have the highest and lowest numbers, respectively. Khorramabad city has the highest number of dentists per 100,000 people in both public and private sectors. The Gini coefficient in the public sector in the period under review ranged from 0.357 in 2011 to 0.56 in 1398. The Gini coefficient in both private and public sectors is 0.53 and 0.567, respectively. Conclusion: According to the results of the distribution of dentists in Lorestan province during the years under study has been unfair. Despite the increase in the average number of dentists, inequality in the distribution of dentists has been increasing. Therefore, it is suggested that distribution policies be reformed to reduce inequality and gaps between cities in the future. Manuscript profile

Introduction: Lack of proper planning in blood supply may lead to irreparable damage of humans. The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal plan for donating, storing and sending blood to hospitals in each period to minimize the cost of set up and design a blood supply chain and its delivery time.Methods: This study is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical methodology. The model was solved with the uncertainty approach using the Epsilon constraint method in GAMZ software. To evaluate the accuracy of the model, a case study was conducted in 5 regions of Mazandaran province and by performing sensitivity analysis on key parameters, its effect on total cost and time of blood transfusion cycle was investigated.Results: The results of this study indicate the high accuracy of the model with the possibility of lateral delivery between hospitals. With a 5% reduction in transport time to 15%, a reduction in blood cycle time and a 25% reduction in this time has 26% reduction in the total blood transfusion process.Conclusion: Lateral blood delivery between hospitals was used as a solution to increase the model's ability to respond hospital's demand and also reduce shortages costs and lack of blood in the blood supply chain. Also, the important parameters of the problem such as blood supply, demand, capacity of each center and related costs in the blood supply chain and the possibility of lateral delivery of blood products were analyzed to validate the model.  Manuscript profile

Introduction: Paying attention to the dual view of citizens on public services is the phobia of bureaucracy, which means a negative image of the public sector in the minds of citizens and their distrust of the public sector. This study seeks to analyze the relationships between backgrounds affecting bureaucratic phobia in one of the universities of medical sciences.Methods: The present study is qualitative and applied in terms of purpose and descriptive in terms of data collection. The method of sample selection is purposeful and snowball. To screen the data, the average opinion of experts on fuzzy logic was used. A questionnaire with a matrix structure was prepared to explore causal relationships between factors. Agents took action.Results: Among the factors, corruption is the main factor and making constructive changes in it can help reduce the phobia of bureaucracy. Also, two factors of strict and inflexible rules and procedures and lack of accurate information of processes have been the most effective factors among other factors, the most effective indicator is the lack of accurate information of processes. The criterion of employees' motivation has the most interaction with other criteria studied. The criterion of gang play in offices has the least interaction with other criteria.Conclusion: Based on the results, politicians and managers should think of measures to align the structure of the bureaucracy in terms of having a hierarchy and division of labor with a rational model; In terms of following the rules and regulations and paying attention to expertise and competency system, do not distance yourself from this model and try to reduce this hierarchy.
