Many countries have been able to create many competitive advantages by successfully implementing Healthcare 4.0. In Iran, the fourth generation of health care has not yet been properly investigated and implemented. Identifying implementation barriers and relationships between them can help decision makers in making appropriate decisions to facilitate Healthcare 4.0 implementing. This research was done with the aim of identifying these barriers and analyzing and relationship between them. Methods: This research was done in 2 stages. In the first stage, using semi-structured interviews with experts and the use of thematic analysis, barriers were identified, and in the second stage, using a researcher-made questionnaire and the method of fuzzy total interpretative structural modeling, a causal model of relationships between barriers was designed to identify the most fundamental barriers. The method of sampling in both stages was judgment and snowball and the sample size in them is 16 and 10 people, respectively. Results: The results of interviews with experts led to the identification of 44 main barriers, which are divided into 7 categories: " barriers due to sanctions", "Financial and economic barriers", "Hardware and software barriers", "Cooperation barriers", "competitive barriers", "management barriers" and "human resource barriers" were categorized. The modeling results showed that "barriers caused by sanctions", "competitive barriers" and "human resource barriers" are respectively the most important barriers and should be given special attention in policy making. Conclusion: The results of the research presented a new perspective on the barriers to healthcare 4.0. This perspective is about barriers related to sanctions and competitive issues. As a result, it is recommended to facilitate international communication, train decision-making and problem-solving skills, and develop knowledge-based activities to remove sanctions barriers. Also, facilitating public-private partnership and facilitating the presence of international companies in the field of healthcare can help increase competition. Manuscript profile -

Hospital managers have to control laboratory performance, identify the bottlenecks, and finally decide which program is necessary for reducing inappropriate utilization of laboratory resources and increasing hospital revenue. Accordingly, study of the workload in clinical laboratories provides them with valuable information to develop and implement policies that improve laboratory performance. Methods: This applied cross-sectional research followed a descriptive-analytical method for analyzing the workload of the clinical laboratory of Amirul Mominin Ali Zabol Hospital in Sistan region in order to investigate the volume of referrals in two years before and after the start of the epidemic. Covid-19 and determining the causes of possible changes has been done. Results: The research findings indicated that the number of inpatients referring to the hospital laboratory has decreased by 18.7% and outpatients by 49.7%, 2 years into the Covid–19 pandemic in comparison with the same period before it, and the number of tests has decreased by 0.025% in the inpatient ward and by 55.13% in the outpatient ward compared to the pre-epidemic period, on the other hand, the average number of test for each person has increased by 21.09% in the inpatient ward and has decreased by 8.9% in the outpatient ward. Conclusion: Based on research results, the Covid–19 pandemic affects the workload of clinical laboratories. Cancellation of elective hospitalization cases, decrease of patients' visits to the hospital, closure of non-COVID wards and clinics, reduction in accidents, increases in economic problems, and uncertainty on the quality of services were among the mentioned factors that decreased the number of patients visiting the hospital.

Exploratory factor analysis test, sample t-test and confirmatory factor analysis with SPSS and PLS software were used. Results: In total, all factors with eigenvalues higher than one were able to explain 91.371 of the variance of 24 items related to the questionnaire. Considering that all values are higher than 0.7, therefore Cornbrash’s alpha of the research variables is confirmed. According to the AVE table, all structures are greater than 5. And as a result, the convergent validity of the model and the appropriateness of the fit of the measurement models are confirmed.

Methods: This study in terms of purpose was applied and in terms of implementation method was descriptive from type of correlation. The research population was the patients with epilepsy of Iran in the 2021 year, which number of 260 people of them were selected as a sample by simple random sampling method. The research tools were included somatic symptoms questionnaire (Kroenke et al., 2002), perceived social support scale (Zimet et al., 1988), childhood trauma questionnaire (Bernstein et al., 2003) and depression, anxiety and stress scale (Lovibond and Lovibond, 1995).

Results: The findings showed that the model of somatic symptoms based on perceived social support and childhood trauma with the mediating of depression, anxiety and stress in patients with epilepsy had a good fit. Also, social support had a significant negative effect on depression, anxiety and stress and somatic symptoms, childhood trauma had a significant positive effect on depression, anxiety and stress, and depression, anxiety and stress had a significant positive effect on somatic symptoms (P<0.05), but trauma childhood had no significant effect on somatic symptoms (P>0.05). In addition, social support with the mediating of depression, anxiety and stress had a significant negative effect on somatic symptoms and childhood trauma with the mediation of depression, anxiety and stress had a significant positive effect on somatic symptoms (P<0.05). Conclusion: According to the results of this study, it is necessary to plan to reduce somatic symptoms in patients with epilepsy by increasing social support and reducing depression, anxiety and stress.
