Introduction: One of the most influential factors in student rehabilitation is the measures put to work by faculty members for education and application of curriculums. Given the direct effect of such measures on academic and social performance of medical sciences students, the purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between classroom management styles and academic rehabilitation with the mediating role of psychological capitals among students of Bushehr University of Medical Sciences.
Methods: In this descriptive, correlational study, 340 students of Bushehr University of Medical Sciences were selected by means of partial stratified sampling method in 2015-16 academic year. Subjects responded to academic rehabilitation, classroom management styles, and psychological capitals questionnaires. The reliability of these questionnaires had already been confirmed in previous studies. Data were analyzed in Lisrel software using descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results: The indirect effect of interactive management style on academic rehabilitation (0.19) was significant (p<0.01, t=5.95). The indirect effect of non-intervening management style on academic rehabilitation (0.12) was significant (p<0.01, t=4.12). The indirect effect of intervening management style on academic rehabilitation (0.18) was significant (P<0.01, t= -5.29). Based on the results, RMSEA, AGFI, GFI, and X2/df were 0.06, 0.94, 0.98, and 2.36 respectively, all indicated good fit of the model.
Conclusion: According to the results, it seems that students’ academic rehabilitation will increase by giving them more opportunities to exercise their own personal interests in academic affairs and classroom management and to interact more with their faculty members and classmates and also by boosting their academic abilities.
