Abstract
Introduction: Cardiopulmonary arrest is one of the main medical urgencies. Studies show that 20% to 30% of patients could be resuscitated via an efficient cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Training CPR through interprofessional method could lead to improving the performance of resuscitation group. The aim of this research was to study the effects of Interprofessional training on resuscitation group's teamwork performance. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study of nonequivalent control group design performed in Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences in the year 2010. At first an Interprofessional study guide for CPR education was developed. Then 60 health care employees including physicians, nurses, anesthesia technicians, and operating room technicians were selected through stratified sampling and were divided into two control and intervention groups. The control group was trained via the routine method, and the intervention group was trained through interprofessional method using the study guide. A checklist was designed for assessing teamwork performance. Then, pre-test and post-test was administered for both groups. The gathered data was analyzed by SPSS software using Mann Withney U Test. Results: The findings revealed that intervention group’s score of teamwork performance increased significantly compared to the achieved score in pretest (p=0.00). After intervention also, teamwork performance score for intervention group was significantly higher than that of the control group (p=0.00). Conclusion: Education along with other professions and using additional active learning methods could lead to the improvement in teamwork performance. This kind of education can improve the relationship between professions and train a compatible group of responsible professionals which can bring about a high quality health care service to the patients and lead to decreasing the side effects of diseases.

Abstract
Introduction: Breast self-examination is the only way in access for early diagnosis and control of breast cancer in its primary levels although most women do not perform this examination regularly. This study was performed To compare The effect of education by peers tot hat of health care personnel on knowledge and obstacles of performing breast self-examination among undergraduate students.
Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 112 students of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences were selected randomly and allocated in to two groups. A pre-test and two post-tests were taken from them. Data gathering tool was a questionnaire made by researcher including general information and demographic data of modules under investigation, know ledge assessment test, and the test of obstacles to perform breast self-examination. Two to three subjects were selected as peer instructors in peer education group andthenTrained. Students of two groups were educated by peers and personnel of health group independently. The first post-test was held after the sessions were held and the second was held after 6 weeks. Data was analyzed using statistical tests of chi2, paired-test, independent t-test, and Repeated Measures ANOVA.
Results: The mean scores of breast self-examinations knowledge immediately after education in peer education group was 18/05±1/25 and in personnel of health group was 16/9± 2/1. There was a significant difference between two groups (P=0.002, t=3.27). The mean scores of breast self-examinations knowledge six months after education in peer education group was 16/6±1/75 and in personnel of health group was 16/9±2/1. There was a significant difference between two groups (p=./0004,t=2/90). The mean scores for alterations in anxiety, mentality, and knowledgeable factors in peer education group were higher Than that of health care personnel group, immediately after education. This significant difference was also applicable about knowledge.
Conclusion: Since the efficacy of training breast self-examination by peers is higher than the education by health care personnel, it is recommended to employ this educational method more Than before especially in youth Trainings.
