Abstract Introduction: Evaluation of job professional competencies after graduation and during employment is very important for performance excellence in education and service. Objective: The present study was conducted to evaluate the professional competencies of graduates of librarianship and medical information in the master's degree in 2018. Methods and Materials: The study is descriptive-analytical. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire based on the statement of Professional Competencies of the Medical Libraries Association in 2017, which was completed by 62 graduates and 23 colleagues after confirming its validity and reliability. To analyze the collected data, SPSS software version 22 and Pearson correlation coefficient, paired t-test, independent group t-test and one-way analysis of variance were used. Results: The results of the study showed that the degree of job competence of graduates is relatively desirable both in terms of themselves and their colleagues and the difference between them is significant (P value <0.05) so that colleagues assess the level of ability of graduates. Most of them evaluated the highest level of capability from the perspective of graduates in the field of intelligence services (3.62 ± 0.65) and from the perspective of colleagues in the field of research and evidence-based practice (4.26 ± 0.81). Came. Also, the importance of graduates' job competence was the same for both graduate and colleague groups. There was a significant difference between job competence and its importance from the perspective of both graduate and colleague groups (P value <0.05), meaning that expectations were higher than perceptions. Women had more management and leadership skills (3.46 ± 0.61) and professionalism (3.27 ± 0.61) than men. Graduates who entered the graduate program with a bachelor's degree in librarianship or medical librarianship were more proficient in information service skills, information management skills, training and educational design skills, and management and leadership skills than other graduates. Graduates in the areas of information management, management and leadership, and research and evidence-based practice were more capable than graduates. There was a positive correlation between graduates' work experience and job competence and its importance (r> 0.05). There was a positive correlation between age and management and leadership skills (r = 0.031), research and evidence-based practice (r = 0.030), health information professionalism (r = 0.025). Conclusion: The expectations of graduates in the workplace are more than the level of capability they show. Also, graduates in new areas of information and professionalism need to be upgraded; Therefore, revising and editing the educational curriculum in this field based on the above, the use of new teaching methods along with holding additional training courses in these fields can help improve the abilities of graduates.

(Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, School of Management and Medical science, 2024/03/11) Khateri, Hakimeh; Abdkhoda, MohammadHiwa; Jafari, Tohid; Heidari, Akram; Library& information Science; Zarea Gavgani, Vahideh; Habibi, Shafi
Introduction: Spiritual health is one of the four pillars of health, and examining the state of scientific production in this field is crucial for informing scientific, educational, and research policies. One of the uses of visualization is to identify the interactions of scientific disciplines and research trends worldwide by analyzing published research documents. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the scientific relationships between spiritual health and other scientific fields, and to analyze the scientific cooperation network among authors, institutions, and countries in the field of spiritual health. Methodology: The current research was a descriptive study with a scientometric approach utilizing data visualization methods. The statistical population of the study consisted of 3152 articles indexed in the Scopus citation database. The sample population, based on the inclusion criteria, comprised 1102 articles in the field of spiritual health from 2012 to March 2023. To search for articles using the keywords "spiritual practices," "spirituality AND health," "spiritual therapies," "spiritual healings," and "spirituality AND healing" was used. Raver Primap, NetDraw, U.C.I.Net and Vos Viewer software were used to illustrate, draw, and analyze cooperation networks. UCINET was used to calculate density and descriptive statistics. Results: Based on the findings of the current research, six important topic clusters were identified in the field of spiritual health, with the clusters of "spirituality" and "cancer" ranking first. The keywords "spirituality," "religion-religiosity," "quality of life," and "depression" have the highest density in the co-occurrence network of words in the field of spiritual health. Among the countries of America, England, and Saudi Arabia, the one that exhibits the most indicators of centrality is the most effective in promoting the network of spiritual health. The spiritual health network, with a density index of authors (0.013), institutions and universities (0.0160), and countries (0.116), shows very low cohesion in cooperation networks regarding the issue of spiritual health. Conclusion: The incoherent network structure observed in the scientific outputs in the field of spiritual health indicates that the full potential of scientific cooperation in this field has not been realized. There is a need for policy-making to promote increased research cooperation among researchers, countries, institutions, and universities worldwide. This will enable the utilization of tacit and mental knowledge, as well as the resources available in research centers, to enhance the growth and impact of spirituality on health.

Spirituality is one of the topics that has received attention in non-medication therapies. This was a bibliometrics study and aimed to visualize the scientific relationships within the field of spiritual health. Scientific collaboration network from the perspectives of authorship, institution, and geographical location of research was analysed. The sample size consisted of 1102 articles published from January 2012 to March 2023. Ravar PreMap, UCINet, and VOSviewer software were utilized for data preparation, visualization, and network density (ND) calculations. We identified six subject clusters in the global spiritual health research, including spirituality, cancer, well-being, depression, COVID-19, and women’s health. Keywords such as spirituality (count 667, weight 4550) and religion (count 356, weight 2614), followed by quality of life, well-being, and cancer, were recognized as influential terms within this network. Countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Saudi Arabia, along with institutions such as Duke University and Harvard University, were identified as the most influential countries and scientific hubs. The density of collaboration networks for authors, institutions, and countries was (ND 0.013, SD 0.1132), (ND 0.016, SD 0.1253), and (ND 0.116, SD 0.3203), respectively. It is highly recommended to facilitate the collaboration between research institutions and countries and to encourage the experimental, multisite studies about the potential effects of spirituality on health in chronic disease.
