Abstract
Background and Objective: Any test as a measurement tool must have sufficient validity and reliability to measure the desired attribute. Multiple-choice tests are the most common types of tests in medical education, which have a high degree of reliability, and this study was conducted with the aim of quantitative and qualitative evaluation of four-choice questions in Shahroud University of Medical Sciences in the academic year of 2021-2022.
Methods: This descriptive study was conducted on all General and specialized courses in the two academic years of 2021-2022 at the Shahroud University of Medical Sciences. For the quantitative evaluation of the questions (difficulty index and discrimination index), the Hamava system was used and for the qualitative evaluation, the 14-item checklist of Millman was used.
Findings: This study showed that out of 5000 examined questions, 2569 questions (51.4%) had a simple difficulty coefficient and 2500 (50%) had a suitable clean coefficient. The average standard deviation of the degree of difficulty was 0.700±0.314 and the degree of cleanliness was 0.625±0.247, also 330 questions (48.5%) of Taxonomy 2 and 190 questions (27.9%) were without defects. The most types of defects were the absence of most of the information in the question stems of 196 questions, the presence of negative words in the question stems of 136 questions, and the presence of options for all items in 121 questions, none in 45 questions, and combined options in 34 questions. In the structure of question 398 (58/1%) was the most type of defect.
Conclusion: To improve the quality of tests and use the results of quantitative and qualitative analysis of questions, practical solutions should be thought of, and professors should be trained in designing and using appropriate questions and preparing for-choice question banks.

Abstract
Background and Objective: Today, academic knowledge and skills alone are not enough to provide quality health services. Despite the complexities of the healthcare environment, ethics is an inseparable part of healthcare decision-making, and ignoring it can have a negative impact on the quality of services provided and organizational health. This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between moral intelligence and some demographic factors in students of Shahroud University of Medical Sciences.
Methods: This descriptive-cross-sectional study was conducted on 101 medical interns of Shahrood University of Medical Sciences, who were included in the study through census method, in 2024. The data collection tool included a demographic information questionnaire and the moral intelligence questionnaire of Lennick and Keel. The collected data were entered into SPSS version 18 and analyzed using descriptive and analytical statistics. The level of significance (p < 0.001) was considered.
Findings: The average age of the participants was 25.55±2.45 years. There was a statistically significant relationship between moral intelligence and the variables of gender (P=0.001), marital status (P=0.001), place of residence (P=0.001), and native status (P=0.001). There was no statistically significant relationship between moral intelligence and birth rank (P=0.784), grade point average (P=0.337), and quota status (P=0.442). The moral intelligence score of most of the weak interns was 63 (62.4%), and the overall mean moral intelligence score was 67.42±12.23.
Conclusions: Given the poor moral intelligence score level in most medical interns, there is a need to review ethical guidelines to develop moral intelligence.

Abstract
Background and Objective: Accreditation has been recognized as one of the most important strategies for quality assurance and improvement in medical education in recent years. Given the key role of medical students in educational and clinical processes, assessing their awareness and self‑evaluation of compliance with educational and behavioral accreditation standards is of great importance. This study aimed to assess medical students’ self‑evaluation of compliance with educational and behavioral accreditation standards in teaching hospitals affiliated with Shahroud University of Medical Sciences.
Methods: This descriptive–analytical cross‑sectional study was conducted on 202 medical interns and externs of Shahroud University of Medical Sciences during the academic year 2022–2023. Data were collected using a demographic information questionnaire and a standard questionnaire developed by Yavarzadeh et al. After data entry into SPSS software version 18, descriptive statistics and analytical statistical tests were applied for data analysis.
Findings: The mean age of the students was 24.97 ± 3.47 years. Most participants were male (51%), single (79.2%), and at the externship level (55.4%). In addition, 67.5% of the students were aware of the accreditation program. A statistically significant relationship was found between gender, marital status, educational level, and awareness of accreditation with the awareness score, whereas age showed no significant association (P = 0.419). The highest mean score was related to the domain of rules and regulations, while the lowest mean score was observed in professional attire. The overall mean awareness score of accreditation was 186.57 ± 25.66, and 90.1% of students were classified at a desirable level.
Conclusions: The findings indicated that medical students’ awareness of accreditation standards was at a desirable level. Nevertheless, maintaining and further improving this status requires continuous and targeted educational planning
