Satisfaction with life is one of the indicators of successful adaptation to life. Lifestyle and spiritual intelligence can complement and give meaning to this variable. The present study was conducted to investigate the relationship between spiritual intelligence and lifestyle with life satisfaction in students of Medical Sciences. Methods This descriptive-analytical study was conducted among the students of Qazvin University of Medical Sciences in 2017. One hundred thirty-nine students were included in this study. Data collection tools were the King's spiritual intelligence scale, Miller-Smith lifestyle assessment inventory, satisfaction with life scale (Diener), and demographic information checklist. To analyze the data, descriptive and analytical tests such as independent T-test and one-way analysis of variance and SPSS version 22 software were used. The significance level of all tests was considered less than or equal to 0.05. Findings In the present study, 108 were women and the rest were men. 49.6% of students were under twenty years old.

Introduction: The majority of nursing students believed that their knowledge in the field of pharmacology is far from the desired level, which can be due to the large volume of intensive one-semester content and ineffective teaching of the pharmacology course. Accordingly, this study has determined and compared education with the mobile application and puzzle classroom on memorization of pharmacology course for undergraduate nursing students. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was performed between 2020-2021. Seventy, 4th and 5th semester nursing students were divided into two groups using a table of random numbers. One group was taught through the mobile application and the other group was taught through the puzzle classroom. Before and one month after the intervention, students were tested in clinical reasoning. Data were analyzed using software version 16 and independent t-test, paired t-test and descriptive statistics. Result: The findings of this study showed that there was no statistically significant difference between the memorization score of the pharmacology course of the puzzle classroom with education through mobile application compared to before and after the intervention and also in comparison between the two groups. Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, both puzzle classroom and teaching through mobile application can be used to enhance learning pharmacology among undergraduate students.
