Introduction:Neurofeedback is used not only for diagnosis and treatment of different disorders but also for improvement of healthy person's daily activity and its quality.The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of neurofeedback training on competitive-trait anxiety in athletes. Materials&Method:The present study is semi-experimental and applied type of research in which pre-test and post-test of three groups,including interventional,control and sham,are compared.Therefore 36 volunteer athletics have been chosen and organized into groups. Intervention was made in a form of increased Alpha-wave in O1 and O2 regions over 12 sessions. SCAT questionnaire was used for evaluation of trait-competitive anxiety state. Findings:Univariate analysis shows significant relationship between the actual neurofeedback training and decreased trait-competitive anxiety state(p= 0.015). Hoc test revealed the only significant discrepancy exists between interventional group and control group(p=0.009) and no significant difference exists between interventional group and sham group(p=0.058) and between sham and control group(p= 0.477). Conclusion:Normal brain reaction to stress is decreased Alpha-wave and increased beta-wave. Therefore when a person is faced to a stress situation,brain function is increased and beta-waves appear.Alpha-waves induce alert relaxation,mind integration and anxiety reduction.

Introduction: Indicators assessment due to the importance of efficiency analysis and economic exploitation of resources has always been an important issue. This research was applied to simultaneity evaluation of three key indicators using the Pabon lasso model.
 
Materials & methods: This analytical descriptive research was a cross sectional and retrospective study. Hospitals of Isfahan Province including 43 centers included affiliated and non-affiliated to university of medical Sciences were statistical society in this research. Data related to the activity of the centers during 2012-2015 were collected by referring to Vice Treatment of Isfahan University of medical sciences and main indicators including bed occupancy rate, mean length of stay and bed turnover rate were calculated. The obtained data were analyzed and compared using excels software and Pabon lasso chart.
 
Findings: Between research hospitals, there were 9 (20.9%) hospitals in zone III of the Pabon lasso chart (efficient zone) in 2012. There were 8 (18.6 %) hospitals in zone III in 2013. There were 10 (23.3%) hospitals in zone III in 2014.There were 16 (37.2 %) hospitals in zone III in 2015.
 
Discussion & conclusions: In years after the reform in health system, numbers of efficient centers increased and numbers of deficient centers decreased. Increasing was more in affiliated centers to university of medical Sciences and change in private centers was opposite. This increasing in university centers of the Isfahan were  from first year (2014) and in university hospitals out of centers of Isfahan were from second year (2015) after the reform in health system. Numbers of centers in zone IV did not change.
