  • Introduction: Getting education is one of the rights of the patients and a tool to improve health. Considering medical students spend a lot of time at the patient's bedside, educating the patient is considered one of their duties. The purpose of the current research was to assess and compare medical students' performance in patient education in the obstetrics and gynecology ward from both the staff and students' points of view.
  • Methods: In this descriptive-analytical study, students, and medical staff, who were in the obstetrics, and gynecology ward were selected by the census. The information regarding the performance of students in patient education was collected via a researcher-made questionnaire that was completed by students and medical staff. Then, the data was analyzed using an independent t-test at 5% significance level by SPSS (Version. 26) statistical software.
  • Results: 55 people completed the questionnaire. The average age of the students and employees was 25.88 ± 2.12 and 32.60 ± 2.47 respectively. From the staff's perspectives, in all diseases and procedures, the mean of student performance in patient education was 4.08 ± 0.07. From the student's perspectives, in all diseases and procedures, the mean of student performance in patient education was 3.19 ± 0.13. A comparison of the average performance of the medical students in the patient education in the midwifery, and gynecology ward regarding various diseases and procedures from the perspective of medical students and staff indicates that there is no significant difference between the average performance of the medical students in the patient education in any of the diseases and procedures from the perspective of staff and students(P-value > 0.05).
  • Conclusion: The overall performance of students in the patient education in various diseases, and procedures in the obstetrics and gynecology ward was middle from the students' viewpoint and the staff's viewpoint was good. In the patient education of details due to each disease or procedure, in some diseases, students' performance was not appropriate, so it is suggested that educational workshops be held for students in this regard.
