| خیلی خوبه که از نتایج آموزشهایی که در خانه های بهداشت ارائه شده است به عنوان یک طرح پژوهشی استفاده کردید و نتایج مطلوب آنرا در اختیار سایرین قرار دادید. امنروزه اکثریت به این معتقدند که آموزشهای ما در خانه ها و مراکز بهداشتی درمانی بی نتیجه است به علت مسایل و مشکلات اقتصادی که وجود دارد مردم به آموزشهای ما زیاد توجه نمیکنند. |
