Assessing Educational Satisfaction and Career Attitudes Among Health Science Students: A Cross‐Sectional Study in Six Iranian Universities
This study found that while Iranian health science students generally hold positive career views, a gap exists between their high overall university satisfaction and lower specific satisfaction with their field and faculty behavior. Satisfaction and positive attitudes decline with academic progression and vary by university. Faculty behavior is key to satisfaction. Findings highlight the need for improved faculty-student interactions and effective management of expectations.
