Comparative study of electronic monitoring model with Islamic sources in Iranian Police (Case study of medical centers)

Abstract

Aims: The present qualitative research was conducted with the aim of comparing the electronic monitoring checklist used in Iranian police medical centers with the relevant items in Islamic sources (hadiths, Quran, and narrations) and the compliance of the present checklist with the mentioned items. Materials and Methods: In the present qualitative research, first, the electronic monitoring checklist of the police force, which contains 24 items in the field of electronic surveillance (used in medical centers) was examined. Those items that were not found in Islamic sources or were in the opposite, was removed from the checklist. Then, the needs assessment of the remaining items was reviewed by the professors and managers of the police force and the final checklist was prepared. Thirston and Cronbach's alpha in SPSS-18 software was used to analyze the validity and reliability of the checklist. Findings: Based on interviews with religious experts and the extraction of Islamic principles corresponding to the items, 19 items remained in the checklist and were sent for a survey of NAJA managers and professors. However, no corresponding principles were found for the 5 items that were classified as items that Islam has been silent on and was later added to the final checklist as items that are needed at different times depending on the needs of the organization. All 19 remaining items were accepted from the perspective of police managers and professors, and the grade of each item was calculated depending on the degree of relevance to the corresponding Islamic principle. The calculation of Cronbach's alpha equal to 0.90 also indicated the appropriate reliability of the checklist. Conclusion: The current findings showed that a large share of the items related to electronic surveillance used in Iranian police medical centers are directly or indirectly rooted in Islamic teachings and a small share of it is commensurate with the needs of the organization at a time when Islam it is silent
