All the professors working in the operating room who were involved as instructors of the departments from the beginning of the implementation of the log book (10 people) and all the students of the operating room who, at the time of conducting the research, had the experience of using the log book during their internship or cruise in the clinical departments and They had an operating room (60 people), they were investigated by census method.

Results: The average final satisfaction score of professors was significantly higher than that of students, which indicates that professors have a more positive view of the logbook than students (p value˂ 0.05).
