Abstract
Background & Aim: Pedestrians are the most vulnerable road users. In many cases, pedestrian-vehicle crashes are often the result of their risky road crossing behaviors. So, this qualitative study aimed to explore the reasons for risky road crossing behaviors among young people.
Methods & Materials: The current study was designed as a qualitative content analysis. Twelve males and females who had a car-accident were purposefully selected with maximum variation sampling. Data were collected and analyzed by semi-structured individual interviews.
Results: Conformity with the masses including “conformity with peers and conformity with the public space of society”, and anomie emerged as the most important social reasons for young pedestrian’s risky road crossing behaviors.
Conclusion: According to the results of this study, young pedestrian’s risky road crossing behaviors are affected by conformity with the masses and peers and as well as anomie so that risky behaviors have been commonplace and inevitable and a part of their lifestyle.

Abstract
Background & Aim: The Covid‐19 pandemic has posed numerous ethical challenges to nurses and has exacerbated moral distress in clinical settings. Hence, due to the important role of nurses in pandemics, this study was conducted to investigate the severity and frequency of moral distress among nurses working in clinical settings at Maragheh teaching hospitals during the outbreak of COVID-19.
Methods & Materials: This was a cross-sectional study conducted on 174 nurses working in surgical-medical, intensive care, pediatric and emergency wards of Maragheh hospitals in 2020-2021. Data were collected using a demographic form and the Corley’s Moral Distress Scale.
Results: The median (Interquartile Range (IQR) = Q3 − Q1) of the severity and frequency of moral distress experienced were 54 (44-59) and 52 (43-58), respectively. The median of moral distress experienced in the intensive care and emergency wards were 56 (51-59) and 46 (43-51), which was more severe than that of in other wards. The median of frequency and severity of moral distress in men were 48 (41-59) and in women 50 (43-59), respectively, which was significantly higher than that of in women (P<0.001). The severity and frequency of moral distress had a statistically significant relationship with age, and work experience (P>0.05) so that with increasing age and work experience, the severity and frequency of moral distress decreased.
Conclusion: Given the high frequency of moral distress among nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic in specific clinical settings, the use of management strategies in order to improve working conditions and create a positive setting can be helpful. It seems that holding courses on coping with moral distress in nurses in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic is an appropriate practical solution.

Abstract
Background & Aim: In recent years, significant changes have occurred in the dynamics of childbearing within familial context. Notably, Iranian families have witnessed a noticeable decline in the desire for childbearing and having additional children. The aim of this study was to explore the determinants of childbearing decision-making among women and men of reproductive age.
Methods & Materials: This study adopts a qualitative research design using the conventional content analysis approach in 2023. The participants comprised 19 married women and men of reproductive age living in Zanjan, who were purposively selected to ensure maximum variation. After obtaining informed consent, the participants were invited to participate in individual, semi-structured interviews. Data collection continued until data saturation was reached, with concurrent analysis conducted throughout the process. The textual data were managed using MAXQDA software, version 2020.
Results: Throughout the inductive data analysis process, seven main categories emerged as determinants of decision-making about childbearing. These categories included social role modeling, reflection within family structure, social and economic requirements, contemporary concerns in parenting, avoidance of responsibility and comfort-seeking, unpleasant past experiences and age-related challenges. Among these categories, social and economic requirements emerged as the most prevalent concept across all interviews, with a total of 505 open codes associated with this category.
Conclusion: The normalization of reduced childbearing rates within the society, accompanied by shifting values and attitudes towards the significance of children, as well as economic and social problems have contributed to an increasing preference for smaller families. Furthermore, the desire for fewer children can be viewed as a response to the individualistic tendencies of women and men, as well as a means of avoiding parenting concerns.
