Abstract
The study of work ethics has gained great significance in recent years following the failures of major corporations and the West’s crisis. The main objective of this study is to examine the relationship between Islamic work ethics (IWE) and organizational commitment and its three dimensions including affective, continuance and normative commitments. This is a descriptive study that has been conducted in 2010. One hundred and fifty nine employees participated in this study who selected from hygiene, nursing & midwifery, pharmacy & medicinal sciences, dentistry, rehabilitation sciences, and management & information faculties through stratified random sampling. Data were collected via the 17-item Islamic Work Ethics Questionnaire, constructed by Ali (2000), and the 24-item Organizational Commitment and its dimensions questionnaire, constructed by Meyer & Allen (1991). The collected data were analyzed through correlation and regression using SPSS17. The result of factor analysis confirmed the multidimensional nature of organizational commitment. The result of correlation and regression analysis also showed that there is a positive and direct relationship between IWE and total organizational commitment and its three dimensions. The demographical variables did not impact on IWE and organizational commitment. According to the results, the employees of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences are committed to the organization either because of an emotional bond to the organization or in the absence of better job opportunities outside the organization. It may be beneficial to convey these results to managers in order to make them aware of the fact that the employees are not reluctant to leave the organization for a better job with better conditions. In view of the relationship between Islamic work ethics and organizational commitment, it is recommended that university directors and presidents attempt to increase organizational commitment by providing ethical codes and promoting Islamic work ethics principles.

Abstract
Stressful ethical situations are considered as one of the problems of nursing profession, which disrupts the competence of simultaneous application of knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values in patient care. Since clinical nurses are more exposed to ethical distress due to their nature of job, especially in in critical care and psychiatric wards, this study was conducted to analyze the relationship between three dimensions of moral distress. In this descriptive-correlational study 545 nurses from Tabriz educational centers were selected by census method in 2013-2014. The moral distress scale (MDS) questionnaire was distributed among partcipants and data was collected during nine months. Data were analyzed by SPSS V13, descriptive statistics, Chi-square test, and Kendall's tau-b correlation coefficient. According to the findings, the mean of moral distress was 141.89 ± 29.6 (in the intermediate range). Chi-square test showed the relationship between the dimensions of moral distress (the relation between patient's ignorance, decision-making power, and professional competence) (P <0.05). According to the Kendall's tau-b correlation coefficient test, there was a direct and significant correlation between the dimensions of moral distress (P <0.05). There was a meaningful correlation between the moral distress and the demographic characteristic of the educational level (P <0.05). Considering the direct and meaningful relationship between three dimensions of moral distress (patient's ignorance, decision-making power, and professional competence), each dimension of moral distress affects another as aggravating or modifying factor. Therefore, it is recommended that planners and health care administrators at the macro level provide appropriate programs to increase the nurse's attention and support to patients and reinforce decision-making power and professional competence by increasing the number of nurses and other controlling programs.

Abstract
Science considers using technologies for treatment of infertility as the important cause of multifetal pregnancies. Fetal reduction is a clinical procedure developed for reducing the number of fetuses in multifetal pregnancies in order to avoid their common complications. Three aims may be offered for fetal reduction: (1) pregnancy preservation, and prevention of and decreasing risks of multifetal pregnancy to the mother and the remaining fetuses (high-end multifetal reduction); (2) eliminating fetuses bearing certain kind of illnesses (selective reduction); and (3) just preventing multiple birth where no considerable risk threatens the mother or the fetuses (elective reduction). Moral evaluation on fetal reduction techniques varies depending on which of the mentioned aims is followed. However, in many cases this is “medical necessity” that morally justifies the reduction. Nevertheless, given the difficulty of reaching a decision on this issue, risks involved in fetal reduction procedure, and its psychological implications for the mother and the father, it is seriously recommended to avoid such an action by methods that prevent multifetal pregnancy.

Abstract
The health team, in their daily operations, are faced with many ethical issues they have to solve. Moral knowledge includes confronting with and resolving conflicts, values, norms, interests, or laws. Identifying the ethical challenges of the health system can contribute to the efficiency of educational and health programs of universities of medical sciences. The objective of this study was to explain the components of professional ethics in therapeutic and health interactions with patients. In this qualitative research, the Delphi method was used to determine the components of professional ethics. The participants were composed of three groups including faculty members, students, and clinical staff who were selected using purposive sampling. First, by reviewing the literature, a semi-structured questionnaire was developed to investigate different components of professional ethics. Then, using the Delphi method in four rounds, the ethical components were selected and by checking content validity indices (CVR and CVI), the final version of professional ethics components was explained based on therapeutic and health interactions with patients. The results of the qualitative research and the Delphi model led to the extraction of the 12 most common ethical components including disclosure of patients’ secrets, lack of justice in providing services, lack of respect for the patient’s discretion, medical and treatment staff errors, lack of compliance with regulations and standards of treatment and care, non-observance of legal regulations in telling bad news by the doctor, non-observance of dying patient’s rights, non-observance of patient’s privacy, lack of proper training of care principles and new and up-to-date treatment tips to students and staff, and finally, non-observance of professional communication. Accordingly, the final components were compiled as a questionnaire. Achieving ethical competence requires the identification of ethical components in educational, therapeutic, and care environments, especially in interaction with the patient. Therefore, it is necessary to identify, structure and formulate ethical components in regular and continuous training programs in the field of importance and observance of ethical principles in medical and health centers.
