Abstract
Turnover and moral distress are considered as one of the challenges in health care systems. Nursing leaders are one of the factors influencing the thoughts and behaviors of nurses in organizational environments. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between ethical leadership, moral distress and the turnover intention of nurses working in hospitals affiliated to Kerman University of Medical Sciences in 2019-2020. The research method was descriptive-correlation. A total of 130 participants were enrolled by stratified sampling method from 3 hospitals. Data were collected using demographic information questionnaires, Ethical Leadership in Nursing, moral distress, and turnover intention. Then data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics by SPSS software version 16. The results showed that ethical leadership and all its components were at the desired level. Also, moral distress and intention to leave were moderate. There was a significant negative correlation between ethical leadership and all its dimensions with the turnover intention and moral distress. Also, there was a significant positive correlation between the variables of turnover intention and the moral distress. Therefore, considering the significant relationship between ethical leadership, moral distress, and the turnover, by adopting this type of leadership approach by nursing managers, moral distress and the turnover intention among nurses can be reduced.

Abstract
Health care providers need moral sensitivity to provide effective ethical care Since spirituality is an integral part of morality, and spiritual intelligence is the basis of an individual's beliefs that affect his performance, this study was conducted to determine the role of spiritual intelligence in moral sensitivity of nursing students. This is a cross-sectional descriptive study that was conducted in 2021. The target population was nursing students studying in the first semester of 2021-2022 in Yazd, of which 153 people were selected by simple random sampling. In order to data gathering, questionnaire of King's spiritual intelligence and Lutzen's moral sensitivity was used. The validity and reliability of the instruments have been determined in previous research. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation, frequency distribution) and inferential statistics (Pearson correlation test and T test) by SPSS software version 16. Results indicated the mean of moral sensitivity (64.24 ±10.46) and the mean of spiritual intelligence of nursing students (53.90 ±34.13) were moderate. There was no statistically significant relationship between spiritual intelligence and moral sensitivity (P=0.245). Therefore, it is necessary to conduct studies to investigate the mediating factors that may affect these variables for a better and deeper understanding.

Abstract
Identifying an effective coping strategy for moral distress, as an important and common phenomenon among intensive care unit nurses, seems essential. The knowledge-to-action model aims to identify effective methods for implementing evidence into clinical practice. The present study sought to determine the effect of an intervention based on the knowledge-to-action model on moral distress among nurses working in intensive care units. This was an experimental study, and the statistical population included nurses working in the intensive care units of Namazi Hospital in Shiraz, Iran. A total of 100 eligible nurses were selected through convenience sampling and then randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. For the intervention group, the knowledge-to-action model was implemented. Data were collected using the Hamric Moral Distress Scale before and one month after the intervention. Both groups completed the questionnaire at these time points. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics with SPSS version 19. The findings showed that the two groups were similar in terms of demographic characteristics and mean moral distress scores before the intervention. After the intervention, the mean scores of moral distress in the intervention group were significantly reduced in the frequency dimension (2.12±0.34) and severity dimension (2.32±0.46) compared to the control group (frequency: 2.51±0.43; severity: 2.57±0.55) (p<0.001). The results indicated that implementing the knowledge-to-action model reduces moral distress in intensive care unit nurses. Therefore, it is recommended that nursing managers adopt this model to improve the quality of care.
