Abstract
One of the key strategies in the students’ process of learning is being affected by role models. Recognition of the spiritual strategies of role model instructors for when nursing students are exposed to threats and obstacles to spiritual growth can enable nurses to deal with such situations. This study was conducted to investigate the experiences of nursing students about the spiritual strategies of role model instructors in the role modeling process.
In this qualitative study, 22 nursing students were selected based on purposive sampling in 2012. Data were analyzed through content analysis. Data from three focus group discussions (n=20) and two individual interviews with nursing students were collected from five nursing schools in Tehran.
Spiritual strategies for role modeling were classified in two main categories: religious beliefs establishment and commitment to ethics.
The use of teaching strategies based on spirituality by role model instructors in hidden curriculum was an expression of their religious beliefs in the face of the challenges and obstacles that nursing students confront in their profession, and these strategies helped the spiritual growth of nursing students. It is therefore recommended to promote spiritual development in nursing education, and employ the spiritual strategies of role model instructors to encourage the spiritual growth of nursing students, on whom public health depends.

Abstract
Nowadays, ethics is an important factor that can determine the clinical competency of nurses. The aim of this study was to compare the moral intelligence of nurses in civilian and military hospitals.In this descriptive-comparative study, 315 nurses from hospitals in Tehran and Kerman were recruited by convenience sampling. Lennick & Kiel’s Moral Competency Inventory was used for data collection. The data were analyzed by SPSS software version 17 using descriptive and inferential statistical tests including T- test, ANOVA and Chi-square test.149 study subjects were military nurses and the remaining 166 were civilians. The nurses’ moral intelligence was found to be at an average level. On the other hand, there was a statistically significant difference between the moral intelligence level of civilian and military nurses (P < 0.001).The results showed that the moral intelligence of most nurses in this study was at an average level. It is therefore recommended that health managers pay more attention to this issue and incorporate it into the required courses for their employees especially during service training. Moreover, offering extensive training courses on ethical issues is a solution that should be considered in military hospitals.

Abstract
As a result of the changes made in health care systems, nurses nowadays are faced with more complicated ethical dilemmas. Therefore, they need to be familiar with ethical decision-making procedures and have the ability to perform ethical reasoning. The present study aimed to evaluate this ability in nurses and investigate its relationship with demographic characteristics in a subspecialized hospital in Tehran during 2015. This was a descriptive-analytical study, and the research population consisted of 245 qualified nurses selected by census. A demographic questionnaire and Crisham’s Nursing Dilemma Test were used to collect the data. Descriptive-analytical tests and SPSS software version 22 were used for data analysis. Based on the, the mean value of the nurses’ ethical reasoning was 40.81 ± 6.72, which is lower than the average score of the test. Furthermore, increased work experience led to a reduction in the mean value of ethical reasoning (P ≤ 0.05). Overall, single subjects scored higher in the mean ethical reasoning than those who were married (P ≤ 0.05), but no significant relationship was observed between other demographic characteristics and the mean of ethical reasoning. Due to the nurses’ low ability to perform ethical reasoning, further studies will need to be conducted on proper training methods to promote ethical decision-making in nurses. As regards the reduced ethical reasoning ability in nurses with more work experience, it is necessary to identify the reasons and devise appropriate solutions with the help of nursing managers and hospital ethics committees.

Abstract
Moral courage is the ability to overcome fear and performing the right action based on moral beliefs despite the potential danger. Nurses, as moral agents, need moral courage to properly manage moral problems and make a professional commitment to patients. Therefore, the above study was conducted to investigate the moral courage of nurses and related factors. In this descriptive cross-sectional study conducted in 2019, the research population was all nurses working in Baqiyatallah Hospital. After explaining the objectives of the study and obtaining the consent of the research, 220 nurses were selected as available samples. The data collection tool was Sadooghiasl questionnaire. After completing the questionnaire, they completed 187 sample questionnaires. SPSS software was used to analyze the data. The results of the study showed that the mean score of nurses' moral courage was 413.37 with a standard deviation of 46.70. Thirty percent had moderate moral courage and 69.5% had high moral courage. The results of the independent T-test and ANOVA showed that there is a statistically significant relationship between the variable employment status and the moral courage of nurses. Considering the results of this study and the many ethical challenges that exist in the nursing profession, the issue of moral courage and related factors and providing solutions to improve it, should be at the forefront of the health organization and nursing managers.
