Abstract
Ethical performance is one of the main components of offering quality care to women and mothers. The aim of this study was to assess the degree of compliance with the professional codes of ethics among the midwives employed in maternal child health centers in Tehran.This was a descriptive, cross-sectional study performed on 125 maternal child health center midwives in Tehran. Method of sampling was stratified and cluster sampling. The data collection tool consisted of a valid, reliable questionnaire including two sections: demographic information and 43 questions in 10 areas of professional ethics based on a 5-point Likert scale. Data analysis was performed by descriptive statistics via the SPSS software.The overall compliance with ethical codes among midwives was 3.866±0.522, and compliance rates in each of the 10 areas mentioned above were as follows: respect for human dignity: 3.77±0.676 observance of clients’ decision-making right: 3.62±0.58 obtaining informed consent: 3.48 ± 0.988 truth telling: 4±0.74 respect for clients’ privacy: 4.08±0.709 observance of the principles of beneficence and non-maleficence: 3.97±0.689 revealing clients’ information: 3.47±0.723 confidentiality: 3.83±0.844 fair treatment of clients: 4.14±0.802 and professional relationship with colleagues: 4.23±0.709.In order to improve the quality of midwifery services, more attention should be paid to teaching professional ethics in midwifery courses, and after extensive notification, compliance with ethical codes should be monitored.

Abstract
Moral sensitivity is the first step in making a moral decision and taking a moral judgment. An effort to promote nurses' moral sensitivity, education of ethical concepts, and using appropriate approaches to teaching ethics is still under discussion. Thus, this study was conducted to determine the effect of virtual teaching of ethical principles through narrative method on the ethical sensitivity of critical care nurses. In this quasi-experimental study, 60 critical care nurses were studied in two groups of test and control in 2 hospitals. The experimental group was taught ethical principles through virtual narrative method. Demographic information and Latezen moral sensitivity questionnaire were completed by nurses on three occasions (before, immediately after and two months after virtual education). Data were analyzed by SPSS 20 software. Results showed that the mean and standard deviation of nurses' moral sensitivity were 61.53 ± 9.24 before intervention and (60.60 ± 7.76 for the control group, and the association was not statistically significant (p> 0.05). However, there was a significant difference between the experimental group (77.50 ± 6.05) and the control group (60.83 ± 8.07 in the first post-test. In addition, there was a significant difference between the experimental and control groups (p <0.05) in the second post-test. Repeated measure analysis showed a significant difference between the ethical sensitivity scores in the experimental group, but no significant difference in the control group. According to the findings, the nurses' moral sensitivity was moderate at the beginning of the study, but after the intervention, the test group was at a high level and the control group was still at a moderate level. Thus, it is necessary to motivate nurses for recording and sharing their ethical challenges. Accordingly, they can promote their own ethical performance. Furthermore, their narratives can be used for education of other nurses and students of nursing.

Abstract
The ethical climate in hospitals can influence nurses' ethical decisions. In other words, in the hospital where the nurse cannot use his moral courage, the patient's rights and interests are gradually ignored. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the relationship between perception of ethical climate and moral courage of nurses working in hospitals affiliated to Shahid Sadoughi University of Yazd in 2019. This was a descriptive-analytical study. A total of 204 nurses working in hospitals affiliated to Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences in Yazd were included in the study by census sampling. Data were collected using demographic questionnaire, Professional Moral Courage (PMC), and Hospital Ethical Climate Survey (HECS) and analyzed by SPSS 18 software. The results showed that the mean score of ethical climate (3.35 ± 0.62) of 5 and the mean score of moral courage was 56.37 ± 5.46 out of 75. There was no significant relationship between ethical climate and moral courage (P≥0.05). Of demographic characteristics, gender had a significant relationship with the mean score of ethical climate (<0.05), but other demographic characteristics did not have a significant relationship with ethical climate and moral courage (>0.05). Considering influence of environments supporting nurses’ moral courage on optimal care to patients, development of plans by managers to promote nurses’ moral courage can lead to beneficial effects.

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.
