Abstract
Errors occur commonly in hospitals and nurses are potential observers of these misconducts and they can prevent them by reporting. This research studies the types of errors, misconducts, and inappropriate situations in the nursing field, compares these errors in private and public hospitals and finally studies individuals' reactions to these errors (whistle-blowing and not whistle-blowing). Two hundred and forty five subjects were chosen out of 2260 nurses in Isfahan hospitals. In this study, a list of errors, misconducts and whistle-blowing criteria by McDonald instrument was used. Results showed that there is significant difference between error models in private and public hospitals, also between strategies used by whistle-blowers and non whistle-blowers when they observed errors, misconduct and inappropriate situations. Sixty-two percent of nurses revealed errors after observing them. Identifying the types of errors can help health decision makers to decrease them and will raise awareness of this issue. In addition, by decreasing the impediments of whistle-blowing, errors and organizational misconducts will be decreased.

Abstract
In this article, we aim to discuss one of the essential concepts of medicine. As a rule, such studies attempt to clarify the philosophical principals of medicine, whereby the act of medic can be regulated based on his clear perceptions of the principles of his knowledge.
In this article, we will evaluate the concept of causation in medicine from a philosophical point of view and through historical review, and we aim to clarify the significance of such concepts in clinical decisions.
Medicine is an academic discipline dedicated to learning about illnesses and their causes, curing ailments and promoting social as well as individual health.
There are four general paradigms in the world of medicine, and accordingly four definitions of causation. Along the line of these thaughts are the views of modern philosophers such as rationalists, empiricists and post-modern philosophers. In this article we will look at these four medical paradigms and consequently the four definitions of causation.
Hippocratic paradigm, with reprsentatives such as Hippocrates, Ibn Sina and Galen, was the first paradigm in medicine to presuppose a rationalistic and realisitc view about causation.Biomedical paradigm aquires an attitude similar to logical positivism, seeing causation as a real concept that is true and is provable not through intelect, but by experience. Within this paradigm, a critical clinical approach is specially noticable according to which causation is not a real and necessary concept, but a mental, unprovable concept that is abtained through symmetry-based association, repetition and statistics.
Finally, in the post-modern hermenutical paradigm, discussions of scientific causation and biological and mechanistic topics are replaced by ethical discussions about humans thus the causation is marginalized and loses its relevance.

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
In this research, an intercultural comparison between medical students from Iran and England was made to investigate the potential impact of culture on empathy and the relationships between empathy and child birth order in the family. The population consisted of medical students of medical universities from three cities: Tehran (Iran), London and Sheffield (England). The sample consisted of 182 students from two countries (88 Iranian, 94 English) which was selected by convenience sampling method. Data was collected by scale of empathy- student version and researcher made demographic questionnaire. Data was analyzed by using student’s t- test, MANOVA and Scheffe post hoc test. Results showed that the physician empathy of Iranian medical students is significantly higher than English students (P <0.01). Also the results showed that birth order of students has a meaningful correlation with their empathy (F=2.96,P<0.05). The results of multivariate analysis of variance showed that in the empathy variable, empathic care and self-care is more than English students rather than the patient of Iranian students, but they do not differ in the component of adopting the view. The result of this study reveals the importance of cultural differences and family factors such as birth order on personality factors for instance the physician ability to empathize with patients.

Abstract
Hospitalization in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) is a very stressful experience for the patient and family and their separation has not been confirmed in any of the studies. At present, ICU visiting is limited that makes several challenges. Therefore, this descriptive-exploratory study, aimed to explore strategies for overcoming the challenges of visiting This was a descriptive-exploratory qualitative study conducted through in-depth semi-structured interviews with 35 participants in educational hospitals of Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences including 6 patients, 9 patients' family members or friends, and 20 nurses during 2018. Interviews were continued until data saturation and then data analysis was performed using inductive thematic analysis approach. Participants stated two main themes for stepping out of visiting-related Challenges. (1) "Reducing the Need to Meet" through "Education about visiting rules", "Improving the Environment" and "Family Interaction" and (2) "Modified Meetings" through "Upgrading the Meeting Behind the windows", "using permanent monitor" and "flexible meeting". The ICU visits in Shahrekord hospitals, are limited like in other parts of the country. However, it is hoped that implementation of the extracted strategies in ICUs will solve many of visiting-related issues and eliminate the conflicting experience of patients, peers, and staff.

Abstract
Moral intelligence encompasses an individual's ability to discern right from wrong, possess ethical values, and demonstrate ethical behavior in practice. Clinical competence, a crucial aspect of nursing practice, encompasses a combination of knowledge, skills, and attitudes, including adherence to ethical principles. This systematic review aimed to investigate the relationship between moral intelligence and clinical competence among nurses and nursing students. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using keywords related to "moral intelligence," "clinical competence," "nurses," and "nursing students" in major international databases, including Web of Science Core Collection, PubMed/Medline, Scopus, and Google Scholar, as well as national databases such as Irandoc, SID, and Magiran. The search included publications in Persian and English with no time limitations. After removing duplicates and screening the initial 150 identified studies, five studies met the inclusion criteria. Ethical considerations, including minimizing bias in the selection, extraction, and analysis of evidence, were adhered to throughout the review process. The abstract adheres to PRISMA guidelines for reporting systematic reviews. The review revealed a significant positive correlation between moral intelligence and clinical competence across various dimensions. Studies demonstrated that higher levels of moral intelligence were associated with improved clinical competence, including ethical reasoning and clinical self-efficacy. Factors such as age, work experience, educational status, and individual rank were found to influence this relationship. Additionally, some studies indicated that moral intelligence could predict clinical competence scores, while others demonstrated that it could be a significant predictor of clinical competence alongside other factors such as Grade Point Average (GPA). This systematic review provides evidence for a significant positive relationship between moral intelligence and clinical competence among nurses and nursing students. Enhancing moral intelligence through targeted educational interventions can contribute to improved clinical competence and ultimately enhance the quality of patient care. Future research should focus on developing and evaluating educational programs designed to enhance moral intelligence in nursing education and practice.

Abstract
Death anxiety, characterized by persistent fear of death, is a significant psychological burden. Spiritual care, encompassing compassionate listening, fostering trust, and addressing spiritual and existential concerns, has the potential to alleviate this anxiety. This systematic review aimed to investigate the impact of spiritual care interventions on death anxiety in various patient populations. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using keywords such as "spiritual care," "death anxiety," "spirituality," and "patients" in major databases, including Web of Science Core Collection, PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Irandoc, SID, Magiran, and Google Scholar. The search included publications in English and Persian with no time limitations. After screening and removing duplicates, eight studies met the inclusion criteria. Ethical considerations, including minimizing bias in the selection, extraction, and analysis of evidence, were adhered to throughout the review process. The review followed the PRISMA guidelines for reporting systematic reviews. The findings suggest a potential positive impact of spiritual care on reducing death anxiety. Studies conducted among patients with chronic kidney disease, multiple sclerosis, and stroke demonstrated that spiritual care interventions, including individual counseling and group support, can effectively alleviate death anxiety and improve overall well-being. However, some studies, particularly those involving patients with cardiac problems and gastrointestinal cancer, did not show a significant reduction in death anxiety. Furthermore, research conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the potential effectiveness of tele-nursing interventions for providing spiritual care and alleviating death anxiety in older adults. This review provides evidence suggesting that spiritual care interventions may be effective in reducing death anxiety in certain patient populations. Further research is warranted to investigate the effectiveness of different spiritual care modalities across diverse patient groups, including those with chronic illnesses, terminal diseases, and those facing end-of-life care.
