Abstract
Nurses are confronted with numerous situations calling for moral decision-making in their workplace every day. Nursing students should therefore attain a satisfactory level of moral development during their university years. The present study was conducted to determine nursing students’ level of moral development, as there seems to be a shortage of similar studies throughout the country.
This descriptive, correlational research was performed in 2010 study samples were 115 junior and senior students of the Department of Nursing and Midwifery of Tabriz University of Medical University who were selected by census. These students’ level of moral development was evaluated through the Nursing Dilemma Test (NDT), which has been created based on Kohlberg’s theory of ethical development. NDT assesses nurses’ moral development in three levels: pre-conventional, conventional and post-conventional, and evaluates their observance of clinical considerations at the same time. A number of the participants’ sociodemographic characteristics were also collected through a questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using SPSS statistical software, and descriptive and inferential statistics.
According to the findings of this study, 13 students (11.3%) were in the pre-conventional, 33 (28.7%) in the conventional, and 55 (47.8%) in the post-conventional level, and 14 (12.1%) took clinical considerations into account more than others. There seemed to be no meaningful statistical relationship between the students’ moral development and their age (P = 0.49), sex (P = 0.21), marital status (P = 0.79), place of education (P = 0.32), and year of education (P = 0.92).
These results showed that although approximately half of the students under study were in the post-conventional level, which is an acceptable level of moral development, a great percentage were still in the lower levels. This means that those in administrative positions in nursing departments need to pay more attention to the moral education of nursing students.

Abstract
Lack of knowledge of the medical team about the regulations and laws of abortion can endanger mother’s health and also faces the medical community with serious problems. The aim of this study was assessment of knowledge and viewpoint of midwifery students in Tabriz Azad Islamic University and Tabriz University of Medical Sciences toward abortion. This study is a descriptive study which was conducted in 2013 on 300 midwifery students in Tabriz Islamic Azad University and Faculty of Nursing & Midwifery at Tabriz University of Medical Sciences. A four-part questionnaire was used for gathering data parts 1 to 4 included the personal, social, educational particulars of midwifery students and studying the students’ knowledge about the I. R. Iran’s regulations and laws regarding abortion, studying the students’ viewpoints toward legal and illegal abortion. Our study showed that 26.7% of midwifery students have proper knowledge about abortion, the knowledge of 53.7% of them was in the medium level and 19.7% of students have weak knowledge toward it. The positive viewpoint toward legal abortion was observed in 89.3% of the students and 10.7% of students had negative viewpoint. Our analysis showed that there is no statistically significant difference between students’ knowledge about abortion (P≤0.76), students’ viewpoint toward legal abortion (P≤0.44) and students’ viewpoint toward illegal abortion (P≤0.081). Although in our study midwifery students’ knowledge about abortion regulations was not sufficient, there is the high probability of their encountering with judicial problems. Therefore, it is recommended to raise the midwifery students’ level of knowledge about the authorized cases of abortion and regulations which may decrease the fines of criminal abortions in the future.

Abstract
Do not resuscitate order (DNR) is one of the most challenging issues in end of life care. The attitude of health care providers has an important role in legalization of this procedure. The aim of the present study was to investigate the viewpoints of nursing students on DNR orders. One hundred and eighty six nursing students from Tabriz University of Medical Sciences (TUOMS) and Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences (KUMS) participated in the present study. Data collection was performed by Attitude on DNR Order Questionnaire that consisted of 25 items. The results showed that nursing students have a negative attitude toward many aspects of DNR orders, had many misconceptions about this procedure and tended to acquire more information about it. Also, students reported a negative attitude about passive euthanasia and reported that cultural and religious factors are important in their attitude toward DNR orders. Moreover, there was no statistical difference between the attitudes of nursing students from these two universities with two different cultural and religious backgrounds (P > 0.05).Considering the lack of knowledge of nursing students about DNR orders it is suggested that nursing students should be educated on the subject. Due to little research evidence conducting further studies is recommended.

Abstract
Increased patient satisfaction can promote patient’s compliance with prescribed treatments and improve patients’ health. The aim of this study was to determine the patients’ satisfaction with nurses in surgical departments of Imam, Razi, and Golestan hospitals of Ahvaz city in 2018. In this descriptive-analytic study, patients over 18 years of age with at least 3 days of hospitalization were studied. Data including age, sex, marriage status, level of education, type of illness, hospitalization time, number of hospital admissions, and health status were collected through a demographic form. Patients’ satisfaction with nurses was obtained by the satisfaction questionnaire of nursing services. Chi-square, one-way analysis of variance, Kruskal-Wallis analysis, Mann-Whitney test, and Spearman correlation coefficient were used to analyze by SPSS software. Patients’ satisfaction in Imam, Razi and Golestan hospitals were 78.25±12.09, 68.30±11.24, and 58.09±17.42, respectively. Highest level of patients’ satisfaction was with Razi hospital nurses (P-value<0.05).There were no significant difference between patients of different hospitals regarding age, marriage status, place of residence, hospitalization history, and education level (P-value>0.05).With increasing age, having a history of admission, an increase in the duration of hospitalization, the patients’ satisfaction score decreased significantly (P-value<0.05), but there was no significant difference between the patients’ satisfaction by marriage status, place of residence and level of education (P-value>0.05). It is suggested that effective strategies for increasing patients’ satisfaction be applied through more care and attention of more sensitive people. Also, increasing awareness of the community about the duties of patients, nurses, and medical staff is recommended.

Abstract
A professional and educated midwifery workforce is essential to provide high-quality maternal and newborn care. Midwives’ awareness and knowledge of professional rules and regulations would be necessary for correct practice. Accordingly, this study aimed to investigate midwives’ awareness and knowledge of the professional rules and regulations in Iran. In this systematic review study, the PICO guidelines were used to find the relevant articles through searching MeSH terms in Irandoc, SID, Scopus, EMBASE, Cochrane, Magiran, and PubMed databases up to September 7, 2023. The JBI checklist was used to assess the quality of the articles. This systematic review investigated 14 cross-sectional studies with a total of 2161 participants. The results demonstrated that midwives in Iran do not have a satisfactory level of awareness and knowledge about the professional rules and regulations. Based on the results, much more focus is required to enhance the awareness and knowledge of midwives about the professional rules and regulations. The results of this study can be used for developing educational programs on midwifery professional rules and regulations as a necessity for providing high-quality maternal and newborn care

Abstract
An efficient healthcare system relies on active participation and a strong relationship between healthcare providers and recipients. Observing the Patients’ Rights Charter is an essential aspect of delivering high-quality healthcare services. However, the existence, formulation, and dissemination of the charter do not ensure its implementation and compliance. Therefore, evaluating adherence to the charter is critical. This study aimed to assess compliance with the Patients’ Rights Charter at Shahid Rahnemoon Hospital, Yazd. This applied, descriptive-analytical study was conducted cross-sectionally at Shahid Rahnemoon Hospital, Yazd, in 2024. The study population included all hospitalized patients in the hospital. Cluster random sampling was used, and a standardized questionnaire developed by Parsapour et al. measured adherence to the Patients’ Rights Charter. Data analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests via SPSS software version 26. The findings revealed that patients perceived an average level of adherence to the Patients’ Rights Charter in Shahid Rahnemoon Hospital (mean ± SD: 53.99 ± 11.10). The highest compliance was observed in the domain of respect for patients and protection of privacy (mean ± SD: 78.12 ± 2.65), whereas the lowest compliance was reported for the existence of a complaint resolution system (mean ± SD: 2.97 ± 1.74). Patient satisfaction, a vital indicator of healthcare quality, is closely linked to the observance of patients’ rights. To improve compliance, it is recommended to:
1. Raise staff awareness about the importance of adhering to patients’ rights.
2. Educate patients about their rights through staff training and media campaigns.
3. Develop plans by hospital management to address areas of non-compliance.
4. Foster greater collaboration between staff and patients.
5. Follow up on violations of patients’ rights and implement legal measures to ensure compliance.
6. Regularly monitor adherence to patients’ rights to enhance patient satisfaction and staff commitment to ethical practices.
