Abstract
The purpose of this research was to explore the components of nurses’ ethical conduct in public hospitals in Mashhad. This study employed an eclectic method for research and followed a mixed exploratory design. A qualitative study was first performed, and then based on the results the quantitative method was applied. The statistical population consisted of all the nurses in public hospitals in the city of Mashhad. In order to collect data, in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted, and the data were then analyzed using thematic content analysis. A preliminary model was developed for the nurses' ethical conduct comprising three levels. The first level covered areas of ethical behavior toward patients, patients’ families and the core group. At the second level 13 dimensions and at the third, 51 components (themes) were abstracted. The questionnaire was then distributed among 176 experienced nurses employed in public hospitals in Mashhad. In order to assess the fit of the model in quantitative research, data were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis and AMOS software. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis showed that all dimensions and components were acceptable with the exception of the component "patient education". Using AMOS software, the comparative fit index (CFI) was calculated at 0.9, which indicates a good fit of the model and validates the components and sub-components. The results of this study can guide human resource managers in public hospitals to promote ethical conduct in nurses.

Abstract
Considering the increasing prevalence of the malignant diseases and their great effects on the different aspects of the patients’ life and even their family, the disclosure of its diagnosis and trust telling to the patients have been changed to one of the main medical ethics challenges. This study aimed for the evaluation of patient’s tendency and their family to disclosure of malignant disease. This study was a cross-sectional research. It has been done with a questionnaire on the 270 people. The sample consisted of three groups: 100 patients without cancer disease, 100 patients’ family members, and 70 patients with cancer disease, who referred to Mustafa Khomeini Hospital. The data were analyzed through SPSS-16 software in this study, 74% of the patients with cancer and 85% of patients without cancer and 50% of patients’ families had tendency to know the diagnosis of malignant disease. In the case of prognosis, 39% of cancer patients and 75% of without cancer patients, were agreed to complete knowledge, and 42% of cancer patients and 22% of without cancer patients, agreed on relative knowledge. Regarding the result of this study and respecting the individuals' rights, it seems better for the patients with malignant disease to be informed of their diagnosis and prognosis by the health care workers. Furthermore, it would be better to implement strategies for improvement of patient-physician relationship through physicians' communication skills with patients.

In order to analyze the data, descriptive (frequency, percent, mean, standard deviation) and inferential (independent t, Pearson, Spearman, ANOVA Tukey test) were used. The results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between nurses' spiritual well-being and their job satisfaction (P<0.05). Also, mean score of nurses' job satisfaction was 61.89 (12.63) and mean score of spiritual well-being was 89.85 (13.64) and both were above average (P<0.05). Type of employment, age, and sex had significant relationship with job satisfaction (P<0.05). According to the findings of this study, it is recommended that the relevant stakeholders and authorities increase their nurses' job satisfaction, pay special attention to the issue of spiritual health and improvement of it, because increasing spiritual health increases nurses’ job satisfaction and ultimately lead to better Care services will be better for patients.
