Abstract
Heart failure not only affacts the patients but also their families and social networks. This study was conducted to evaluate the development & psychometric properties of the Social Dignity Questionnaire (SDQ) in heart failure patients. This study is an exploratory research of questionnaire design type. Twenty two patients with class II to IV heart failure (New York Heart Association Functional Classification) were chosen through purposive sampling from selected hospitals of Tehran, and semi-structured interviews were conducted with them. Qualitative content analysis was performed to analyze the interviews. The primary items were developed based on the findings obtained from the interviews, literature and designed questionnaires about social dignity. Content validity and construct validity were determined in 130 patients with heart failure. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 19. Through face validity and content validity analysis, 16 out of 101 primary items were removed. As a result of exploratory factor analysis, 2 items with factor loading less than 0.5 were deleted, and 6 were removed due to inclusion in other factors. The following five factors were extracted: family communication and support, social communication and support, health care communication and support, burden to others (physical, emotional and social), and burden to others (economic). Reliability of the Social Dignity Questionnaire (SDQ) was calculated to be 0.97 by using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, and 0.99 by using split-half method.Considering the acceptable validity and reliability of the questionnaire in the present study, its application can be useful in planning support for patients and improving their treatment and care. The questionnaire may also be helpful in conducting further research related to dignity in different patients

Abstract
Respect for the inherent dignity of human beings means respecting their basic rights in different environments, and this has an important role in studies and discussions about health care. This study was conducted on the development and psychometric properties of the Inherent Dignity Questionnaire (IDQ) in heart failure patients. The present study is a methodological research for designing a questionnaire. First, 22 patients with class II to IV heart failure were chosen by purposive sampling from patients of Hazrate Rasoule Akram, Imam Hossein and Shariati hospitals of Tehran, and semi-structured interviews were conducted on ethical issues until data saturation was achieved. A qualitative content analysis was carried out to analyze the interviews. Then, based on the findings obtained from the interviews, literature, and the designed questionnaires about inherent dignity, 39 items associated with inherent dignity in heart failure patients were developed. The face validity of the questionnaire was determined. To measure the content validity of the questionnaire, opinions of 12 experts were used considering Content Validity Index (CVI), Content Validity Ratio (CVR) and Lawshe table. To assess construct validity of the IDQ, exploratory factor analysis and to determine the reliability of the questionnaire, internal consistency with Chronbach’s alpha coefficient and split-half method were used on 130 patients with heart failure. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 19.Through face validity and content validity analysis, 4 out of the 39 primary items were removed, leaving 35 items. Through exploratory factor analysis, 11 items with factor loading less than 0.5 were removed and the IDQ was created with 24 items and three factors (9 items on the first factor, 8 items on the second factor and 7 items on third factor). These factors were: "inherent dignity in family", "inherent dignity in the community" and "inherent dignity in health care environments". Reliability of the Social Dignity Questionnaire (SDQ) was calculated to be 0.94 by using Cronbach's alpha coefficient, and 0.96 by using split-half method.Results of this study showed that the IDQ is adequately valid and reliable. Therefore, using this questionnaire can be beneficial to planning support for patients and improving their treatment and care and doing further research related to dignity in different patients.

Abstract
Moral sensitivity is one of the important criteria in the principles of professional ethics and psychology is the theme of some of its dimensions, thus the aim of this study was to explain meaning of moral sensitivity by emphasizing on its psychological dimensions from the perspective of operating room treatment staff. In this quantitative research, a semi-structured and in-depth interview was conducted with a total of 11 operating room treatment staff. Content analysis was carried out by Strauss and Corbin method. Output of the recent study includes three themes of environmental variables, individual and interpersonal events and problems, and the reciprocal rights of the patient and medical staff. Dimensions of moral sensitivity included degree of respect for the client's independence, level of awareness about how to communicate with the patient, level of professional knowledge, experience of moral problems and conflicts, use of ethical concepts in moral decisions, and honesty and benevolence. Our observations revealed difference between views of the staff from various dimensions of "moral sensitivity" with what is actually mentioned in the texts. To the extent that many of the interviewees perceived moral sensitivity as something that offends them personally.
