Abstract
Moral sensitivity, as the foundation of nursing ethics, should be considered from the beginning of nursing education. It is expected that some individual variables, such as self-compassion and emotional intelligence, have a relationship with the variable of moral sensitivity. The aim of present study is to investigate the predictive value of self-compassion and emotional intelligence on moral sensitivity of nursing students of Birjand University of Medical Sciences.The present study was descriptive and correlational. The target population was the nursing students of Birjand University of Medical Sciences, 263 of whom were included in the study by census method. The research tools included checklist of individual characteristics and standard questionnaires of Raes self-compassion, emotional intelligence of Bradbury and Graves, and nurses moral sensitivity of Lutzen. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical tests in SPSS version 19 software. The results of the study showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between moral sensitivity and emotional intelligence (r=0.37, p<0.01). no significant relationship was observed between moral sensitivity and self-compassion (r=0.44, p <0.05). The stepwise multiple regression analysis also showed that emotional intelligence as a predictor variable alone explains 13% of the variance of moral sensitivity (p < 0.001), while self-compassion does not have a significant contribution in predicting moral sensitivity (p > 0.05). The key conclusion is that emotional intelligence can predict the moral sensitivity of nursing students, suggesting that emotional intelligence training should be incorporated into nursing curricula and effective teaching methods should be explored.

Abstract
With the increasing elderly population and the growing demand for home healthcare and end-of-life care services, nurses are facing expanded duties and responsibilities. This intensification of responsibilities can expose them to significant ethical challenges. This study aimed to investigate the ethical issues nurses encounter in providing end-of-life care at home for elderly patients. This review study involved a comprehensive search of databases including PubMed (Medline), Google Scholar, ISI Scopus, ProQuest, Science Direct, SID, IranDoc, IranMedex, and Magiran. The keywords used were: nursing ethics, ethical challenges, end-of-life care, and home care, along with their Persian equivalents. The search covered literature published between 2000 and 2024. The review identified several prominent ethical challenges faced by nurses in home-based end-of-life care, including: lack of attention to patients’ rights and independence, disrespect for the dignity of elderly patients, inadequate empathetic care, poor communication, and unsafe home environments for nurses. These challenges may lead to moral distress, as well as psychological and emotional consequences for both the care providers and the elderly patients. Given the serious ethical challenges nurses face in end-of-life home care for the elderly, it is essential for them to be well-versed in ethical principles relevant to this context. Enhancing awareness and competence in ethical practices can help nurses uphold patient rights, promote autonomy, and provide high-quality, compassionate care through effective communication and support.
