Abstract
Quality of nursing care services directly influences individuals' health status. Compiling codes of ethics according to the religion and culture of each population could be an appropriate approach in improving quality of health care services especially nursing care. Hence, the most important priority in our national health system is developing ethical guidelines.
For this purpose a task force has been established in collaboration with nurses, physicians, lawyers and clergymen who were expert in the field of medical ethics. The code of ethics for Iranian nurses was drafted in 2010. The draft that included 12 values and 71 regulations of professional ethics were finally approved in the second session of the Ethics Supreme Council of the Ministry of Health and Medical Education on 6 March, 2010.
The values consist of concepts such as maintaining human dignity, adherence to professional obligations, accountability and responsibility, patient privacy, promotion of scientific and practical competence and respect to individual's autonomy.
Also, 71 regulations of professional ethics divided to five sections including "Nurse and Community" consisting of 9 items, "Nurse and Professional Commitments" with 14 items, "Nurse and Clinical Services" with 23 items, "The Nurse and Other Healthcare Providers in Medical Team" with 15 items, and also "Nurse, Education and Research" including 10 items.

Organizational justice is of great importance particularly for hospital personnel, and job stress has the potential to put their health at risk. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between organizational justice and job stress among the personnel of a hospital in Isfahan.
In this correlation study, the samples consisted of 150 personnel that were working in a governmental hospital in Isfahan. Samples were selected through convenience sampling in 2012. Data were gathered by personal data questionnaire, Niehoff organizational justice questionnaire and job stress questionnaire. Data were analyzed by descriptive and analytical statistics.
Results showed that job stress among hospital personnel varied from 48.6% (moderate) to 39.4% (mild) and 12% (severe). Moreover, findings showed there was a relationship between organizational justice in the domain of interactional justice and job stress among hospital personnel (r = - 0.18, P = 0.03).
According to the findings, it is essential to pay attention to the concept of organizational justice in hospitals in order to decrease job stress among the personnel.

Abstract
In order to achieve teamwork-based and integrated care, one of the issues in health care is the implementation of ethics and values in teamwork. The aim of this study is to develop the interprofessional collaborative ethics framework.This cross sectional study was conducted in two phases. In phase one, core competencies of the interprofessional collaborative ethics were determined by literature review. In phase two, Delphi rounds of experts were undertaken to validate the competencies and calculate content validity indexes through Content Validity Ratio (CVR) and Content Validity Index (CVI).The interviews and Delphi rounds identified 12 competencies categorized in three core themes including patient-centered values, interprofessional collaborative ethics, and team-based values. In phase two, based on the mean scores of importance, utility, and clarity, patient center value (4.9), interprofessional ethics competencies (4.6), and team-based values (4.5) were determined as essential themes.In conclusion, the validation of the inter-professional ethics framework was found to be acceptable in the Iranian context. Therefore, the framework for teaching and evaluating inter-professional ethical competencies is an applicable tool in the Iranian context.

Abstract
Values in the nursing profession improve the quality of patient care and enhance job satisfaction among nurses. Therefore, promoting professional nursing values is an important aspect of nursing education. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the professional values among nursing students in their last semester in nursing schools across Kerman province.A total of 152 students in their last semester in five schools of nursing across Kerman province (cities of Kerman, Bam, Jiroft, Zarand and Rafsanjan) participated in this cross-sectional study. Data were collected using a two-part questionnaire that included demographic variables and Nursing Professional Values Scale - Revised (NPVS-R) in five dimensions (caring, activism, trust, professionalism and justice). The reliability of the questionnaire using Cronbach's alpha coefficient was calculated at 0.91. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential non-parametric statistical tests (Mann-Whitney and Spearman’s rho correlation coefficient) in SPSS 18.Of the five dimensions of professional values, the highest mean score (37.8 ± 4.6) pertained to the caring dimension and the lowest mean score (12.68 ± 1.92) was related to the justice dimension. There was a significant negative correlation between age and professional values (r = - 0.02, P = 0.01). Results of the Mann-Whitney test showed a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the justice, activism, trust and professionalism dimensions and sex (P < 0.05) and between the total mean score of professional values and the place of education (P = 0.003).From the perspective of students, the dimensions of professional values were prioritized in the following order: caring, trust, activism, professionalism and justice. Nevertheless, the majority of students were not aware of the importance of some dimensions of professional values. Therefore, appropriate planning and teaching methods and strategies are required to enhance all dimensions of professional values.

Abstract
This study analyzed the credibility perceptions from the perspective of Allameh Tabatabai, one of the prominent Iranian philosophers in the field of philosophy of ethics. Tabatabai emphasizes the significance of credibility based on fundamental values such as truth and justice, arguing that credibility should be rooted in these values. He also pays attention to the analysis of credibility perceptions and underscores their importance in human behaviors and decision-making. The study further delved into how individuals’ credibility perceptions are formed and highlighted the significance of grounding these perceptions on rational arguments, as well as religious and mystical experiences. Credibility perceptions play a crucial role in shaping ethical values and principles and have a direct impact on human ethical behaviors. Moreover, Tabatabai emphasizes the importance of willpower, faith, and piety in shaping human ethical behaviors, explaining that, for individuals to achieve their goals, they must possess knowledge and awareness and make decisions to perform actions based on precise knowledge. These credibility perceptions not only play a vital role in human interaction with the material world but also contribute to the formation of their ethical cognition. Finally, the study demonstrated that analyzing credibility perceptions and focusing on ethical principles and values can contribute to the establishment of suitable ethical environments required for the formation of ethical behaviors. In other words, this study considered credibility perceptions as a solution to addressing ethical challenges in societies and cultures
