Introduction:Moral attitudes are an introduction to ethical behavior. And ethical performance is among the requirements of nurses' clinical practice. Nurses need to consider ethical dilemmas related to their responsibilities at the bedside and back up the rights of their clients at the time of decision-making and manage ethical dilemmas effectively in clinical practice. The aim of this study is to determine the attitude and practice of nursing students, teachers and administrators in Kerman University of Medical Sciences about the concept of professional ethics in nursing.
Materials and Methods:This descriptive study was conducted on 168 nursing instructors, students and administrators of the School of Nursing and Midwifery of Kerman Razi University and hospitals affiliated with Kerman University of Medical Sciences using Sampling Census during 2011. Ethics-in-Nursing questionnaire with validity r = 0.76 was used for data collection. Data analysis was performed using descriptive and analytical statistics.
Results:In this study, 70 (41.7 percent) students, 14 (3.8%) teachers and 84 (50%) clinical nurses took part. and standard deviation of Students was 65/67 ± 8/3 .There was a statistically significant and positive correlation between nurses' attitude and their clinical practice (P < 0.02).
Conclusion:Based on the results, ethical attitude and performance is relatively good in all three study groups, while, evidence is indicative of the inadequacy of ethical behavior in such clinical situations that require investigation, identification and provision of solutions to enhance tangible dimensions of moral performance.
Background and objectives: Patient safety culture is one of the basic principles of health care. Nurses are the first to be involved in the implementation of this culture in clinical settings. The aim of this study was to determine effect of in-person and E-training on patient safety culture of nurse managers working in hospitals affiliated to the Golestan University of Medical Sciences, Golestan Province, Iran. Methods: This semi-experimental study was conducted on 60 nurse managers working in hospitals affiliated to the Golestan University of Medical Sciences in 2012. The subjects were randomly divided into an in-person training group and an E-training group. Data were collected using the patient safety culture questionnaire (originally designed by Liane Ginsburg). SPSS (version 16) was used for analysis of data using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: After the training intervention, the patient safety culture improved significantly in both groups (P<0.001). However, the mean score of patient safety culture in the in-person training group was significantly higher than that in the E-training group (P<0.03).
Conclusion:The results of this study showed that both training programs are beneficial for promoting the patient safety culture in nurse managers. Since the support, commitment and understanding of hospital managers are crucial for creating a positive safety culture, managers can provide planned strategies for improving patient safety.
