Although, the quality of medical education has improved in Iran, but medical ethics teaching has not accomplished effective alteration yet. For deeper and more actual recognition of the challenges of medical ethics curriculum, we interviewed medical ethics instructors in a qualitative study. The data was collected by semi-structured interview with fourteen medical ethics instructors of Tehran University of Medical Sciences in 1389 and analyzed by Mairing content analyzing approach. Results of this study shows weaknesses and challenges in medical ethics curriculum which presented under five themes: comprehensiveness of goals, composing organization, proportion of content, active teaching method, and comprehensive system of evaluation.

Abstract
As a result of the changes made in health care systems, nurses nowadays are faced with more complicated ethical dilemmas. Therefore, they need to be familiar with ethical decision-making procedures and have the ability to perform ethical reasoning. The present study aimed to evaluate this ability in nurses and investigate its relationship with demographic characteristics in a subspecialized hospital in Tehran during 2015. This was a descriptive-analytical study, and the research population consisted of 245 qualified nurses selected by census. A demographic questionnaire and Crisham’s Nursing Dilemma Test were used to collect the data. Descriptive-analytical tests and SPSS software version 22 were used for data analysis. Based on the, the mean value of the nurses’ ethical reasoning was 40.81 ± 6.72, which is lower than the average score of the test. Furthermore, increased work experience led to a reduction in the mean value of ethical reasoning (P ≤ 0.05). Overall, single subjects scored higher in the mean ethical reasoning than those who were married (P ≤ 0.05), but no significant relationship was observed between other demographic characteristics and the mean of ethical reasoning. Due to the nurses’ low ability to perform ethical reasoning, further studies will need to be conducted on proper training methods to promote ethical decision-making in nurses. As regards the reduced ethical reasoning ability in nurses with more work experience, it is necessary to identify the reasons and devise appropriate solutions with the help of nursing managers and hospital ethics committees.

Abstract
Moral distress has been identified in nursing literature as a major dilemma affecting nurses in all healthcare systems. It is viewed as an important factor threatening the integrity of nurses and ultimately the quality of patient care. The present study attempted to determine levels of moral distress among the nursing staff employed in hospitals across the city of Malayer. This was a descriptive and cross-sectional study conducted on 195 nurses of Malayer hospitals during 2015. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire and the standard moral distress scale (MDS). Data analysis was performed by descriptive and analytical statistics using SPSS software version 18.
In this study, 88 nurses (45.1%) were found to be suffering from severe moral distress. The most important factors causing moral distress pertained to substandard care and treatment due to a shortage of health professionals and care providers (6.6±0.21), physician orders for unnecessary tests, treatments and care (6±0.12), and measures taken by staff who lacked clinical competency (5.9±0.22). Among the nurses’ demographic data, gender (P=0.001), job experience (P=0.001) and nursing ward (P=0.01) were significantly related to the level of moral distress experienced by the nursing staff. The results imply that in nursing, moral distress is a highly important and pertinent issue that requires greater consideration by health service managers, policymakers and nurse educators.

A total 150 nurses were selected. To collect information from the Carlson et al work - family conflict questionnaire, work ethics questionnaire of Gregory. C. Petty (1990) and revised French et al. nursing stress scale was used. The results showed that there is a negative significant correlation between job stress with work ethic (P<0.01). Also, there was a negative significant correlation between the work-family conflict with work ethics (P<0.05). In addition, this study showed that job stress plays mediating role between work-family conflict and work ethics in nurses. In general, the interaction between family and work issues influence nurces' performance. As family and work interactions and job stress are predictors of work ethics of nurses. Education about managing and improving quality of nurses' marital and family life and training the stress management can improve nurses' work ethics.

Abstract
Spiritual health (SH) is a supernatural force and endeavor to achieve perfection and peace of mind in life.When it is endangered, a person experiences loss of meaning in life. In nursing, caring services and SH are related to each other. It is necessary to promote the SH of nurses so that patients will receive better care. The study aim was the effect of spiritual education on SH of nursing students. In this quasi-experimental study, 76 of undergraduate nursing students were selected using random simple sampling method and divided into experimental group (EG) and control group (CG) (n= 38) with random allocation method. Educational intervention was done for the EG for a period of 4 weeks, a 60-minute session per week, but no intervention was performed for the CG. Four weeks after the intervention, the post-test was taken in 2 groups. Data were collected using the SH scale by Paloutzian and Ellison. Independent t-test didn’t indicate any difference before the intervention in the mean score of SH in 2 groups (t=-0.49, p=0.62), while in the post-test, the independent t-test indicated the mean score of SH was higher in the EG than in the CG (t=-2.14, p<0.03). After the intervention, there was a significant increase in the SH (t=-4.39, p<0.001) in the EG. The paired t-test indicated no difference in the SH in the CG compared to the pre and post-test (t=-0.25, p<0.79). Spritual education influenced SH of nursing students. It is recommended that spiritual education be considered as one of the strategies for promoting SH in students.

After completing the questionnaire, they completed 187 sample questionnaires. SPSS software was used to analyze the data. The results of the study showed that the mean score of nurses' moral courage was 413.37 with a standard deviation of 46.70. Thirty percent had moderate moral courage and 69.5% had high moral courage. The results of the independent T-test and ANOVA showed that there is a statistically significant relationship between the variable employment status and the moral courage of nurses. Considering the results of this study and the many ethical challenges that exist in the nursing profession, the issue of moral courage and related factors and providing solutions to improve it, should be at the forefront of the health organization and nursing managers.
