Introduction: Empathy, spiritual intelligence and social responsibility are Factors affecting on expanding the quality of nursing services and can have a basic role on the patients' rights. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between empathy and spiritual intelligence with nurses' attitudes towards the rights of patients with mediation of social responsibility. Methods: This descriptive-correlational study based on the structural model was conducted on 300 nurses in west Azerbaijan in 2016. Data gathering instruments included the Jefferson empathy scale, Salkovskis responsibility scale, King spiritual intelligence scale and the questionnaire of patients' rights of Hoshmand et al. Data were analyzed using descriptive (frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation) and inferential (Pearson correlation coefficient and Path analysis) statistics with SPSS and Amos-22 software. Results: The results showed a significant direct effect of empathy (P = 0.04, r = 0.05), spiritual intelligence (P = 0.04, r =-0.19), and social responsibility (P = 0.001, r = 0.62) on nurses' attitudes towards the rights of patients. The results also showed an indirect effect of empathy (P = 0. 05) and spiritual intelligence (P = 0. 03) on nurses' attitudes towards the rights of patients with mediation of the social responsibility. Also, 40% of the variance of the nurses' attitudes towards the rights of patients was determined using empathy, spiritual intelligence and responsibility. Conclusions: It seems that increasing empathy, spiritual intelligence and responsibility can improve the nurses' attitudes towards the rights of patients. In order to consider the rights of patients, it is recommended that necessary actions be performed in training empathy, spiritual intelligence and social responsibility among nurses.
Compassionate care is considered one of the important elements of patient-centered and oriented care that gives health to the patient. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of designing and explaining the model of compassionate care of nurses based on moral identity and compassion for the lives of others. The present research method was done according to path analysis. The statistical sample included 250 patients with covid-19 and 250 nurses working in the corona department of hospitals in West Azerbaijan province in 2021, which were selected by available sampling method. Rodriguez's compassionate care questionnaire, Black and Reynolds' moral identity questionnaire, and Chang's scale of compassion for others' lives were used to collect data. The data were analyzed using Pearson, Bootstrap and Sobel tests and also through SPSS and Amos software program, version 24. The results showed that the variable of moral identify in interaction with the mediating role of compassion for the lives of others in explaining the compassionate care of nurses. A total of 0. 41 of the variance of compassionate care was explained through model variables. The direct effect of moral identity (0. 47), compassion for the lives of others (0. 36) was observed and it was significant in explaining the compassionate care model. Also, the result showed that the indirect effect of moral identity was found to be significant through the mediation of compassion and also towards the lives of others (2. 96). Considering the variable mediating effect of compassion towards the lives of others in the relationship between moral identity and compassionate care of nurses, it seems that the growth or strengthening of compassion towards the lives of others and moral identity can promote the compassionate care of nurses.
