“…In addition, patients who are more satisfied show better adherence with treatment and more compliant and cooperative. 12 Patient satisfaction is largely dependent on nursing care. 13 Although studies have shown that nurses' awareness of their ethical responsibilities are becoming increasingly, however nurses have been ill-prepared to identify ethical dilemma and determining the appropriate method to solve the moral problem.…”

Introduction: The quality of care affects patients’ satisfaction. To provide high quality care, nurses face ethical challenges in daily practice. Moral sensitivity is the first phase in moral implementation. This study aimed to determine the relationship between nurses’ moral sensitivity and patients’ satisfaction in medical wards. Methods: In descriptive correlational study 198 nurses and 198 patients in 17 medical wards filled out the Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire (MSQ) and Patient Satisfaction with Nursing Care Quality Questionnaire (PSNCQQ), respectively. Nurses were sampled by the census method. For each nurse, a patient was selected randomly from the same ward. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 13. Results: The highest scores were in the dimensions of “relational orientation” and “following the rules”, and the lowest scores were in the dimensions of “autonomy” and “experiencing moral conflicts”. The highest level of patients’ satisfaction was with “nurses’ professional performance” 3.98 (1.09), and the lowest level was with “nurses’ routine work” 2.69 (1.22). There was no significant relationship between the mean of patient satisfaction and moral sensitivity of nurses. Conclusion: Considering that nurses had a higher score in dimension of “following the rules” and a lower score in dimension of “autonomy”, it seems ethical performance in the real situation is not merely due to the nurses’ moral sensitivity and it seems the complexity of the organization causes nurses face difficulties in making decisions related to clinical practice; therefore, policy makers in the health system should be able to identify barriers.

“…The concurrent validity testing of TSQM domains provided evidence of correlation with various selfreported adherence indicators [22,23], with the side effects [22] and convenience scores [23] being the strongest predictors of the adherence outcome. The English version of TSQM 1.4 was translated into Arabic and adapted for evaluating treatment satisfaction in various settings, such as diabetes [25], hypertension [26], major depressive disorder [27], and renal transplant [28].…”

“…Minaiyan et al found a significant reverse relationship between age and compliance with drug regimen, but no significant relationship between gender and compliance with treatment (34). Alkatheri et al stated that gender had a significant correlation with medication adherence; therefore, males were significantly more likely to be adherent than females (36). Also, Awodele and Osuolale indicated a significant relationship between patient's age and gender, and adherence to medication (35).…”

Background: Today, the medical world faces an increase in the incidence of chronic diseases. Medication adherence is an essential component of the effective treatment of such diseases and failure to it, especially in the elderly, has a negative impact on health. Objectives: The current study aimed at determining the level of medication adherence in the elderly with chronic diseases referring to academic medical centers in Ardabil, Iran. Methods: In the current cross sectional study, 222 elderly patients with chronic diseases (i e, musculoskeletal, diabetes, cardiovascular and renal conditions) referring to the clinics of Imam Khomeini, Fatemi, and Alavi hospitals in Ardabil in 2018 were selected by convenience sampling method. Data were collected using a questionnaire including demographic characteristics and the Morisky medication adherence scale (MMAS). The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multivariate logistic regression analysis with SPSS version 16. Results:The mean age of the elderly was 68.25 ± 7.65 years; 187 (84%) subjects had unsatisfactory medication adherence (score < 6) and only 35 (16%) had a good medication adherence (score > 6). The probability of satisfactory adherence to medication was higher in the elderly with higher level of education, but other variables such as age, gender, occupational status, income level, network of life, place of residence, marital status, and type of chronic disease had no significant effect on medication adherence. Conclusions: The high level of medication non-adherence in the elderly with chronic diseases is a matter of concern and it seems necessary to perform studies on the barriers to medication adherence in the elderly and solve them.
