Aims: The present study aimed to Evaluate of relationship between drugs’ safety competence and Medication Administration Error Perceptions in clinical nurses who are working in clinical nurses of northwest Iran Background: The first and most important aim of a medical facility, as in the Nightingale pledge, is to not harm patients and protect their safety in the first place. One of the major threats to patient safety is drug-related errors. Methods: This correlational study was conducted in Ardabil, northwest of Iran, in 2023. In these 300 nurses have been categorized by a proportional stratified sampling method. For data collection, we used the Bijani et al(2023) Persian version of the medication safety competence Questionnaire and the Wakefield et all (2005) Medication Administration Error Perceptions Questionnaire”.The collected data were analyzed in SPSS software (26) using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, analysis of variance, Pearson correlation coefficients, and linear regression model. Results: The results revealed that the drug safety competencies in Nurses (77%) and Medication Administration Error Perceptions in nurses (96%) were at a moderate level. The mean nurses’ drug safety competence and Medication Administration Error Perceptions were reported (294.22 ± 26.61) and (135.48 ± 15.14) and this difference was statistically significant (P<0.001). There was a positive and significant correlation between drug safety competencies and Medication Administration Error Perceptions (P=0.007, r=0.15). A simple linear regression model showed that The field of "patient-centered medication management" of medication safety competency was a stronger predictor than other variables in medication error perception. Conclusion: In the present study, nurses reported medication safety competence and perception of medication error at an average level. It is suggested that health policymakers and decision-makers take the necessary measures by holding consensus meetings and effective workshops to reduce medication errors and improve nurses' medication perception.

“…In order to accomplish this, the panel was given the instrument back, and they were requested to evaluate the items based on their relevance and importance to the study’s subject matter. According to the Lawshe table, the acceptable CVR was reported as 0.49 34 , 35 . However, five items with a CVR of 0.33 were removed from the study.…”

The moral intelligence of healthcare professionals in the cardiac operating room is one of the most important aspects of professional competence. However, moral intelligence is an abstract and multidimensional concept that needs to be clarified and described based on organizational culture and environment. Therefore, there is a need to design a specific scale for measuring the moral intelligence of healthcare professionals in the cardiac operating room. This study aims to design and assess the psychometric properties of a moral intelligence scale for healthcare professionals in the cardiac operating room. The present study was a mixed method study with a sequential exploratory approach. The research was conducted in 2023–2024 in Iran. The first phase data were collected from 20 healthcare professionals and were analyzed by conventional content analysis method. In the second phase, the validity and reliability of the instrument were evaluated by involving 300 healthcare professionals in the cardiac operating room. The moral intelligence of health care professionals in the cardiac operating room was defined as moral sensitivity combined with moral commitment and moral courage for the provision of quality care that respects the principles of medical ethics. After deducing the conceptual framework, the moral intelligence scale for healthcare professionals in the cardiac operating room was developed with three dimensions: “moral sensitivity,” “moral commitment,” and “moral courage.” 11 items were removed during testing to ensure content validity. Face validity was confirmed with impact scores > 1.5 for all items. A scale was developed through factor analysis with three factors that accounted for 73.04% of the observed variance. The instrument’s reliability using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient calculation was reported as 0.94 for the entire instrument. The testretest showed no statistically significant difference between the pre and post-test scores of moral intelligence (p = 0.51). The moral intelligence scale demonstrated acceptable psychometric properties. The moral intelligence scale for health care professionals in the cardiac operating room demonstrated acceptable psychometric properties. This instrument may serve to assess the moral intelligence of healthcare professionals and determine the need for educational interventions to reduce the ethical challenges and improve the moral intelligence of this healthcare.

“…The importance of each item in a 5-point Likert scale including completely important (5 points), somewhat important (4 points), moderately important (3 points), slightly important (2 points) and not important (1 point) was investigated. In this part, if the impact score of each item was higher than 1.5, it was recognized as suitable for further analysis and was retained 30 .…”

Nurses may experience burnout more than other professions. Occupational burnout is a serious concern considering the importance of nurses' jobs in patient care. This study was carried out with the aim of designing and validating the questionnaire of burnout factors in the operating room nurses. Mixed method study was done in two qualitative and quantitative phases in 2022 on Iranian operating room nurses. In the first stage, the concept of operating room nurses' burnout was explained using interviews and literature review, and items were generated. In the second stage, the face validity, content and construct validity of the questionnaire was examined with 342 operating room nurses, and also the reliability of the questionnaire was tested using internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) and stability (test–retest). After conducting the interview and literature review, 65 questions were extracted. Based on face validity, 4 items were modified. After content validity, 40 items remained. In construct validity, after exploratory factor analysis, 34 items with 5 dimensions were extracted. These dimensions included Organizational, Individual, Interpersonal, Occupational Nature and Managerial factors. Cronbach's alpha and intra-class correlation coefficient were equal to 0.937 and 0.946, respectively. The designed tool based on understanding the concept of burnout in operating room nurses has appropriate and acceptable validity and reliability. Therefore, it can be used to measure burnout in operating room nurses.
