Background & Aims: The nursing master degree programs should prepare graduate nurses to integrate advanced theoretical, research-based, and clinical knowledge into clinical nursing practice. Since comparing the nursing master degree programs in different universities is of key importance in identifying their strengths and weaknesses and utilizing successful strategies and experiences, this study aimed to compare Iranian neonatal nursing curriculum with the neonatal nursing curriculum of the McMaster University of Canada.
Materials & Methods: This descriptive comparative study was conducted in 2018 using the Beredy model in four steps of description, interpretation, proximity, and comparison. The comparative elements included the philosophy, mission, vision, value, goals and objectives, Graduates;#39 roles, entry requirements, duration and courses, executive strategies, teaching and evaluation methods, and accreditation.
Results: The values and goals of both master programs were based on the beliefs and values of the community and their mission was clear. In the Iranian program, the role of neonatal nurses included the supportive, educational, research, and management while the Canadian program did not mention the future roles of their neonatal nurses. Also, the McMaster University provided more comprehensive and more relevant admission requirements and postgraduate courses for the neonatal nursing program than the similar Iranian program.
Conclusion: The results showed that the Iranian neonatal nursing program, compared to the Canadian one in McMaster University, has mainly focused on research and has had executive failures in organizing robust entry requirements for student admission, enriching the students’ competencies in specialized neonatal nursing skills, and providing and securing a better position for the graduates in the clinical settings. Therefore, we should address these deficiencies in the Iranian neonatal nursing program to improve our curriculum and achieve better outcomes and high-quality care in the field of nursing practice.

Background & Aims: Empathy is the basis of the healthcare provider-patient relationship which has favorable outcomes for patients in stressful and technological environment of operating room. Determining the empathy score in operating room students can help to identify existing deficiencies and enhance this skill. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the empathy for patient score and its related factors in undergraduate operating room students.
Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional (descriptive analysis) study was carried out in the academic year 2017-2018 on 110 operating room students from the first to the fourth years that were selected by convenience sampling in the School of Nursing and Midwifery at Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. The research instrument completed by the samples was the Jefferson Scale of Empathy-Health Profession Students version. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and statistical tests in SPSS 22.0 software.
Results: Total mean empathy scores of operating room students was 89.2 ± 14.2 and the scores of its dimensions including: perspective-taking was 55.06 ± 5.5, compassionate care was 26.3 ± 12.01 and standing in patient’s shoes was 7.8 ± 2.3. There was no significant difference between the total empathy scores and demographic characteristics of the samples.
Conclusion: The empathy score in operating room students was moderate. So empathetic communication training for students in this field of study should be considered. Since the relationship between empathy score and demographic characteristics was not significant, definite conclusion in this regard requires more research.

Background & Aims: Patient safety is the priority of the operating room. Since retained surgical items and specimen management errors are the most important safety issues, operating room nurses and technologist are in a unique position to report the errors that occur in the OR. On the other hand, documentation is also the task of these personnel, so the aim of present study is to determine the effect of counting surgical items and specimen care documentation forms on the number of reported errors.
Materials & Methods: A semi-experimental, single-group and pre-post design was conducted. Sampling was done by census and 65 technologists and nurses met the study inclusion criteria. The data collection tool was an error reporting questionnaire. During intervention documentation of the intraoperative care was performed for two months and the error reporting questionnaire was distributed before and after intervention period.
Results: The frequency of unreported errors after the intervention was significantly decreased but the frequency of oral reported errors were not significantly different between before and after the intervention, and the frequency of counting surgical items written errors after the intervention was significantly increased.
Conclusion: Using appropriate documentation can encourage OR nurses and technologists to report errors and increase patient safety.

Background & Aims: The occurrence of errors in writing skill in English language is a typical issue among the foreign language learners that requires an error analysis in detail. Accordingly, the purpose of present study is to analysis the type of written errors in papers submitted to Nursing and Midwifery Journal of Urmia University of Medical Sciences before conducting any scientific editing.
Materials & Methods: In order to analyze the errors, from among a number of papers submitted to the journal, the English abstract of 50 papers were selected randomly, and the type of written errors were analyzed regarding the frequency and percentage of their occurrence. To analyze the data, SPSS software, version 16 was used.
Results: The findings revealed that the ratio of errors in terms of interlanguage interference (first language interference) in the target language (English) was more than the errors in the intralanguage interference (the target language itself), and they were more related to grammatical and lexical errors.
Conclusion: The findings showed that first language has a significant effect on the occurrence of written errors in the target language. Therefore, by analyzing the type of errors, and rooting out their causes, we can evaluate the writing proficiency level of the submitters in the target language (English), to prevent the repetition of same written errors in their written materials.
