Introduction: In case of negligence of the medical staff leading to the death of the patient, the offender may be sentenced to imprisonment in addition to paying wergild to the parents of the deceased. However, for the medical staff, being sentenced to imprisonment due to their high social status in the country, in addition to entering and damaging the community's therapeutic community, may have many negative consequences for a person that in the future career They have a great impact. Therefore, it is necessary to pay special attention to alternative punishments in the field. Aims: The present article examines the possibility of an alternative to imprisonment with a case study of a specific case in which the patient dies due to the negligence of the medical staff, and generally evaluates the view of the Iranian legislature regarding alternative punishments to imprisonment in connection with medical malpractice. Discussion: Providing a definition of alternatives to imprisonment and their examples, and matching nursing or medical malpractice with one of alternatives to imprisonment, requires a legal process that is within the jurisdiction of the judicial authority. In this way, the judge uses this mechanism according to the amount of injuries and the percentage of faults and some of the characteristics of the accused. Conclusions: Examination of existing laws and regulations indicates that the issuance of an alternative punishment to imprisonment is within the authority of the judicial authority and is in no way a privilege for the medical staff.

Introduction: Patient-centered care (PCC) is a valuable and logical concept in the nursing discipline. The aim of this study was to development and psychometrically evaluate a patient-centered care questionnaire in CICUs (PCC-CICUs). Methods: This methodological study was performed in two phases. The first phase is the qualitative stage by grounded theory study in which, a literature review was carried out for tool development. The second phase includes a psychometric evaluation of the PCC-CICUs. The tool’, s content validity was performed by skilled nurses in the field of patient-centered care. The reliability of the tool was assessed by Cronbach's alpha and its stability was measured by internal consistency and reliability. Exploratory factor analysis was used to determine the construct validity. Results: The PCC-CICUs was evaluated for validity and reliability. Exploratory factor analysis was used to assess the construct validity. The analysis led to the development of a tool with 28 items in four dimensions of patient and family empowerment, understanding the patient, skill and expertise, and respecting the patient and family, which accounted for 35. 380% of the variance. Cronbach's alpha of the tool was 0. 68. The test-retest method supported the stability of the instrument. Conclusions: Patient-centered care questionnaire in cardiac intensive care units is a standard and accepted questionnaire to assess the amount of patient-centered care from the patients' point of view.
