Introduction: Nurses are an integral part of the health system and predicting their behaviors in different situations is important for policymakers and managers of the health system. The present study was conducted to determine efficiency of the theory of planned behaviour in predicting the behaviour of nurses in different situations. Methods: The current narrative review study was conducted via searching in electronic databases including PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, SID, Magiran and Iran Medex and by using the appropriate English and Persian keywords of Attitude, Theory of Planned Behaviour, Behaviour, Behavioral Intention, Perceived Behavioral Control, Subjective Norms, Nursing Care over the period of 2000-2020. Result: Theory of planned behavior has been successfully used for prediction and explanation of a variety of behaviors and health tips such as high-risk behaviors, women’, s services, childbirth and breastfeeding, safety behaviors and oral health. According to the results of several studies, including studies in Korea and Taiwan, the above theory has been used to determine the causes of nurses 'behavior in patient care and the causes of nurses' activities in performing their duties. Conclusions: Predicting people's behavior and planning based on these predictions in specific situations certainly has a significant role on the performance of the organization and controlling the situation. On the other hand, human behavior is influenced by various factors and its prediction requires different factors. The theory of planned behavior has a suitable model for predicting the behavior of individuals, including nurses, and this model can be used to plan and policy in specific situations in the field of nurses' performance.

Introduction: Nursing managers have extensive relationships in the organization and Communication is the key to working processes and relationships to achieve organizational goals,Therefore, nursing managers should be aware of the communication process and communication competencies.

Introduction: Studies have shown that the level of basic psychological needs (autonomy, competence and communication) in nurses is low in proportion to their job position and this issue needs further investigation. Studies have also shown that communication, training and counseling can improve the level of self-determination needs, competence and autonomy in nurses. The effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy on the level of self-determination needs (perceived autonomy, perceived competence, perceived communication) in nurses. Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 40 nurses working in Milad Hospital in Tehran in 1400 were randomly selected and randomly divided into two groups of 20 people. The experimental group underwent cognitive-behavioral therapy in eleven sessions of 1. 5 hours and the control group did not receive any treatment. To collect data, the self-determination needs scale of Soribo et al. (2009) was used in the pre-test and post-test stages for both experimental and control groups. Research data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of covariance. Data analysis was performed using software (SPSS 21). Results: Statistical findings showed that the effect of group (level of independent variable) on self-determination needs (perceived autonomy, perceived competence, perceived relationship) was statistically significant (P = 0. 05). Findings also showed that cognitive-behavioral therapy had a positive and significant effect on the level of nurses' self-determination needs compared to the control group. Conclusions: The results showed that cognitive-behavioral therapy is effective in increasing the level of nurses' self-determination needs. Therefore, if nurses with low levels of self-determination, communication, autonomy and competence can be identified and can be helped to increase the desired level of self-determination using cognitive-behavioral therapy.
