Introduction: The empathy of nurses with patients, as a moral behavior towards the culture making of organ donation, always has been considered by health sector planners. Therefore, the study of empathy of nurses with patients and their attitude toward organ donation is one of the main goals of nursing education and this study aimed to determine the relationship between nurses' empathy with patients and their attitude toward organ donation in special section of Isfahan province hospitals. Methods: A study of descriptive-sectional with participation of 348 Nurses of special sections in hospitals of Isfahan province in 2018 with the selection of cluster sampling method was carried. For gathering the data, questionnaire of empathy of nurses with patients designed by Jefferson and organ donation attitude questionnaire of Tihana were used. Results: The mean and standard deviation of empathy of nurses with patients was (39. 26 ± 2. 37) and the mean and standard deviation nurses' attitude toward organ donation was (50. 46 ± 34. 6). Also, the relationship between the components of adopting an empathic view (P=0. 002, r=0. 667), giving empathic care (P=0. 000, r=0. 781), self-care instead of being sick (P=0. 000, r=0. 598) and the empathy variable of nurses with patients (P=0. 000. r=0. 663) with Attitude with organ donation were significant. In total, %56 of the variance of nurses' attitudes towards the organ donation was explained by the variables of the research model obtained from the structural equation test. Conclusions: According to the findings of the study, it seems that education of empathy' nurses with patients can enhance the positive attitude of nurses towards organ donation and eliminate the need for organ transplantation. Also suggested that in subsequent studies, the effect of empathy variable on nurses' attitudes toward organ donation should be investigated intermediacy.

Data were analyzed in SPSS 18 software, using independent t-test, intra-group ANOVA, Bonferroni test, Mann-Whitney U test, Friedman tests, Wilcoxon test, and Fisher's exact test at the significance level of 0. 05. Results: The mean depression scores of the case group immediately and two months after the intervention reduced significantly compared with before the intervention; in the control group nurses, the score immediately after the intervention decreased significantly compared to before the intervention (P < 0. 05). However, the mean score changes before and after the intervention, and before and two months after the intervention reduced significantly in the case group compared with that of the control group (P < 0. 05). Conclusions: According to the results, this therapeutic approach can be used as an effective therapeutic activity in decreasing depression of nurses in order to promote health and care purposes.

Introduction: There are different nursing education programs in each country, which are rooted in their traditions. Comparing different educational programs will enhance the content and quality of the curriculum. This study aimed to compare the Iranian nursing bachelor program with Islamic International University of Malaysia. Methods: This descriptive-comparative study was conducted in 2018 to compare the structure of the nursing bachelor program in Iran and the International Islamic University of Malaysia. The Bereday model was used for comparing the data. Results: The length, number and the majority of nursing undergraduate courses at the University of Iran and Malaysia are similar. However, there are differences in the goals details, mission and vision, method and admission system, style of syllabus arrangement in the two universities. In Malaysia, student enrollment is decentralized, with an interview and a non-governmental education system, accompanied by a social service project and a final project at the end of the course. But in Iran, student's admission focus on no interviews with governmental and non-governmental educational system. Conclusions: The main differences between the two countries' curricula are the way in which students are admitted, the style of the syllabus, and the presentation of the final project at the end of the course. The two countries are similar in the number of courses and the curriculum content. It's necessary that changes in the nursing bachelor's degree program, with emphasis on the entrance interview to select more competence volunteers, is also necessary to incorporate nursing theories and elderly nursing into the curriculum of this course.
