Introduction: Nurses are the main force in health services and the level of nursing education is closely related to access and quality of care. This study was conducted with the aim of a comparative comparison of undergraduate nursing education programs in the United Arab Emirates and Iran. Methods: A descriptive-comparative applied study based on the Brady model has been conducted to compare the structure of the UAE nursing education curriculum with Iran. Results: In the UAE education system, there are advantages such as placing a valid English language degree as a criterion for admission in the field of nursing for all students, admitting students by the interview in addition to the entrance exam and considering equivalent courses, paying attention to ethics-related courses and innovation and leadership, paying attention to familiarity with different cultures in the UAE, teaching some basic science courses in a combined way and using the latest technologies in the world such as virtual patient are important. Among the problems of UAE nursing are the lack of scientific resources in Arabic, the lack of native nurses to perform culture-based nursing, the shortage of male nurses, and cultural restrictions on encouraging female students to study nursing. The advantages of the Iranian curriculum also include a complete and clear mention of all the elements of the curriculum, and the early presence of students in the clinic for internship units, usually from the second semester. Conclusions: Some the strengths of the UAE education system such as paying attention to familiarity with different cultures, teaching some basic science courses in a combined way, and using the latest technologies in the world such as virtual disease to improve the level of education and establish a proper connection between clinic and theory can to be used as a model for our country's education system.

Introduction: Nurses face conditions that can adversely affect their quality of professional life due to the care of their clients on a daily basis. Paying attention to the spiritual dimension of human existence plays an important role in his physical, mental, and social health. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of spiritual care training on the quality of professional life of nurses in intensive care units. Methods: The present study was an experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design, in which the nurses in intensive care units of hospitals affiliated with Isfahan University of Medical Sciences were studied in the first half of 2021. Forty nurses were selected through the purposive sampling method based on inclusion criteria and randomly divided into intervention and control groups by lottery method. For the intervention group, 8 sessions of spiritual care training were held in one month, two sessions per week, and one session per hour. Figley and Stamm's (2002) professional quality of life questionnaire was used for data collection. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 21 statistical software and using Fisher's exact tests, chi-square, independent and paired t. Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of demographic variables. The mean scores of burnout, satisfaction, and fatigue due to compassion before the intervention in the two groups were not statistically significant (P> 0. 05) but after the intervention these differences were significant and in the intervention group of burnout (P <0. 001) and fatigue (P<0. 001) decreased and the level of compassion satisfaction (P<0. 001) had increased. Conclusions: Spiritual care training can be helpful and effective in improving the quality of the professional life of nurses in intensive care units, so it is recommended that nursing managers use this intervention to improve the quality of the professional life of nurses.

Data collection tools included questionnaires of family members' perception of the role of intensive care unit nurses, worry questionnaire and family satisfaction questionnaire of patients admitted to the intensive care unit. Data were analyzed using independent t-statistics, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient and linear regression coefficient using SPSS version 22. A significance level of 0. 05 was considered. Results: Among the families, 75% with a mean and standard deviation of 3. 04 ±,1. 11 had the most perception of the role of nurses. The mean and standard deviation of family satisfaction was 73. 98±, 20. 87. Family perception of the role of nurses towards them showed a weak positive and significant correlation with satisfaction (P=0. 002, r=0. 250). Also, worry could not explain the family's perception of the role of nurses. Conclusions: The results of this research show that the family's perception of the role of nurses has a weak correlation with their satisfaction and concern. How the nurses themselves understand their roles towards the family should be investigated in future research.
