Read More BACKGROUND: Caring for brain dead patients is the heaviest of duties for nurses, and despitetremendous stress, there are no theories/models to support nurses in this situation. This studydesigned a supportive model for nurses to provide care for potential organ donors.MATERIALS AND METHODS: This qualitative study was conducted in two stages. In the firststage, semi‑structured interviews with 31 nurses and other stakeholders, observation and fieldnotes continued until data saturation, (on 2018), were analyzed using continuous and comparativeanalysis through Corbin–Strauss method. In the second stage, theory synthesis of Walker and Avant’sstrategies for theory construction (2011) was used to design a supportive model/theory. The theorysynthesis includes three stages: (i) selection of focal concept (the concept of “moral obligation toprovide holistic care until the last minute” was selected); (ii) review of studies to identify the factorsrelated to focal concept relevant studies (42 articles were reviewed, statements and conceptsrelated to focal concept were then extracted and classified, and their relations were specified);and (iii) organization of concepts and statements within a relevant general and effective manifestationof the phenomenon under study which led to developing of a model.RESULTS: In this supportive model/theory, “improving psychological security and empowerment”was conceptualized within the conceptual framework. This supportive model entails three maincomponents, including (i) informational and educational support, (ii) systematically support,and (iii) management support.CONCLUSIONS: According to the results, nurses with moral obligation to provide holistic carewere faced with several challenges. Therefore, it is recommended that the healthcare system takesupportive proceedings for nurses in various fields of the care for brain dead patients to resolveeducational, moral, and legal challenges. This supportive model is essential for maintaining thenurses’ health, increasing the quality of nursing care and the health of potential transplant organs.

Read More BACKGROUND: Structural empowerment (SE) is an effective method of advancing workenvironments and has previously been widely discussed in Western countries. Due to the lack ofculturally and academically accepted scales in Iran for measuring SE, localization of a foreign scalein this field is necessary.OBJECTIVES: This study aimed at investigating the validity and reliability of the Persian Version ofthe Conditions of Work Effectiveness Questionnaire‑II (CWEQ‑II‑PV) among Iranian nurses.METHODS: The present cross‑sectional methodological research was conducted during 2017–2018.Participants were 230 nurses working in four teaching hospitals affiliated to Kashan University ofMedical Sciences in Kashan, Iran, who were selected using quota sampling. A standard forward–backward translation procedure according to Wild et al. (2005) was used to translate the EnglishVersion of the CWEQ‑II to Persian. The psychometric evaluation processes were achieved by face,content, and construct validity (confirmatory factor analysis [CFA]). Reliability was examined usingtest–retest and Cronbach’s alpha for internal consistency reliability.RESULTS: The CWEQ‑II‑PV showed good content validity (the mean content validity scores forrelevancy, clarity, and simplicity were 94%, 96%, and 94%, respectively). In the CFA, the originalsix‑factor version with 19 items was confirmed. The original model was presented and incorporated inthe CFA, indicating an acceptable fit for the model (root mean square error of approximation = 0.06,comparative fit index = 0.92, goodness of fit index (GFI) = 0.94, and adjusted GFI = 0.91). Cronbach’salpha coefficient for the total scale was 0.84 and for each component ranged from 0.71 to 0.87,indicating good internal consistency, and the test–retest Spearman and intraclass correlationcoefficients were 0.93 and 0.87, respectively, showing good test–retest reliability.CONCLUSIONS: Evidence was found to support the reliability and validity of the CWEQ‑II‑PV scalethat measures the quality of the work environment for nurses from a SE perspective.
