A descriptive design was selected to assess the work experiences of temporary employed nurses within the program of human resarch project in 3 domains of tasks, duties and interaction with the physicians and other nurses, to encounter with the real work situation in the university hospitals. In the study, the sample size was 166 nurses with at least 2-6 months work experiences. A self-report questionnair was used as a data collection instrument. The study findings showed that the majority of the subjects (74.5%) reported positive experiences of increased knowledge in the duties, (72.5%) improved practical skills and 68% reported learning of new skills during their working in the nursing profession, regarding interaction with physicians & other nurses. In addition, the subjects reported both positive & negative experiences.
Approximately forty-five percent of the subjects suggested that they are regretted to choose "nursing" as a profession, whereas 43.9% felt loss of motivation during working in the hospitals. Also 72% of the subjects reported that, academic nursing educations were not prepared them sufficiently as a competent nurse to work at the hospital climates.

Abstract
Today, arthrosclerosis of coronary arteries is one of the most common life threatening diseases in patients. In fact, Coronary Artery Bypass (CABG) is high risk surgery in both developed and developing countries and heart is a vital organ that is susceptible for any disorders which could be life theatening, because of undergoing CABG patients with high anxiety and stress. Due to surgery anxiety, heart rate, cardiac output and oxygen demand will rise. Then any attempt to decrease patients' preoperational anxiety would be beneficial. One of the efforts to decrease the anxiety level is patient education. There are different viewpoints about educational methods in the literature. This study was a randomized clinical trial with the purpose of determination of the effect of education with visual compact disc (VCD) on the patients' anxiety at the first day and sixth day of admission. Sixty patients were included, 30 were assigned into experimental group and 30 subjects into control group. Sampling method was consecutive. The Spielbergers' questionnaire was used for data collection pre and post educational intervention. The result indicated that the late trait anxiety level significantly decreased in the experimental group compared to the control group at the 6th day before CABG (t=3.79, P=0.001) (t=4.53, P=0.00) respectively. According to the study results, use of visual information by VCD at sixth day before surgery was more effective in clinical setting that the first day. Therefore, nurses can use this educational cost-effective beneficial intervention, for reducing the patients' anxiety .

Abstract
Background & Aim: Extensive surgical interventions as diagnostic and therapeutic methods can cause anxiety in patients. Therefore, health care professionals such as nurses should try to reduce the level of patients' anxiety by addressing beneficial effects of providing preoperative information. The main purpose of the study was to determine the effect of education using a booklet in different times (1 day and 6 day before surgery) on anxiety level of patients as candidates for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG), in Tehran Heart Center Hospital, 2006.
Material & method: The study design was a clinical trial. The total sample size was 60 patients. Thirty subjects were given a booklet 1 day before surgery and another group, received education, 6 days before surgery. Sampling method was consecutive. The Spiellberger's State-Trait Anxiety Inventory was used for data collection at pre and post education.
Results: The result indicated that the anxiety level decreased in both groups, but paired t-test showed that the difference of state anxiety and trait anxiety in the first group (received education at 1 day before operation) at pre and post intervention were statistically significant (t=3.27, P.value=0.030), (t=2.23, P.value=0.034) respectively, whereas there was not statistically significant difference of anxiety level in the group of patient who received education 6 days before the surgery, at pre and post intervention.
Conclusion: According to the results, providing educational booklets to the patients in clinical setting one day before surgery, seems more applicable which could reduce patients' anxiety effectively.

Abstract
Introduction and Aim: Caring is a multidimensional nursing concept that can be actualized within the baccalaureate nursing curriculum through the purposeful teaching and student-centered learning of core values. Teaching interpersonal issues is possible through various methods such as role-play. The current study was conducted with the aim of describing the caring behaviors of two groups of sophomore-level student nurses after implementing either role-play or traditional method as teaching method of choice.
Materials and Methods: The researchers used quasi-experimental study design using an equivalent control group and post-test. Fifty one nursing students were randomly assigned in either experimental or control group. After that members of the experimental group performed their clinical experience using role play and members of control group did practice as routine, caring behaviors of two groups were observed using CBI.
Results: In general, findings indicated that caring behaviors related to subscales “respectful difference to other” and “professional knowledge and skill” were, respectively, the most and the least frequent caring behaviors in both groups.
Conclusion: More frequent occurrence of interpersonal aspects of caring in two groups indicates that in the beginning of professional nursing care, the sophomore-level students give priority to altruistic values. So, using approaches to develop and maintain interpersonal aspects of caring in nursing curriculum, coupled with changing the teaching methods of practical aspects of nursing care and appropriate integration of theory and practice is recommended.

Abstract
Background & Aims Organizational commitment includes behaviors that lead employees to strive to achieve the organization’s goals and stay loyal to the organization and its values. This study aimed to provide recommendations for improving the organizational commitment of the faculty members of Iran University of Medical Sciences (IUMS), Tehran, Iran.
Materials & Methods The present study used the triangulation approach conducted at the IUMS from the summer of 2020 to June 2023. In the first phase, Allen and Meyer (2004)’s revised version of the organizational commitment scale (OCS) was completed by the faculty members of the IUMS. Descriptive statistics and analysis of variance were used to analyze the collected data. In the second phase, 15 purposefully selected faculty members participated in interviews, ensuring their maximum diversity. Graneheim and Lundman’s qualitative content analysis was used. The findings were finally presented to the faculty members, and they prioritized the practical recommendations.
Results The OCS scores were in a range of 74-124 (Mean=99.86), indicating that the organizational commitment of the faculty members was above average. The mean scores for the OCS dimensions of affective, continuance, and normative were 4.39, 4.05, and 4.09, respectively, indicating that the highest score belonged to the affective commitment. The effective factors were categorized as individual, organizational, and extra-organizational factors. The most important proposed solutions were: Developing meritocracy criteria for key positions of the university, modifying the appointments and dismissals, supervising and monitoring the performance of the managers of the faculties and research centers in the fair distribution of resources, and law violations.
Conclusion Meritocracy is the most important factor for improving the organizational commitment of the IUMS faculty members. Therefore, it is recommended that meritocracy criteria be developed to make appointments and dismissals more objective, reduce discrimination, and increase the organizational commitment of faculty members.
