Collaborative Learning Experiences in Problem-Based Learning (PBL) Education: a Qualitative Study
Background: Problem- based education is one of the active teaching and learning methods. MPBL is a modified version PBL with teacher’s guide suggested to be used (instead of using seven steps method) in existing educational program. In spite of the evidence to the efficiency of active learning methods such as problem based learning, still challenges are there about the replacement of those methods with traditional learning methods. This study thus conducted in Razi Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery to describe M.sc nursing students ‘experiences of using modified problem-based learning methods during their educational period. Method: 15 MSc nursing students from who had the experience of using problem based learning participated in this study. For collection of data, semi-structured, Individual and group discussion interview conducted. The interviews were tape recorded and transcribed verbatim. Using content analysis interviews were analyzed. Results: Problem- based learning experienced by the students as : 1)an active, 2)motivational, 3)self direct and 4)critical method. Lack of resources, preparedness and skills, time consuming, guide insufficiency, and team inconsistency were experienced by students as barriers to efficiently use of the method. Conclusion: Adequate skills and consistency in team work could hasten group dynamic, facilitate and deepen their learning and provide an opportunity for students to develop their interpersonal interactions. Providing educational package, accessible recourses, and well guidance for students as well as making them prepare to effectively use the time seems necessary. Student nurses needs to be supported by the educational system and skilled educators in order to be able to use active learning methods (such as MPBL) during their educational practice.

Exploration of structure of clinical judgment of nurses: A grounded theory study
Introduction: Clinical judgement as a tool for professionals allows the nurses to play their roles and
explore their opinion. This necessitates clarification of the structure of clinical judgment. It is difficult to
give a unanimous definition for clinical judgement therefore, exploration of the structure of the concept is
necessary to understanding clinical judgment. The aim of this study is to explore the structure of clinical
judgment of nurses.
Method: This qualitative research was a grounded theory study based on purposed sampling. 18 clinical
nurses from Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences were interviewed. The interviews were transcribed
in Microsoft Word Office, and then the data were analyzed in MAXQDA2007. Constant comparison
analyses were used simultaneously with data collection.
Results: The participants in study include 9 men and 9 women, with at least 3 years of experience of
nursing in variable clinical settings. Final research findings could be discussed in five categories
including: complexity of definition of clinical judgment, context of clinical judgment, continuum of
clinical judgment, skills of nurse in clinical judgment, and achieve to professional criteria.
Conclusion: Despite the complexity of the concept in the literatures and the field of research, this study
could explore the structure of clinical judgment of nurses in the clinical arena. The results of this study
would be used to explore nurses' clinical judgment model, based on grounded theory.

Nursing in the Pre-paradigm or Paradigm Stage?
Introduction: The modern use of the word paradigm began with the theoretical ideas of Thomas
Kuhn and then the scientific revolution occurred. Paradigm is a set of concepts accepted by
scientists in their study area and provides a framework in which scientists can solve scientific
problems. Paradigm is what separates science from nonscience.
Method: This review was undertaken by library studies using databases such as CINHAL,
Proquest, Science direct, Magiran and SID.
Results: Nursing paradigm, like the foundation of a building, determines the goals and
boundaries of nursing. In nursing, paradigm is based on shared values, and assumptions related
to key concepts such as the individual, health, environment, and nursing. The boundaries of key
concepts are reflected in teaching or nursing culture, work experiences, and values which affect
our observations of events and situations. These are the foundation for creating the key
concepts of nursing.
Conclusion: Some believe that nursing may not have a normal science period therefore, they
believe it is in its paradigm period. Others believe that if we accept that nursing is in the preparadigm
stage then it cannot be considered a science therefore, because it has a philosophy
and is a science it is in the paradigm stage.

Medication Errors Experiences of Nurses who Working in Hospitals of Isfahan at 1391
Introduction: Patient safety has long been a major concern for healthcare professionals. Today, hospitals
should provide patient safety in order to gain accreditation. Among patient safety issues, medication error
rate has been considered as a major indicator of healthcare quality. The different aspects of medication
error are not clearly known and the nurses are the main source of knowledge in this field. Therefore, the
researcher decided to study the experiences of nurses who have been faced with a medication error in
order to clarify the various aspects of this phenomenon. It is through the exact identification of this
phenomenon that it can be managed.
Method: In the present study, a phenomenological qualitative approach was used. Participants in this
study were nurses working in hospitals of Isfahan and had experienced medication error. Purposive
sampling was adopted in the study and sample size was dependent on the data saturation. A total of 10
participants were chosen. Data collection was carried out through unstructured interviews and analysis
through Colaizzi’s Method.
Results: From the findings of this study, six main themes expressing participants’ experiences emerged.
The six main themes include: The context of error, the error range, negligence, the consequence of error,
concealment of error, and reporting of error.
Conclusion: Nurses report their errors when they feel safe and do not see harmful results for them.
Therefore, hospitals should review their policies on error reporting to ensure they actively encourage
nurses to report medication errors, and to support a blame-free culture in the organization and a systembased
approach to deal with the error.

Emotional and Psychological Experiences of Transplanted Patients in Communicating with Families of Brain-dead Donors
Introduction: Transplanted patients’ communication with the families of brain-dead donors is a
new experience, which provokes different reactions in both sides due to its different dimensions.
The aim of this study was to clarify emotional and psychological experiences of transplanted
patients in communicating with brain-dead donors’ families.
Method: This study was a qualitative research conducted using the phenomenology approach.
The experiences of transplanted patients were studied using unstructured and in-depth
interviews. Data saturation was reached by interviewing 8 transplanted patients who
communicated with the brain-dead patients’ families. Data were analyzed using qualitative
content analysis based on Colaizzi’s method.
Results: The findings of this survey can be classified into two general concepts of anxiety, and
psychological and mental disturbances after receiving the organ. These two concepts consist of
smaller concepts. Anxiety consists of concepts such as complicated therapy, regret due to
relationship problems, stress and worry, and stress after the incident. Mental and psychological
disturbances after receiving the organ consist of the recipient’s mental challenges with
her/himself, and increase in blood pressure due to stress.
Conclusion: Transplantation is an important event occurring in the life of these patients. The
anxiety of the possible failure of transplantation is a problem that these patients are exposed to
after transplantation. Communication and familiarity with the donor’s family also increase this
anxiety. If the brain-dead donor’s family wishes to communicate with the organ recipient, it is
better to start this relationship under special conditions and the supervision of a psychologist.

Meta-synthesis of qualitative research in nursing: a literature review
Introduction: There has been an accumulation of qualitative studies in nursing, but the findings from
many of these investigations have remained largely obscure, and they have had little impact on clinical
practice and policy formation. As pressure increased toward ensuring an evidence-based practice across
diverse contexts and disciplines and as the finding of any qualitative research will reflect a piece of the
health and disease aspects, being familiar with meta-synthesis in nursing research is very important. This
paper discusses the purpose, stages, application, and challenges of meta-synthesis, and strategies for their
solution.
Method: This review article was carried out by non-time-limited search literatures related to “metasynthesis
and nursing” keywords using PubMed, CINAHL, Proquest, Blackwell, Science Direct, SID, and
Magiran databases. Finally, 57 articles were included in the range of 1984 to 2012.
Results: Meta-synthesis is integrations that offer more than the sum of the individual data sets because
they provide new interpretations of the findings. These interpretations are inferences derived from
examining all of the articles in a sample as a collective group, presenting findings/interpretations which
are not found in any of the articles. Despite existing different approaches to meta-synthesis, evidence
synthesis mechanisms are not well suited to consideration of qualitative research. Moreover, qualitative
meta-synthesis should not be undertaken by novices. Meta-synthesis can help nurses understand the
meaning of relative phenomena and clinical decision making regarding evidence-based practice.
Conclusion: The future of meta-synthesis depends on its acceptance and utility in the evidence-based
nursing practice. If the results of meta-synthesis provide evidences for the clinical nursing, nursing
researchers will embrace this approach more.

Spiritual Experience of Heart Attack Patients: A Qualitative Study
Introduction: There are few studies on the spiritual experiences of myocardial infarction patients
in the light of cultural context. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explain the spiritual
experiences of patients during heart attack.
Method: This was a qualitative study. Nine (4 women, 5 men) myocardial infarction patients
were interviewed (in-depth interview) in the CCUs of three hospitals in Shiraz. In addition, seven
nurses participated in a focus group. Data gathering and analysis were performed
simultaneously and continued until data saturation. All the interviews were tape-recorded and
transcribed verbatim. Thematic analysis method was used for data analysis.
Results: The participants’ spiritual experiences were categorized into four themes and 11
subthemes. The main themes were trust in God, struggling with the heart, family (soothing and
stress-inducing), and help-seeking.
Conclusion: According to the results heart attack can bring spirituality in greater focus.
Therefore, in order to deliver holistic care, health care providers must be concerned with their
patients’ spiritual experiences and needs, especially in life-threatening events

The Role of Patients in Induced Demand from Experts’ Perception:A Qualitative Study
Introduction: Induced demand utilizes the advantage of higher information in respect to patients and too
much care is presented with suspicious value. Therefore, the theory of induced demand is based on the
assumption of asymmetric information between physician and patient. The patients do not have sufficient
expertise to assess the level and quality of provided services. They rarely know what and how much
medical care they need. In fact, due to some reasons, patients can influence the demand induction. They
have unlimited wishes and desires in respect to the offered services. This article examines the role of the
patient in the phenomenon of induced demand with the use of the experiences of experts of Isfahan
University Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran.
Method: The present research was a qualitative study. Semi-structured interview was used for data
generation. Participants in this study were people who had been informed in this regard, were experienced,
and were known as experts. Purposive sampling was done for data saturation. 17 people were interviewed
and criteria such as "reliability of information" and "stability" of data were considered. The anonymity of
the interviewees was preserved. The data were transcribed, categorized, and then used the thematic
analysis.
Results: In this study, according to thematic analysis 5 main themes and 7 sub-themes were extracted.
They include the experiences of experts about the role of patients in induced demand. The 5 main themes
include incorrect demand of patient from the physician, patients’ excessive trust in the physician, patient's
desire to use much more free services and without copayment, patient’s unawareness, and free access to
physicians. Each of these themes includes some sub-themes.
Conclusion: The results of this study on the role of patients in induced demand help the policy makers to
consider patients and related factors in their strategic planning in induced demand.

Symbolic Interactionism in Grounded Theory: A Viewpoint for Explaining the Student-Educator Relationship in Clinical Nursing Education
Introduction: Although it is generally acknowledged that symbolic interactionism and grounded
theory are connected, the precise nature of their connection remains implicit and unexplained in
reviewed articles. Awareness of the nature of their connection can help qualitative researchers
as guidance for data collection and analysis. This study was accomplished with the aim of
exploration of the connection between grounded theory and symbolic interactionism.
Method: The search of related articles and resources was done in databases such as Scopus,
Elsevier, Google Scholar, and ProQuest and with keywords including grounded theory, symbolic
interactionism, and methodology. Then the selected articles were reviewed.
Results: In this study, researchers, by reviewing of related articles, have propounded the
connection between methodological principles and processes of Blumer in the symbolic
interactionism with grounded theory. Then, they have argued about the explanatory power of
symbolic interactionism as a philosophical basis in a grounded theory study in the explanation of
student-teacher relationship in clinical nursing education.
Conclusion: When the grounded theory study is undertaken without a symbolic interactionism
framework as an explanatory framework, the researcher describes rather than explains the data.

The Perceived Feelings of AIDS Patients toward their Illness and its Stigmatization
Introduction: The recognition of effective factors associated with HIV stigma and designing of effective
interventions are the key to success of AIDS prevention and treatment. This study aimed to determine the
views of AIDS patients on their illness and the stigma associated with it.
Method: Due to the limited number of patients, 17 patients, who were referred to a behavioral health
counselling center in 2012, were selected using purposive sampling. Data analysis was performed based
on a content analysis analysis of themes.
Results: The main themes emerged within the patient’s perceived feeling toward the disease include spiritual
orientation, and relating the disease to other factors and the sense of inability. The main themes of social
stigma associated with the disease include the perceived internal emotions (feelings of hopelessness, and
rejection and separation) and the perceived external emotions of patients (feelings of disgust and blame).
Conclusion: The perceived emotions of AIDS patients express the threatening nature of the disease. The
disease has strengthened their spiritual dimension and has caused them to reconsider their worship rituals
by reflection on and returning to their values. The patients' perceived awareness of the stigmatization of
the disease reflects the fact that these patients not only struggle with adverse health outcomes, but also
face the consequences of the stigmatization of this disease. This is to the extent that the mental and social
health of these patients is targeted. Therefore, further investigation of these misperceptions about the
disease, and the development of training programs for the public, especially the patient’s relatives and
friends, and integration of these programs with educational programs seem necessary to promote
preventive behaviors.

qqualitative research sampling
Introduction: In qualitative research the sampling process is usually determined by the
methodology employed. However, this is not always evident in published qualitative research
papers as many qualitative studies appear not to have a clearly defined methodological
approach. Indeed, pragmatic researches focus on the need to adopt a flexible rather than rigid
approach to application of qualitative methodologies. Therefore, this study was performed to
review previous research to clarify qualitative sampling. Valid articles and books were used in
this review study.
Method: The keywords qualitative research and sampling were searched in Cumulative Index to
Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), ProQuest, PsycINFO, ScienceDirect, Scopus,
and Medline databases.
Results: Although sampling methods in qualitative research are known as purposive sampling,
there is an extensive spectrum of sampling methods such as quota, snowball, theoretical, critical
cases, homogeneity, sequential, criterion, and combination sampling.
Conclusion: The purpose of sampling in qualitative research is not to establish a random or
representative sample draw from a population, but rather to identify specific groups of people,
who either possess characteristics or live experiences relevant to the social phenomenon being
studied. Informants are identified because they will enable the exploration of a particular aspect
of behavior relevant to the research. The benefits of the qualitative approach to health care
research are becoming increasingly recognized by both academics and clinicians. However,
misunderstandings about the philosophical basis and the methodological approach remain. The
process of sampling is one of the principal areas of confusion. Sampling is a very complex issue
in qualitative research. This is due to the many variations of qualitative sampling described in the
literature, and much confusion and overlapping of types of sampling.

organizations’ staff are considered the most crucial resource. They evaluate the existing
problems actively and creatively while at the same time they try to solve them in teams.
Performing the process of staff development in different organizations especially health
organizations has its own fragile points depending upon many different conditions. This process
has been done in the central supporting department of the Kerman University of Medical
Sciences and its results have been analyzed.
Method: Staff development process has been done based on David Coghlan’s Model and it is of
action-research type.
Results: The findings of this research justify the positive impacts of the intervention on staff
development. These interventions include: raising the participation proportion, performing team
work, communication freedom, access to information, and clear goals, feedback, and
organization learning.
Conclusion: The results of this research show the positive impacts of the intervention on
development of those in charge of the qualitative cycle. In addition to these there are some
barriers in the development process, the omission of which can lead to the improvement of this
process.

Spirituality in Cancer Care: A Qualitative Study
Introduction: Spirituality is an important aspect of health care that has been proposed in nursing over the
past decades. It is recommended as an inseparable component of holistic nursing. This study aims to
explore the nurses’ and patients’ perception of spirituality in cancer care.
Method: In a conventional qualitative content analysis, data was collected through purposive sampling by
semi-structured deep interviews with 17 participants (10 patients and 7 nurses) in oncology units of
hospitals in Tabriz, and was analyzed simultaneously. Robustness of data analysis was evaluated by the
participants and external control.
Results: The emergent main theme was the "spirituality raising interactions". This theme consisted of
three sub-themes of "spiritual elevation in cancer care", "spiritual care barriers", and "religion-based
strategies". Patients with cancer understand cancer as an opportunity for belief correction, closeness to
God, and awareness of death as reincarnation. Nurses had poor skills in assessing and responding to
patients' spiritual needs and there were no support from organizations and clergymen for them in
addressing spiritual distress of patients. However, they were a source of energy, joy, hope, and power for
patients through their empathy, compassion, and openness. Patients and nurses used strategies based on
religious beliefs for strengthening their spiritual dimension.
Conclusion: Spiritual care requires a patient-centered approach in communication. Communication in
which the religious and spiritual beliefs of patients are considered as a valuable source of spiritual coping,
and which gives them the feeling of empathy, trust, passion, and joy. For reduction of barriers, the
integration of spiritual care issues in the curriculum of nursing and service training programs is
recommended. Care environment must be changed for religious practices and spiritual advisors and
clergymen should help patients and nurses in coping with spiritual distress.

The Health-Oriented Lifestyle in Islamic Culture
Introduction: Islam has always stressed the importance of health and wellness. For centuries,
Muslims have recognized the value of a good, clean, and healthy life. The purpose of this study
is to explain the health-oriented lifestyle in the Islamic culture based on opinions, experiences,
and perceptions of clergies, teachers, and students.
Method: A qualitative research method was conducted in this study by grounded theory
approach. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews with participants. Moreover,
the existing resources, such as case studies, life stories, letters, diaries, and press interviews
have been used.
Results: This study's central variable was deviation from moderation of thought, belief and
behavior. Seven main categories were gained by analysis of data. They were: "policy in the
health system", "Islamic education"," Islamic movement in people's family centered lives", "work,
effort, and money", "ethics and law abiding citizen", "mobility and leisure", "relationships,
interaction, and participation".
Conclusion: Lifestyle modification, in the process of acquiring healthy communities and social
capital, based on religious teachings could be the perfect solution for the problems of a healthy
life in the present day. In structural approach, the government should pay attention to such
issues like authority of the family, and supporting parents, and spouses, facilitate family
functions by systematic problem solving, and empower and strengthen institutions such as the
education system and media. It is suggested that educational institutions direct their teachings
toward empowering children of this society in order for them to better play their roles in family
and social life, and encourage them to use Islamic teachings
