Abstract

  Background and Objective: The concepts are defined differently upon the dominated philosophy and ideology of the communities. Thus, it can be possible to define the main concepts of nursing based on the philosophical and ideological foundation of Islamic ideology in Iran. The aim of the present study was to explain the human’s concepts based on Islamic documents and compare with nursing theories.

  Material and Methods: The concept derivation of Walker and Avant was used for theory construction. In this method, by studying the existing Islamic theories about human, the researchers chose the best theories adjusting to nursing and redefined them on the basis of nursing concepts. Finally the human’s concept was derived of theories of Ayatollah Javadi Amoli, Mesbah Yazdi and Mohammad Taghi Jafari.

  Results: Human, consists of body and spirit, which have been created based on Fetrat . The movement according to Fetrat is accomplished by the help of wisdom, authority and faith to reach Ghalbe Salim, which is the summit of spiritual health. To reach Ghalbe Salim, human should consider the fields including plant, animal and wisdom. Thus, the nurse’s duty is to help the clients to achieve their real Fetrat, based on the human areas.

  Conclusion: In terms of this definition that verifies the superiority of spirit over body, nurses must pay attention to the spirit more than the body. In contrast with caring theories, the leader of nursing programs is Fetrat rather than the individual needs and experiences. Hence, the nurses’ duty is to help the human, based on Fetrat, to reach the highest health that is Ghalbe Salim.

Abstract
Background: Mutual rights in the medical system have always been considered an important component of medical ethics. Observance of midwives' rights could affect the quality of their services. This study was conducted to determine the methods for improving the observance of midwives' rights from the perspective of midwives and related managers.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 346 midwives and 19 hospital managers in 9 hospitals in Isfahan (Iran) 2018 -2019. The sample was selected from the midwives using the census method and from the managers using the purposive method. Data were collected using a questionnaire containing demographic, managerial-organizational, and individual methods to improve the observance of midwives' rights. Findings were analyzed using descriptive/inferential statistics (T- test) in SPSS v. 18 software.
Results: Managerial-organizational and individual methods from the perspective of midwives and managers (total view) were not significantly different (P>0.05). The most important managerial-organizational method to improve the observance of midwives' rights included "increasing the level of awareness of midwifery staff about their rights and their recognition" with a mean and standard deviation (SD) of 4.32 ± 0.78, and one of the most important individual methods was to "improve work conscience" with a mean and SD of 4.35 ± 0.80.
Conclusion: Managerial-organizational and individual methods are important to increase the observance of midwives' rights in the hospital. In order to improve midwifery services and midwives' health, hospital managers must make the necessary efforts to increase the observance of midwives' rights by considering related factors.
