Background. According to the goals of 20 years vision and development plans of Iran, moving toward improving the quality and safety of patients and their rights are of the main priorities of health care system approved by national and international experts and authorities.
Method. This study is quasi-experimental study with control group. To measure dependent variable (patient’s right practice by nurses), before and after intervention, perspectives of 180 patients admitted to emergency department were selected by convenience sampling. Intervention was implemented for emergency department nurses. All emergency department staff nurses working in a governmental hospital in the City Shahriar, Iran, were selected. The data were collected through a questionnaire composed of 2 parts, demographic information and 15 questions designed based on patients rights protocol in 5 domains with Likert scale. In order to ensure reliability, Cronbach’s Alpha was calculated for internal consistency coefficient through interviews with 20 patients (α=0.84). Validity of the questionnaire was evaluated by 10 experts. The questionnaire were completed before and one month after intervention through interviewing with patients admitted to the emergency department during the data collection time period. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 22.
Findings. Before intervention, the mean score of patient’s right practice was 58.83±16.81 and after intervention, the mean score of patient’s right practice increased to 84±8.12. There was a statistically significant difference between the mean total score of patient’s rights practice based on patients perspectives, before and after intervention (p˂0.0001). The lowest score for patient’s rights practice was reported for the domain information giving (15%) and the highest score was reported for the domain respect for privacy (82.7%).
Conclusions. The intervention (nursing ethics workshop) has a positive effect on patient’s rights practice by nurses in the emergency department.

Abstract
Abstract
Aim. This paper aims to investigate barriers and opportunities of the virtual visiting in intensive care unit during Covid-19 pandemic.
Background. Face-to-face visits of hospitalized patients in intensive care units reduce separation anxiety and stress caused by hospitalization, as well as increase the feeling of comfort and safety in patients. In addition, it is the key to patient/family-centered care. However, the Covid-19 pandemic and its related restrictions ruled out the possibility of using the family's potential and providing patient/family-centered care. Virtual visiting has been proposed as a solution to remove the family's distance from the patient.
Method. This review was conducted by searching out databases, Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, Magiran, SID and Cochrane with the keywords, Covid-19, Video calls, Family-patient center care, Intensive care unit, and Virtual visiting without time limitation. The inclusion criteria were the publication of the article in Persian or English language and the availability of the full text of the articles. In total, 45 articles were found, most of which focused on virtual appointments and virtual patient visits by physicians. After removing irrelevant papers, and the cases without full text, 29 articles were evaluated in terms of quality. Finally, 10 articles were evaluated in terms of subject, and the purpose related to the present study.
Findings. During Covid-91 pandemic, virtual visits were done in intensive care units in most medical centers using cell phones and tablets through social networks facilities. In all cases, families and health care providers were satisfied with this communication method, but they considered it was not a suitable substitute for face-to-face meetings. They believed that this method combined with face-to-face meetings would be more effective. Lack of regular and systematic planning, ambiguities in the duties of health care providers in the field of holding virtual visiting, lack of access to the internet at a suitable speed, and the complexity of working with smartphones for some families, were barriers of this method.
Conclusion. Virtual visiting provides a form of presence for families who are far away from their patients. Via this method, not only one but also all the family members can visit the patient. Although this method did not affect the stress and anxiety of the family and patients, but it was able to create a positive experience for them during hospitalization in intensive care units. Moreover, by involving the family in treatment process and informing them opens the ways to reach the patient/family-centered care in intensive care units.
