Abstract
Aim The aim of this study was to compare attitude of the last-year nursing and medical students studying at Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran about spiritual careBackground The spirituality is a complex and multidimensional concepts including cognitive, behavioral and experimental aspects. For promoting spiritual care we have to consider the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of the human. The studies showed that many patients believe that spirituality plays an important role in their life they believe there is a positive relationship between their recovery and religious and spiritual aspects. Many patients expect health care personnel consider these factorsMethod A descriptive comparative design was used to conduct the study. “Spiritual care perspective scale” (SCPS) was completed by 110 nursing and 220 medical students. Data were analysed by SPSS.Findings Based on the findings, 56% of nursing students and 51.8% of medical students have positive attitude on the spiritual care of patients. There was no statistically significant difference between attitudes of the two groups of students. Nursing students had more favorable attitude about existing a superior force or transcendental existence influencing spiritual health. Medical students had more favorable attitudes about considering spiritual care as part of the caring performance.Conclusion Paying more attention to the spirituality and spiritual care in educational programs for those who provide health services seems to be necessary for educational planning authorities. It is required to improve culturally in the field of principles of beliefs and religion and their education among the young and educated people. It is necessary to improve the culture of religious believes through education among students.

Abstract
Abstract Aim. This study was aimed to evaluate the changes in the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skills of nursing students during a two year interval. Background. CPR skills are of vital skills every healthcare worker should posses. Several studies are available on CPR skills of nursing students, however, changes in the students' skills have rarely been studied. Method. This time series study was conducted on all graduating nursing students who were passing their internship period during 2011-2012. Data collection instrument had two parts including demographics form and a checklist for assessment of CPR skills (including closed chest compression, tracheal intubation, using of defibrillator and CPR management). Descriptive statistics were used for reporting the findings. Findings. Seeking no help was the most frequent mistake made by the students in the domain of cardiac massage and artificial ventilation, both in the first and the third assessment. Only 41.67% and 32.61% of the students sought help in the first and the third assessment, respectively. Pressing the laryngoscope blade on the teeth was also the most common mistake in the domain of using the laryngoscope so that only 50% of the students performed this action correctly in all the three assessments. The most common error in the domain of defibrillation was ignoring repetition of the defibrillation in cases the patient’s cardiac rhythm did not returned to normal, so that only 52.08%, 28% and 21.74% of the students performed defibrillation correctly in all the three assessments, respectively. Conclusion: Most of the students were evaluated as weak, especially in the CPR management domain. Retraining the CPR skills are suggested, especially when the students are near graduation.
