Abstract
Background: clinical education is an essential part of nursing education, but unfortunately an appropriate program which can meet the expectations of the students has not been planned and executed. The aim of this qualitative study was to determine the experiences of nursing students of the Mentorship Program. Methods: This was a qualitative and theme analysis study, in which sixteen nursing students were selected and interviewed. Data were collected with semi-structural and in-depth interviewing, and interviewing was continued until data saturation. All interviews were written on a paper and were analyzed in three levels. Findings: By analyzing the data, we found 59 primary themes that were divided into two categories of strengths and weaknesses. Of the five sub-themes of the strengths category, two (participation in care, and quality improvement) were factors related to education and three (student satisfaction, abilities and skills of students, and abilities of the lecturer) were related to individual factors. Of the six sub-themes of the weaknesses category, two (staff, and lecturer) were of the management factors and three (discipline, lesson plan, time limitation) were education factors. Conclusion: As it is suggested by the comments, this program had some strengths and weaknesses. Findings of this study are applicable to improving the clinical education of nursing students, their services in the society.

Abstract
Background: Awareness of ethical principles and having moral sensitivity are considered as the pillars of quality nursing care of patients. This study aimed to investigate the level of moral awareness and sensitivity of nursing students of Hamadan University of Medical Sciences, Hamadan, Iran.
Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was performed on 134 nursing students of Hamadan University of Medical Sciences using stratified sampling method with proportional allocation. Data collection tools included a three-part questionnaire of demographic information form, and questionnaires of ethics awareness in the nursing profession, and moral sensitivity. Data were analyzed using parametric t-test and analysis of variance (ANOVA) or non-parametric Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests in SPSS software.
Findings: The majority of students had a moderate level of awareness (64.2%) and moral sensitivity (81.3%). The level of moral awareness in terms of semester variables and interest in the field and the level of moral sensitivity in terms of age, degree, and semester variables had significant differences (P < 0.05). The findings indicated that there was no statistically significant correlation between moral awareness and moral sensitivity in students.
Conclusion: Considering the average level of moral awareness and sensitivity of students and the lack of significant correlation between these two variables, it is possible to improve and promote ethical issues in nursing by trying to design models to implement nursing ethics in the clinic and the inclusion of more professional ethics topics in specialized nursing textbooks during education.

Abstract
Background: Substance-related disorders are recognized as a significant health concern in all societies, with individuals facing public health challenges. This study was aimed to assess the impact of an emotion regulation-focused educational program on the overall health status of individuals undergoing methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) for addiction.
Methods: This single-blind randomized clinical trial study was conducted in 2022 on 48 patients with opioid abuse undergoing MMT at the Center for Addiction Harm Reduction in Isfahan City, Iran. The participants were randomly assigned to either the intervention group (n = 24) or the control group (n = 24). The intervention involved six training sessions focused on emotion regulation over a three-week period for the intervention group. Data analysis was performed using paired t-test, independent samples t-test, and chi-square test with SPSS statistical software. In this study, the P-value was considered significant at the level of less than 0.05.
Findings: The results of the paired samples t-test showed that in the intervention group, the average scores of the general health level decreased significantly after the intervention (P < 0.001), while the changes in the control group were not significant. The results of the independent samples t-test showed that the average scores of the general health level in the intervention and control groups were not significantly different before the intervention, but were significant after the intervention (P < 0.001).
Conclusion: According to the results of the present study, the educational program based on emotion regulation plays a crucial role in enhancing the overall health of patients receiving MMT. Therefore, it is advisable to implement this educational program for patients undergoing MMT.
