Abstract
Introduction: Today studies have shown that communication between the physician/or the nurse with the patient treated as a clinical skill and considered as one of the main effective factors in improving both client’s satisfaction and health care outcomes.
The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between nurses' communication skills and inpatient service quality in the hospitals of Kashan University of Medical Sciences, 2011.
Methods and Materials:In this correlation study using a stratified sampling, 384 patientsfrom hospitals of Kashan University of Medical Sciences were selected. A three-section questionnaire for assessing respectively demographic characteristics, nurse’s communication skill, and inpatient service quality was used to collect the data. For communication skills, instrument validity and reliability were tested by content validity method and Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.92, respectively on 20 patients in the hospitals under study. In measuring the service quality, SERVQUAL Scale was used. With regard to analyzing the data, Freedman’s statistical test was applied to study the service quality dimensions versus inpatient service quality. Also Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient was applied to detect the type and level of relationship among the nurses’ communication skills.
Findings: Results showed that there was a significant correlation between communication skills and inpatient service quality in the hospitals (P-value=0.001 and R=0.782). The patients noticed a positive and significant correlation between communication skills and service quality dimensions. The intensity of the relationship between the two variables from the highest to the lowest is 0.708, 0.689, 0.637, 0.552, and 0.514, respectively for the assurance, reliability, responsiveness, empathy, and tangibles.
Conclusion: Consequently, improving the communication skills for the hospital personnel can improve the service quality contribution of hospitals.

Abstract Introduction:
Recording
nursing care is an important tool to determine eligibility and evaluation of
care interventions. In this regard, satisfaction of nurse with recording could
provide correct nursing record. The aim of this study was development and psychometric evaluation ‘Nurse Satisfaction of Report
Writing Scale’ Materials
and methods: This Study
is an exploratory study that by
review of studies about concept and dimensions of satisfaction and
satisfaction of nurses about report writing at primilarinary stage of,
satisfaction "Nurse Satisfaction Report Writing Scale" was developed.
Content validity was measured
using Content Validity Index (Waltz and Basel) by 17 experts and face validity
of the scale was assessed using 20 experts in the field of report writing and
construct validity were evaluated by review of literature, books, articles,
researches and interviews of experts. Moreover, reliability of the scale was determined by internal
consistency (Cronbach's alpha) and test-retest (Pearson correlation
coefficient). Findings:
At first stage item were developed in the scale and later
using content validity index, items with value of more than 75% were retained.
Hence, the numbers of items were reduced to 66 numbers. Construct validity of
the questionnaire showed 7 factors. Furthermore, the findings showed, internal
consistency reliability (Cronbach's alpha) (α=0/981) for 7 dimensions and
re-test by Pearson correlation coefficient (r=0/912). In final stage, 15 items
were deleted thus total number of items reduced to 51 items. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that questionnaire of nurses with 51 items
of the type of report writing Likert is valid and reliable. Due to the lack of
valid and reliable scale to measure satisfaction of nurses from report writing, using
the scale can be helpful. Measuring other types of validity such as concurrent
validity is recommended.

Introduction:
Nurses
are the largest group of health care professionals in health systems. Nurse's
shortage and turnover lead to big problems in care of patients, quality of care
and treatment costs. The aim of this study was to determine assessment of some factors related to leave in
nurses and their demographic information in educational hospitals of
Shahid Behesthi University of Medical Sciences Materials
and methods: In this, descriptive-correlative study, 350 nurses were
randomly selected.
Personal demographic questionnaire (11 items) and Anticipated Turnover Scale
(ATS) (12 items) were used to collect
data. Content validity index and reliability were measured by internal consistency (α=0/80) and
test- retest(r=0/81). Samples of 12 teaching hospitals
and in different
shifts were selected and questionnaires were
distributed and collected at nurses rest time. Data was analyzed by SPSS-16. Findings: Results showed that 88 percent of
nurses were women and 92 percent
had a bachelor's degree. Also they age range
was between 57-23 and 48 /3 percent
of them worked in medical-surgical ward. Results indicated that
nurses had a moderate intent to leave their work. In addition,
between age with
intent to leave (r=
- 0/114) and work experience(r= - 0/158) with turnover, was
a negative significant correlation. In addition, there was a significant correlation between organizational
level and intent to leave (P= 0/007),
shift and intent
to leave (P = 0/001). Conclusion: Given the high turnover of Iranian nurses than similar studies in abroad and according to previous
research that showed a direct relationship
between intent to leave and the actual turnover of
nurses, need more attention.
