Abstract
Introduction: Nursing is a profession that significantly influences the organizational health of nursing personnel, particularly due to high workloads. Organizational commitment refers to the belief in the organization's values and goals, the loyalty of employees, and the intrinsic desire to remain with the organization. It encompasses three components: emotional commitment, continuous commitment, and normative or task commitment. High levels of organizational commitment foster an efficient organizational atmosphere, which in turn enhances motivation and productivity. Among nurses, organizational commitment is crucial for improving performance and ensuring the delivery of high-quality nursing care. Healthy organizations typically have employees who exhibit strong organizational commitment and conscientiousness. Furthermore, organizational commitment can impact the professional ethics of employees. Professional ethics is a branch of ethics that examines the ethical responsibilities of a profession and its associated issues. Understanding the relationship between organizational commitment and the factors that influence the professional ethics of nurses is essential for effective human resource management within the Ministry of Health. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the impact of organizational commitment on the professional ethics of nurses.
Search Strategy: SID, PubMed, Google Scholar, Doormats, Scopus, Web of Science, Update, and Magiran databases were searched using specific MESH keywords. The search and review results found 187 articles without a time limit. The articles were reviewed in three stages: first, the title, second, the summary text, and third, the full text, based on the inclusion criteria. Only studies conducted on nurses and without time limit were reviewed. After reading and accessing the complete text, it was studied and analyzed in collaboration with the authors. Ultimately, 76 articles were included in the study, and duplicate and biased sources were removed and analyzed with SPSS software version 23.
Results: The results indicated that nurses exhibited higher level of organizational commitment. In comparison to nurses, other professionals demonstrate lower organizational commitment but possess higher professional ethics, with the difference being statistically significant.
Conclusion and Discussion: Studies on the effect of organizational commitment on professional ethics are promising for improving patient health services. Considering the effect of organizational commitment on professional ethics, It can be concluded that the increase in organizational commitment, in turn, causes the treatment and recovery of patients and shortens the length of stay in the hospital.

Abstract
Introduction: Psychological factors play a crucial part in both the progression and the persistence as well as the results of cancer. Attitude toward death and psychological distress are some of these factors. This study aimed to determine the relationship between psychological distress and death attitude in children with leukemia.
Search Strategy: This descriptive-correlational study was conducted between April and June 2023. The sample was comprised of 100 children with leukemia who were hospitalized in the hematology unit at Imam Ali Hospital in Zahedan, Iran. The sample was selected using convenience and purposive sampling methods. Data collection tools included demographics, the Wong Death Attitude Inventory, and the Kessler Psychological Distress questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 24, encompassing chi-square tests, one-way analysis of variance, and Spearman’s correlation coefficient.
Results: The results showed a significant direct relationship between the total psychological distress score and the total score of attitude towards death
(rs = 0.104; p = 0.05). The results also indicated that the subscales related to attitudes toward death—Fear of Death, Death Avoidance, and Escape Acceptance—as leukemia are significantly elevated.
Conclusion and Discussion: Our findings exhibited a direct relationship between psychological distress and negative aspects of death attitude, in such a way that the average score of the dimensions of negative attitude towards death, including fear and avoidance of death, was higher in adolescent who had a higher psychological distress score. This issue shows the importance of paying more attention to the dimension of psychological distress in children patients with leukemia hospitalized in the hematology unit and its role in increasing the negative dimensions of the attitude towards death.
