Abstract Background: This cross-sectional study investigated student satisfaction in specialization courses in family health produced and offered online by the Brazilian Unified Health System’s Open University, along with associated factors.Methods: Health professionals who were enrolled in these courses between 2013 and 2017 responded to online questionnaires collecting data on sociodemographic aspects, student status, and their perceptions about different facets of the courses measured by a Likert scale. Degree of satisfaction was considered as an outcome, and multiple regression analysis was applied.Results: Of the 3,109 respondents, most had successfully completed their course (98.4%), were female (72.5%), self-declared white (62.1%), Brazilians (69%), ≤40 years old (59.1%), nurses (42.1%), or physicians (42.4%). Most respondents viewed the courses positively (59.30%); lower satisfaction score was associated with age (p=<0.0001), education (p=0.0031), and failing the course (p=0.0064). Students reported difficulties with the pedagogical aspects of the courses, but gave positive scores to the materials, contribution to professional practice, and stirring interest in the area.Conclusions: The participants were seen to be satisfied with these courses, although some aspects can be improved.

Abstract Background and purpose: Caring is a central concept in nursing. It is essential that nurses adhere to ethics toward improving the quality of their performance as nurses. This study aims to explore the relationship between nurses' perceptions of caring behaviors and of nursing professional ethics.Methods: 210 nurses from hospitals in Shiraz, Iran, participated in this cross-sectional study. The participants were selected via stratified random sampling. The data collection tool consisted of demographics, Watson's caring dimensions inventory, and Petty's work ethics scale. The collected data were analyzed in SPSS v. 25 using descriptive and analytical statistics.Results: There was not a statistically significant relationship between the nurses' demographics on the one hand and their perceptions of caring behaviors or of nursing professional ethics on the other. The mean of the participants' perception of caring behaviors scores was 142.49±10.71 and the mean of their professional ethics scores was 102.21±5.32. A significant positive correlation was found to exist between the two variables under study (P<0.001, r=0.46).Conclusion: There is a positive correlation between nurses' perceptions of caring behaviors and of professional ethics. This finding can be used by nursing administrators and policy-makers to design interventions to improve the quality of nursing care.
