Abstract
Introduction: Fatigue and decreased ability to perform daily activities are the most common complications of heart failure. Applying the Roy Adaptation Model for these cases requires careful consideration and implementation of a care plan according to this model. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of care plan based on Roy adaptation model on fatigue and daily activities in patients with heart failure.
Methodes : The present study was an experimental study carried out in 2018 on 60 patients with heart failure in Shafa and Afzalipour Educational Hospitals in Kerman. Samples were simple [S1] randomly selected and assigned to two groups of control and test. Intervention was performed in 6 training sessions including two sessions of group training and four sessions of face to face training for each patient based on the "Roy" adaptation model. Fatigue level was calculated based on piper fatigue scale and daily activities were calculated by Barthle scale. Data were analyzed by SPSS 20 software using descriptive statistics including mean and standard deviation and analytical tests including Pearson correlation coefficient, chi square, independent t-test, paired t-test, ANOVA and Tukey at the significance level of 0.05.
Results: Findings of the study showed that there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups in the amount of fatigue and the level of daily activities after intervention (P ≤ 0.05). The results showed that in the experimental group the mean and standard deviation of fatigue were significantly decreased before intervention (6.2 ± 2.2) compared to after intervention (3.5 ± 1.7) (p = 0.001). Also in the experimental group the mean daily and standard deviation of daily activities before intervention (45.3 ± 11.2) was significantly increased than after intervention (62.2 ± 12.8) (p = 0.001).
Conclusion: Using a program designed in the care program based on Roy Adaptation Model to reduce fatigue and increase the ability to perform daily activities of heart failure patients is suggested as a low cost, non-invasive and effective method of providing nursing care.

Abstract
Introduction: For the nursing bachelor's degree to be more successful in Iran and to identify the strengths and weaknesses of its curriculum, it is necessary to conduct comparative studies and benefit from the experiences and strategies experienced in successful universities. This study aimed to compare the Iranian undergraduate nursing curriculum with the University of Southampton, UK.
Methods: The present study is a comparative descriptive study that was performed using Bereday's four-step model including description, interpretation, proximity, and comparison. The details provided from the Iranian bachelor's nursing curriculum are taken from the website of the Ministry of Health in Iran and the University of Southampton.
Results: Despite the similarities in the content of some courses, there are differences in terms of admission requirements, and course length between the two educational systems. At the University of Southampton, there is an emphasis on training managers with a research-oriented approach and technology integration, but this issue has received less attention in Iran. At Southampton, attention to research at the end of the study has led the student to identify problems and be drawn to research, while in Iran, a nursing research lesson is taught at the beginning of the course. Educational strategies at Southampton are student-centered, but in Iran they are teacher-centered. The day problems are seen in the online curriculum of the University of Southampton, but there is less flexibility in the Iranian curriculum and a focus on knowledge-based. Graduates in the UK are directed towards hospitals and society, but in Iran, graduates are mainly directed towards hospitals, and their ability to take on other social roles is not seen.
Conclusion: In addition to developing professional skills, the Iranian Nursing Bachelor's training program needs to focus on training managers with a research-oriented approach. It is also necessary, to on student-centered principles instead of teacher-centered; emphasize problem-oriented instead of knowledge-oriented, and community-oriented instead of hospital-oriented.

Abstract
Introduction: The mission of comparative study is to find out the differences and similarities of various educational systems and to identify the reasons for the success and failure of the systems and to use resulting experiences in the advancement and development of the educational system. Nursing education has a special place in the education of higher medical sciences and rapid expansion in recent decades. This study aimed to compare the educational program of the medical surgical nursing master's degree in Iran and Mahatma Gandhi University in India.
Methods: This descriptive-comparative study was carried out in 2022 using the four-step Bereday’s method (description, interpretation, juxtaposition and comparison). In this study, the Master of Science educational programs in medical surgical nursing available on the website of the Ministry of Health and Medical Education, Iran and the faculty of nursing in Mahatma Gandhi University, India were compared.
Results: The findings showed that in Iran's educational program, attention to moral, human dignity, legal, Islamic and religious aspects is much more prominent. In the Mahatma Gandhi University, having work experience is a condition for admission to this field, and there is also a clear difference between the total practical and clinical hours (except for the thesis) between these two educational programs, which is much more in Mahatma Gandhi's educational program.
Conclusions: The findings of this study can help planners to improve the quality level of this nursing’s field, considering the importance and scope of this nursing trend. It seems necessary for the educational planners to pay more attention to the practical and clinical aspects of the master's degree program in medical surgical nursing in Iran, so that improve one of the basic defects of this field, which is the gap between theory and practice.
