Nurses and</p><p>academic members in nursing and medical schools play a key role in professional and personal promotion of</p><p>nursing students. This study adopted synergy model to determine and assess patients’ and nurses’</p><p>characteristics.</p><p><strong>METHODS</strong>: This is an action research. Synergy model was performed for 12 MSc nursing students (term two</p><p>in CCU and Cardiac surgery ICU) selected by convenient sampling. The study was carried out in CCU of</p><p>Nour and Cardiac surgery ICU and Cardiac surgery ward of Shahid Chamran hospitals of Isfahan</p><p>University of Medical Sciences in the second semesters of 2008-2009 and 2009-2010. The data were</p><p>collected by patients’ nurses’ characteristics questionnaire and levelizing them using synergy model with</p><p>confirmed validity and reliability. The judgement in this study was based on mean score.</p><p><strong>RESULTS</strong>: Mean score of levelizing of nursing students’ characteritstics made by instructors and nurses</p><p>showed that mean score in students’ function scale in clinical judgement was 3 (average), in advocacy and</p><p>moral agcncy 1 (the lowest), in caring practices 3(average) in interdisciplinary collaboration 3, in</p><p>systematic thinking 3 (average), in response to diversity 1 (the lowest), in facilitation of learning 3 (average)</p><p>and in clinical inquiry 1 (the lowest)respectively.</p><p><strong>CONCLUSION</strong>: The findings of this study showed the need to promote mutual cooperation between nursing and</p><p>medical schools and hospitals in education of nursing students and to promote care for clients and their</p><p>families in a systematic planning framework.
