To maintain organization, it facilitates data organization in a single spot. Mind mapping can improve nursing care effectiveness and, as a result, mothers' satisfaction with the care they receive. Purpose: was to study the effect of mind-mapping strategy on nurses' performance and maternal satisfaction regarding intrapartum nursing management. Method: The current study was carried out using a quasi-experimental research design with a case-control design for the intrapartum women and a pre-post-test for the maternity nurses. The gynecology and obstetrics departments at Menoufia University Hospital and Shebin El-Kom Teaching Hospital were the sites of this study. Sample: A convenient sample of all population (48 maternity nurses) and a purposeful sample of 100 intrapartum women were gathered. Instruments: structured interviewing questionnaire for maternity nurses, a mind-mapping checklist for maternity nurses, and maternal satisfaction with the intrapartum care scale. Results: The mind-mapping knowledge scores of the maternity nurses significantly improved after the intervention compared to before. Moreover, they demonstrated competent performance in mind-mapping-based intrapartum nurse management after the intervention as opposed to before. In addition, intrapartum women who received mind mappingbased intrapartum nursing management reported being more satisfied, compared to those who did not receive it. Conclusion: Mind mapping was found to help maternity nurses learn and do a better job of managing care during labor and delivery. Recommendations: To enhance maternity nurses' intrapartum performance and subsequently the satisfaction of women, training programs about intrapartum care should be introduced.

Nurse managers (NMs) play an important role promoting evidence-based practice (EBP) on clinical units within hospitals. However, there is a dearth of research focused on NMs perspectives about barriers to evidence-based nursing practice utilization. The purpose of the study was to assess the barriers to evidence-based nursing practice utilization from the perspective of nurse managers. A descriptive comparative design was used. The study was conducted at Menoufia University hospital and Shebin El-Kom Teaching hospital. A convenient sample was used to select 90 nurse managers. Data was collected using the perceived barriers questionnaire. Nurse managers reported that there barriers related to perceived value of research (e,g, lack of interest, 74.4%), personal (inadequate computer skills, 50.0%) and administrative (lack of knowledge about research, 66.70%). So, it was concluded that nurse managers were challenged by a large number of barriers It was recommended that the results of the study should be disseminated among the important key persons (nurse managers).

The purpose of the study was to investigate the nurse managers' knowledge and skills of evidence based nursing practice. Methods: Descriptive design was used. The study was conducted at Menoufia University hospital and Shebin El-Kom Teaching hospital. A convenient sample was used to select 90 nurse managers. Two instruments were used for data collection. Knowledge' and skills assessment questionnaires were used for data collection. Results revealed that mean score of nurses according to their perceived knowledge of evidence-based nursing practice was 44.80% in Shebin El Kom Teaching hospital vs. 48.49% in Menoufia University hospital. Mean score of their related perceived skills was 46.21% vs. 53.22% in Shebin El Kom Teaching hospital and Menoufia University hospital. Conclusion: Approximately half of the nurses did not perceive that they have enough knowledge and skills about evidence based practice. Recommendation: The study results should be disseminated to the important key persons (nurse managers) to be considered.

It entails the use of a computer or other electronic device, such as a cellphone, to give training, education, or learning materials in some form. The development of e-learning at the university level necessitates a support system from lecturers, students, and technology professionals, as e-learning are in high demand in the learning process. However, knowing the adoption drivers as well as the primary problems that contemporary e-learning systems confront is necessary for successful use. Aim: The current study was conducted to investigate the relationship between E-Learning perception, effectiveness and factors affecting its quality among nursing students. Research design: Non-experimental descriptive correlational research design was used in conducting this study. Setting: The study was implemented at Faculty of Nursing, Menoufia University, Menoufia governorate. Sample: A simple random sample of 856 nursing students was recruited from faculty of nursing, Menoufia University. They accept to participate in the study. They were in 1 st , 2 nd , 3 rd , and 4 th grade. Tools: Three tools were used namely; Elearning Perception scale, effectiveness of E-learning scale, and Factors Affecting the Quality of E-Learning scale. Results: response of nursing students' of total e-learning perception, e-learning effectiveness, and factors affecting the quality of e-Learning levels all were at a moderate level. There was a highly statistically significant positive link between students' perceptions of e-learning, its effectiveness, and the elements impacting its quality among students. Conclusion: a highly significant positive correlation between students' Perceptions of E-learning, the effectiveness of e-learning, and the factors affecting the quality of e-Learning among students were found (P-value < 0.05). Also, nursing students' response of total of e-learning perception, e-learning effectiveness, and factors affecting the quality of e-Learning levels all were at a moderate level. Recommendations: The use of e-learning courses in educational institutions should be guided by both governmental and institutional support in order to improve learning opportunities for students and improve learning outcomes and skills, provide adequate in-service training for instructors on how to manage E-learning, and conduct training programs for students on how to use elearning platforms and tools.
