Nurses are vital in the prevention of pin site infections. Aim:to assess the effect of implementing nursing care guidelines on nurses knowledges and practices regarding external fixation in orthopedic patients. Method:a quasi-experimental research approach was used. Sample:A convenient sample of 40 nurses from the orthopaedic departments of Kafrelsheikh University Hospital and a general hospital was used. Tools:Data were taken using two tools: the first was a self-administered questionnaire sheet, which included two parts: part 1 covered demographic data of the nurses and part 2 included nurses knowledge of the care provided to patients with external fixation. The second tool was an observation checklist for nurses to use before and after external fixation.Results:after implementing the guidelines there were significant statistical increase in nurses knowledge and practice (p0.001...

The aim of the current study was to evaluate the effect of teaching guidelines on knowledge, health believes, and self-efficacy of post-menopausal women with osteoporosis. A quasi-experimental research design was used to conduct the study at rheumatology outpatient clinic at Mansoura University hospitals, Egypt from the beginning of May 2015 to the end of August 2016. Subjects: A purposive sample of 80 post-menopausal women with osteoporosis included. Tools: Four tools were used in data collection; a structured interviewing questionnaire, Osteoporosis Knowledge Test, Osteoporosis Health Belief Scale, and Osteoporosis Self-Efficacy Scale. Results revealed that mean scores of knowledge, health believes, and self-efficacy among the study group had significantly increased after implementation of the teaching guideli...

Provider's cares 'for cancer and its treatment' have been front- runners in the evaluation of quality of life, recognizing the need to assess outcomes more broadly than tumor response and length of survival. This study has been conducted to improve the quality of life for patient with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, this will be achieved through designing, implementing and evaluating the educational program. The study hypotheses; 1) the study subjects could have improvement quality of life and physical capabilities in performing their daily living activities.2) Reducing the severity of side effects related chemotherapy.3) providing supporting activities including psychological support for both patients and families. The study was conducted in the clinical oncology unit and outpatient clinic of Benha Teaching Hospital. The study subject included 50 adult patients. The tools of data collectio...

Aim of the current study was to evaluate the effect of an educational program on quality of life for patients undergoing liver transplantation.Methods: A quasi-experimental research design with pre-post and follow up assessment was used to conduct the study atoutpatient liver transplantation units in the Gastrointestinal Surgery Center, Mansoura University, Egypt from the beginning of December 2017 to end of May 2019.Subjects:A purposive sample of 80 patients undergoing liver transplantation was included. Tools:Two tools were used for data collection;1)Structured interviewing questionnaireto collect data about the patients' demographic characteristics, past and medical history, andPatient’s knowledge related to liver transplantation2) The 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) was used to evaluate quality of life (QoL).

Most of patients treated with anticancer agents develop CIPN early after treatment and may necessitate dose modification or termination, which can increase cancer-related morbidity and mortality. Aim: investigate the Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy and its Association with Quality of Life among Cancer patients.Methods: A descriptive study design was applied in this study, on a purposeful sample of 250 adult patients diagnosed with chemotherapy induce peripheral nephropathy. The study instruments were the demographic and medical history questionnaire, PNQ, EORTC CIPN20 and EORTC30.Results: Symptoms severities mean score is 5.58 ± 2.97. Sensory neuropathy registered the highest mean at 21.23 points, followed by motor (17.33) and autonomic (5.11). About one quarter of partici...

Peyton’s four-step approach is a model that is becoming increasingly prevalent in medical education. This study was carried out to investigate the effectiveness of Peyton’s four-step approach on nursing students’ outcome in skill-lab training.Methods: The current study was conducted at Faculty of Nursing, Mansoura University. A total of 80 students completed the study. The subjects were divided into two groups: Group (I) the intervention group composed of 40 students; 20 students from first level and 20 students from fourth level who received Peyton’s four-step approach. Group (II) included 40 students considered as a control group composed of 20 students from first level and 20 students from fourth level who received the traditional method of lab training in our faculty. Two procedures were selected to be taught to the students; Intramuscular injection for first level students and arterial...
