Aim: To assess the mediating role of organizational information communication technology (ICT) support in ICT demand and e-leadership from the nursing staff perspectives. Research Design: A descriptive-correlational research design. Setting: The study was conducted within selected units at Damietta General Hospital. Sample: A convenient sample of 100 nursing staff from various departments. Tools: Barriers for using e-leadership questionnaire, ICT Demands Scale and organizational ICT support scale. Results: The nursing staff perspectives on barriers to using e-leadership were prevalent in 75.95% of situations, with a mean score (83.54±23.75). The most common barrier identified was related to e-social skills factors 77.53%, with a mean score of (11.63±3.24). While the e-technological factors were the least commonly perceived barriers to e-leadership from the nursing staff’s perspective (73.40%), with a mean score of (11.01±3.60). A positive statistically significant correlation was found between total ICT demands factors and e-leadership barriers, and total barriers' score, except for Communication and team barriers. A negative correlation was found between total ICT support factors and e-leadership barriers, and total barriers' score, with no statistical significance. The total ICT support has a highly statistically significant positive effect on ICT demand (B=0.158, p=0.000). Furthermore, the total ICT support has a highly statistically significant negative effect on total e-leadership barriers (B= -0.137, p=0.000). Conclusion: The research findings accept all three hypotheses. The study concludes that there is a direct association between ICT demands and e-leadership barriers, that organizational ICT support positively predicts ICT demands, and that organizational ICT support negatively predicts e-leadership barriers, as perceived by nursing staff. These results highlight the importance of organizational support and ICT resources in mitigating e-leadership barriers in healthcare settings. Recommendations : Fostering a culture of collaboration, communication, and support among nursing staff and leadership. Enhance technological training and provide necessary resources to ensure proficient use of technology, reducing technological barriers.","PeriodicalId":117851,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Nursing and Health Sciences","volume":"61 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139297975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Palmar warming of radial artery and transient ulnar artery compression are methods generally used to grease radial perforation and drop number of failures at the first attempt of arterial perforation. The aim of the study: was to evaluate the effect of palmar warming versus transient ulnar compression on success rate of arterial puncture in critically ill patients. Materials and Method: Research Design: A quasi experimental design was implemented in this study. Setting: This study was performed at the general ICU of Damanhur Medical Institute. Sample: A convenience sample of 25 critical care nurses and 150 patients were enrolled in this study. Instrument: Two instruments were used to accomplish this study. Tool I: Nurses , characteristics and competence for performing arterial punctures tool. Tool II: Patients' characteristics and success rate of arterial punctures tool. Method: studied patients were divided into two groups: palm warming (group I) and transient ulnar compression group (group II). Patients who were assigned to the palm warming experimental group were inherited an air-activated heat pack to bridle in their hand for palmar warming before arterial puncture for 5-10 minutes. Patients who were assigned to the ulnar compression experimental group were subjected to manual pressure by the nurse's finger at the level of the wrist joint in Guyon's canal as long as the arterial sample was drawn, and the compression did not stop until the completion of the arterial sample. Results: It was found that the mean of arterial puncture trials in palm warming trials was lower than the mean of ulnar compression group with significant difference. The mean number of arterial puncture trials in the palm warming group for the patients whose systolic blood pressure ranged from 110–≥120 was significantly higher than the mean number of arterial puncture trials for the patients whose systolic blood pressure was less than 90. On the other hand, there was a significant negative correlation between the mean number of arterial puncture trials in palm warming groups and both of systolic, diastolic and, mean blood pressure measurement. Conclusion: Using palmar warming is more effective for a successful arterial puncture. There is a need for further study to combine palmar warming and ulnar compression, especially for patients with blood pressure less than 50 mmhg.","PeriodicalId":117851,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Nursing and Health Sciences","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127814827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
