: Background: Preterm neonates have an increased vulnerability to feeding intolerance problem and distress in Neonatal Intensive care unit, and they considered the most common significant donators to neonates’ growth retardation. therefore, it is pivotal for neonatology nurses to detect this condition as early as possible and find effective intervention for confronting this problem to enhance neonates’ outcomes. Kangaroo Mother Care and prone positions are therapeutic nursing modalities that may be effective for the protection from feeding intolerance and improve neonates’ comfort in NICU. This study aimed to investigate the effect of kangaroo mother care and prone position on gastrointestinal intolerance, physiological parameters, and comfort in preterm neonates. A quasi-experimental research design was conducted to this study . Setting: This study was conducted in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Alexandria University Children’s Hospital (AUCH) at Smouha in Alexandria. Sampling : A convenience sample of 60 preterm neonates more than 130000 gm. hospitalized in NICU from March 2020 to March 2021.Four tools were used to collect the necessary data for this study: Tool1 : Preterm Neonates’ Characteristics and Their Mothers Assessment Record, Tool II: feeding intolerance and NEC risk–scoring tool, Tool III: feeding intolerance assessment sheet and Tool IV: COMFORT neo scale. Results : statistically significant differences were found between the 1st day and 3 rd day concerning feeding intolerance parameters in the study group regarding the means of the abdominal circumference (P=0.000), the frequency of vomiting episodes (P=0.000), the frequency of defecation (P==<.001) and daily weight gain (P=.003). Additionally, improvement in the neonates’ gastric residual volumes among both groups of study with no statistically significant differences were found. KMC and prone positions recorded more stability in physiological parameters than control group in the study. Fortunately, intervention group exhibited high significant comfort levels on three days of study in comparison with control group (P= 0.000). It is concluded that KMC and prone positions may reduce preterm neonates’ gastric residual volume, frequency of vomiting episodes, and abdominal circumferences while increasing their daily weight gain and frequency of defecation. This study advised NICU nurses to emphasize the value of applying KMC and prone positions as a safe non-invasive intervention for preterm neonates.

Background : The protection of students and educational facilities is particularly important. Precautions are necessary to prevent the potential spread of COVID-19 in school settings, so, guidelines for prevention, early detection and control of COVID-19 in schools are very essential. Aim: This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of guidelines for preparatory students on prevention and combatting COVID-19. Research design : A quasi-experimental design was used. Setting : The study was conducted at two governmental preparatory schools namely Omar Ibn Al-Khattab and Zahraa Helwan affiliated to Wady Hof District in Helwan, Cairo Governorate, Egypt. Sampling : A multi-stage random sample was used. Sample size: 605 students both boys and girls. Tools: Three tools were used in this study: Tool one: An interview questionnaire which consisted of the following parts: a) Characteristics’ data of studied students. b) Knowledge of studied students about COVID-19. Tool two: Attitude as reported by students using Likert Scale toward COVID-19 . Tool three: Students' Preventive Behavior Likert Scale regarding to COVID-19. Results: The current study showed that 58.3% of studied students had poor knowledge, 69.1% of them had negative attitude and 64.3% of them had inadequate preventive behavior at pre guidelines about prevention of COVID-19. However, highly statistically significant improvements were detected after the implementation of guidelines in good knowledge (76%), positive attitude (94.2%) and adequate preventive behavior (85.5%). There were highly statistically significant positive correlations between students' total knowledge scores and total attitude and total preventive behavior scores at P <0.001. Conclusion: Guidelines about prevention of COVID-19 improved preparatory students' knowledge, attitude and preventive behavior at the posttest than pretest, with highly statistically significant differences.

Background : Early life is a crucial period for human development. Picky eating behavior refers to rejecting new or unfamiliar foods and preferring food that lead to less food intake diversity which in turn lead to growth disruption. Moreover, current estimates of picky eating prevalence among preschoolers vary widely. Hereafter, the current study aimed to investigate the determinants of picky eating among preschoolers in Zagazig city, Egypt. Design: This study employed a cross-sectional descriptive research design. Setting : The present study was carried out in six non-governmental nursery schools in Zagazig city, Sharkia governorate, Egypt . Sample: comprised 272 preschoolers and their primary caregiver where children were from both sexes; aged 2 through 5 years; the child's primary caregiver ready to take part in the research and competent to communicate. Tools: four tools were used; interview questionnaire (Socio-demographic characteristics & child related questions), Anthropometric measurements, Parental Feeding Style Questionnaire and Child Eating Behavior Questionnaire. Results: from 272 preschoolers, 137 (50.4%) were picky eaters , 41.5% of children were obese, 19.5% had sever stunting and 3.7% had sever wasting. Prompting/encouragement and control overeating were the highest reported parental feeding style domains. Meanwhile, satiety responsiveness and food fussiness were the highly reported child eating behaviors. Moreover, statistically significant positive correlation was found between instrumental feeding and emotional feeding and encouragement, also, between emotional feeding and encouragement, while a statistically significant negative correlation was observed between instrumental feeding and picky eating. Conclusion: Picky eaters under five years of age are relatively prevalent. Parents bear responsibility towards their children picky eating behavior. No relation was recorded between picky eating and nutritional status (WHZ, WAZ and HAZ) of preschool children. Recommendations: Caregivers of children fewer than five need to be well informed and taught about feeding strategies and appropriate dietary interventions to develop sound child feeding practices and eating behaviors. Future research is advised to examine any connections between fussy eating and a child's development.

Introduction: Pediatric nurses may stumble upon more than one complaint because of bullying in their workplaces. Workplace bullying of pediatric nurses leads to direct negative impact on their relationship with the children under care and their parents. Aim: To find out the relationship between workplace bullying against nurses and their bullying behaviors towards children. Design: A descriptive correlational research design was used. Settings: Six Pediatric Medical Units of Alexandria University Child’s Hospital (AUCH) at Elshatby, Alexandria, Egypt. Subjects: All staff nurses (120) who worked with children in the previously mentioned settings. Tools: Three tools were used, Tool I: Nurses’ Characteristics Structured Interview Schedule, Tool II: Workplace Bullying Scale, and Tool III: Nurses’ Bullying Behaviors towards Children Observational Checklist. Method: Every nurse was interviewed individually to collect data about nurses’ characteristics. The Arabic translated Workplace Bullying Scale was disseminated to every studied nurse individually and it was filled down by the self-report method. Every studied nurse was observed individually for three times in three different shifts to assess his/her bullying behaviors towards children using Nurses’ Bullying Behaviors towards Children Observational Checklist. Results: The total score of Workplace Bullying Scale showed that 65.8% of participating nurses had been bullied during their work hours. Nurses’ bullying towards children was scored as 14.2%, 33.1%, 32.5% for the physical, verbal, and social behaviors respectively. There was a weak positive correlation between the total score of workplace bullying against nurses and their total score of bullying behaviors towards children with χ2 = 4.003, P= 0.04 and r=0.1. Conclusions: There was a significant positive correlation between workplace bullying against nurses and their bullying behaviors towards children. The strongest correlation was between workplace bullying and verbal bullying behaviors. The most common verbal bullying behaviors against children were name-calling and intimidation.

Background: Nursing students as future health leaders to advocate for a greener planet, have a significant responsibility in mitigating climate change and reducing humanity’ carbon footprint (CF). While the CF per capita among nursing students is unknown, and whether they are well knowledgeable about effective measures for reducing CF. Aim: Assess carbon footprint knowledge and calculation among nursing students Methodology: A descriptive-analytic research design was applied for A stratified simple random sample to 279 nursing students from the faculty of nursing, at Modern University for technology and information. Two tools were used: (1) Nursing Faculty Students’ Structured Questionnaire which consisted of two sections to assess the demographic characteristics of the students and their families. Additionally assess students’ knowledge about CF. (2) Carbon Footprint Calculator. Results: 67.38% of students had a poor level of CF knowledge. The total mean CF of the nursing students was 5.874±0.182 mtCO2/year. Many demographic variables of the students and their families were associated statistically with the average students’ CF; gender, living alone, parents’ educational level, mother’s occupation, income, and place of residence. Statistically, significant inverse correlations were found between the students' CF knowledge with their average CF per capita. Conclusions: The majority of the nursing students had poor knowledge of CF, Additionally, the average CF per capita among nursing students was higher than the average CF worldwide and two-fold higher than Egypt's CO2 emission per capita. Recommendations: Updating the universities nursing curriculum with the environmental global issues, with a deeper focus on nurses' responsibility toward innovative strategies to lower CF.
