Long-term outcomes after bariatric surgery and quality of life depend on how well-educated women are about how to support postoperative weight loss and engagement of health-related behavior need women to do. Nurses had an important role in caring of post bariatric surgery pregnant women to reduce maternal and neonatal risks. Aim of the current study was to evaluate the effect of continuous care model on quality of life and maternofetal outcomes of pregnancy after bariatric surgery. Design: Quasi-experimental design. Setting: The study was conducted in Obstetric and Gynecological out-patient clinic at Benha University hospital. Subjects : A purposive sample of total 108 of Primigravida women after bariatric surgery “were recruited in the current study, they were allocated into two groups: control group included (54) Primigravida women they had ordinary nursing care. Study group included (54) Primigravida women they had continuous care model. Tools: five tools were used for data collection, A self-administered questionnaire tool, Women’s knowledge questionnaire tool, Health-related behaviors questionnaire, World Health Organization Quality of Life BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) & Maternal and neonatal outcomes questionnaire. Results of the study showed a highly statistically significant differences regarding knowledge and self-care practice between study and control groups regarding self-care of pregnancy after bariatric surgery. Results: The study showed a highly statistically significant differences regarding knowledge and self-care practice between study and control groups regarding self-care of pregnancy after bariatric surgery (p<0.000) and there was a statistically difference between two groups regarding maternal and neonatal outcomes including anemia, antepartum hemorrhage, gestational diabetes, and postpartum hemorrhage among mother and between intrauterine growth retardation, low birth weight and the Apgar score at the 5 th minute among neonates. Conclusion: continuous care model had a positive effect on quality of life and maternofetal outcomes. Recommendation: Continuous care model should be incorporated as a nursing intervention for all post bariatric surgery pregnant women to promote their health behaviors and improve their quality of life.

Background: primary dysmenorrhea is characterized by cramping, dull, and throbbing pain in the lower abdomen. The device of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is one of the non-pharmacological approaches to stimulate the nerves for therapeutic purposes. The gate control theory and the release of endogenous morphine are at the core of TENS' effect on primary dysmenorrhea. Aim: The study aimed to evaluate the effect of the Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation device on pain intensity among female students during primary dysmenorrhea. Research design: A quasi-experimental study design was applied. Research setting: The study was performed in the medical clinic at Gulf Colleges, Hafr Al Batin Governorate, Saudi Arabia. Sampling: A purposive sample comprised of 100 students. They were assigned randomly into two different groups (50) the active TENS group (study group), and (50) for TENS placebo group (control group) Tools: three tools to collect data: Tool ( I) : socio-demographic and menstrual characteristics, Tool (II) : dysmenorrheal pain profile, Tool ( III) : Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). It was used to measure the intensity of pain for both groups. Results : There was a statistically significant difference found among students of the study group after the intervention, where (P-value<0.0001). Moreover, another high significant difference was also detected among students of the study group after the first and second months of intervention about their intensity of dysmenorrheal pain where (P-value=0.000). Conclusion: TENS is a non-pharmacological method for reducing the severity of pain and symptoms associated with primary dysmenorrhea. Recommendations: TENS should be advocated as a non-pharmacological method for the treatment of primary dysmenorrheal pain.

Introduction: Protection of HCWs from infection is critical for resilience of the health system facing a major pandemic like COVID-19. However, despite all efforts to protect HCWs, some exposure is inevitable. Such exposure can occur at the workplace or outside the work environment in the community. Aim: assess risk of nurses' exposure to covid19 at quarantine hospitals. Methods: A descriptive research design was conducted among all available nurses who are involved in providing care for patients infected with Corona virus in quarantine hospitals affiliated to the Ministry of Health and Population (MOHP) in Alexandria. Tools: Tool I: personal and socio-demographic characteristics of nurses. Tool II: WHO COVID-19 virus exposure risk assessment form for Health Care Workers (HCWs). Results: there was a highly statistically significant correlation between the nurses' risk of exposure and their adherence to infection control measures during interaction with Covid-19 cases and aerosol generating procedures. Conclusion: The vast majority of nurses in quarantine hospitals had risk of exposure to infection and more than half of them had risk of accidents exposure which nurses are facing towards the battle against COVID19 infection. Recommendations: establishment of infection control system in quarantine hospitals: Empower nurses are in a better position to share and disseminate experiences to reduce the cross‐contamination associated with viruses such as COVID‐19. In relation to nursing education; Review of pedagogical frameworks in both in theoretical classes and in clinical teaching. Recognizing nurses' research as ongoing critical role encourages and informs further collaboration and serves as a catalyst to innovation for a healthier tomorrow.

Introduction: Knee Osteoarthritis is the eighth leading cause of disability and a degenerative disease that deteriorates over time. It is the chief contributor to impaired mobility and occurrence of chronic pain. Hence, early diagnosis and treatment remains the key in the management of Osteoarthritis. Non-pharmacological methods such as reflexology have been used to alleviate symptoms and to improve patients’ functional ability. Aim: Evaluate the effectiveness of Reflexology Foot Massage on pain intensity and physical functional abilities among patients with Knee Osteoarthritis. Research hypothesis: Patients with knee osteoarthritis, who receive Reflexology Foot Massage experience less pain intensity, improvement in health status and physical functional abilities than those who do not receive such intervention. Methods: A quasi experimental research design was utilized to conduct this study on 60 patients with Knee Osteoarthritis at the Rheumatology and Rehabilitation clinic of El-Hadra Orthopedic and Traumatology University Hospital, Alexandria. Tools: Three tools were used in this study for data collection. Tool I: Patient's Socio-demographic and Clinical Data Structured Interview Schedule, Tool II:Western Ontario and MCMaster Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) questionnaire structured interview schedule, and Tool III: Range of Motion Exercise of the knee joint assessment. Results: Patients’ pain intensity, knee joint stiffness, and function abilities were improved significantly in the study group immediately after second, third and fourth foot reflexology sessions, moreover, the mean difference for knee R.O.M between the patients in the study group including, knee flexion and extension were improved significantly immediately after second, third and fourth foot reflexology sessions than those in the control group. Conclusion: The therapeutic effects of Reflexology massage sessions on the study group were much better than that of control group in relation to decrease patients’ pain intensity, improvement in their health status and physical functional abilities. Recommendations: Illustrated self-administered Reflexology massage intervention booklets distributed to patients with knee osteoarthritis, could be of help, and development and implementation of Reflexology training program for nurses, health care personnel and caregivers should be applied. non-pharmacologic therapies Non-pharmacologic modalities for KOA generally divided into educational, and physical approaches. Educational approaches are based on lifestyle pattern changes including; diet, exercise, and joint protection techniques by using different walking aids ( Cutolo et al., 2015) . Physical exercises include aerobic activity, muscle strengthening and range-of-motion exercises. Physiotherapy strategies such as Electrotherapy, thermal modalities and manual therapy are recommended according to each patient condition

Introduction: Palliative care has grown increasingly significant in nursing management as the number of children requiring support in their final stages of life has increased. A deficient education and a negative attitude among nurses are some of the most prevalent barriers to excellent palliative care. AIM: To measure the effect of palliative care training programs on pediatric nurses’ perception among children with a terminal illness. Methods: A quasi-experimental research design with study, the study was conducted at dialysis intensive care units and pediatric intensive care units at children hospitals affiliated with Ain Shams University. A study was conducted on 100 nurses who directly provided care to terminally ill children. Researchers used tools that included characteristics, knowledge, and attitude level of nurses. Results: In terms of total knowledge, more than two-thirds of nurses (67%) have a low level of knowledge before program intervention. On other hand and over one-third (39%) have a good level of knowledge after program intervention. According to the findings, there was a highly statistically significant change (P 0.01**) in nurses' attitudes after intervention in all aspects measured. Conclusion: This study found that pediatric nurses' understanding, and practice of palliative care improved significantly after completing a training program. There was also a strong association between pediatric nurses' knowledge and attitudes toward palliative care. Recommendation: Periodical revision of training program about terminally ill children, and guide nurses for their perception concerning the care of terminally ill children.
