Purpose: To identify the level of nursing managers' transformational leadership skills. Methods: A descriptive research design was used. The study was conducted in Menoufia University Hospitals. A convenience sample of sixty two nursing managers constituted the study sample. Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) Form 6S was used to identify the transformational leadership skills among nursing managers. Results: Nursing managers in the hospital setting showed low level (27.7 ±3.1) of transformational leadership skills. The highest mean score was for individual consideration dimension whereas the lowest mean score was for Laissez‐faire leadership dimension Conclusion: In-service training program about transformational leadership skills for nursing managers is needed to improve Laissez‐faire leadership that increase their insistence to hospitals' mission and desire for success.

: Normally, nipples are kept supple from the secretions of the Montgomery tubercles in the areola. They can become sore when they are excessively dry or wet, which makes them crack or fissure. The purpose ofthis study was to investigate the effect of peppermint water versus expressed breast milk on cracked nipple among lactating women. Methods: A quasi–experimental design was utilized. Sample: Purposive sample of 60 lactating women. Setting: The study was carried out in postnatal ward and postnatal clinics at four settings in Menoufia governorate: Menoufia University Hospital, Shebin El-Kom Teaching Hospital, Sirs-Elian Hospital, and Menouf Hospital. Instruments: An interviewing questionnaire, breastfeeding observation checklist, numerical rating scale, nipple soreness rating scale, nipple trauma score, and nipple trauma score Result: There was a statistically significant difference between the intervention groups in favor of the expressed milk group in relation to nipple pain, nipple soreness, and nipple trauma. Conclusion: Expressed breast milk was more effective than peppermint water as it relieves cracked nipple.

: Background : The Coronavirus pandemic of 2019 has seen a rapid surge in cases and deaths since its first detection in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. The purpose of the study was to assess the pregnant women's and maternity nurses' knowledge regarding coronavirus (COVID-19). Design: A descriptive cross-sectional research design was utilized. Sample: A purposive sample of 290 pregnant women and a convenience sample of 40 maternity nurses were enrolled. Settings : The current study was conducted at the outpatient clinic of the Obstetrics department of Birket El Sab Hospital and MCH centers in Al-Birr Al-Sharqi and Al-Birr Al Gharbi in Birket El Sab. Results: the study findings reported that there was a poor knowledge score among the pregnant women and an average knowledge score among the maternity nurses regarding the Coronavirus (COVID-19). Conclusion : Most of the studied pregnant women had poor knowledge scores, and the majority of the studied maternity nurses showed an average knowledge score regarding the Coronavirus (COVID-19). Recommendations: Increasing the level of knowledge of pregnant women regarding coronavirus and providing training programs to the maternity nurses in hospitals and MCH is essential to improve their knowledge regarding coronavirus.
背景:2019年冠状病毒大流行自2019年12月在中国武汉首次发现以来，病例和死亡人数迅速增加。本研究的目的是评估孕妇和产科护士对冠状病毒(COVID-19)的知识。设计:采用描述性横断面研究设计。样本:目的样本为290名孕妇，便利样本为40名产科护士。环境:目前的研究是在Birket El Sab医院产科门诊和birr Al- sharqi和birr Al- Gharbi的妇幼保健中心进行的。结果:研究结果显示，孕妇对COVID-19的知识得分较低，产科护士对COVID-19的知识得分平均。结论:参与研究的孕妇对新冠肺炎知识得分普遍较低，参与研究的产科护士对新冠肺炎知识得分一般。建议:提高孕妇对冠状病毒的知识水平，并为医院和妇幼保健院的产科护士提供培训，对提高她们对冠状病毒的知识至关重要。
