: Background: perceived stress in the workplace is a growing concern globally, particularly in high-stress professions such as nursing. The effects of workplace stress on nurses and healthcare organizations can indeed be significant, including illness, absenteeism, and reduced work performance. Purpose: was to examine the effect of resilience training program on perceived stress among acute care nurses. Design: Quasi-experimental two groups' research design was used. Setting: it was conducted in the acute care units at Beni-Suef University Hospital. Sample : Simple random sampling technique was used to recruit 160 nurses from acute care units. Instruments: The Modified Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and perceived stress scale were used. Results: Study group had very high resilience level after implementation of the program (60%). Nearly half of the study group had a very low perceived stress level after implementation of the program (56.3%). Conclusion: Resilience training is an effective method that helps nurses to better handle stressful situations in their workplace. Recommendations: Nurse Leaders should continue to promote resiliency to nursing staff by reinforcing protective factors such as good time management, problem solving and decision making, effective communication and supportive professional relationships. Build positive and supportive work culture through monthly meetings, conferences to voice their problems, opinions, and needs.

: Background: Obesity is a major public health challenge that affects almost every country in the world. Globally, obesity rates have been increasing steadily over the last three decades. Maternal obesity has been associated with multiple comorbidities and a higher risk of obstetric and peripartum complications, such as prolonged labor and increased CS. The purpose of the present study was to assess effect of obesity on progress of labor. Design: A descriptive research design was used. Sample: A purposive sample of 370 laboring women was divided into two groups: the obese group and the normal-weight women group. Each group had 185 participants. Settings: The study was conducted at the obstetric departments of the University Hospital and Shebin El-Kom Teaching Hospital in Menoufia Governorate. Instruments of this study were a structured interview questionnaire that included sociodemographic characteristics of women (name, age, education, and occupation), menstrual, obstetric, medical surgical history, weight, height, BMI...etc.) and a partogram to assess the progress of labor. Results: There was a lower mean duration of the latent and active phases (first stage), second stage and total duration of labor in the normal-weight women than in the obese women. Also, the mean dose of oxytocin during the first stage of labor was lower in the normal-weight women than in the obese women. Nearly half of the obese women had CS delivery, compared to only one-third in the normal weight women. Conclusion: Obese women had prolonged labor duration, slow progress of labor, and a higher rate of CS delivery than normal weight women. Recommendations Encourage the maternity nurses to include health teaching for obese laboring women during antenatal counseling, such as a healthy diet and exercise to reduce their weight and distribute colorful brochures regarding the negative impact of obesity on pregnancy and labor and its preventive measures to both nurses and women. Also, encourage the maternity nurses to use the partogram in the labor units.
