Background : A blood transfusion is an emergency operation for very ill newborns. Nursing care is required for preparation before, during, and after the procedure in addition to ongoing medical competence for life-saving interventions. Clinical practice and classroom learning are connected through simulation-based education. It helps nurses become competent before dealing with newborns in a real-world setting, raising the standard of care and assuring the safety of the infants. This study aimed to determine the impact of simulation-based training on nurses' performance and satisfaction regarding blood transfusion at the neonatal intensive care unit. Method : A quasi-experimental research design was used to achieve the aim of the current study. Setting : The study was conducted in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit affiliated at Sohag University Hospital. Subjects : Included all nurses (50) who are working in the neonatal intensive care unit. Tools for data collection: (1) Structured interview questionnaire sheet (2) observational checklist, and (3) Nurses' satisfaction scale was used to collect data. Results : In terms of knowledge, practice, and satisfaction, there was a very statistically significant difference among the nurses. The study's findings showed that, before the implementation of the simulation-based training, more than two-thirds of the nurses were poorly informed about blood transfusions, and more than half of them had incompetent levels of practice in this area. Following the implementation of simulation-based training, the vast majority of the examined nurses had a good level of knowledge and the majority of them had a competent level of practice. When compared to pre-training, nurses' performance showed a very statistically significant difference and improvement. Conclusion : According to the findings of the current study, simulation-based training enhanced nurses' performance and satisfaction with blood transfusion. Recommendations : The study suggested that simulation-based training be used as an effective technique for teaching nurses about blood transfusion.

: Background : Cervical cancer is preventable; it is a major gynecological disorder among women currently. Cervical cancer treatment is associated with several physical challenges, including impaired sleep which can impair patients’ immune systems, and cognitive abilities which is associated with depression, anxiety, and decreased cognitive function. Therefore, the current study aimed to determine the impact of aromatherapy massage on postoperative emotional status and sleep patterns among women undergoing cervical cancer. Design : A quasi-experimental design was used to achieve this study. Setting: The study was conducted at the inpatient and outpatient clinics in Sohag Oncology institution. Subject : A purposive sampling technique was used to select The sample of this study consisted of 100 cervical cancer women who were divided into two groups an experimental group and a control group including 50 patients in each one. Tools: Three tools were used (I) the cervical cancer women personal data sheet, (II) and Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS), and (III) the Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RCSQ). Results: The present study revealed that cervical cancer women's postoperative emotional status (stress, depression, and anxiety levels) in both experimental groups was severe before the implementation of the aromatherapy massage while these levels became low after implementation. There were highly statistically significant differences and improvements between cervical cancer women such as depression, anxiety, and stress levels in both experimental and control groups pre and post-implementation of aromatherapy massage at (P= <0.05). Also, the results indicated that the experimental group had improvement in their mean score of 53.80 ± 13.20 and the control group had a mean score of 29.08 ± 9.71 with a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the groups. Conclusion : The study achieved significant improvements in the emotional status and sleep patterns among cervical cancer women. Recommendations : Cervical cancer women should understand the aromatherapy massage approach as a straightforward and practical strategy to improve their emotional status and enhance sleep quality.

Background: Ensuring patient safety is a fundamental aspect of healthcare delivery across all settings. Identifying any deficiencies in care and enhancing nurses' awareness of their pivotal role are critical in saving patients' lives. This study aims to assess the impact of an intervention protocol focused on safety measures, with a focus on knowledge, practices, and attitudes of nurses caring for patients undergoing cardiac catheterization. Design: A quasi-experimental research design with a pre/post-test approach was employed for this study. Setting: The study was conducted within the cardiac catheterization unit at Benha University Hospital, which is affiliated with Benha University, located in Qualyubia Governorate, Egypt. Sample: A convenience sample of 40 cardiac nurses of both genders was included in the study. Tools: Three distinct tools were employed: I. A structured interview questionnaire to assess nurses' knowledge concerning safety measures. II. A safety measures observational checklist to evaluate nurses' practical implementation of safety measures. III. A safety attitude questionnaire to gauge nurses' overall attitude towards safety. Results: Following the implementation of the intervention protocol, significant positive outcomes were observed: A highly statistically significant correlation between total knowledge and attitude among the studied nurses (p ≤ 0.001). A statistically significant correlation between total practices, total knowledge, and attitude among the studied nurses (p ≤ 0.05). Conclusion: The study's findings indicate a substantial improvement in nurses' overall knowledge, practices, and attitude concerning cardiac catheterization and safety measures immediately post-intervention protocol. Recommendations: To uphold patient safety and quality care, it is recommended that nurses working in cardiac catheterization units actively engage in continuous educational and training programs. These initiatives are crucial for updating nurses' knowledge and enhancing their practical skills with respect to safety measures concepts. Such ongoing professional development ensures that nurses remain current and competent in providing safe care for patients undergoing cardiac catheterization

Identifying any deficiencies in care and enhancing nurses' awareness of their pivotal role are critical in saving patients' lives. This study aims to assess the impact of an intervention protocol focused on safety measures, with a focus on knowledge, practices, and attitudes of nurses caring for patients undergoing cardiac catheterization. Design: A quasi-experimental research design with a pre/post-test approach was employed for this study. Setting: The study was conducted within the cardiac catheterization unit at Benha University Hospital, which is affiliated with Benha University, located in Qualyubia Governorate, Egypt. Sample: A convenience sample of 40 cardiac nurses of both genders was included in the study. Tools: Three distinct tools were employed: I. A structured interview questionnaire to assess nurses' knowledge concerning safety measures. II. A safety measures observational checklist to evaluate nurses' practical implementation of safety measures. III. A safety attitude questionnaire to gauge nurses' overall attitude towards safety. Results: Following the implementation of the intervention protocol, significant positive outcomes were observed: A highly statistically significant correlation between total knowledge and attitude among the studied nurses (p ≤ 0.001). A statistically significant correlation between total practices, total knowledge, and attitude among the studied nurses (p ≤ 0.05). Conclusion: The study's findings indicate a substantial improvement in nurses' overall knowledge, practices, and attitude concerning cardiac catheterization and safety measures immediately post-intervention protocol. Recommendations: To uphold patient safety and quality care, it is recommended that nurses working in cardiac catheterization units actively engage in continuous educational and training programs. These initiatives are crucial for updating nurses' knowledge and enhancing their practical skills with respect to safety measures concepts. Such ongoing professional development ensures that nurses remain current and competent in providing safe care for patients undergoing cardiac catheterization","PeriodicalId":311996,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Health Care","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126804476","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}

: Background: Acutely ill patients, more than any other patients, are at increased risk of perceiving powerlessness because they lack control over their immediate situation and are uncertain regarding their prognoses. Despite the seriousness of the problem of powerlessness, it tends to be ignored. No studies were found in the literature assessing feelings of powerlessness in acutely ill patients. The aim of the study: was to assess feelings of powerlessness in critically ill patients with cardiac diseases. Materials and Method: Research Design: A descriptive exploratory research design was utilized to accomplish this study. Setting: This study was carried out in three ICUs at Damanhour Medical Institute. Subjects: A purposive sample of 125 adult, conscious cardiac patients was recruited for the current study. Instrument: A patient's powerlessness assessment questionnaire was used to collect data. It is composed of two parts. Part I: demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients. Part II was the adapted powerlessness assessment tool for adult patients. Method: Patients were interviewed individually, and the researchers recorded the patients’ responses using the adapted powerlessness assessment tool for adult patients. Results: the total mean percent score of powerlessness in the studied patients was 58.83%. Only 15.2% of the studied patients did not have a perceived powerlessness. The highly statistically percent of the studied patients (46.4%) reported mild powerlessness. There were significant correlations between powerlessness domains; the mean percent scores of perceived capacity to perform behavior, the perception of decision making capacity, emotional response to the control of situations, the perception of decision making and emotional response to the control of situations and the total powerlessness score (p<0.001). Conclusion: the highest percentage of the studied patients admitted to the intensive care units experienced a varied level of powerlessness, and one fifth of them had a high level of powerlessness. Regular nursing assessment of perceived powerlessness for newly admitted critically ill patients is a must.

Background : Surgery such as mastectomy is frequently used to treat breast cancer in women, which has an impact on their quality of life. Both the physical and psychological needs of the women having mastectomy should be met, and their families must be involved in this care. However, psychological treatment is frequently neglected, including the giving of competent guidance, emotional support, and knowledge. Aim: To determine the effect of social media-based instructional guidelines on emotional status and quality of life for women undergoing mastectomy. Design : Pre& post-test using a quasi-experimental study design was used. Settings : The study was carried out in Egypt at Sohag City. Sample : From Facebook and WhatsApp groups, a purposeful sample of all available (300) women who had undergone mastectomy was collected in 2023. The online Google form spreadsheet was open from February 4 until February 25-2023. Tools : (I): A self-administered questionnaire (pre and post-test format) to assess post-mastectomy women's demographic characteristics and medical history; post-mastectomy women's knowledge about mastectomy (II): Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS); and (III): Quality of Life (QoL) scale. Results: showed that there was (85%) of women had an unsatisfactory level of knowledge pre-implementation compared to (90%) of them had a satisfactory level of knowledge post-implementation of social media-based instructional guidelines. Also were highly statistically significant variations in the knowledge of mastectomy among women and their levels of stress, anxiety, and depression before and after the adoption of the social media-based instructional guidelines. Additionally, after the social media-based educational guidelines were implemented, there were significant QoL increases (p<0.001). Conclusion: The study concluded that social media-based instructional guidelines implementation generated significant gains in the post-mastectomy women's knowledge has a good impact on reducing emotional disturbance such as depression, anxiety, and stress, and quality of life among women having a mastectomy. Recommendations: As a new teaching strategy for demonstrating health issues, the social media-based instructional guidelines should be carefully developed and implemented for all women having mastectomy.
