Background: Emotional intelligence (EI) has been associated with positive outcomes for nursing students. The most significant factor in establishing an adolescent's level of emotional intelligence is their nurturing environment, chiefly their mothers because of their prolonged direct contact with them. Aim: This study aimed to assess the effect of a mother’s work and perceived parenting style on emotional intelligence among adolescent nursing students. Design: A descriptive cross-sectional study. Setting: This study was conducted at the five technical secondary nursing schools for boys and girls affiliated with the Egyptian Ministry of Health, and Population in Damietta governorate. Subjects: A convenient sample consisted of 417 adolescent nursing students. Data collection tools: Three tools were used; 1 st tool was a structured questionnaire to assess socio-demographic data of the studied adolescent nursing student and their parents, 2 nd tool was the profile of emotional competence (PEC) to assess Intrapersonal EI, Interpersonal EI, and global EI, and 3 rd tool was the scale of parenting style to assess perceived parenting styles. Results: There was no statistically significant relationship between the mother's work either with the emotional intelligence of studied adolescent nursing students or the parenting style as perceived by them. There were highly statistically significant correlations between the studied adolescent nursing students' EI and parent styles as perceived by them. Conclusion: Up on the finding of the current study, it was found that more than half of the studied adolescent nursing students have a moderate level of EI. On the other hand, there was a highly significant relationship between the quality of time spent with their mothers and their intrapersonal and global emotional intelligence. Recommendations: Mothers should spend quality time with their adolescents; listening to them, especially about their difficulties in understanding and dealing with others. The Profile of Emotional Competence (PEC) scale should be applied to nursing students to figure out those who need to develop intrapersonal or interpersonal EI or both.

Background : Women with childbirth experience as a significant life event that can affect them for the rest of their lives. Research from previous years supports the effectiveness of childbirth coaching sessions as one of the best ways to help women improve self-efficacy and cope with labour pain. Aim : Evaluate the effect of birth preparation coaching sessions on women's self efficacy for coping with labor pains and outcomes. Design: Quasi-experimental research design was used in this study. Setting: This study was carried out at antenatal care clinics in health care centers and the labor unit at Dar Sahet Elmar`Aa hospital that follow Egypt healthcare authority in Port Said city. Sample: 132 of primigravida women were randomly divided into two groups as part of a purposive sample. Tools : Four main tools were used: A Structured interviewing questionnaire, childbirth self-efficacy inventory, numerical rating scale, and childbirth outcomes sheet. Results : Showed that the mean scores for result outcome expectancy and self efficacy expectancy at the pretest did not significantly differ between the study and control groups. However during the posttest and throughout the follow-up phase, there were highly significant differences between the two groups (p=0.000). Additionally, the mean score of labour pain during the 1st and 2nd stage of labour decrease among the study group compared to control groups with highly significant differences (p = 0.001). Based on the method of delivery, intrapartum complications, and duration of labour, there were statistically significant differences between the studied groups (p=0.010, 0.015 and 0.005 respectively). Moreover, the studied groups differed statistically significantly in terms of apgar scores and ICU admissions (p= 0.002 & 0.012 respectively). Furthermore, both the studied groups showed positive correlations among total pain scores, self-efficacy scores, and labour outcomes. Conclusion: The study concluded that birthing coaching sessions improved study group members' self-efficacy in managing labour pain and labour outcomes when compared to control group members. Recommendations: To improve pregnant women's self efficacy, outpatient clinics should distribute brochures and posters about simple ways to deal with labour pain.

Background : Lactational amenorrhea is a normal postpartum physiological phenomenon. It offers specific biologic advantages for both the mother and the baby. Nature appears to protect the mother from an immediate second pregnancy through the natural contraception method. Aim : Assess the utilization of emergency contraceptive pills as a backup for lactational amenorrhea methods of postpartum contraception among women and evaluate the effectiveness of an educational program on nurses' knowledge toward the utilization of emergency contraceptive pills as a backup for lactational amenorrhea methods of postpartum contraception. Subjects & methods: designs: a cross-sectional descriptive survey for women and a quasi-experimental intervention for nurses. Two main convenient samples were recruited in the study: women's attending family planning clinics, or pediatric clinics for immunization of children (260), and family planning nurses (20). Tools used for data collection were a structured interview questionnaire for the women's and a self-administrated questionnaire for the nurses'. Results : A great majority of women don't know the criteria for lactational amenorrhea and start sexual intercourse more than 40 days after labor. More than one-quarter of women had unintended pregnancies. The great majority of women weren't aware of the emergency contraceptive pills. Statistically significant improvement was revealed at both the post-and follow-up phases. Despite some decline, the level at the follow-up phase was still statistically significantly higher than the pre-program levels. Conclusion : Women did not depend on emergency contraceptive methods as an effective method and did not use emergency contraceptive methods after labor. Implementation of the educational program was associated with statistically significant improvements in nurses' knowledge regarding ECPs. Recommendation : Maternity nurses should increase women's awareness and knowledge about the criteria of the lactational amenorrhea method and the importance of using emergency contraceptive pills to support the lactational amenorrhea method in cases of unprotected intercourse until a more effective contraceptive method is used

: Background : As the number of males, entering nursing and midwifery increases in number, the challenges faced by these males during training sessions also is on the rise. Male nurses face challenges in their education and practice as a result of their gender and stereotypes associated with being a male in a female-dominated profession. Since these challenges vary from culture to culture, it is essential to understand the experiences and challenges of male nursing students during their nursing education. The study aimed to explore the perception and strategies to overcome challenges among male undergraduate nursing students during their maternity clinical practice. Design: A descriptive study design was utilized. Setting: The study was applied in the Faculty of Nursing at Sohag University. Subjects: A purposive sample composed of 110 male undergraduate nursing students from the previously mentioned setting were enrolled in the Maternal Health Nursing Course as a part of their nursing program, at the Faculty of Nursing during the Academic Years 2022 and 2023. Tools were used for data collection : Tool (I): The self-administered questionnaire included 18 items 5-point Likert scale to identify the challenges experienced by male nursing students in their maternity clinical practice, and 14 items to assess comfort level in performing procedures in maternity clinical areas and Tool (II): Likert Rating Scale. Results: Challenges were encountered by approximately two-thirds ( 65.6 %) of the study participants during their maternity course. A negative attitude towards the maternity clinical course was reported by over half (56%) of the male undergraduate nursing students and 91.20 % of male undergraduate nursing students decided to not work in maternity areas post-graduation. Conclusions: Many male undergraduate nursing students have considerable difficulties in their maternity clinical practice. Due to gender differences and cultural influences, the participants firmly believed that they would not be accepted by maternity clients. Recommendation : Male nurses should be protected from prejudice and given opportunities to advance their careers in the obstetric department. Nurse educators should also help male students get ready for interactions with female customers in a variety of contexts. It made the case for professionalism, the development of gender and cultural awareness, advocacy, and an acceptance of gender diversity in maternity clinical practice.

Background Nurses play a crucial role in providing effective care for vitiligo patients undergoing phototherapy. Their knowledge and practice about vitiligo care is influenced by various characteristics. Understanding these relationships and educating nurses can guide the development of targeted interventions to improve nurses' knowledge and practice and enhance patient care outcomes. Aim To determine the Effect of Implementing Educational Guidelines on Nurses' Knowledge and Practice toward Caring of Vitiligo Patients Undergoing of Photo Therapy. Research design A quasi-experimental design was used to achieve the aim of the study. Setting The study was conducted in Sheikh Zayed Dermatology Hospital in Ismailia, Egypt. Materials and methods A convenient sample of 40 nurses was recruited. Tools of data collection Two tools were used: Nurses' interview questionnaire sheet, and Assessment Nurses’ practices toward vitiligo patients check lists. Results There was a lack in nurses’ knowledge before educational guidelines which increased in post and follow-up phases of educational guidelines with a highly statistically significant difference (P< 0.01). As evidence, 22.5% and 30.0% of the studied nurses have satisfactory level of total knowledge at pre-intervention, respectively. While changed to be 90.0% and 95.0% after implementation of educational nursing guidelines, respectively, with a statistically significant difference (P=0.000).
