Background: Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is one of the most prevalent pediatric rheumatic disorders causing severe impairments such as persistent pain, impaired physical function and subsequent sleep disturbance that may increase the risk of an overall sedentary lifestyle. Aim of this study was to identify the relationship between sleep quality, functional ability and lifestyle habits of children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Design: A descriptive correlational design was utilized. Setting: The study was took place at the outpatient clinic of the rheumatology and rehabilitation department at Zagazig University Hospitals. Subjects: Purposive sample of fifty-five children with JIA aged 6–16 years were included from the previous mentioned setting. Tools: Four tools were used to gather the required data. Tool I: Children bio socio demographic characteristics. Tool II: Sleep quality scale (SQS). Tool III: Functional ability questionnaire. Tool IV: Lifestyle questionnaire. Results: It was clarified that more than one third of children had poor sleep quality and two fifths of them had low functional ability, as well as more than two fifths of them had poor lifestyle habits. Conclusion: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis had a negative effect on sleep quality, functional ability and lifestyle habits of the studied children. Moreover, there was highly statistically significant positive correlation between children’s sleep quality, functional ability and their lifestyle habits. Recommendations: Developing an educational program regarding lifestyle modifications is mandatory for children with JIA.

Background: Interns face many stressors that can affect their work and overall well-being. Emotionally intelligent nurses think positively and live fulfilling lives, which reduces their perceived stress. Aim: of this study was to examine the mediating role of emotional intelligence in the relationship between perceived stress and life satisfaction among nursing intern students. Design: A descriptive correlational research design was utilized. Sample : Convenient sample of 200 of 375 internship-year students. Setting: Data was gathered from several clinical settings where nursing intern students were trained at Kasr El-Aini hospital. Tools: Four tools were used, Personal characteristics data sheet, Emotional Intelligence questionnaire, Perceived stress questionnaire, and Life satisfaction scale. Results: This study found that 61.0% of participants were females. Most (83%) were single. (68.5%) nursing intern students exhibited high emotional intelligence, (62%), moderate stress, and (88.5%) moderate life satisfaction. Nursing intern students' perceived stress levels were negatively correlated with their life satisfaction but not with their emotional intelligence. Conclusion: Emotional intelligence did not mediate the connection between stress and life satisfaction. Also it was found that there was a direct negative relationship between perceived stress levels and Life satisfaction levels. Recommendation: Further research with larger sample sizes is recommended to generalize and enhance the understanding of the connection between emotional intelligence, perceived stress, and life satisfaction among this specific group of students.

Background: Stroke is a major health disorder in the twenty-one century and it's one of the leading causes of elderly death and disability in the upper limbs sensory-motor functions. Mirror therapy is currently used in rehabilitation for stroke elderly patients in either clinical or home-based settings to accelerate upper limb sensory-motor recovery. Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of home-based mirror therapy on enhancing the upper limb sensory-motor recovery of elderly patients post-stroke. Design: A pre to post-test experimental design was utilized Subjects: A purposive sample of 40 elderly patients post-stroke was recruited Setting: The study was conducted in the Rheumatology and Rehabilitation Unit of Mansoura University Hospital and at Elders Homes. Tools: An interview schedule sheet and three standardized tools were used Results: The mean age of elderly patients post-stroke in both the intervention and comparison group was 65.70±6.11 and 65.35±7.34 years, respectively with no significant difference (p>0.05). A highly statistically significant difference was found in all parameters of the sensory-motor recovery of the upper limb in the intervention group (p<0.01) at pre, and follow-up phases of intervention. Also, highly statistically significant differences were noted between both groups regarding all parameters (p< 0.01) in post-test I and II. Conclusion: Home-based mirror therapy is a practical, easy, and cheap nursing intervention that can be used as an adjunct therapy with conventional therapy for recovery of the upper limb in elderly patients post-stroke. Recommendation: Mirror therapy should be practiced in either clinical or community settings.

Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of home-based mirror therapy on enhancing the upper limb sensory-motor recovery of elderly patients post-stroke. Design: A pre to post-test experimental design was utilized Subjects: A purposive sample of 40 elderly patients post-stroke was recruited Setting: The study was conducted in the Rheumatology and Rehabilitation Unit of Mansoura University Hospital and at Elders Homes. Tools: An interview schedule sheet and three standardized tools were used Results: The mean age of elderly patients post-stroke in both the intervention and comparison group was 65.70±6.11 and 65.35±7.34 years, respectively with no significant difference (p>0.05). A highly statistically significant difference was found in all parameters of the sensory-motor recovery of the upper limb in the intervention group (p<0.01) at pre, and follow-up phases of intervention. Also, highly statistically significant differences were noted between both groups regarding all parameters (p< 0.01) in post-test I and II. Conclusion: Home-based mirror therapy is a practical, easy, and cheap nursing intervention that can be used as an adjunct therapy with conventional therapy for recovery of the upper limb in elderly patients post-stroke. Recommendation: Mirror therapy should be practiced in either clinical or community settings.","PeriodicalId":320622,"journal":{"name":"Assiut Scientific Nursing Journal","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140519848","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: Worldwide, preeclampsia is an increasingly leading cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Preeclampsia prevention requires an effective, ongoing, and easily accessible educational model. Aim: To evaluate the effect of virtual PRECDE model application on pregnant women's Knowledge and reported practices regarding preventive behaviors of preeclampsia. Design: A quasi-experimental research design (pre and posttest) was used. Settings: The study was conducted at Antenatal Outpatient Clinics in the New Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Mansoura City, Dakahlia Governorate, Egypt. Subjects: A purposive sample of 118 high-risk pregnant women for preeclampsia. Tools: Three questionnaires were utilized; A structured interviewing questionnaire, knowledge questionnaire for Predisposing, Enabling, and Reinforcing factors (PRECEDE Model) and pregnant women's reported practices of preeclampsia preventative behaviors questionnaire. Results: There was statistically significant increase in the total knowledge scores of predisposing, enabling, and reinforcing factors both immediately and one month later. Furthermore, one month after the intervention pregnant women exhibited satisfactory practices towards preeclampsia preventive measures compared to pre-intervention. Also, the majority of high-risk pregnant women did not develop preeclampsia following the use of PRECDE Model intervention. Conclusion: The current study hypotheses were accepted where the application of virtual PRECEDE model was an effective tool to improve pregnant women’s knowledge and practices regarding preventive behaviors of preeclampsia. Recommendation: Incorporating nursing interventions guided by the PRECEDE model into routine prenatal care for the expected high risk pregnant women to prevent the occurrence of preeclampsia.
