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.

: Background: Smartphone addiction is a global widespread issue among young adults and it may have detrimental effects on their wellbeing. Aim of the study was to investigate smartphone addiction among technical institute nursing students: nomophobia and health. Subjects & Methods: Design: Descriptive design was used to conduct this study. Setting: The existing study was conducted in technical institute of nursing at Zagazig University. Sample: 360 students enrolled in the study. Tools: interview questionnaire, Smartphone Addiction Scale Short Version, Nomophobia Questionnaire, Neck Disability Index and Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire. Results: The results showed that 15% of Female Nursing Students with experienced of smartphone addiction compared with 13.33% among the male and more than half (58.06%) of the studied sample had moderate level of nomophobia. The highest mean score domain in the Neck Disability Index was headache (1.61±1.44), 37.50% of the studied sample had moderate musculoskeletal discomfort and 35% of them complained of blurred vision. Ultimately, there were statistically significant positive correlations between smartphone addiction, nomophobia, neck disability, musculoskeletal discomfort and eye problems. Conclusion: Smartphone addiction affects negatively on nomophobia and health. Recommendation: Nursing intervention program about hazards of smartphone addiction and its effects on health.

Background: Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) considers the most prevalent sort of urine incontinence that reduces quality of life. Aim: To evaluate the effect of nursing interventions on reducing severity of stress urinary incontinence among adult women. Research design: Quazi experimental research design was utilized to conduct this study. Setting: This study was carried out in the urology outpatient clinic in the Urology and Nephrology Assuit University Hospital. Sample: A sample of 50 adult women, the mean age of studied patients was (42.22±11.84). Tools of the study: Two tools were used by the researcher namely: Tool I: A structured interview questionnaire sheet it included two parts, part i: Demographic data of patient and part ii: Medical& urological data assessment. Tool II: Sandvik Incontinence Severity Index (ISI), this tool was used to assess the severity of stress urinary incontinence before and after nursing interventions to assess its effect on reducing severity of stress urinary incontinence. Results: Following the implementation of nursing interventions, there was a statistically significant decrease in the severity of stress urinary incontinence episodes (p=0.051). Conclusion: Provided nursing interventions are effective in reducing severity of SUI in adult women. Recommendations: Using various educational methods in a regular basis for appropriate management of stress urinary incontinence among adult women.

: Background : Workplace social undermining antecedents can lead to serious consequences on nurses’ performance and work related relationships that in turn affect the hospital overall quality and reputation. Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of workplace social undermining on nurses’ organizational trust and care co-creation. Subject and Methods : Design: Descriptive correlational design was applied to achieve present study aim. Setting: The s tudy was conducted in El-Mehallah Cardiology Center Subject: all available (213) nurses. Tools: Three tools were used; nurses’ perception of workplace social undermining, nurses’ perception of organizational trust, and nurses’ care co-creation questionnaire. Results : 55.4% perceived high levels of total workplace social undermining. 83.1% of nurses perceived low levels of total organizational trust and 63.4% of nurses had low levels of total care co-creation . Conclusion : there were significant negative correlations between workplace social undermining, organizational trust, and care co-creation. Recommendations: Hospital administration need to set a zero tolerance policy of workplace social undermining and continually asses its occurrence. Nurse supervisors need to recognize nurses' positive contributions, and share decisions, ideas, skills and knowledge with nurses.

: Fear of childbirth refers to feelings of uncertainty and anxiety before, during, or postpartum that have negative childbirth outcomes. Emotional Freedom Technique is a psychophysiological intervention that helps in reducing fear of childbirth, posttraumatic stress disorder, improving the individual‟s negative emotions and managing associated physical disorders. Aim: evaluate the effect of Emotional Freedom Technique on fear of childbirth and stress among primiparous women during the first stage of labor. Design: Quasi experimental study was used. Study sample: A purposive sample of one hundred and two primiparous women was allocated to either the intervention or the control group, with 51 women in each group. Tools of data collection: Three tools were used; a structured interview questionnaire, childbirth attitudes questionnaire & subjective units of distress scale. Results: The present study findings showed that in the latent, active & transitional phases of labor after applying Emotional Freedom Technique, there were highly statistically significant decrease in fear of childbirth and stress of childbirth in favor of the intervention group (p= 0.001). Conclusion: Emotional Freedom was an effective technique in reducing primiparous women‟s fear of childbirth & stress at the first stage of labor. Recommendations : Utilization of Emotional Freedom Technique as a routine care to reduce fear of childbirth and stress among primiparous women during labor.
