Background: Despite global efforts, medical errors continue to pose a serious challenge to patient safety. Between the need for medical error disclosure as a key tool for error prevention and the fear of disclosures' negative threats, nurses are confronted with challenges and barriers to disclosing and reporting medical errors. Aim: The current study aimed to evaluate the effect of instructional guidelines on nurses' perceived barriers regarding medical error disclosure. Design: A quasi-experimental design with one group (pretest and posttest) was used. Setting: The study was carried out at inpatient departments and outpatient clinics affiliated to Mansoura University Hospital, Egypt. Subjects: A purposive sample of 100 nurses with different educational levels were eligible to be enrolled in the study. Tools: The researchers using two tools: Nurses' demographic characteristics, and professional data questionnaire, and the barriers to error disclosure assessment tool. Results: The results showed that all the studied nurses (100%) were exposed to medical errors and had barriers to disclosing them. Nurses’ knowledge and confidence abilities to disclose medical errors were the most significant perceived barriers, with total mean scores of 4.37±0.43. After implementing instructional guidelines, nurses' perceived barriers regarding medical error disclosure significantly differed (t = 58.918 & p = 0.000), in which the total mean score of the perceived barriers improved to 2.89±0.33 post-implementing the guidelines compared to 4.24±0.36 pre-implementing the guidelines. Conclusion: The current study concluded that empowering the studied nurses by implementing the instructional guidelines had a positive effect on their perceived barriers regarding medical error disclosure. Recommendations: Raising nurses awareness regarding medical error disclosure by adding disclosure guidelines to the curricula of educational nursing institutions, in addition to incorporating them into ongoing in-service training programs at different health care settings.

Background: Nursing universities have a short history of using electronic online exams as an integral part of students’ assessment that have the potential to trigger anxiety in nursing students. The success of the electronic online exams can be measured based on students’ self-satisfaction and attitudes. Aim: Identify nursing students' anxiety, self-satisfaction and attitudes toward electronic online exams. Design: Descriptive exploratory research design was used . Setting: The study conducted at the Faculty of Nursing, Tanta University . Tools: Three tools were used. Tool (I): Test Anxiety Questionnaire, Tool (II): Student's satisfaction toward electronic online exams and Tool (III): Student’s attitudes toward electronic online exams. Results: 63.4 % of nursing students had moderate level of anxiety toward electronic online exam, and 62.9% of students expressed moderate level of satisfaction. Whereas, 83% of nursing students in first academic year had positive attitude toward online exam compared to 49.1% of fourth academic year. There was a highly statistically significant relation between sex, academic years and student’ anxiety. Also, it was a highly statistically significant relation between academic year, number of previous online exams and student' attitudes. Conclusion: Female students had a higher anxiety than male toward online exam and first year students had higher scores of positive attitude toward online exam than other students. Moreover, student’s anxiety correlates positively with the poor attitude and negatively with student’s satisfaction. Recommendations: The nursing students on the third and fourth academic year should be prepared well with frequent electronic online quizzes or exams.

: Background: Excessive noise is a serious issue for patients in intensive care units, and it has the potential to have a negative psychological impact on patients' prognoses. As a result, the World Health Organization advises that hospitals' noise levels should not rise above 35 dB during the day and 30 dB at night. Objective: Evaluate the effect of implementing noise reduction nursing interventions on alarm fatigue and sound levels in intensive care. Settings: The study was conducted at the Damanhur Medical National Institute's general ICUs. Subjects: For this study, a practical sample of 30 critical care nurses was used. Tools of the study: Two tools were employed to gather the information. Tool I: was the nurses’ alarm fatigue questionnaire, which was used to measure nurses' alarm fatigue. Tool II: was an assessment of nurse commitment to noise reduction interventions, which was used to assess nurses' commitment to noise reduction interventions. Results: The findings of the current study revealed that there was a statistically significant reduction in noise level before and after training the study group (P= 0.001) . Conclusion: Applying noise reduction interventions had a stronger effect on lowering the noise level score and alarm level of weariness. Recommendations : The current study advises minimizing patient exposure to noise and implementing preventative and reduction methods to battle noise in ICUs

As a result, the World Health Organization advises that hospitals' noise levels should not rise above 35 dB during the day and 30 dB at night. Objective: Evaluate the effect of implementing noise reduction nursing interventions on alarm fatigue and sound levels in intensive care. Settings: The study was conducted at the Damanhur Medical National Institute's general ICUs. Subjects: For this study, a practical sample of 30 critical care nurses was used. Tools of the study: Two tools were employed to gather the information. Tool I: was the nurses’ alarm fatigue questionnaire, which was used to measure nurses' alarm fatigue. Tool II: was an assessment of nurse commitment to noise reduction interventions, which was used to assess nurses' commitment to noise reduction interventions. Results: The findings of the current study revealed that there was a statistically significant reduction in noise level before and after training the study group (P= 0.001) . Conclusion: Applying noise reduction interventions had a stronger effect on lowering the noise level score and alarm level of weariness.
