Background: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is one of the most widespread nutritional deficiency and accounts for almost one half of anemia cases . Aim: this study aims to assess primary school student's knowledge, practice and health beliefs regarding Iron Deficiency Anemia. Study design: Descriptive study was applied to achieve the aim of the current study. Setting: This study was conducted at three mixed primary schools that were selected randomly in Beni suef governorate . Sample: A multi stage random sample technique of 300 students was used for selection of the sample. Tools: Two tools were used for data collection tool I socio demographic data of students and their parents, students knowledge and reported practice related to iron deficiency anemia . Tool II Health beliefs of primary school students regarding Iron deficiency anemia . Results: 40 % of primary school students had poor total knowledge scores about Iron deficiency anemia. Moreover, 77 % of them had unsatisfactory total reported practice scores related to iron deficiency anemia. As well as 67.7 % of them had negative total health beliefs toward iron deficiency anemia. There were a statistically significant relation between students; their parent's characteristics and students total knowledge scores, reported practice scores and health beliefs scores. Conclusion: The current study concludes that, more than one third of studied students had poor total knowledge scores about iron deficiency anemia. More than half of them had unsatisfactory total reported practice related to iron deficiency anemia. More than half of primary school students had negative total health beliefs scores toward iron deficiency anemia. As well as, the current study found that a significance statistical relationship between socio demographic characteristics of primary school student's and total health beliefs scores. Recommendations: Health educational programs regarding iron deficiency anemia should be targeted to primary school children's as a component in their curricula.

Background: Critically ill patients usually have a wide range of life-threatening systemic disorders that may obscure relatively “minor” ocular problems and so Life-sustaining procedures take precedence in ICU. The critical care nurses and multidisciplinary teams’ lack of knowledge about the anatomy and physiology of the ocular system, ocular assessment, and the optimum eye care measures may contribute to the occurrence of ocular problems. Aim : This study aimed to assess critical care nurses' performance regarding eye care for critically ill patients. Research design: A descriptive research design was used to conduct this study. Sample: A purposive sample of 50 critical care nurses in Beni-Suef University Hospital’s intensive care units. Setting: This study was conducted in Beni-Suef University Hospital’s intensive care units. Tools: Three tools were used for data collection (1) Self- Administered Questionnaire, which covered the socio-demographic characteristics of the studied nurses, (2) Eye Care Competence Inventory which included (a) Knowledge Assessment, (b) Attitude Assessment, (3) Eye Care Practices Assessment Sheet which included (a)Methods and techniques of eye care, (b) Eye care practices observational checklist. Results: This study revealed that; about 74 % of the studied nurses had unsatisfactory level of knowledge regarding eye care, while about 92 % of the studied nurses had negative attitude regarding eye care and about 6 % of the studied nurses had satisfactory level of practice regarding eye care. Conclusion : the critical care nurses’ performance regarding eye care needs special educational program to provide optimum eye care. Recommendations: Continuous In-service training programs for critical care nurses are recommended to improve their performance regarding eye care.
