Background: Diabetes type II is one of the most serious health challenges as it affects both human and material resources. Due to its complication, there were varying degrees of disability, a decline in survival, a drop in living standards, and an increase in the financial load on the individual and family. Aim of study : evaluate the effect of health education program on elderly with diabetes type II for early detection of Alzheimer disease (Diabetes type III). Subjects and Method:-Study design: A quasi-experimental study Subjects : A convenience sample of 105 elderly with diabetes type II data Tools collection: Tool (I): A structured schedule . Part I: Bio-socio-demographic features of elderly with type II diabetes. Part II: Medical history. Part III: Knowledge of the elderly patient about type II diabetes (Diabetic Knowledge Test DKT). Tool (II): Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire (DSMQ) Tool III: King’s Health Questionnaire (KHQ) Tool (IV): Mini – Mental State Examination (MMSE) . Tool (V): physical assessment . Results: Greater than two-thirds of the studied elderly has lower level of knowledge about diabetes before intervention while two-thirds of elderly acquired high level of knowledge about it after intervention. Most of the studied elderly had low level of knowledge about Alzheimer disease before intervention while almost three-quarters of them had high level of knowledge about it after intervention. Conclusion and recommendation: greater incidence of minor cognitive impairment going undetected in type II diabetics. Efforts should be done to enhance knowledge and practical skills of the diabetic patients and their family.
背景：II 型糖尿病是最严重的健康挑战之一，因为它影响到人力和物力资源。由于其并发症，患者会出现不同程度的残疾，存活率下降，生活水平下降，个人和家庭的经济负担增加。研究目的：评估健康教育计划对 II 型糖尿病老人早期发现阿尔茨海默病（III 型糖尿病）的影响。研究对象与方法：-研究设计：准实验研究：105 名患有 II 型糖尿病的老年人：工具 (I)：结构化时间表。第一部分：患有 II 型糖尿病的老年人的生物-社会-人口特征。第二部分：病史。第三部分：老年患者对 II 型糖尿病的了解（糖尿病知识测试 DKT）。工具 (II)：糖尿病自我管理问卷（DSMQ） 工具 III：国王健康问卷（KHQ） 工具 (IV)：小型精神状态检查（MMSE）。工具（五）：体能评估 .结果：超过三分之二的老年人在干预前对糖尿病的了解程度较低，而三分之二的老年人在干预后对糖尿病的了解程度较高。大多数受试老人在干预前对阿尔茨海默病的了解程度较低，而干预后近四分之三的老人对该病的了解程度较高。结论和建议：在 II 型糖尿病患者中，未被发现的轻微认知障碍的发生率较高。应努力提高糖尿病患者及其家人的知识水平和实用技能。

Background: Fibromyalgia is a complex chronic condition that imposes a heavy burden on the self-enhancement and management abilities of the patient. Therefore, patient education is regarded as a crucial element of multimodal therapy. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of self-enhancement educational program for health practices among patients with fibromyalgia. A quasi-experimental research design was employed for this study, which took place at the Rheumatology and Immunology outpatient clinic at Mansoura University Hospital in Egypt. A purposive sample of 85 patients with fibromyalgia represented the study participants. Three tools were used in data collection ; Tool 1: A structured interview; Part 1: socio-demographic data and Part 2: Fibromyalgia Knowledge Questionnaire (FKQ), Tool 2: The Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Self-administered Questionnaire (FIQR) and Tool 3: Self - Rated Abilities for Health Practices Scale (SRAHP). Results illustrated that the self-enhancement educational program had positive effects on patients' knowledge level (4.22±4.75 to 15.21±4.35),, revised fibromyalgia impact (52.30±4.20 to 31.69 ±4.93) and their self-rated abilities for health practices (43.64±13.82 to 67.05±12.12) compared to pre-applying the program with P (<0.05) . Conclusion There were significant positive correlations between patients' self-rated abilities for health practices and both their knowledge and their total revised fibromyalgia impact post applying the self-enhancement educational program at P (<0.05) . Recommendation: Ongoing educational programs may be necessary to sustain improvements in a revised fibromyalgia impact and self-rated abilities for health practices.

: Background : Iron deficiency anemia is an important public nutritional health problem. Severe depletion of serum iron levels leads to hair loss. Aim : This study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of the Ayurvedic Program in managing hair loss associated with iron deficiency anemia among nursing students. Design: A quasi-experimental design was utilized. Setting : data were collected from the Faculty of Nursing, Menoufia University, Egypt. Sample : A purposive sample of 145 nursing students who were diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia and had hair loss. Tools: Four tools were used to collect data: Tool (I): a structured interviewing questionnaire, Tool (II): the IRONIC-FFQ, Tool (III): a Hair Loss Questionnaire, and Tool (IV): Bio-physiological measurements. Results : The mean age of the female student participants was 18.64 ± 0.62 years. Post implementation of the Ayurvedic program, there was a significant improvement in the mean total knowledge level compared to before the Ayurvedic program (23.46 ± 3.85 vs. 16.1 ± 2.40, respectively). Moreover, there were significant increases in hemoglobin level, mean cellular volume, hematocrit, serum iron, and ferritin post-Ayurvedic program than before (p < 0.01). Conclusion: The findings of this study indicated that the Ayurvedic program effectively manages hair loss associated with iron deficiency anemia among nursing students. The implementation of the Ayurvedic program resulted in significant positive changes in hemoglobin, mean cellular volume, hematocrit, serum iron, and ferritin. Recommendation: Public health awareness should be initiated to raise awareness about the Ayurvedic program and the relationship between iron deficiency anemia and hair loss.
