Background : Lack of attention and support is causing detrimental physical and emotional impacts among caregivers of children with mental health issues like Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Caregivers of individuals with ADHD bear a heavy emotional, social, and financial strain. Resilience and parenting approaches are crucial for improving the functioning of families with children who have ADHD. Aim of the study : To evaluate the relation between care burden, parenting style and resilience among caregivers of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Research design: A descriptive correlative research design was utilized to achieve the aim of the study. Setting : The study was performed at children and adolescent outpatient clinic of Minia hospital for psychiatric health and addiction treatment Sample: A Convenience sample of 100 caregivers with their children was involved in this research. Tools: tool (I) A structured interview questionnaire covering the demographic characteristics of the studied parents, and their children, tool (II) Caregiver Burden Inventory (CBI), tool (III)Parenting Styles Questionnaire and tool (IV)Resilience Scale for Adults. Results: More than three quarter of caregivers had high burden, two thirds of the caregivers had moderate resilience and authoritative parenting style was highly used by the majority of the studied parents. Conclusion: It was concluded that total burden has a significant positive correlation with authoritative as well as permissive style, while there was a significant negative correlation with resilience as well as authoritarian style Recommendations : Counseling services of caregivers and their children with ADHD will be needed.

Background: Self-criticism is seen as the main of psychopathology in Major depressive disorder (MDD). It has been demonstrated that higher suicide rates and more severe MDD are linked to self-criticism. Therefore, it is important for psychiatric nurses through their interaction with patients with MDD to assess patients’ self-criticism. This assessment would guide them in the early identification of this risk factor to open the possibility of preventing suicide in the context of clinical practice. Aim: to determine the relation between suicide probability and self-criticism among patients with MDD. Methods: Design: Descriptive correlational design was utilized in this study. Setting: outpatient psychiatric department of Tanta University Hospital affiliated to Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research. Subject: The study subject was composed of a convenient sample of 150 patients diagnosed with MDD per DSM-5. Tools: suicide probability questionnaire (Cull & Gill, 1982) , and self-criticizing/attacking and self-reassuring scale (Gilbert et al., 2004). Results : There was a highly statistically significant positive correlation between suicide probability and self-criticism. Conclusion: This study concluded that there was a high level of self-criticism and suicidal probability among patients with MDD. Also, higher levels of self-criticizing scale are associated with higher probability of suicide. Recommendation: Psychiatric nurses should assess self-criticism routinely for patients with MDD and develop psycho-educational programs that target self-criticism to decrease suicide probability.

Preterm infants are sensitive and experience pain through invasive procedures in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit more than term infants. One of the painful and frequent procedures is cannulation. Aim: this study was to determine the effect of Yakson touch and pacifier on pain and physiological response in preterm infants during cannulation. Methods: a clinical trial of 60 preterm infants was conducted in a NICU affiliated with El-Arbain Hospital, Assiut governorate, Upper Egypt. Sixty preterm infants matched the inclusion criteria were included in this study divided chronologically into two groups (Yakson and control groups). Thirty infants were in each group. Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS) was used to evaluate pain responses. Pain and physiological indicators (pulse, respiration, and oxygen saturation) were measured before and after cannulation. Comparison was done among the control and study groups to define the effect. Results: The mean gestational age of the included infants was 33.17 and 33.93 weeks in both the Yakson and control groups respectively, and the weight mean was 1.49 kg with no statistical differences among both groups. While days of life have differed which infants in the control group had high days of life mean. Respiration and pulse rates decreased after the procedure in the Yakson group, while they increased in control. Also, the pain means scores increased after the painful procedure in the control group while decreased in Yakson (control after = 6.03, Yakson after = 3.90). Conclusion: Yakson's touch message successfully decreased pain levels, pulse, and respiration rates among preterm infants exposed to painful procedures. Moreover, performing Yakson improves oxygen saturation levels among preterm infants in the study group. Recommendations : try to incorporate Yakson touch into routine care to maintain preterm infants' stability.
