Subjects: A convenient sample was used in the current study; their total number was 222 nurses. Tools: Humble leadership style practices scale, Organizational Trust Scale, and Resilience at Work Scale (RAW-S). Results: The indicated findings revealed that the majority of nurses exhibited an elevated disposition towards a humble leadership style, nearly two-thirds had a moderate level of organizational trust, and most of them demonstrated resilience in their work environment. Also, a fair, positive association was found between organizational trust and work resilience.

Background: Children with cerebral palsy require interdisciplinary treatment due to their multifunctional deficits. Consequently, high levels of stress, worry, and dread of the unknown are common among caregivers. Therefore, understanding cerebral palsy is crucial for caregiver adjustment and role preparation. But there is a dearth of scientific data on the most effective way to teach caregivers. The aim of this trial was to evaluate the effects of caregivers-centered package on functional balance and activities of daily living in children with cerebral palsy. Design: A randomized controlled trial was implemented in out-patient clinic affiliated with Mansoura University Children’s Hospital. A total sample size of 80 caregivers and their children was recruited using a randomization technique. Data collection tools were four: a structured interview questionnaire sheet for caregivers’ knowledge regarding CP; caregivers’ care reporting sheet ; cerebral palsy quality of life scale for children ; and pediatric balance scale. Results: It was evident that the study group who received educational package demonstrated highly statistical improvements regarding cerebral palsy knowledge and practice (P≤0.001), compared to the control group results, which showed insignificant differences (P=0. 246and P=0.06, respectively) at the three study phases. Conclusion: The educational package for caregivers had an improving effect on their knowledge and practice regarding cerebral palsy, in addition to its positive effect on their children's quality of life and functional balance. Recommendation: Developing and implementing an educational initiative for mothers regarding care of their children with CP continuously.
