Background : Nomophobia, arising from discomfort or anxiety triggered by the inability to send or receive text messages, make phone calls, access the internet, engage with social networking platforms, or retrieve online information, is a growing concern. Aim of the study: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a psycho-educational program on nomophobia and social media addiction among undergraduate nursing student at Mansoura University. Research design: Employing a nonrandomized quasi-experimental (pre-post one-group) design, the research was conducted at the Faculty of Nursing, Mansoura University, Egypt. Sample: A total of 260 students participated, selected through stratification based on academic year (from first to fourth year), with two clusters chosen systematically from the available lists. Tools for data collection: All students within the clusters partook in the psychoeducational program, completing pre-and post-intervention questionnaires encompassing demographic questionnair, the Nomophobia Questionnaire, and the Social Media Addiction Scale. Results: Pre-intervention, all students exhibited moderate to high levels of nomophobia. Post-intervention, these levels shifted to moderate, signifying substantial statistical disparities in overall nomophobia scores. Likewise, significant variations were observed in pre-and post-intervention regarding social media addiction scores, with this trend holding true even in a stratified analysis of variable categories. Conclusion: The psychoeducation program is effective to alleviate nomophobia and social media addiction among undergraduate nursing students. Recommendations: Incorporating interventions that address technology-related challenges into nursing education, can better prepare future nurses to manage technology-induced psychological issues, thus enhancing their overall well-being and capacity to provide holistic

Background : Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) remains the leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Nurses play a critical role in prevention, early recognition and adequate management of PPH in the early postpartum period. Aim : to assess nurses’ performance regarding the guidelines for prevention of postpartum hemorrhage. Design: A descriptive design was utilized to conduct the current study. Settings: labor and postpartum units at Suez Canal University Hospitals, Ismailia, Egypt. Sample: A convenient sample of 75 nurses who provide direct care for laboring and postpartum women. Tools of data collection: Three tools were utilized: 1) structured self-administered questionnaire about nurses' personal characteristics and knowledge, 2) Observational checklist and 3) Nurse’s attitude Likert Scale. Results: More than half of the studied nurses (54.7%) had an average level of total knowledge regarding PPH in which about half (50.7%) of them had correct knowledge regarding nurses’ role in third stage of labor to prevent postpartum hemorrhage. The majority of the studied nurses (86.7%) had a poor level of total practice regarding guidelines for prevention of postpartum hemorrhage. Most of the studied nurses (84%) showed a positive attitude. There was statistically significant positive correlation between nurses' practice, and their attitude (r=0.251; P= 0.03*). Conclusion: The studied nurses had an average level of knowledge and a poor level of practice regarding the prevention of PPH, while the great majority of them had a positive attitude towards the prevention of PPH. Recommendations: Providing periodic training programs and workshops about prevention of PPH to improve the performance of nurses working in labor and postpartum units along with periodic evaluation of nurses' knowledge, practice and attitude. _

There was a statistically significant relationship between excessive screen-based media devices use and children’s sleep pattern ( P < .001). Almost 7 % of the variation of sleep pattern explained by screen media devices use. Conclusion: Excessive screen-based media devices use negatively affect children’s sleep pattern. Recommendations: An urgent intervention to increase awareness of parents is needed to limit their children’s screen-based media use and so mitigate its negative effect on their sleep pattern.","PeriodicalId":504279,"journal":{"name":"Trends in Nursing and Health Care Journal","volume":"982 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140774505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Background: Values are an integral part of a virtuous society and successful work. Their integration with the job ensures cooperative participation and mutual respect among the workforce and directs work to its highest possible outcomes. The workforce's job satisfaction, how to be led, and their shared values affect their performance and their organizational accomplishments. Aim: It was to assess shared values in relation to job satisfaction and leadership styles among academic and administrative staff. Subjects & Methods: The study was conducted on (120) academic and administrative staff of the faculty of nursing following comparative and correlational descriptive designs. Three tools were used for data collection: The Shared Value Questionnaire; The Job Satisfaction Survey; The Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire. Results: Shared values had no statistically significant differences between academic and administrative staff (P=0.660). Job satisfaction had no statistically significant difference between academic and administrative staff (P=0.260). Leadership styles had statistically significant differences between academic and administrative staff except for passive avoidant leadership styles (P=0.486). Conclusion: Both academic and administrative staff of faculty of nursing has shared their values and their level of satisfaction compared to leadership styles. Shared values had no significant correlation with leadership styles and job satisfaction among academic and administrative staff. However, the enhancement of the three issues will contribute to staff well-being and organization welfare. Recommendations: Taking needed measures regarding energizing shared values of both academic and administrative staff is endorsed. Also, improving job satisfaction of both staff especially regarding fringe benefits, communication, and creating activities contributing to staff promotion is recommended. Training programs are suggested for both staff on shared values and different leadership styles, the best for situations.
