Background: Obsessive-compulsive disorder OCD is a serious psychiatric condition characterized by obsessions and repetitive compulsions. Nurses have a challenge to provide evidence-based care by identifying risk factors that exacerbate the symptoms and severity of OCD. There has been a significant emphasis in recent years on examining psychological and interpersonal aspects, such as parental behaviors, adult attachment styles, and fear of self, among those with OCD. Aim: To examine the relationship between perceived parenting behaviors, adult attachment styles, fear of self, and severity of OCD. Design: A descriptive correlational design was utilized in this study. Sample: A purposive sample of 86 OCD patients were recruited from the outpatient clinics at El Kasr El Ainy Psychiatric and Addiction Hospital. Tools of data collection : A Sociodemographic and Medial data sheet, Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale, Parenting Authority Questionnaire, Yarmouk Scale of Adult Attachment Styles, and Fear of self-questionnaire. Result: Anxious attachment style had a strong statistically significant positive correlation with authoritarian, permissive parenting behavior, and severity of OCD. Moreover, fear of self had a statistically significant positive correlation with anxious and avoidant attachment styles, and negative significant correlation with secure attachment style. As well, there was statistically significant impact of authoritarian, permissive parenting behaviors, and anxious attachment style on the severity of OCD symptoms. Conclusion : Parenting behaviors, adult attachment styles, and fear of self are strongly associated with OCD. Counseling interventions are necessary to assist these patients in transcending their emotional challenges

Background : A multifaceted idea, sustainability awareness includes information, attitudes, and actions about environmental, social, and economic issues. So, the current study aimed to explore the effect of social media-based educational guidelines on academic nursing students' performance regarding sustainability development. Design : Quasi-experimental research design one group pre & post-test was utilized. Setting : The study was conducted in the Faculty of Nursing, Port Said University in Egypt using an online questionnaire via Google Form and submitting the following link (https://docs.google.com/forms/dle/1FALP HKsd). Subjects : A purposive sample of academic nursing students was obtained from social media such as Facebook and WhatsApp groups who already use social media, and agreed to participate in this study, and all of them took the pre-and post-test. Tools : The Sustainability Consciousness Questionnaire (SCQ) was introduced to academic nursing students through interventions by Whats App and Facebook groups. SCQ included three parts used to measure academic nursing students' knowledge, attitudes, andbehaviors regarding sustainability development. Results : After the study group was given social media-based training guidelines, the study's mean score for nursing students' knowledge, attitude, and behavior toward sustainable development increased. A highly significant difference (p≤0.05) was seen between the pre and post-social media-based educational guidance intervention. Conclusion : The study's conclusions support the idea that social media-based instructional guidelines can help nursing students perform better in terms of sustainability development. Recommendation : The concept of sustainability development ought to be incorporated into nursing courses, according to the findings. To instill a culture of sustainability development among students, nursing educators should also broaden and update their knowledge on the subject.

Background: Expectant management of the third stage of labor is known as conservative or physiological or passive management. Active management of the third stage of labor as a prophylactic intervention is composed of a package of three components: Administration of a uterotonic agent within one minute after the baby is born; after the cord is clamped; delivery of the placenta by controlled cord traction with counter-traction on the fundus; and fundal massage after delivery of the placenta. Aim: to compare the effects of active management versus expectant management of the third stage of labor and evaluate the effect of an educational programs on nurses' knowledge about the management of the third stage of labor. Subjects and methods:- Research - designs: Two research designs were used: The first is a cross-sectional descriptive survey. The second is a quasi-experimental intervention study. Sample: A total of 300 pregnant women; group (1) 150 women using active management compared with group (2) 150 ones using expectant management were randomly recruited for this study. As well as 20 nurses. Setting : The current study was conducted at the delivery unit in Beni-Suef University Hospital. Tools : Four tools were used, namely the interview questionnaire form, maternal assessment record, partograph, and nurses’ knowledge questionnaire (pre-and post-test). Results: The results revealed that all women in the two groups had vaginal deliveries; the third stage was shorter in the active group, but the difference was not statistically significant. Women in the active group had significantly less blood loss at the second and third stages. The active group had significantly lower hemoglobin levels before delivery, but after delivery, this difference disappeared. Conclusion: Active management of the third stage of labor is associated with a shorter duration of the third stage, less blood loss, and less decline in the hemoglobin level. Post-intervention, there was a significant improvement in the nurse’s knowledge about management of the third stage of labor. Recommendations: Active management of the third stage is a safe and effective procedure that should be used in the health care setting providing delivery care services.

In critical care settings, physical restraint is, popular nursing procedure performed by critical care nurses to prevent delirious or irritable patients from disconnecting tubes and lines and to maintain patient safety. However, inappropriate physical restraint performance causes many adverse effects on patient outcomes. Aim: to evaluate the impact of ICU physical restraint standards on critical care nurse's knowledge, practice, and outcome among critically ill Adult and older adult patient outcome. Design: Quasi-experimental research designs and observational design pre-post assessment were used to assess nurse's knowledge and to observe their practices of PR use in ICUs at two-time intervals: before the intervention, at its completion, and 12 weeks after completion, whereas the effect on patients’ complications was assessed before and after implementation. Tools for data collection: Three tools were used for collect data of this study. Tool I : Pre / Post-test A structured interview questionnaire for nurses: It was developed by the researchers. It consisted of three parts: part 1 Socio-demographic characteristics of critical care nurses, as age, sex, marital status, qualification etc. Part 2: Assess nurse’s level of knowledge as regard with PR care standards. This part involves 31-items of multiple-choice questions to assess nurses' knowledge regarding patient restrain. Tool II: pre/post the critical care nursing practice observational checklist sheet for nurses: It included 17 steps divided into four domains: Assessment and preparation phase (6 items), application phase (5 items), post care and maintenance phase (5 items). and documentation (1 item). Tool III: Consequences of restraining in the form of problems or complications outcome sheet: consists of two parts: Part 1: Socio-demographic characteristics of adult and older adult. Part 2: Consequences of PR in the form of problems or complications (outcome) . Results: the results showed marked deficiencies in nurses’ knowledge and practices before the physical restraint standard with significant improvements at the post and follow-up evaluations. Additionally, significantly improvement in patient outcomes (complication decreased) after the study intervention. Recommendation: this study suggests that a continuous training package in nursing standards can significantly improve nurses’ knowledge and practice regarding physical restraining of ICU patients, with subsequent decreases in the rate of adverse effects of PR complications among these patients.

Tool II: pre/post the critical care nursing practice observational checklist sheet for nurses: It included 17 steps divided into four domains: Assessment and preparation phase (6 items), application phase (5 items), post care and maintenance phase (5 items). and documentation (1 item). Tool III: Consequences of restraining in the form of problems or complications outcome sheet: consists of two parts: Part 1: Socio-demographic characteristics of adult and older adult. Part 2: Consequences of PR in the form of problems or complications (outcome) . Results: the results showed marked deficiencies in nurses’ knowledge and practices before the physical restraint standard with significant improvements at the post and follow-up evaluations. Additionally, significantly improvement in patient outcomes (complication decreased) after the study intervention. Recommendation: this study suggests that a continuous training package in nursing standards can significantly improve nurses’ knowledge and practice regarding physical restraining of ICU patients, with subsequent decreases in the rate of adverse effects of PR complications among these patients.","PeriodicalId":505881,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Health Care","volume":"64 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141278572","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: The development of chronic diseases is influenced by a multitude of factors, including genetic predisposition, lifestyle choices, and environmental exposures. In recent years, there has been a growing recognition of the significant role played by environmental factors in the pathogenesis of chronic diseases. Aims: This a systematic review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current literature on the role of environmental factors in the development of chronic diseases. Methods: A thorough search of electronic databases was conducted, and relevant studies published between 2015 and 2023 were included in the review. The included articles covered a wide range of chronic diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, respiratory disorders, metabolic conditions, and cancer. Various environmental factors were examined, such as air pollution, water contamination, occupational hazards, chemical exposures, and lifestyle-related factors. Result: The findings of this systematic review highlight the substantial impact of environmental factors on chronic disease development. Air pollution emerged as a prominent risk factor, with studies demonstrating its association with increased incidence of cardiovascular diseases and respiratory disorders. Additionally, exposure to environmental contaminants, such as heavy metals and pesticides, was implicated in the development of metabolic conditions and cancer. Conclusion: This review emphasizes the importance of considering environmental factors in chronic disease etiology, advocating for targeted interventions to mitigate risks, and promoting healthier environments. Future research should explore underlying mechanisms and evaluate preventive strategies' effectiveness.
