Background and aim: The internet is a worldwide area network that connects computer system throughout the world providing a variety of information and communication. Internet addiction is defined as any online-related, compulsive behavior which interferes with normal living and causes severe stress on family, friends, loved ones, and one's work environment. Aim: This study assessed the internet usage and its addiction level among university students in a selected university in Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirate. University students are highly predisposed to internet addiction which can affect their personal, family, educational, interactive and societal life. Study design: A cross-sectional design .The sample of the study consisted of 110 nursing students who were selected using convenient sample. Internet addiction test, internet usage questionnaire and student attitude scale were used as data collection instruments.Results: The findings showed that more than half (50.9%) of students were aged 21-<25 years, with more than two- fifth (45.5% of them being average online internet user. Less than two-third (62.7%) of students had favorable attitude towards internet usage. There is a positive correlation between internet addiction score and age of the study group with no statistically significant differenceConclusions: the study concluded that nursing students are average internet users, they have favorable attitude to internet use, with positive correlation between internet addiction score and age, though experiencing occasional problems. The use of social networking sites, especially by the young people, should be done sparingly so as not to provoke extreme behaviors and negative impact to their education performance and social life that can lead to destruction of the life of youths globally as revealed in this study Internet addiction is a serious problem among university students generally which indicates the need for more public attention and resources to develop effective prevention/intervention strategies.
背景和目的:因特网是一个世界性的区域网络，它连接着世界各地的计算机系统，提供各种各样的信息和通信。网瘾被定义为任何与网络有关的强迫性行为，它干扰了正常的生活，给家人、朋友、爱人和工作环境带来了严重的压力。目的:本研究评估了阿拉伯联合酋长国Ras Al Khaimah一所大学大学生的互联网使用情况及其成瘾程度。大学生极易染上网瘾，这会影响他们的个人、家庭、教育、互动和社会生活。研究设计:采用横断面设计，研究样本为110名护理专业学生，采用方便抽样法。使用网络成瘾测试、网络使用问卷和学生态度量表作为数据收集工具。结果:调查结果显示，超过一半(50.9%)的学生年龄在21岁至25岁以下，其中超过五分之二(45.5%)的学生是普通网民。不到三分之二(62.7%)的学生对互联网的使用持积极态度。研究组网络成瘾得分与年龄呈显著正相关，差异无统计学意义。结论:护生为一般网民，对网络使用持良好态度，网络成瘾得分与年龄呈显著正相关，但偶尔会出现问题。使用社交网站，尤其是年轻人，应该谨慎，以免引发极端行为，对他们的学习成绩和社会生活产生负面影响，从而导致全球青少年生活的破坏。这项研究表明，网络成瘾是大学生普遍存在的一个严重问题，这表明需要更多的公众关注和资源来制定有效的预防/干预策略。

Background and aim: Improving the eating habits of children is essential to reduce the future burden of non-communicable illnesses. Nutritional diseases affect higher than 30% of school age children. This study aimed to assess the dietary habits and nutritional knowledge among primary school age children in Fayoum Governorate, Egypt.Study design: A cross-sectional descriptive design was utilized. Setting: The study was implemented in three governmental mixed primary schools in EL-Fayoum city; Egypt, that were selected randomly. Sample: Cluster random sample techniques used for selecting of the study group consisted of 300 students aged from 10-12 years for both sexes attending grade five and six. Tools: three tools of data collection consisted of: 1- self-administered questionnaire comprised socio-demographic data of the students and parents, and students’ knowledge about nutrition, 2- the students’ dietary habits as consumption of the breakfast, drinking water, 3- Health assessment sheet to assess the students’ nutritional status including weight, height, BMI, and appearance.The study findings revealed that 69.3% of the study group were underweight, 36.3% were stunted, and 6.7%, 3.3% were overweight and obese respectively. About 45% had fair knowledge while 34% had good knowledge about the nutrition. More than half of the students had unhealthy dietary behavior and appearance. There was a statistically significant difference (P: 0<0.00) between the academic performance of the school children and their HAZ while there was no statistically significant difference between the academic performance of the students and their WAZ (P: 0.264).Conclusions: underweight is highly prevalent among the primary school students followed by stunting. Most of the students had unhealthy dietary habits and unhealthy appearance while around half of them had fair knowledge about nutrition. The current study recommended developing a nutritional health program for primary school children about the proper nutrition.

Background: Identified on an acute care behavioral health unit has been a gap in nursing education and knowledge about opioid addiction and pain management. Nurses are often frustrated that there seems to be no clear way to manage acute pain in individuals suffering with opioid addiction. Because of difficult behavior sometimes displayed in those with opioid addiction, nurses may be prone to attitudes that reflect bias on their part when administering care. The psychiatric nurses need to learn about the disease model of addiction so its premise can be shared with the opioid addicted patients and their families. Purpose: The purpose of this proposal is to create a plan to teach the Behavioral Health nurses about opioid addiction and management of acute pain to help those afflicted with opioid addiction. Plan: The plan for addressing the gap includes education about opioid addiction, the barriers presented by stigma and bias, and the use of opioid replacement therapy to manage acute pain in those with opioid addiction. Patient education will focus on addiction as a disease and the impact of stigma on those with the disease. Implementation: Implementation of the project will include the development of two classes about management of acute pain in opioid addicted patients emphasizing education of the nurse and patient as the prime solution to this dilemma. The classes will stress the need to model conversations with psychiatric physicians to develop strategies to manage acute pain in patients with opioid addiction. Conclusion: Opioid replacement therapy seems to be the only answer for individuals in need of rehabilitation to end their burden of addiction. It should be accessible to any person with addiction to opioids in every healthcare setting.

Background: Recommendations to prevent pressure injuries (PI) consistently emphasize patients’ participation in care, without which interventions are less likely to be effective. Aim: To examine patients and/or their caregivers’ knowledge of risk factors and participation in PI preventive interventions.Subjects and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted among 70 patients in neurological and orthopaedic wards in the University College Hospital in Nigeria. The patients were purposively selected. Knowledge about risk factors for PI, level of participation in care and perceived barriers were examined using structured questionnaire.Findings: Mean age was age 49± 18years; 37(66.1%) did not consider they were at risk for PI. Poor knowledge of risk factors: incontinence (59.3%), dragging self out of bed (56.5%), loss of sensation (58.3), when the nurse drags than lifts (66.7%) was found. Mean knowledge of risk factors was 1.42±0.49 and level of participation (1.31± 0.47). Barriers to participation included inadequate instruction from nurses about what they or their caregivers needed to do (2.41±1.16); pain during repositioning (3.58±1.16); feeling incompetent to turn (3.10±1.27; caregivers not allowed to stay on the ward (3.47±1.12). Only education was significantly associated with level of participation (P= 0.002< 0.05). However, no significant association existed between the medical diagnosis of the patients and their level of participation (P = 0.347 >0.05). Conclusion: Patients’ knowledge of risk factors was poor and participation was also low. Well defined instructions should be provided during hospitalization to improve patient’s participation in care.

Functional food is food that is naturally or through a process that is beneficial to health. One functional food is a green bean juice packaging beverage that can reduce blood glucose levels. High fiber content, low glycemic index and flavonoids, and polyphenols in green beans (Phaseolus radiatus L) can reduce glucose levels in the blood. This study used experimental animals 7 tails. All experimental animals were given packaged mung bean juice 2 times a day for 9 days by means of a round. The mean results of an examination of blood glucose levels in white rat experimental animals before giving packaged green bean juice drinks was 85 mg dl, while the average results of an examination of blood glucose levels in experimental rats after administration of packaged green bean juice were 75 mg/dl. The results of the Paired T-test statistical test obtained p = 0,000 <α = 0.05. Packaged green bean juice can reduce blood glucose levels in animals testing white rats.

Aim: This quasi-experimental study was conducted to evaluate the effect of an educational program of mothers` knowledge and practice about umbilical cord care; compare cord-cleansing using human milk versus alcohol 70% and povidine-iodine 10% on clinical outcomes of umbilical cord in healthy newborn. Subjects: Α total of 150 mothers who had just delivered with their newborn infants at the postnatal units at El-Fayoum University Hospital, Egypt, were recruited for this study. Tool: data was collected through а structured interview questionnaire; newborn follow-up sheet and an observation checklist. Results indicated that, before the intervention of the educational program, lake of satisfactory knowledge and practice among mothers in all groups related to cord care. The total mean scores for the immediate post/follow up tests of intervention educational program were statistically significantly higher (р<0. 001), compared to their pre-intervention of the educational program scores. Concerning newborn follow-up, there were highly statistically significant differences in umbilical cord base separation time, the sign of cord infection, bleeding continuation in mother milk group as compared with alcohol 70% and povidine-iodine 10% group. Conclusion: Educational program had а positive effect on mothers' knowledge and competency of their practice regarding umbilical cord cleansing. Topical application of mother milk on umbilical cord care leads to rapid cord separation time; diminish the umbilical cord infection as it can be used as an easy, cheap and non-invasive way for cord care. Recommendation: educational programs intervention regarding neonatal care is required during the period of antenatal visit. Researches to study the effect of newborn cord care practices on the incidence of newborn morbidity/mortality are required.

Background: After reviewing the literature on flu vaccinations and childhood immunizations, it was concluded that participation in these preventative measures is beneficial to health in increasing the chances of protection from specific diseases. Further studies show that not all college students receive them or plan to have their prospective children vaccinated. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine college students’ perception of influenza vaccination and childhood immunizations. Method: This was a quantitative, non-experimental study with a descriptive design using two open-ended questions to enhance data collection. A total of 120 college students were recruited to participate in this study. The research questions were: “What are college students’ perceptions of influenza vaccination?” and “What are college students’ perceptions of childhood immunizations?” The health belief model was used to guide the study. Results/Conclusion: Survey results showed that many students in a Christian college believe immunization is effective and plan to immunize their future children. However, a few students stated a desire to learn more about immunization.
