Intra-partum professional midwifery support can help women cope better with their labor pain and fears as well as raise their childbirth satisfaction. Aim: Investigate the effect of intermittent maternal supportive care on pain intensity and childbirth outcomes. Method: A quasi-experimental research design was used. A purposive sample of 88 laboring women was enrolled. The current study was carried out at the Labor Unit of Mansoura University Hospital (MUH). Five tools were used for data collection: A Structured Interviewing Schedule, the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), the Childbirth Attitudes Questionnaire (CAQ), the Neonatal Assessment Sheet, and the Mackey Childbirth Satisfaction Rating Scale. Results: Among the intervention group, the severe labor pain and the high childbirth fear levels were significantly reduced post intervention in comparison of the control group. Among the intervention group, three-quarters and the majority of the newborns had normal Apgar scores at the first minute and initiated breastfeeding within the first hour after birth respectively compared to the control group. The childbirth satisfaction level among the intervention group was statistically significantly higher compared to the control group. Conclusion: Intermittent maternal supportive care during labor effectively improves outcomes for laboring women and their newborn infants. Recommendations: Intermittent maternal supportive care should be implemented routinely in all maternity hospitals to improve childbirth outcomes.

Aim of the study: To evaluate the effectiveness of the bidirectional multimodal intervention program on nocturnal enuresis reduction among school age children in Mansoura City, Egypt. Settings: The study was carried out in the Involuntary Urination Outpatient Clinic at Mansoura University Children Hospital (MUCH) and the Enuresis Clinic at Shams Center of Pediatrics and Newborns. A purposive sample of 126 parents and their children suffering from NE. Tools of data collection: A Structured Interview Questionnaire form for the Studied Parents and a Structured Interview Questionnaire form for the Studied Children were used. Results: 4.8% versus 100% and 94.4% of the studied parents had good total knowledge scores as well as none versus 100% and 95.2% of them had satisfactory total reported practices scores about NE pre, immediate post and post 3 months of program implementation respectively. Moreover, 93.7% of the studied children had bedwetting more than once a week pre-program; while, post 3 months after program implementation, 55.6% of them had bedwetting once a week. Conclusion: Parents' level of knowledge and their reported practices about NE was significantly improved post program. Bedwetting frequency among the studied children was decreased post 3 months after program implementation. Recommendations: Continuous educational program for parents of children with NE is essential to update their knowledge and skills about advanced treatment strategies.

Repeated and untreated pain have both short-and long-term sequelae. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of auditory versus olfactory stimulation interventions on preterm infants' pain response during venipuncture. Method: A quasi-experimental comparative research design was utilized. A purposive sample of 90 preterm infants was elected from the NICU at Mansoura University Children Hospital. Preterm infants were divided equally into three groups: auditory, olfactory and control groups. A Preterm Infant Assessment Tool, Premature Infant Pain Profile (PIPP), and Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS) were used for data collection. Results: There was a statistical significant difference between the control, music, and lavender groups concerning their PIPP total mean scores before and after venipuncture and their NIPS total mean scores during venipuncture (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Preterm infants in the music and lavender groups had a considerable reduction in their pain response compared to the control group during venipuncture. Recommendations: Auditory and olfactory stimulation interventions are recommended as simple, safe and low-cost non-pharmacological methods that facilitate positive effects for preterm infants during painful procedures at NICUs.
