Nurse is a key person in the effort of health promotion, screening, and early detection. As well as care through the illness continuum. Aims: This study aims to determine the risk factors of ovarian cancer among two Egyptian cohorts, and to determine the possible protective factors of ovarian cancer among two Egyptian cohorts. Methods: A descriptive exploratory (Case/control) prospective research design used to achieve the study aim. The study conducted in two clinical settings those are National Cancer Institute (for cases), and El-Minia General Hospital (for controls). The study recruited 80 cases with a confirmed diagnosis of ovarian cancer, and 456 healthy controls without ovarian cancer. A structured interview questionnaire used to collect data regarding the presence of possible risk and protective factors. Results: The results of the present study revealed a...

Cardiovascular nurses contribute significantly to health outcomes and frequently assume responsibility for the clinical and organizational processes to ensure positive outcomes for patients and families Aims: The aims of this study were to identify nursing-sensitive outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction, to develop a tool to measure nursing-sensitive outcomes of caring patients with myocardial infarction, and to evaluate the content, face validity, reliability and nursing sensitivity of 46 nursing sensitive-outcomes concerning bio-psycho-socio- educational aspects of care for patients with myocardial infarction from the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC). Methods: A survey research design was used in this study to assess the content and face validity of th...

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of self-care management guidelines on nursing-sensitive patients' outcomes after permanent pacemaker implantation. Methods: A quasi-experimental design was utilized in this study. A purposive sample of 50 patients admitted to the cardiac catheterization unit at Ain Shams University Hospital after permanent pacemaker implantation during their follow up visit. They are divided into two matched group study and control groups. Their mean age ±SD was 45.37±5.76, and 48.75±4.27 successively. Patient socio-demographic characteristic and medical data sheet, self-care management level assessment scale, and nursing-sensitive outcomes measuring scale were utilized to achieve the study aim. Results: The study results revealed positive outcomes for patients of the study group compared to the controls and their pre-implementa...

Aim: Explore the relationship between self-compassion, self-esteem, and suicidal ideation among a cohort of university students. Methods: Cross-sectional research design was used. This study was conducted at Al Delta University for Science and Technology-College of Engineering and Oral and Dental Medicine, Dhakahlia Governorate, Egypt. A convenient sample of 249 undergraduate university students was recruited. Self-Administered Questionnaire, Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), The Self-Compassion Scale-Short Form (SCS-SF), and The Suicidal Behavior Questionnaire-Revised (SBQ-R). Results: 14% of the studied sample reported that they frequently have suicidal thoughts, while 28.12% reported that they sometimes have a suicidal attempt. Suicidal behavior was inversely and highly significantly correlated with self-esteem (P-value < 0.03), and also self-compassion was inversely and significantly related to suicidal behavior (P-value < 0.02). In contrast, self-compassion and self-esteem were positively and highly significantly correlated (P-value <0.001). Additionally, the higher mean score for having self-esteem and self-compassion was among students who had a sleep regularly (18.38±9.94 and13.8±3.10 respectively), and the students who are doing physical activities had the highest mean score (26.88±7.06 and 21.24±11.1 respectively) with statistically significant difference (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Less than half of the students had sometimes and frequently at other times thinking of suicide. Self-esteem and self-compassion were significantly correlated, and suicidal behavior was significantly affected by students' self-esteem and self-compassion. The supportive resources through academic guidance and psychological counseling units that are staffed and supervised by psychologists, activating student extracurricular activities and sports clubs, will help enhance self-esteem and self-compassion and consequently minimize suicidal behaviors.
