Introduction: Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura is an autoimmune blood disorder associated with decrease platelets level less than normal, which may result in bleeding occurrence. The actual cause is unknown. It may be progressive if untreated, but may remit spontaneously for several years. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of health educational program on nurses’ performance for children with Idiopathic-Thrombocytopenic-Purpura. Methods: The study was Quasi- experimental research design used for 50 nurses working at Pediatric Hematology Unit of Tanta University Hospital and Pediatric Hematology Unit of Al- Mabra Tanta Hospital. Two Tools were used to collect required data: structured interview schedule to collect biosocial data of nurses and observational check list regarding nursing practice. Results: The present study-represented that, three quarter of nurses had poor-knowledge and all of them had unsatisfactory level of practice before the-educational-program-implementation. While immediately and after one month from the implementation of the program the total-scores-of-nurses' knowledge and practice improved. Conclusion: There was a-significant improvement in nursing knowledge and practice in relation to nursing care for children with Idiopathic-Thrombocytopenic-Purpura. Recommendations: In-service-training program should be conducted periodically for nurses' teaching the basic knowledge and clinical skills.

Objective: The placenta is derived from both maternal and fetal tissue with approximately one fifth derived from fetal tissue at term. The placenta should be examined, as it reflects disease in the mother and the fetus. Aim: The aim is to implement a protocol for improving nursing performance towards placental examination at labor units.Methods: Design: A quasi-experimental design was adopted. Setting: The current study was conducted at the labor unit at Ain Shams maternity hospital and Beni-Suef University hospital. Sample: 42 nurses who were affiliated to labor units (21 nurses of Ain Shams maternity hospital group and 21 nurses of Beni-Suef University hospital group). Tools: Two tools were used for data collection; structured interview questionnaire and an observation checklist.Results: There was no significant difference between both groups in general characteristics. The majority of the studied nurses from Ain Shams and Beni-Suef hospital, respectively, did not attend any training related to placental examination before conducting the study. Meanwhile, there was a significant improvement in nurses’ performance towards placental examination after implementing the program.Conclusions: The placental examination program was effective in improving the nurse’s performance at labor units.Recommendation: Policymakers should formulate a national plan of continuing education to help nurses already in the labor force to retain and update their knowledge and clinical skills especially in such topic placental examination and encourage nurses to participate in programs in order to maintain a high level of health care in maternity hospitals.

Context: Systemic chemotherapy plays a pivotal role in curative therapy for patients with hematological neoplasms and several types of advanced solid tumors. Extravasation describes an anticancer agent's accidental leakage from a vessel into the surrounding tissues, leading to irreversible local injuries and severe disability. Despite its considerable clinical importance, evidence-based information on extravasation in chemotherapy is lacking. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of an educational program on nurses' performance regarding the prevention and management of intravenous extravasation chemotherapy. Methods: The following hypotheses were formulated to achieve the study aim. H1: Nurses' performance related to the prevention and management of intravenous extravasation chemotherapy will be improved after implementing the educational program compared to the pre-program. H2: There will be a significant correlation between nurses’ knowledge and practice post-program implementation. A quasi-experimental research design was utilized to conduct the current study in the oncology unit at Benha University Hospital. A convenience sample consisted of all available nurses (n=40) working in the oncology unit were recruited to achieve the aim of this study. Two tools were used, the nurses' knowledge assessment questionnaire and the nurses' practice observational checklist regarding the prevention and management of intravenous extravasation chemotherapy. Results: This study shows that most nurses had an unsatisfactory level of total knowledge and inadequate total practice regarding the prevention and management of intravenous extravasation chemotherapy pre-program implementation (85% and 56%). This result improved significantly regarding all knowledge and practice elements immediately post-program implementation, where the majority of the nurses had a satisfactory level of their total knowledge and adequate total practice (95% and 94%) that was slightly decreased three months after program implementation (75%) for both knowledge and practice. Conclusion: The majority of the nurses surveyed had an unsatisfactory performance level (knowledge and practice) concerning the prevention and management of intravenous extravasation chemotherapy pre-program implementation. In contrast, most of the studied nurses had statistically significant improvement in their performance immediately and after three months from program implementation, which supported the current study hypotheses. The study recommended continuous in-service training programs and establishing guidelines to help the oncology nurses revise, acquire, and develop their knowledge and practice regarding preventing and managing intravenous extravasation chemotherapy.

Context: Simulation-based nursing education is an increasingly and wide-spread preferred educational approach. It offers opportunities to acquire clinical skills and decision-making through various situational experiences. Aim: The research aimed to investigate the effect of simulation-based educational program on maternity nurses' performance regarding obstetrical emergencies during pregnancy. Methods: A quasi-experimental research (one group pre/post-test) design was adopted to fulfill the research aim. This research was conducted at the Clinical Obstetrics' Skill lab of the Faculty of Nursing, Benha University. Forty nurses were recruited (all nurses working at obstetrics and gynecology emergency department of Benha University Hospital at the time of collecting data). Three tools were used for data collection; a structured self-administered questionnaire, maternity nurses' attitude assessment scale, and maternity nurses' practices observational checklist. Results: showed a highly statistically significant improvement concerning maternity nurses' knowledge, attitude, and practices regarding obstetrical emergencies during pregnancy, immediate post-intervention, and at follow up phase compared to the pre-intervention phase (P ≤ 0.001). There was a positive, highly statistically significant correlation between total knowledge and total attitude and total practice scores at pre-intervention, immediate post-intervention, and at follow up phases (P ≤ 0.001).    Conclusion: The simulation-based educational program positively affected maternity nurses' performance regarding obstetrical emergencies during pregnancy. Simulation-based education regarding obstetrical emergencies during pregnancy is recommended for all nurses working at obstetrics and gynecology units.

Do So

A total of 322 physicians, Board-certified in pediatric hematology, responded to a survey designed to determine several aspects of their management of children with acute idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. The survey demonstrates that, in practice among specialists, a controversy exists as to whether or not bone marrow examination needs to be performed, and how often corticosteroids should be prescribed. Seventy-four percent of practitioners would perform the bone marrow examination, whereas 26% would not do so. Forty-six percent of responders prescribe steroids more than half the time, whereas 54% prescribe steroids less than half the time. The questionnaire ascertained the reasons why physicians performed marrow aspirations and prescribed steroids.
