Context: Infertility is defined as not being able to conceive after one year of unprotected sex. In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a process of fertilization where an ovum is combined with sperm outside the body, in vitro. In vitro fertilization (IVF) is psychologically and emotionally stressful. Coping strategies are needed to master, tolerate, reduce, or minimize stressful events. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of nursing guidelines on coping of infertile couples' undergoing In Vitro Fertilization. Methods: A quasi-experimental research design was utilized to achieve the aim of this study. This study conducted at the assisted reproductive technology unit of Ain shams Maternity University Hospital on a convenient sample of 98 couples undergoing fertility treatments. Two tools were used for data collection; the first tool was a structured interviewing questionnaire to assess the couple's socio-demographic data, obstetric history, the couple's knowledge regarding in vitro fertilization. The second tool was ways of coping scale (WQS) to assess coping strategies among the infertile couple. Results: There is no statistically significant difference between couples in both groups according to their knowledge and their coping strategies to IVF before the implementation of nursing guidelines (p> 0.05). In contrast, there is a highly statistically significant improvement in knowledge and coping strategies of couples on the study group compared to control group couples after implementation of nursing guidelines(p<0.001). Conclusion: The finding of the current study supported the hypothesis, which stated that the infertile couples who will expose to the nursing guidelines, will exhibit improved coping strategies to IVF compared to the controls. The study recommended the application of nursing guidelines at the IVF unit of Ain Shams Maternity University Hospital and other settings for IVF treatment as routine care to improve infertile couples' coping strategies.

The Thoratec ventricular assist device (VAD) offers a final hope for survival in patients with severe cardiogenic shock unresponsive to conventional therapy. In select patients, these pneumatically activated prosthetic ventricles maintain organ perfusion pending recovery of the native heart or cardiac transplant. A detailed review of Thoratec VAD operation, its impact on the circulatory pathway and hemodynamic monitoring, and troubleshooting guidelines specific to these patients are presented. A nursing diagnosis framework assists with the identification and management of problems such as impaired cardiac output and gas exchange, as well as altered mobility, nutrition, and coping. Current information regarding the etiology and management of complications such as bleeding, infection, and end-organ failure are reviewed. A case study presentation offers guidelines for weaning patients from the VAD and includes a comprehensive nursing care plan for these challenging patients

Objective: To investigate the application of predictive nursing guidelines in orthopedic care based on medical imaging and health statistics. Methods: 140 patients were divided into two groups: observation and control. The patients in the control group received routine nursing. The patients in the observation group received the guidance of predictive nursing on the basis of routine nursing. The nursing effects of the two groups were observed. Results: After the implementation of nursing interventions, the complication rate was 4.3% in the observation group and 20.0% in the control group. The difference between the groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The satisfaction rate was 97.1%, and the nursing satisfaction of the control group was 90.0%. The difference between the groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Discussion: Through observation of patient satisfaction and treatment, especially in orthopedics, patients are differentiated according to different diseases, and predictive care can effectively prevent complications. Conclusion: Predictive care provides preventive measures by comprehensively understanding and comprehensively assessing the patient's condition and developing care measures in a timely and effective manner.
