Intravenous extravasation is a significant problem and one of the most commonly seen morbidity in infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. Nurses play a key role in preventing extravasation injuries. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of a training program about extravasation injuries on knowledge and practice of neonatal nurses. One-group pre-posttest quasi-experimental design was used. A convenient sample of 45 nurses was recruited from two different NICUs at Kafrelsheikh General Hospital Governorate and Health Insurance Hospital (El Ebour Hospital) at Kafrelsheikh city. Tools: Structured questionnaire interview and observational checklist were used. Results revealed that minority of nurses had satisfactory level of knowledge and performance in pre-program compared to all nurses in post- program. A significant differences for nurses total mean knowledge and performance scores between pre and posttest (P =0.00) was evident. In conclusion, knowledge and performance of nurses were significantly increased after receiving the training program suggesting its effectiveness. The study recommended that nurses who working in NICUs especially newly hired should be equipped with updated information about extravasation injuries through continuous educational programs. As well, an emphasis should be done regarding their practices and periodic checkup for their knowledge. Keywords: Preterm, NICU, Extravasation injuries, Nurses’ performance, Training program

Abstract Objectives Pressure ulcer (PU) is one of the most common problem among the bedridden elderly and has significantly more burden on elderly and caregivers. This study is aimed to evaluate the effects of the training program for caregivers to prevent PUs among elderly residents at geriatric homes. Methods A quasi-experimental design was used to carry out the current study. A purposive sample comprised of all formal (39 nurses) or informal caregivers (39) and all immobilized elderly residents (35) who are found in all geriatric centers in Helwan district. A structured questionnaire was used to assess caregivers’ socio-demographic characteristics, knowledge, attitude, and observational checklists for their practice for prevention of PU at pre- and posttest and during follow-up. Results After the training program, there were improvements in the level of knowledge, practice, and positive attitude of caregivers about PU prevention with a statistically significant difference between pre-, post-, and follow-up training programs (P < 0.001). Conclusions The study revealed that the training program seemed to change the knowledge, practice, and attitude of the subjects to PU prevention. This, in turn, implies that adequate knowledge affects directly the elderly caregivers’ attitudes as well as practice for prevention could be important in reducing the burden of PU among the elderly. Thus, conducting a training program for caregivers at different geriatric homes about caring skills for elders can prevent PU, and using spontaneous reposition is very effective to prevent PUs.

Abstract Background Admission of preterm infants in the neonatal intensive care unit limits the mother’s interaction with their infants, delaying accepting and playing the motherhood role. Besides, mothers of preterm infants have low self-esteem due to their infants' condition. Accordingly, the present study explored the effect of implementing the training program on maternal role adaptation and self-esteem of mothers of preterm infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. Methods This study employed a quasi-experimental design with two groups. The participants were 80 mothers of preterm infants. The participants were selected using convenience sampling and simply randomly assigned to the intervention and control groups. The instruments included a demographic information questionnaire, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and the Maternal Role Adaptation Scale. The participants in the intervention group attended the training program, while the control group did not receive any intervention. The questionnaires were completed by the two groups before and 2 weeks after the intervention. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS software version 21, a significance level of 0.05. Results The maternal role adaptation scores before the intervention in the control and intervention groups were 134.222 ± 11.84 and 138.800 ± 12.42, respectively, showing no statistically significant difference (P = 0.096). The corresponding scores after the intervention for the control and intervention groups were 139.17 ± 12.46 and 154.05 ± 8.57, showing a significant intergroup difference (P < 0.001). Similarly, the pre-intervention self-esteem scores in the control and intervention groups were 30.30 ± 3.79 and 30.95 ± 8.61, showing no statistically significant difference between the two groups (P = 0.664). Besides, the post-intervention self-esteem scores in the control and intervention groups were 31.52 ± 3.42 and 36.001 ± 7.74, respectively, indicating a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.001). Conclusion Given the insight from this study, implementing training programs is a suitable solution for improving maternal role adaptation and increasing mothers' self-esteem. Furthermore, nurses’ training packages can help the mother accept the maternal role more quickly and improve the mother's self-esteem for better care of the baby. Trial registration The registration number for this study was obtained from Kerman University of Medical Sciences, and the number of the grant was 98000150.

The present study was conducted in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of selected hospital, Delhi, with the objectives of investigating the incidence of medication errors in the NICU, to explore the types of medication errors occurring frequently, to develop and evaluate the training program on safe administration of pediatric drugs in terms of knowledge and skills for the nurses working in the neonatal unit. Methodology: Research approach selected for the study was quantitative approach with pre-experimental one group pre-test, post-test design. 50 prescriptions and 138 drugs were selected for investigating the medication errors and total enumeration sampling technique was used for selecting the staff nurses for evaluating the knowledge and practice of 30 staff nurses. Tools developed and used for data collection were structured knowledge questionnaire and observation check list to assess the knowledge and practice of staff nurses on safe administration of pediatric drugs respectively. Result: Medication errors were present in 127 (92.02%) drugs prescribed by the pediatrician. Medication error rate was highest during drug administration process that is 117 (94.90%) followed by the documentation error of 110 (79.7%) whereas transcription errors accounted for 69 (50%) in overall process of the medication. The prescription errors were noted in 56 (40.50%) of drug prescriptions. The mean post- test knowledge and practice scores of the staff nurses on safe administration of drugs were statistically higher at 0.05 level of significance than the corresponding mean pre-test knowledge and practice scores.
