Background: Traumatic Head Injury (THI) is a disruption in the normal function of the brain that caused by a blow or jolt to the head. The role of critical care nurses is a vital at the acute care by giving priority of the immediate assessment, stabilization of the airway and circulation and prevention of secondary injury. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of an educational program on the nurses' performance and health outcomes for patients with traumatic head injury. Study design: A quasi-experimental design was used. Settings: This study was conducted in the emergency unit and the emergency intensive care unit at Banha University Hospital. Subject: A convenient sample of (50) registered nurses caring for patients with THI and (50) patients with THI were included in the study. Tools: Three tools were used for data collection; I-self-administered questionnaire tool, II-the nurses' practice observational checklist and III-patients' health outcomes assessment. Results: All of the nurses had unsatisfactory knowledge and practice regarding caring for patients with THI pre-program implementation which improved immediately post program implementation (30% and 24%), respectively. The mean of the studied patients regarding total trauma scale pre-program implementation was 16.89  10.61 that improved immediately post program implementation 13.24  12.08. Conclusion: There was a highly statistical significant improvement in the level of nurses' performance and health outcomes for patients with THI after implementation of the educational program. Recommendations: The importance of continuous in-service training programs about THI for refreshing and updating the nurses' knowledge and practice regarding THI.

Background: Mobile device is a valuable form of technology that can be used with video clips in nursing education to promote nursing students' learning motivation and confidence in learning a clinical nursing skill. Aim of study: Was to evaluate the effect of mobile-based video learning on clinical nursing students learning outcomes. Research design: Quasi experimental design was conducted to achieve the aim of this study. Setting: The present study was conducted at Medical Surgical Nursing department skill lab -Faculty of Nursing-Benha University. Subject: A purposive sample of 150 of the second year nursing students at the academic year 2020-2021, Faculty of nursing, Benha University. Tools of data collection: (1) Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ) Part I: Students' Demographic Characteristics. Part II: Students' Class Satisfaction Measuring questionnaire. Part III: Instructional Materials Motivation Survey (IMMS). ( 2) Nursing Students' competency skills observational checklist. Results: There was a significant improvement of students' motivation, satisfaction and their competency skills concerning initiating IV access and administrating IV infusion procedures among the study group subjects on 2 nd and 4 th week at follow up of implementing mobile based video learning program compared with control group subjects on the traditional method of learning with a high statistical significant difference P= 0.000, there were a positive correlation post implementing mobile based video learning between students' satisfaction, motivation and their skill competency. Conclusion: There was a positive effect of implementing mobile based video learning on students' satisfaction, motivation and their skill competency among the study group. Recommendations: Provide adequate training programs to students on using mobile application in education. Provision of mobile courses wherever possible in nursing education.

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is an irreversible degenerative joint condition that causes pain and disability for around 10% of total population. Therapeutic exercise is the first line of treatment that can reduce pain, enhance physical function, improve quality of life as well as save time and cost. Aim of study: Was to evaluate the effect of implementing exercise program on pain and physical functions among patients with moderate knee osteoarthritis. Design: A quasiexperimental design was utilized. Setting: The study was conducted at the outpatient clinic of the

Background: Medication safety is the third recent global patient safety challenge by WHO.

Background: Post thoracic surgery patients are often related to the high incidence of lifethreatening pulmonary complications that can be avoided by a variety of pulmonary care techniques. Aim: Was to evaluate the effect of evidence-based nursing program on post thoracic surgery patients' health outcomes regarding pulmonary care. Study design: A quasi-experimental, pre-test and post-test intervention study design was implemented to achieve the aim of the current study. Setting: The study was conducted in chest department and cardiothoracic surgery intensive care unit at Benha University Hospital affiliated to Qalyubia Governorate, Egypt. Subjects: A purposive sample of sixty patients with chest diseases planned for thoracic surgeries selected from the previously mentioned settings over a period of nine months of data collection. Tools: Data were collected using three tools, (I) Patient's interview schedule questionnaire, (II) Pulmonary care technique observational checklist pre/post pulmonary care intervention, (III) Patients' health outcomes assessment. Results: Total knowledge level and total practice level mean scores post evidence-based nursing program implementation were higher statistically significant than preprogram. There was highly significant difference between pre and post program implementation concerning patients' health outcomes including all pulmonary function test variables, respiratory rate, heart rate, systolic blood pressure, as well as PH, PaO2 and SO2. Conclusion: Patients' knowledge and practice had been significantly improved post program implementation which reflects that early post-operative pulmonary care following thoracic surgeries was effective in reducing the risk of post-operative pulmonary complications and had a positive impact on patients' health outcomes with high statistically significance differences as (p=<0.05). Recommendations: Upgrading cardiothoracic nurses' knowledge and practice regarding to chest physiotherapy through continuous attending in-service training programs and workshops to improve the standard of nursing care given to post thoracic surgery patients.
