Background: The assessment of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and resilience are important aspects of colorectal cancer care, as well as an indicator of patients' health status. This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between resilience and HRQoL among patients with a permanent colostomy. Method: A cross-sectional descriptive correlational design employing the City of Hope Quality of Life Ostomy Questionnaire and the Resilience Scale was adopted. A purposive sample population was recruited. Results: The study enrolled 158 colostomy patients. Half the participants (50.6%) were female and the mean age was 58.20 years [standard deviation (SD)=8.70]. Colostomy patients had a mean HRQoL score of 129.61 (SD)=98 (interquartile range: 109–148), with a spiritual domain that was lower than any other HRQoL domain. The Resilience Scale mean score was 106 (interquartile range: 82–126). Conclusion: This study observed a general low score on the HRQoL Questionnaire and this was reflected in the Resilience Scale score of this group of patients with a colostomy.

Background: There is a vast growth of Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications across all aspects of healthcare. Nursing practice is critical where AI technology will enhance practice and patient outcomes.The aimof this study was to evaluate the effect of educational program on nurses' knowledge and attitudes regarding artificial intelligence.Design:A quasi-experimental design was used in this study. Setting: This study was conducted atMansoura University Hospitals at medical and surgical departments. Sample: A simple random sample included (203) nurseswere selected from the previously mentioned settings. Tools: Two tools were used to collect the necessary data for achieving the study objective: A self-administered Artificial Intelligence Knowledge Questionnaire and A General Attitudes towards Artificial Intelligence Questionnaire.Results: The primary source of information for nurses' knowledge about artificial intelligence was from Internet (73.9%).The total level of knowledge was satisfactory among 16.3% of studied nurses at pre intervention period, while it was 82.8% at immediately post intervention, and decreased to 68% at follow-up. Additionally, the total positive nurses' attitudesmean score improved from 53.35 ±21.07 at preinterventionto 77.19±18.64 at immediately post and decreased to 67.95±23.62 at follow-up with statistically significant differences. Moreover, highly statistically significant differences between the demographic characteristics (marital status, and educational qualifications) and total knowledge level post intervention (P<0.001). Conclusion: This study revealed that the educational intervention had highly statistically significant positive effect on the studied nurses' knowledge, and attitudes regarding artificial intelligence. Therefore, it is recommended toencourage nurses to increase their knowledge and attitudes toward artificial intelligence through workshops and training programs, and providing further education and training are required to enable them integrate AI into nursing practices.

Background: Lymphedema brought on by breast cancer has a significant impact on people's physical, social, and psychological wellness. Self-care can only be helpful if it is practiced, and women who deal with BCRL on a daily basis need support in the form of follow-up treatment.Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of an educational programme on self-care practice and reported symptoms among women with BCRL by using a quasi-experimental (one group) pre-post design with repeated measurements. Methods: This study was carried out at the outpatient lymphedema clinic of a big metropolitan tertiary hospital in the northern Suez Canal Region using a quasi-experimental design without a control group. A total of 81 patients with BCRL participated in the study and received an education program in the form of face-to-face sessions and an information booklet at the beginning of the study. Patients were evaluated for upper extremity circumference and reported symptom severity and self-care adherence, and they were followed for 6 months. Arm circumference, symptom severity, and level of self-care adherence. Results: Arm circumference measurement was decreased significantly with (P 0.060) along with the symptoms that associated with lymphedema (M (31.04) SD (2.26) with P<0.001). Additionally, a significant improvement in patient self-care adherence was noticed (M (91.90) SD (2.61) with P<0.001 compared to the baseline values) during the pre-assessment face. Significance of results:The findings of the current study proved that the educational programme intervention enhanced selfcare behaviour and decreased lymphedema-related symptoms.
