Background: E-learning consists of the use for education purposes of the internet and related devices. Internet learning and teaching are a new experience especially after the coronavirus pandemic outbreak for most teachers and students. Aim: was to assess barriers and opportunities faced by nursing students during applying e-learning. Design: A descriptive correlational research design was utilized to conduct the aim of this study. Setting: This study was conducted in the Faculty of Nursing, Benha University, Egypt. Subjects: A stratified random sample technique was employed for the selection of 10 % from the students in each of the four academic years enrolled in Faculty of Nursing, Benha University during the academic year 2019/2020. Tools: Interviewing questionnaire including demographic characteristics and background on utilizing technology, opportunities and Barriers of e-learning questionnaires. Results: The majorities of the studied students were female and were living in rural area. Also There were a highly statistical significant difference between students live in rural areas and students live in urban areas regarding presence of internet facility at home and qualification in using computer and internet, more than half of students choose U tube application as the most effective tool for e-learning and preferred the use of mobile devices in e-learning activities. The majority of the nursing students had positive perception ranging from neutral to agree regarding e-learning opportunities items. Majority of nursing students of the three academic years from second to forth academic years had neutral agreement with the presence e-learning barriers While, the first year students had the highest level of agreement with the presence e-learning barriers. Recommendations: Enhance Internet speed and make Internet packages cheaper or even free. Provide e-learning tools and computer skills training for students. Enhance educational methods in order to motivate students to learn and entice them to enroll in online courses.

Background: Tracheal intubation constitutes the most commonly performed procedure in the intensive care units and is often lifesaving. In contrast to the high incidence of life-threatening complications that can be avoided by nursing care. Evidence based practice help critical care nurses to apply procedures safely for critically ill patients. Aim: To evaluate the effect of evidence based program on critical care nurses' performance related to care for intubated patients. Method: A quasiexperimental, pre-test and post-test intervention research design was implemented to conduct the current study. The study was conducted in the general intensive care unit at

Background: Skin breakdown includes non-blanchable erythema without underlying tissue loss, abrasion, and deep and extensive pressure ulcers. Hospitalization can cause skin breakdown due to medication, food, and mobility changes. Aim: To assess the effect of skincare bundle protocol on nursing performance regarding prevention of skin breakdown. Research Design: A quasi-experimental design was used. Setting: This study was conducted in

Background: Body positioning denotes to augmenting oxygen transport by influencing the effect of gravity on cardiopulmonary and cardiovascular function. Positioning should be a crucial part of respiratory care, changes in the body position of patients receiving mechanical ventilation in intensive care unit are frequent which is one of the nursing activities during care for such group of patients, also body position changes affect the peak transport of blood and oxygen. Aim: The study aimed to evaluate the effects of positioning changes on oxygenation parameters among mechanically ventilated patients. Design: A quasi-experimental design was applied in the current study. Sample: A purposive of 60 adult patients from both genders who were admitted during the study period on mechanical ventilation and newly admitted (less than 3 days from admission to the ICU) was selected. Setting: Data were collected from Chest ICU units affiliated to Ain Shams University Hospitals. Tools: Data was collected utilizing two designed tools (1) Patient data sheet which includes Socio demographic data for mechanically ventilated patients with lung diseases and health -relevant information (2) Oxygenation assessment scale to assess oxygenation level twice immediately and after two hours from each position which includes ABG and vital signs. The results: Mechanically ventilated Patients who have received change position have had oxygenation levels better than those patients who were on the routine position (fowler position). Conclusion: The implementation of positioning changes among the study group according to the results of basic assessment has been successful and got an effective significant improvement in oxygenation level for mechanically ventilated patients that had respiratory failure. Recommendations: Positioning changes of mechanically ventilated patients should be applied by all staff nurses working in ICUs as essential careneeded to improve the oxygenation level and further replication of the study is recommended on a large sample and different settings.
