Background: Faculty members must be prepared to teach online as a strategy during the current COVID-19 epidemic. There is a rising demand and necessity for online teaching at higher education institutions. A crucial success factor for online education is the government's proactive efforts in analyzing educator readiness, problems, and satisfaction. Aim: the present study aimed to assess online teaching readiness, challenges and satisfaction as perceived by nursing faculty members during COVID -19 pandemics. Research Design: Descriptive correlational design was used in this study. Setting: different universities included in the study ( Cairo, Beni Suef , Ain Shams, Port Said, South valley and Zagazig).Sample: Convenient sample (n= 203) of faculty members from different universities who agreed to participate in the study and experience online teaching were involved in the study. Tools of data collection: data collected using three questionnaires Include: 1-: Online teaching readiness questionnaire, 2-Challenges of online teaching questionnaire and 3-Online satisfaction questionnaire. Results: Data revealed that nursing faculty members had high level readiness regarding online teaching. They all agreed that there is inadequate technology support and frequent technology failures. The highest percentage of them was satisfied with on-line education to a moderate degree. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between study subject perception of readiness and satisfaction with online teaching. Recommendation: Universities should provide educators with ongoing training on how to teach online courses. To facilitate online education, educators should be provided with appropriate infrastructure (laptops, technical support, etc.). University leaders should develop a strategy to address the problems of online teaching and create strategies to boost instructors' satisfaction with online teaching.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions and knowledge regarding physical restraint used among registered nurses (RNs) and nursing assistants (NAs). Method and Sample: A descriptive cross-sectional design was used. A convenient sample was recruited from nursing staff from Palestinian and Saudi Hospitals. Perceptions of Restraint Use Questionnaire (PRUQ) were used [1]. Results: A total of 144 nursing staffs were included. Physical restraint use was perceived as more important in some circumstances than others. In the critical care unit/ICU, the most important perceived reason for physical restraint use was protecting from falling out of bed and preventing removing dressing. There were significant differences of overall score for the PRUQ among all nursing staff according to hospital, t (142) = 8.74, P = 0.001. The mean of Saudi Arabia hospitals group (M = 4.56) was higher than the mean of Palestinian hospital group (M = 3.67). At the same time, there were significant differences of overall score for the PRUQ among all nursing staff according to specialized education in geriatrics, t (40) = 3.60, P = 0.001. The mean of no specialized education in geriatrics group (M = 4.13) was higher than the mean of yes specialized education in geriatrics group (M = 3.69). Conclusion and Implications: Nursing staff showed positive attitudes towards restrains application with difference between Palestinian and Saudi Arabian nurses. Proper implementation and good awareness of the complications are prerequisite for application of physical restrains for patients.
Introduction Au cours des pics de la pandémie de COVID-19, les services de réanimation en Tunisie ont été rapidement submergés. Les malades atteints d’une forme non critique ont été hospitalisés dans des services médicaux. L’aggravation de l’état d’un patient hospitalisé était un grand souci autant pour le médecin traitant que pour les parents à cause de la rareté des places en milieu des soins intensifs. L’objectif de notre étude est de décrire l’issu des malades hospitalisés pour COVID-19 et proposés devant l’aggravation de la maladie à un transfert en milieu des soins intensifs. Méthodes Nous avons inclus rétrospectivement tous les malades hospitalisés pour une pneumonie à SARS-CoV-2 dans le service de pneumologie du CHU de Monastir entre octobre 2020 et mars 2021. Les malades étaient proposés pour transfert en milieu des soins intensifs en cas d’apparition des signes de détresse respiratoire malgré un débit d’oxygène à 15 L/min. Deux groupes ont été définis : G1 : les malades proposés et transférés en réanimation ; G2 : les malades proposés mais non transférés faute de place. Résultats Parmi les 147 malades inclus, 43 (29,3 %) ont été proposés pour un transfert en milieu des soins intensifs au cours de l’hospitalisation. L’âge moyen était de 65 ± 12 ans, 49 % des hommes. Les antécédents étaient dominés par l’hypertension artérielle (54,5 %) et le diabète (42,2 %). Le début des symptômes était de 7 [6–10] jours avant l’admission. Une atteinte au scanner ≥ 50 % était trouvée chez 34 % et le débit d’oxygène initial adéquat pour corriger l’hypoxémie était de 8 ± 4 L/min. Par manque de place, seulement 55,6 % (G1) des malades nécessitant les soins intensifs ont été transférés dans un délai médian de 24 heures en milieu de réanimation avec un taux de mortalité de 36 %. Dans le groupe G2 : 55 % décédaient, 15 % était mis sortant à domicile sous oxygène et 30 % sortant à domicile à l’air ambiant. Conclusion Le taux de mortalité était élevé chez les malades n’ayant pas bénéficié des soins intensifs une fois indiqués. Une augmentation du nombre des lits aux services de réanimation pourrait améliorer la chance de survie des malades atteints par COVID-19.
