“…In an attempt to identify barriers to applying preventive bundle guidelines among nurses in the current study, nurses attributed to lack of up-to-date knowledge, high workload and insufficient equipment were the common barriers. These results are in congruence withAl-Ghamdi, (2017) 37 who conducted a study to assess factors affecting nurses' compliance in preventing pressure ulcer and found that,heavy workload/staff shortage is considered as the most barriers facing nurses" compliance regarding prevention pressure ulcer. Moreover, this finding is similar to Mwebaza, et al, (2014) 38 who assess nurses' knowledge, practices, and barriers in care of patients with pressure ulcers in a Ugandan teaching hospital and found that, shortage of supplies, resources and lack of training were the most barriers to carrying out appropriate pressure ulcer management.…”

Background:There is an emerging awareness that acutely ill and immobilized neonates are at risk for iatrogenic pressure injury. Therefore, it is crucial for nurses to understand the physiologic indices of pressure injury development and their interventions should be based on evidence-based information to reduce neonatal morbidity and mortality while increasing quality of care in the neonatal care setting.The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of preventivebundle guidelineson reducing iatrogenic pressure injuries among critically ill neonates.Research design: A quasi-experimental design was used. Settings:This study was conducted at the neonatalintensive care units in Benha Specialized Pediatric Hospital.Sample:A Convenient sample of nurses' (n=50) and critically ill neonates(n=60) were included from the above thementioned setting.Those neonateswere divided equally into two groups(study and control).Tools of data collection:Four tools were used namely; structured interviewing questionnaire format,pressure injury preventive bundle compliance checklist,Braden Q Risk Assessment Scales, andnurses opinion likert scale. Results:High percentage of the neonates (76.7%& 83.3%), in the study group were not at risk of pressure injury in the first and second week of admission respectively;this increased to 90.0%before discharge. While around (40%) of neonates in the control group were at high risk of pressure injury from the first week of admission till before discharge. Moreover. The result revealed that there was a significant improvement in nurses knowledge regarding pressure injuries as well as their compliance with preventive bundle guidelines after bundle implementation.Conclusion:The implementation of preventive bundle guidelines proved to be effective in improving nurses' knowledge and their compliance, with a positive impactontheincidence of pressure injury among critically ill neonates. Recommendation: Preventive bundle guidelines should be implemented in all hospitals caring for children to reduce the harm associated with hospital-acquired pressure injuries.

“…This may be because women worry more about their children, which raises their stress levels and can make them more likely to experience PPD. By contrast, the presence of any maternal chronic illness did not affect PPD rates in this study, contrary to the study by AlGhamdi et al [55].…”

“…A woman's overall mental health history and a history of traumatic or stressful experiences may also put her in a bad mood. Additionally, similar to the findings of AlGhamdi et al, women who experienced pregnancy problems and whose newborns required intensive care unit care had a greater incidence of PPD than those who did not [55]. This may be because women worry more about their children, which raises their stress levels and can make them more likely to experience PPD.…”

BackgroundPostpartum depression (PPD) is a form of depression that can occur after childbirth and is characterized by feelings of sadness. It is a common psychological problem that affects women and children. This study aimed to assess the association between PPD and risk factors, such as delivery mode, ABO blood group, and passive smoking in Saudi Arabia. MethodsPPD was assessed in this cross-sectional using an Arabic version of the Edinburgh postnatal depression scale through an online questionnaire distributed to women in Saudi Arabia between January and March 2022. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 26 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY). ResultsA total of 354 postpartum women completed the questionnaire within six weeks of giving birth. Their mean age and BMI were 30.1±6.78 years and 25.98±5.84 kg/m 2 , respectively. PPD occurred in 56.2% of the participants. Elective cesarean section and operative vaginal delivery were associated with the presence of PPD symptoms in 17.6% and 7% of the women, respectively. The majority of those with third and fourth degrees and those who had instrumental assisted delivery had postpartum depression and this was statistically significant (p=0.017). About 26.6% of the participants were exposed to passive smoking, and 21.9% of them developed PPD. However, it was not statistically significant. Moreover, women with PPD were more likely to have blood type O+, followed by A+. Demographic factors did not show a significant correlation with developing PPD except for age (p=0.01), those who developed PPD were much younger on average than those who did not develop PPD (29.28±6.61 years vs. 31.15±6.86 years). ConclusionA significant association was found between PPD and the type of delivery. The association between PPD and passive smoking, ABO blood groups was insignificant. However, women who developed PPD were younger on average than those who did not develop PPD.

“…In this study availability of sufficient pressure-relieving devices or equipment was an independent predictor for nurse's pressure ulcer prevention practice. This is supported by different studies which found that Scarcity of pressure reliving equipment was the identified factors which limit nurses' practice of pressure ulcer prevention [16,31,32]. This might be due to the fact that adequate access to sufficient equipment may encourage nurse's motivation and ability to prevent patients from developing pressure ulcer.…”

Introduction Pressure ulcer is one of the major challenges in hospitals; which endanger patient safety, prolonging hospital stay and contributed to disability and death. Data regarding to pressure ulcer prevention practice are very important to take action. However in Ethiopia, there are limited researches that have been conducted and there is clearly paucity of information on this regard. Hence, this study aimed to assess pressure ulcer prevention practice and associated factors among nurses in public hospitals of Eastern Ethiopia. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among randomly selected 422 nurses who were working in the public hospitals of Eastern Ethiopia. Data were collected from the 1st February to the 1st March 2018 using pretested structured self-administered questionnaire and observational checklist. The collected data were entered into EpiData version 3.1 and exported to SPSS version 22.0 for analysis. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression with crude and adjusted odds ratios along with the 95% confidence interval was computed and interpreted accordingly. Pressure ulcer prevention was determined based on mean calculation; a result above the mean value was categorized as good pressure ulcer prevention practice, and a P-value of <0.05 was considered to declare a result as statistically significant. Results In this study 51.9% (95% CI: 47.1%, 56.4%) of nurses were reported that they have good pressure ulcer prevention practice. On observation 45.2% of nurses were practicing proper pressure ulcer prevention activities. Pressure ulcer prevention practice were statistically associated with nurses with bachelor degree and above qualification level (AOR = 1.7, 95% CI: 1.02, 2.83), availability of pressure-relieving devices (AOR = 2.2, 95% CI: 1.34, 3.63), being satisfied with their job (AOR = 1.65, 95% CI: 1.09, 2.52) and good knowledge (AOR = 2.3, 95% CI: 1.48, 3.55). Conclusions In this study the self-reported practice and results from observation was substantially low. Continuing education and training should be considered for nurses to enhance their practice regarding pressure ulcer prevention practice.
