Background: The literature links anger, physical exercise, and fitness. The increasing trend<br />of violent events in schools must draw more attention to interventions targeted to reducing<br />school violence. Aim: The aim of current study was evaluating the effectiveness of the<br />implementation of an exercise regimen program on aggressive behavior among primary<br />schoolchildren. Subjects and methods: Research design: The current study was carried<br />out using a quasi-experimental design with pre-post assessment. Setting: The study was<br />carried out using a quasi-experimental design with pre-post assessment in Governmental<br />primary school in Zagazig district, Sharkia governorate, Egypt. Subjects: It included 110<br />primary school students selected by stratified random sampling. Tools of data collection: An<br />interview questionnaire form was used to assess student's aggressive behavior towards self,<br />others, and properties. The researchers prepared and implemented an exercise regimen and<br />implemented it in 12 sessions of 60 min each. The program effectiveness was assessed<br />through immediate and two-month follow-up posttests. Results: Students' age ranged<br />between 6 and 12 years with slightly more males (54.5%). Statistically significant relations<br />were shown between students' pre-intervention aggressive behavior and their age (p < 0.001)<br />and gender (p=0.004). The implementation of the program led to significant improvements in<br />all types of students' aggressive behavior at both posttests (p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis<br />showed that the study intervention was the only negative statistically significant independent<br />predictor of the score of aggressive behavior throughout the study intervention. Conclusion:<br />Aggressive behaviors are prevalent among primary school students, and this can be<br />ameliorated through application of sporting exercises and collective games.<br />Recommendations: The developed intervention should be implemented on a wider scale.<br />Randomized controlled trials are needed for unbiased assessment of the effectiveness of the<br />program, with longer follow-up.

Background: Nursing students are becoming under increasing stress levels financial and<br />personal in today's environments. Aim of the study: the aim of the current study was to<br />investigate stress factors and coping strategies as perceived by nursing students, Damanhour<br />University. Subjects and methods: Research design: Subjects: 330nursing students were<br />involved in this study selected using a proportional allocation techniques. Setting: Faculty of<br />Nursing, Damanhour University in the academic year 2013-2014. Tools: three tools were<br />used: Perceived Stress Scale, Physio-Psycho-Social Stress Scale and Copying strategies<br />used by nursing students to cope with stress. In addition to the socio-demographic<br />characteristics. Results: A positive intermediate significant correlation was found between<br />perceived stress scale and physio-psycho - social stress. Also, a moderate level was found in<br />perceived stress scale and physio-psycho social stress scale. In perceived stress scale, the<br />highest percentage of stress factor was from the assignment and work load while the highest<br />percentage in physio-psycho -social stress was psychological (emotional) stress.<br />Furthermore, the most common stressful clinical area was medical-surgical and critical care<br />departments. The most coping strategy used by nursing students was transference.<br />Conclusion: The most common stress factors among nursing student were stress from the<br />assignment, work load and psychological stress (stressors). Also, the coping strategy utilized<br />by them was transference. In addition to the most common stressful clinical area was<br />medical-surgical and critical care. Recommendations: Nurse educators should help nursing<br />students to overcome stress during clinical practice through emotional and social support.<br />Future research should focus on the different coping strategies and stress interventions<br />utilized by nursing student during stress situation.<br />

Background: Physical restraints are commonly used in clinical settings to control disruptive<br />behaviour, wandering, maintain treatment plans, and prevent falls. The level of knowledge<br />about restraints and the underlying attitudes of staff toward the use of restraints should be<br />identified because knowledge and attitudes can directly or indirectly affect practice. Aim: the<br />study was carried out to identify nurses’ knowledge, attitude and practice toward safety<br />physical restraints use in intensive care unit. Subjects & methods: Research design:<br />Descriptive research design was utilized. Setting: This study was conducted in intensive<br />care units in Menofia University Hospital and Shebien El Koom Teaching Hospital. Subjects:<br />A convenience sample of all nurses on intensive care units in selected setting, 60 nurses in<br />Menofia University Hospital and 35 nurses in Shebien El Koom Teaching Hospital and 95<br />patients with physical restraints were included in this study. Tools of data collection: one<br />tool was used for data collection which is structure interview schedule. Results: The results<br />revealed that about two thirds of the nurses had poor knowledge and about one third of them<br />had moderate knowledge, most of nurses had negative attitude and moderate practice toward<br />the use of physical restraints. There was no statistical significance positive correlation<br />between nurses’ knowledge and practice score while there was statistical significance positive<br />correlation between nurses’ knowledge and attitude score. Also there was statistical<br />significance positive correlation between nurses’ attitude and practice score. Conclusions:<br />The current study concluded that there was inadequate knowledge and practice and negative<br />attitude towards the use of physical restraints in intensive care unit. Recommendations: The<br />study recommended that training programs should be organized for the nurses to improve<br />their knowledge regarding physical restraint application, and orientation programs should be<br />utilized for newly jointed nurses to improve their practice and knowledge regarding restraint<br />application.

Background Stroke is a leading cause of disability and death worldwide. Effective<br />rehabilitation interventions initiated early following stroke can enhance the recovery process<br />and minimize functional disability. Aim: was to determine risk factors of recurrence of stroke<br />episodes and evaluate the influence of lifestyle risk factors modification on patient's outcomes<br />and the frequency of stroke recurrence. Subject & methods: Research design: A Quasiexperimental<br />design was used. Setting: The study was carried out in out-patient clinic of<br />Neurology department, Shebin Elkom university hospital. Subjects: 86 stroke patients were<br />included. Tools of data collection: Three tools are used, a structured interviewing<br />questionnaire, Barthel index scale, physiologic measures. Results: the common risk factors<br />of recurrence of stroke were sex, age, active smoking, cholesterol level, and hypertension.<br />Clear improvement was noticed related to hypertension, blood glucose, cholesterol levels of<br />study group compared to controls at 3rd, 6th, 12th months. Significant positive effect of the<br />interventions was demonstrated immediately in terms of stroke knowledge immediately after<br />intervention and 3 months later. A significant improvement in function of daily activities at 3rd,<br />6th and at the end of one year of follow up. A significant relationship between study and<br />control group regarding occurrence of stroke episodes at the end of one year of follow-up < br />where, 4 cases of stroke recurrence (9.1%) were occurred among study group compared to11<br />cases(26.2%) for controls. Conclusion: identification of risk factors and its modifications is<br />urgent need for stroke patients. Appropriate tertiary stroke prevention needs adherence with<br />lifestyle risk factors changes that make important contributions for further reductions in stroke<br />occurrence. Recommendations: Nurses and allied health professionals should ensure that<br />they provide current, evidence-based information regarding lifestyle risk factors for recurrent<br />stroke to patients and their families. Tertiary prevention interventions should start immediately<br />after hospital patient's discharge.

Gum chewing stimulates bowel motility and<br />decrease duration of postoperative ileus. Aim of the study: The aim of the current study was<br />to evaluate the effect of gum chewing on resumption of bowel functions and reducing ileus<br />after cesarean section delivery. Subjects & methods: Research design: A Quasiexperimental<br />design was adopted in the current study. Setting: The study was conducted at<br />the postpartum unit in Benha University Hospital during the period from September 2013 to<br />February 2014. Subjects: A convenience sample including 218 mothers was divided into two<br />groups study group (n= 112) and control group (n= 106). Tools of data collection: Two tools<br />were used for data collection, interviewing schedule sheet and bowel function examination<br />sheet. The study group chewing sugar free gum and the control group received ordinary<br />nursing care. Results of the study showed highly statistically significant differences in the time<br />of resumption of bowel function and symptoms of postoperative ileus between the groups<br />understudy (p < 0.000), which were significantly shorter in the gum-chewing group compared to<br />those of the control group. Conclusion; bowel motility after cesarean section was early return<br />by gum chewing which is an inexpensive, convenient, safe, effective, physiologically based<br />intervention and well-tolerated method for mothers in post-cesarean section.<br />Recommendations: Chewing gum after cesarean section is recommended to be<br />disseminated to maternity hospitals protocols and added into nursing curriculum.

Background: For history, girls have been less delinquent than boys. Local media and press<br />suggest increasing involvement of females in violent crimes. Further, those females who<br />become involved in delinquent activities appear to be doing so as a result of specific needs,<br />and complex interactions between certain dominions: individual, family, and community. Aim<br />of the study: Aim of the present study was to explore the phenomenon of female juvenile<br />delinquency in Egypt from institutions key workers' perspective. Subjects and methods: a<br />qualitative research approach was performed by conducting in-depth interviews with 16 key<br />workers from three residential correctional institutions affiliated to the Egyptian Ministry of<br />Solidarity and Social justice. Results: female juvenile delinquency is conceptualized as<br />resulting from stacking sets of child personal, familial and extra-familial factors. Female<br />juvenile delinquency is the result of influence, association, pressure, imitation, needs, wants<br />and desires. Conclusion: Risk factors can be captured in every life domain and they exert<br />different effects and do not operate in isolation. The most important cause of female juvenile<br />delinquency as prioritized by key workers is the family. Recommendation: it is recommended<br />that the study be expanded quantitatively to permit for generalization.

Background: Research has shown that students who are motivated find faculty work<br />interesting and important, become absorbed in their studies, and work hard to achieve their<br />goals. However, low assertiveness in students simultaneously creates educational<br />dysfunction, cessation of learning, ability weakness and decrease in aptitude, so high<br />assertiveness is important for students. As well, satisfaction and commitment is necessary for<br />students to have positive feelings about their learning experiences and to develop continuing<br />motivation to learn. Aim of the study: was to determine nursing students' levels of<br />assertiveness, satisfaction, commitment and motivation to learn in the Faculty of Nursing,<br />Zagazig University. Subjects & methods: Research design: Descriptive correlational<br />design. Setting: The study was conducted at the faculty of Nursing Zagazig University.<br />Subjects: Stratified proportionate random sample of 323 students in the Faculty of Nursing,<br />Zagazig University. Tools of data collection: a questionnaire sheet for student nurses<br />composed of five parts: personal characteristics, assertiveness, satisfaction, commitment and<br />motivation to learn. Results: revealed that 87.6 % of students were moderately assertive and<br />62.2 % of them were moderately satisfied. In addition, 56.7% and 52.9 % of students were<br />moderately motivated to learn and committed to the faculty, respectively. Additionally, there<br />were positive statistically significant correlations between students' assertiveness,<br />satisfaction, commitment and motivation to learn. Conclusion: It can be concluded that,<br />student nurses were moderately assertive, satisfied and had moderate level of commitment<br />and motivation to learn. Recommendations: It is recommended to improve students'<br />assertiveness level, develop students' satisfaction level, enhance students' commitment level<br />and increase students' motivation to learn level.

Background: Evidence-based nursing has become an international issue in health care field.<br />One strategy to enhance research utilization and change current nursing practice is to<br />examine factors that may facilitate or hinder nurses’ utilization of relevant researches. Aim of<br />the study: to examine nurses’ perceived barriers, as well as to identify the facilitators for<br />evidence based practice (EBP). Subjects & methods: Research design: A descriptive<br />correlational design was utilized. Setting: The study was conducted at health facilities in<br />Beni-Suef city namely (University hospital, health insurance hospital, and 20 Primary care<br />units). Subjects: Convenience sample was utilized. Tools of data collection: Three tools<br />were used namely: questionnaire sheet, Barriers Scale to EBP and Facilitators Scale to EBP.<br />Results: More than half of participants mentioned that there was unavailability of information<br />resources on EBP to be used in their work areas. The nurses’ barriers that to greater extent<br />prevent them from accessing information on EBP were; nurses didn’t see the value of<br />research for practice, feel capable of evaluating the quality of research& have computer skills.<br />Most of participants mentioned facilitators that to greater extent were helping them to access<br />information on EBP were; cooperative and supportive colleagues, sufficient staffing,<br />resources, improving nurses’ attitudes toward research, and giving rewards for using<br />research. Conclusion: More than two thirds of participants were not familiar with EBP. The<br />barriers reported by participants included; access to research evidence is poor, and<br />administration perceived EBP as a low management priority. Facilitators reported by<br />participants also included; translation of the articles in familiar language& improving nurses’<br />attitudes toward research. Recommendations: Provide nurses with sufficient time on the job<br />to read researches & empower them to change patient care procedures according to research<br />evidence, improve nurses' computer skills by attending training programs and workshops,<br />give rewards for using research and provide information resources.
