Aim: the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of enhancing the<br />self-efficacy of patients with neck pain on their functional disability. Setting & sample: the<br />study was conducted at the inpatient and outpatient sections in Al-kasr Al-Aini Hospital,<br />affiliated to Cairo University using a quasi-experimental design with pre-post assessment on<br />40 adults having non-traumatic neck pain. Tools: the data were collected using a selfadministered<br />questionnaire that included Copenhagen Neck Functional Disability Scale and<br />the Arthritis Self-Efficacy Scale. The nursing intervention consisted of individualized<br />educational sessions about proper body mechanics, isometric exercise, hot and cold<br />application. The effect of the intervention was evaluated by the same questionnaire. The<br />fieldwork started in May and ended in November 2010. The results demonstrated significant<br />improvements in the scores of Copenhagen scale after the intervention; the median total score<br />decreased from 21 to 12 (p<0.001). Self-efficacy scores also improved; the median total score<br />increased from 31.0 to 57.7 (p<0.001). Regression analysis identified self-efficacy score as an<br />independent statistically significant negative predictor of Copenhagen score, indicating less<br />disability. Conclusion: study findings lead to the conclusion that a nursing educational<br />program focused on improving the self-efficacy of the patients with neck pain led to<br />improvement in their functional disability. Recommendations: The study recommends<br />further confirmation of the study findings through a randomized clinical trial. Moreover,<br />validation of the tool in the local context is proposed.Zagazig University; Faculty of NursingZagazig Nursing Journal2090-61107220190701Assessing Staff Nurses’ and Female Patients` Perceptions of Male Nursing at Tanta University Hospital62803861810.21608/znj.2019.38618ENReda Abd El-FatahAbo GadLecturers of Nursing Administration, Faculty of Nursing, Tanta UniversitySafaa MohamedEl-DemerdashLecturers of Nursing Administration, Faculty of Nursing, Tanta UniversityJournal Article20190702Background: The demand for registered nurses is growing substantially disproportionately<br />with the predicted supply over the next 2 decades.
