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.Zagazig University; Faculty of NursingZagazig Nursing Journal2090-611011120150101Stress Factors and Coping Strategies as Perceived by Nursing Students16323922810.12816/0029244ENNevine HassanAbd El Alllecturer, Nursing Administration Department, Faculty of Nursing, Damanhour UniversityAbeer Abd El FattahAbou Shoushalecturer, Nursing Education Department, Faculty of Nursing, Damanhour UniversityJournal Article20190706Background: Nursing students are becoming under increasing stress levels financial and<br />personal in today's environments.
