Aim: The study aimed to evaluate the effect of an educational intervention based on health beliefs model adoption on pregnant women's knowledge and preventive health behaviours in relation to COVID-19. Subjects & Method: A quasi-experimental design was performed on 100 pregnant women in the antenatal clinic of Zagazig University Hospital using purposive sampling. Data were collected using three tools: a structured interview questionnaire, the health beliefs model and preventive health behaviours of pregnant women in relation to COVID-19. Results : Mean and standard division of knowledge and preventive behaviours about covid-19 were greatly improved from 21.1±5.67 and 26.88±2.49 before applying the Health Belief Model to 27.84±1.67 and 31.92±3.61 after applying the health belief model. Conclusion : The study concluded that an educational intervention based on the adoption of the health belief model enhanced pregnant women's knowledge and preventive health behaviors in relation to COVID-19. Recommendations : The study suggests that health education interventions should specifically target pregnant women at different antenatal clinics at Zagazig city.","PeriodicalId":117851,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Nursing and Health Sciences","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133781914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thyroidectomy is a common surgical procedure resulting in significant neck pain and disability postoperatively. After thyroidectomy, patients often experience discomfort such as neck pain, shoulder stiffness, shoulder movement difficulty, choking, or a pressing sensation. Head-neck stretching exercises provide neuromuscular coordination and flexibility in patients by reducing pain and muscle weakness. Aim: to evaluate the effect of implementing head-neck stretching exercises after thyroidectomy on reducing the postoperative neck pain level and disability. Design: A quasi-experimental research design was utilized. Setting: This study was conducted at the head and neck surgery unit of the Alexandria Main University Hospital, Alexandria, Egypt. Subjects: The subjects comprised 60 patients undergoing thyroidectomy. They were divided into two groups at random and equally: a study group that received neck stretching exercise training in addition to routine hospital care and a control group that received routine hospital care. Three tools were used; Tool I: Patients' socio-demographic and clinical data structured interview schedule. Tool II: Neck pain assessment using the Indiana polyclinic combined pain scale (IPCPS). Tool III: Neck Disability Index Questionnaire (NDI). Results: There was a highly statistically significant difference between both groups regarding neck pain and disability one week and four weeks post thyroidectomy.

With the spread of COVID-19 worldwide, many countries declared e-learning education as an alternative method to ensure students continue learning. Being aware of students learning styles can help them find the appropriate ways to learn and benefit from these styles in their future professional journeys. Objective: The study aimed to assess nursing students' satisfaction with e-learning concerning their learning style during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Method: A cross-sectional descriptive design was adopted. The study was conducted at Modern University for Technology and Information, Faculty of Nursing, Egypt. The sample size was 279 students. A self-administered questionnaire was used, including; demographic data, E-learning student satisfaction, and VARK Standard Learning Style Questionnaire version 8.01. Results: It revealed that 64.2% of them were male, 66.3% of their age group was 22≤ 27 y ears old, and 85.7% used smartphones as preferred devices for e-learning. There was a significant association between students' learning styles and their level of satisfaction at p < 0.05. There was a highly statistically significant association between the studied students' age and learning styles, where χ 2 = 453.9 at p <0.001. Also, there was a statistically significant association between students' registered level and preferred learning styles, where χ 2 = 85.3 at p <0.05. Conclusion: most of the participated students were satisfied with e-learning classes and had a unimodal learning style preference, followed by those who had multimodal learning styles. In addition, more than one-third of them prefer the unimodal and multimodal style in the responses to the VARK learning inventory, including Aural, read/write, and kinesthetic. Recommendations: the research finding helps the nursing educators to utilize the appropriate teaching methods and strategies appropriate teaching methods to enhance students' learning efficiency, satisfaction, and achievement according to their learning style. Considering students' learning styles during the e-learning classes, including watching videos, will enhance the students' learning achievements. Teaching materials applied during e-learning should include creative activities to promote students' motivation, perception, satisfaction, and accomplishments.","PeriodicalId":117851,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Nursing and Health Sciences","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126029246","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research design: descriptive cross-sectional study design Setting: The research was carried out in the faculty of nursing affiliated to modern information & Technology University. Subjects: A convenience sample of 160 pediatric nursing students was included in the study. Tools: electronic questionnaires with four components were used to collect data. (1) Nursing students' sociodemographic characteristics, (2) students' satisfaction with e-learning (3) students' satisfaction face-to-face learning (4) Compare the student academic achievement Fieldwork: started on October 2020 about 3 months to January 2021. Results: the rate of satisfaction was less than three-quarters of students had a moderate satisfaction level regarding e-learning education compared to less than half had a moderate satisfaction level regarding face-to-face learning education. Conclusion: This study found that e-learning is an excellent means of educating nursing students, but it is not a substitute for face-to-face instruction. The two methods of education complement each other. E-learning to teach clinical skills is most effective when integrates with traditional classes. This study focuses insight on the obstacles and factors influencing pediatric nursing students' satisfaction of e-learning education throughout COVID-19 19 pandemic as a recently adopted teaching approach.
