Health-care systems are thus encountering an increased demand for high quality care while the resources they can command from society are decreasing. Primary health care (PHC) aims to prevent disease or injury before it ever occurs. Aim This study aimed to assess nurses’ perception about the quality of health-care system in PHC centers in Beni Suef Governorate. Research design Descriptive cross-sectional design was used. Participants and methods The study was conducted at PHC centers in Beni Suef Governorate. Randomly selected65 (PHC) centers excluding maternal child health centers. The total sample size was 455 nurses of different categories of nursing staff working in the selected 65 PHC centers in Beni Suef Governorate. A self-administered questionnaire for nurses’ perception about the quality of health-care system in PHC centers was adopted from Hassan (2013). Results The highest mean score of nurses’ perception (37.92±6.26) was teamwork formation and its type. The lowest mean score (12.06±2.51) was elements of quality. More than half (51.9%) of the participants had a high perception level of quality health-care system, Also, more than one-quarter (35.8%) of them had moderate perception level while a minority (12.3%) of them had low perception level. Conclusion There was high and moderate perception among most nursing staff in PHC centers. Recommendations Reinforce nurses’ perception toward the quality of health-care system by applying Egyptian guidelines and standards for PHC centers.","PeriodicalId":149497,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Nursing Journal","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131833595","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}

Aim The study aimed to assess the prevalence of UTIs among pregnant women. Participants and methods A descriptive/exploratory design was adopted. The study was conducted at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Outpatient Clinic of Sohag University Hospital. A convenience sample of 440 pregnant women, irrespective of age, parity, or gestational age, was recruited for the study. Three tools were used to collect data: first, structured interviewing schedule; second, UTI symptomatology tool; and third, laboratory investigation record. The research investigator developed the structured interviewing schedule and UTI symptomatology tool. Results The study results indicated that the mean age of the pregnant women was 22.8±6.2 years. Overall, 37.3% of the pregnant women had secondary education, 75.7% were living in rural area, and 87.3% were housewives. Moreover, 46.3% of the pregnant women were multigravida, whereas 51.6% of them were multiparous. The prevalence of UTIs among the pregnant women was 42.3%. The types of UTIs isolated were symptomatic UTI diagnosed in 59% and asymptomatic UTI was identified in 41% among pregnant women who had UTIs. The prevalence of symptomatic UTIs and asymptomatic UTI among the total pregnant women was 25 and 17.3%, respectively. Synthetic underwear, decreasing fluid intake, multigravidity, occupation, and educational level were risk factors that might affect the incidence of UTIs. Conclusion The prevalence of UTIs among pregnant women was high. Overall, 41% of pregnant women who had UTIs were asymptomatic. Synthetic underwear, decreasing fluid intake, multigravidity, occupation, and educational level were risk factors that might affect the incidence of UTIs. Recommendation It is important to do routine urine analysis for all pregnant women on every visit.","PeriodicalId":149497,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Nursing Journal","volume":"127 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115400773","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}

Supportive leadership behaviors are very important for employees’ engagement. Aim The study aimed to investigate the relationship between nurse manager leadership style and staff nurses’ work engagement (WE). Design A descriptive correlational design was used. Participants and methods The study was conducted at a teaching hospital that is affiliated to Cairo University Hospitals. A proportional randomly selected sample was used (N=271) of staff nurses. Two questionnaires were used for data collection. The first consist of two parts, first, personal characteristic data sheet; and second, multifactor leadership questionnaire (21 items), and the second questionnaire was the Utrecht work engagement scale (17 items). Results The results of the study revealed that the highest mean percent score of nurses’ leadership style perception was regarding transformational and transactional leadership style (75.09 and74.87%, respectively) and the lowest mean score was regarding laissez-faire leadership style (62. 29%). Moreover, the highest mean percent score of nurses’ WE was dedication (91.51%), and the lowest mean percent score for absorption (80.42%) domain. Most staff nurses had a high level of WE (89.3%). In addition, there was a highly strong significant positive correlation between each of transformational, transactional leadership styles of unit nurse manager, and staff nurses’ WE (r=0.325 and P=0.000, and r=0.260, and P=0.000), whereas there was a negative significant correlation between laissez-faire leadership style of unit nurse manager and staff nurses WE (r=–0.125 and P=0.040). Conclusion The study concluded that there was a highly strong significant positive correlation between each of transformational and transactional leadership styles of unit nurse manager and staff nurses WE. However, there was a negative significant correlation between laissez-faire leadership style of unit nurse manager and staff nurses’ WE. Recommendation The study recommended that hospital administrators should support staff with adequate rewards to motivate them. Nurse managers should perform regular meetings with their staff nurses to identify staff work problems and help them to find solutions which improve their WE. Moreover, hospital administrators should perform regular assessment of unit nurse managers’ skills, knowledge, and behavior before enrollment in the leadership position.","PeriodicalId":149497,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Nursing Journal","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133241527","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}

In the clinical setting, neonates’ pain responses have to be observed and assessed using behavioral and physiological indicators, which can vary across premature infants and full-term infants, depending on their physiological and neurological development stages. Aim To assess nurses’ perception about pain assessment and management in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Patients and methods A descriptive exploratory research design was used on a convenient sample consisted of 60 nurses who were working in four NICUs in Cairo University Hospitals. Nurses’ perception about pain assessment and management in NICUs questionnaire was used, which included four parts regarding personal data, nurses’ perception about pain assessment, management, and barriers in NICUs. Results Most of the nurses had high perception level about pain assessment, management, and barriers in NICUs, and the minority of the nurses had moderate perception level. There was a statistically significant relation between nurses’ perception level and their age, nursing qualifications, and years of experience. Conclusion The results of the current study concluded that most of the NICU nurses had high perception level about pain assessment, management, and barriers. Major barriers that face nurses in NICUs include lack of time in relation to high work load, shortage of nursing staff, and lack of medication supplies.
