Family carers of Alzheimer's patients deal with several challenges linked to caregiving, including stress, anxiety, and a high degree of expressed emotion. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the effect of expressed emotion instructional guidelines on family caregiver's burdens of patients with Alzheimer's. Design : This study was carried out using a quasi-experimental design. Setting: This study was applied in neurologic outpatient clinics of a psychiatric hospital in Sohag City. Subject : There was a purposive sample of 100 family caregivers of Alzheimer's patients were enrolled. Data collection tools: 1) Socio-demographic questionnaire for patients with Alzheimer's and their family caregivers. 2) Expressed emotions scale. 3) Zarit burden scale. Results : The results of the current study showed that, following the application of expressed emotion instructional guidelines, scores for family carers' expressed emotion and burdens significantly improved statistically. Additionally, under the studies pre-, post-, and follow-up adoption of expressed emotion instructional guidelines, there were highly statistically significant positive connections between the caregiver's overall expressed emotion and the total burdens score . Conclusion : Implementing instructional guidelines for expressed emotion has a statistically significant reduction of caregiver burdens associated with caring for Alzheimer's patients. Recommendations : Creating family intervention programs in mental institutions that are systematically ongoing to offer the family caregivers the necessary knowledge and emotional support to assist them in managing challenging thoughts and feelings, lessen the negative expression of emotion, and feel less burdened.","PeriodicalId":311996,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Health Care","volume":"24 15","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138625115","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}

Ensuring that training is managed effectively, and interns are educated on COVID-19 is crucial. This study sought to determine the effect of an interactive web-based educational intervention on preventive practices of COVID-19 among internship students. Materials and Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental (one group pre/post-test) research design. The study included all Applied Medical Sciences internship students at AL-Baha University. An intern's hand and respiratory hygiene compliance throughout the COVID-19 pandemic was assessed using a self-administrated online Google form. A post-test was conducted after implementing a web-based interactive COVID-19 preventive education intervention. The SPSS was used for analysis. Results: The interactive web-based educational intervention had a significant impact on the preventive practices of COVID-19 among internship students. After the intervention, there was a notable increase in the average hand hygiene score to 62.06 ± 5.69 (z= 3.661*, p < 0.001*). Similarly, the average respiratory etiquette score also significantly improved, to 94.34 ± 10.93 (z= 3.521*, p < 0.001*). Additionally, students residing in rural areas demonstrated a noteworthy association (t= 3.063, P= 0.002), and those aged above 22 also showed a significant correlation (t= 2.808, P= 0.005). Furthermore, previous training in hand hygiene (t= 1.278, P= 0.003) and respiratory etiquettes (t= 1.871, P= 0.005) were identified as significant determinants. Conclusion: The interactive web-based educational intervention had a significant positive impact on COVID-19 preventive practices among internship students. The hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette scores significantly improved, highlighting its effectiveness in promoting better hygiene practices. Moreover, certain student factors, such as residing in rural areas and being above 22 years old, were found to be significantly associated with preventive practices.
