Methods: All patients were included. Results: We studied 222 males and 212 females with similar mean ages (30.8 vs 30.3 years, p>0.05, respectively). Beside digital clubbing (14.8% vs 6.6%, p<0.001), smoking (23.8% vs 6.1%, p<0.001), alcohol (4.9% vs 0.4%, p<0.001), transfused red blood cells (RBCs) in their lives (48.1 vs 28.5 units, p=0.000), disseminated teeth losses (5.4% vs 1.4%, p<0.001), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (25.2% vs 7.0%, p<0.001), ileus (7.2% vs 1.4%, p<0.001), cirrhosis (8.1% vs 1.8%, p<0.001), leg ulcers (19.8% vs 7.0%, p<0.001), coronary heart disease (CHD) (18.0% vs 13.2%, p<0.05), chronic renal disease (CRD) (9.9% vs 6.1%, p<0.05), and stroke (12.1% vs 7.5%, p<0.05) were all higher, and autosplenectomy (50.4% vs 53.3%, p<0.05) and mean age of mortality were lower in males, significantly (30.2 vs 33.3 years, p<0.05). Conclusion: The hardened RBCs-induced capillary endothelial damage initiates at birth, and terminates with multiorgan failures even at childhood. Parallel to digital clubbing, all of the atherosclerotic risk factors or consequences including smoking, alcohol, disseminated teeth losses, COPD, ileus, cirrhosis, leg ulcers, CHD, CRD, and stroke were higher, and autosplenectomy and mean age of mortality were lower in males which can not be explained by effects of smoking and alcohol alone at the relatively younger mean age. So autosplenectomy may be a good whereas male gender alone may be a bad prognostic factor, and digital clubbing may have an atherosclerotic background in SCDs.

Those symptoms contribute to a decline in physical functioning and a limitation in their ability to do their daily tasks. Palliative care (PC) is crucial for people with HF because it focuses on improving the quality of life and can reduce symptoms and improve function. Qatar aims to introduce PC services for adult patients with HF. Objective: This integrative review aims to investigate the barriers, facilitators, and the outcomes to the provision of palliative care among adult patients with HF. Methods: Whittemore and KnafI’s framework guided this integrative review. Using three databases, twenty (n=20) peer-reviewed articles, published between 2011 and 2022, were included in the integrative review. The Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool was used to assess the quality of these articles. The data was then extracted and thematically analyzed before being synthesized. Results: The barriers, facilitators, and outcomes of providing PC services to individuals with HF were identified from the perspectives of patients, healthcare providers, and healthcare organizations.

The impact is noticeable among nurses due to the physical demands of their duties, such as patient positioning and mobilization. Several approaches, including back-care programs, have been implemented to prevent negative impact and reduce the incidence of low back pain among nurses. However, back-care practices are influenced by various factors that affect their success among nurses, especially those working in long-term care settings. Aim: This integrative review aims to identify the factors that promote back-care practices among nurses working in long-term care settings. Method: This integrative review was guided by Whittemore and Knafl’s (2005) framework. Three databases were searched for peer-reviewed studies published between 2011 and 2021 based on set inclusion and exclusion criteria. A hand search was also conducted among the reference lists of the included peer-reviewed articles. The identified articles were critically appraised using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. Data was then extracted, and the various barriers and facilitators of back-care practices were noted based on the three levels of the Socio-Ecological Model: individual, organizational, and environmental. Results: Three main factors that influence back-care practices include lack of knowledge among nurses about the programs, lack of organizational support, and lack of maneuvering space. Conclusion: It is imperative that educational sessions related to the safe handling of patients be provided to nurses to increase their knowledge and implementation of appropriate back-care practices.

Central to this, is the attitude and practice nurses may have toward vaccines during administration. It is postulated that altering knowledge towards immunization may impact both attitude and practice towards successful immunization uptake. The aim of this research was to assess nurses’ knowledge, attitude and practice after the delivery of a three-day continuing professional development program regarding administration, safe handling and delivery of vaccines. Method: This research consisted of a quantitative cross-sectional study, utilizing a self-administered survey. The survey contained questions related to immunization knowledge, attitude, and practice. Before and after attendance of an immunization program for continuing professional development, the survey was administered to nurses working in well-baby clinics, communicable diseases clinics, travel clinics and school nurses. Specific areas identified gaps in knowledge, attitude, and practice among participating nurses. Results: Results from our study suggest that attitudes and practices of participants identified a significant difference after receiving an immunization educational program that focused on administration and delivery of immunization skills. Conclusion: Continuous professional development activities such as this have shown a marked increase in the attitude and practices of nurses making it tantamount to the success of vaccine uptake.

This systematic review set out to investigate whether taking regular exercise during pregnancy impacts on the length of a woman’s labor. Method: Literature searches were undertaken; the following electronic databases were searched: PubMed, Cochrane, ProQuest Nursing, and MEDLINE. Also, the electronic database search was manual searching of reference lists in articles to locate any relevant related material that may not have been shown. The search was conducted from late 2018 through to 2022. The search was completed on 3rd of March 2022. Results: A total of three studies were included in the final synthesis of evidence. In this analysis, data from various other subjective studies were pooled together using the standardized mean difference statistic (SMD).
