| Abstract | Background: Antibiotic resistance is an emerging worldwide concern with serious repercussions in terms of morbi-mortality. Aim of study: Was to evaluate the effect of educational guidelines regarding preventive measures of antibiotic resistance on nursing students’ knowledge and attitude. Research design: Quasi- experimental research design (pre-test and post-test) was utilized to achieve the study's aim. Setting: The study was conducted at Faculty of Nursing, Benha University, Benha, Egypt. Sample: Simple random sample of 1st year nursing students at Benha Faculty of Nursing were taken, from both sexes, during the second term of the academic year 2020/2021, the total sample included 263 students. Tools of data collection: Two tools were used; I: Structured interviewing questionnaire that included socio demographic and knowledge parts and II: Students' attitude scale regarding antibiotic use. Results: There was a highly significant statistical difference in total knowledge level throughout different study periods (pre, immediately post and after one month) of implementing educational guidelines. Also, there was a highly significant statistical difference in total attitude level regarding antibiotic use throughout different study periods. Finally, there was a highly significant statistical positive correlation between students' total knowledge and total attitude after implementing educational guidelines; during immediately post and after one month periods where the higher the level of knowledge, the more positive is the attitude. Conclusion: Nursing students' knowledge and attitude regarding antibiotic use and resistance were improved significantly after implementation of educational guidelines. Recommendations: Ongoing educational programs regarding antibiotic use & resistance and integrating brief content about that topic in first year educational curricula are needed to improve nursing students' knowledge and attitude. |

| Abstract | Background: Varicose veins disease is a chronic venous disease that progressively diminishes patients’ quality of life and imposes an escalating strain on healthcare resources. Aim of the study: To evaluate the effect of Buerger Allen exercise on health outcomes of patients with lower limbs’ varicose veins. Research design: Quasi-experimental (pre and post intervention) comparison study design. Setting: General surgery outpatients’ clinic at Benha University Hospital, Benha, Qalyubia Governorate, Egypt. Sample: Purposive sample of 69 adult patients with grade 3 lower limbs’ varicose veins. Tools: Five tools were used; (1) Structured interviewing questionnaire, (2) National Health Service varicose vein grading system, (3) Pain visual analog scale, (4) Pitting edema grading system and (5) Patients' practice observational checklist. Results: There was a highly significant statistical difference (p ≤ 0.001) regarding studied patients' total knowledge & practice throughout different study phases of implementing educational intervention. Also, there was a highly significant statistical difference (p ≤ 0.001) regarding studied patients' lower limbs’ pain intensity & grade of edema throughout different study phases of implementing Buerger Allen exercise, while there was no deterioration in studied patients' grade of varicose veins. Conclusion: The educational intervention was effective in improving patients’ level of total knowledge & practice regarding lower limb’s varicose veins & Buerger Allen exercise. Also, Buerger Allen exercise was effective in decreasing patients’ lower limbs’ pain intensity & grade of edema, as well as preventing deterioration of patients’ grade of varicose veins and preventing complications. Recommendations: Ongoing educational interventions are needed to improve patients’ health outcomes, knowledge & practice regarding lower limb’s varicose veins & Buerger Allen exercise. |
