Background: Bariatric is a branch of medicine dealing with the causes, prevention, and treatment of obesity. It leads to massive and rapid weight loss in severely obese patients. This may result in numerous complications that affect body image satisfaction and self-esteem.Aim of the study: this study sought to evaluate the effect of a psycho-educational intervention for obese women after bariatric surgery on body image and self-esteem. Study design: A quasi-experimental design was followed. Study setting: This study was conducted in two settings namely the surgical department at University Hospital in Benha and the Gastroenterology ward in the Main University hospital in Alexandria. Subject: A convenient sample of 40 women who had bariatric surgery constituted the study subject. They were divided into two equal groups randomly; a study group that received the nursing psychological educational intervention and a control group that was exposed to routine care only. Tools of the study: Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and The Multidimensional body selfrelations questionnaire appearance scale (MBSRQ-AS) and sociodemographic and clinical characteristics sheet. Results: Study group who received psychoeducational program show higher mean in self-esteem scale than the control group with Mean ± SD (33.55±2.25 and 29.10±2.59 respectively) with highly statistical significant difference between the study and control group. Also, the Mean ± SD of different domains of body image satisfaction in study group were higher than control group with highly statistical significant differences. Conclusion:The psychoeducational program implementation had a positive effect in selfesteem and all domains of body image satisfaction for studied subjects undergoing bariatric surgery. The study recommended that the Psychoeducational programs should be offered for obese women' undergoing bariatric surgery as a regular and integral component of health care.
Prostate cancer is one of the commonest types of cancer in men worldwide. The primary treatment option for localized prostate cancer is radical prostatectomy.Unfortunately, a considerable proportion of men may experience long-term post-surgical sequelae is to determine the effect of nursing interventions on urinary, bowel, and sexual dysfunction among post-radical prostatectomy patients. A quasi-experimental (one group, pre-test-post-test) research design.We included 30 post-radical prostatectomy patients in this study. Each patient was interviewed in five sessions. During these sessions, the information about the complications of RP, pelvic floor exercise training and sexual rehabilitation was given. International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence-Short Form (ICIQ-UI-SF), The Revised Faecal Incontinence Scale (RFIS) and Sexual Health Inventory for Men (SHIM) were used to evaluate the effect of nursing interventions. The study results demonstrate that the incidence of urinary and sexual dysfunction is high among patients post-radical prostatectomy patients. Fortunately, urinary and sexual dysfunctions were improved post-implementation of nursing intervention with statistically significant differences (p-value <0.05). The incidence of faecal incontinence was 16.7% while it was 13.3% post-nursing implementation with no statistically significant differences. Nursing intervention is effective in the management of urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy within a short period time while the improvement in sexual dysfunction may need more time.
