Authentic leadership and their mindfulness if combined together create head nurses that have clearer, extra focused thinking, and growth mindset that help subordinates improve and grow. So , the aim of present study is to determine the effect of educational program about authentic leadership and mindfulness factors on head nurses practice selfevaluation. Study was conducted at two hospitals affiliated to Ministry of Health namely Elmenshawy General Hospital and Kafer El sheikh General Hospital. All (70) head nurses working at different clinical departments. Three tools were used including head nurses self-evaluation for authentic leadership, head nurses self-evaluation for mindfulness factors and structured questionnaire to assess head nurse knowledge. The result of present study revealed that preprogram half (50%) of head nurses had high level of total authentic leadership, improved statistically significant immediate post program to be (65.7%). Preprogram low percent 8.6% of head nurse had high level of total mindfulness level improved to be 98.6% immediately post program. Preprogram no one had good level of total knowledge, changed to be all and 98.6% of head nurses got good level respectively. Immediate and three months post program. Recommendation : Authentic leadership and mindfulness educational training programs should be provided periodically for head nurses to keep them updating their essentials knowledge and practis regarding authentic leadership and mindfulness
Orientation programs based on LNA encourage nurse interns to feel safe and enable them to demonstrate competency in the basic clinical and management skills needed for providing high quality and safe patient care. Using LNA ensure NIs commitment to these program. This study aimed to design, implement, and evaluate an orientation program about clinical and management skills needed for nurse interns based on the findings of learning needs assessment tool. Material and method the study was conducted at Tanta University Faculty of Nursing and Tanta University Emergency and Main Hospitals ICUs and obstetric and dialysis departments. (384) nursing students passed the 4 th academic year attended the orientation program. (198) spent their internship year at Tanta University Hospitals were included in the researcher's observation 3 month post program. The data collection was achieved by using LNA scale, knowledge test, NIs' orientation program and follow up observation sheet. RESULTS: Pre program around half (51%) of NIs assessed themselves as cannot carryout different clinical and management skills. Majority (87%) of NIs got low knowledge level for both skills. Post orientation program statistical significant improvement at (P≤0.05) was found in NIs' knowledge and practical levels for both clinical and management skills. Conclusion designing orientation programs before starting the internship year based on nurse interns LNA is important to ensure efficient interns performance. Recommendation conduct orientation programs based on nurse interns' LNA and knowledge test before starting internship year and at the beginning of each new rotation, provide nurse interns with pass booklet include standard procedures required to be carried out in each rotation, provide them also with designed evaluation manual based on the pass booklet and implementing nursing mentor-ship and preceptor-ship programs during internship year.
Management program on nursing staff leading role and compliance to follow safety measures is an important component help to protect nursing staff from work related risks. Goal of safety program is to keep staff nurses safe and lead them toward safety actions, so they can help them to gain knowledge, and skills to deliver safe and quality care. So, the aim of this study was to determine the effect of management program on nursing staff leading role and compliance to follow safety measures at intensive care units. Study was conducted at all ICUs of Tanta Emergency Hospital. The total number of study sample was (n=100) nursing staff working in ICUs at Tanta Emergency Hospital, including charge nurses (n=30) and bedside nurses (n=70). Twoo tools were used for the collection of data: (1) Nursing Staff Performance Scale and (2) Nursing Staff Knowledge Questionnaire. The results of this study revealed that minority (26.7%) of charge nurses showed satisfactory level of practice for leading role pre-program, improved to be majority (86.7%) post-program. Few (41.4%) bedside nurses had satisfactory level of total compliance to follow safety measures practice pre-program, improved to majority (88.6%) post-program. Nursing staff (48%) had poor level of total knowledge pre-program, but the majority (92%) showed good level of total knowledge post program. Conclusion: Nursing staff knowledge and practice on leading role and compliance to follow safety measures in ICUs at Tanta Emergency Hospital were low, change nurses leading role and bedside nurse's compliance practice improved after implementation of needed program.

Head nurses 61.3% had poor level of total specific knowledge pre-program, changed to be 90.3% and 87.1% had good level of knowledge post program. Pre-program majority (90.3%) of head nurses had mild level of performance of educational , consultation, research and support team in surveillance roles decreased to (3.2%) post program. Nurses range (15.4%-22.9%) showed compliance level to infection control practices pre-program, improved to range (75.4%-84.0%) post program with highly statistically significant differences (p= < 0.001). Conclusion: At Tanta University Emergency Hospital nursing staff basic knowledge, head nurses specific knowledge and role performance and nurses' compliance were low and statistically improved after implementation of needed management program.
