<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Diabetes is a chronic metabolic condition characterized by abnormally high blood glucose levels that eventually results in catastrophic damage to the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nerves. The available data from previous studies on the application of the 5 A’s model-based self-management program to increase knowledge and self-care practices in children are insufficient. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a self-management program based on the 5 A’s paradigm on school-aged children with type 1 diabetes. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> The research design was quasi-experimental. The investigation was conducted at EL Mogamma EL Teby AL Shamal diabetes facility. This study enrolled a convenience sample of 90 children who were accompanied by their moms. Five tools were utilized to collect the data: questionnaire for children’s examination; questionnaire for diabetic knowledge; a questionnaire on diabetes self-care; Diabetic Attitude Scale; and self-care practices for diabetics. <b><i>Results:</i></b> A total of 72.2%, 90.0%, 91.1%, 93.3%, and 96.7% of youngsters, respectively, lacked knowledge, engaged in ineffective self-care activities, had a negative attitude, and practiced incompetently. Differences between pre- and post-program implementation are statistically significant when a self-management program based on the 5 A’s model is implemented. <b><i>Discussion/Conclusions:</i></b> Self-management and self-care models, particularly the 5 A model, are helpful at improving the control of these symptoms, reducing associated problems, enhancing nursing care, and enhancing patients’ quality of life. Increasing the duration of a self-management program based on the 5 A’s model for children with type 1 diabetes reduces negative attitudes and improves quality of life but requires follow-up.
Background:Brain Gym is an innovative new approach to learning that was drawn from a comprehensive body of research from developmental specialists focused on the role that physical movements played in improving learning capacities. Aim: the study aimed to evaluate the impact of brain gym training on cognitive performance of undergraduate nursing students'. Hypothesis: Undergraduate nursing students who receive the brain gym training exhibit more improvement of their cognitive performance than those who did not receive it. Design: the study followed a quasiexperimental design. Setting: the study was carried out in El-
Background: Six Thinking hats is a time-tested, proven, and practical thinking tool that acts as a role-playing model. It is as a team-based problem solving and brain storming technique that can be used to explore problems and solutions and uncover ideas and options that overlooked by a homogeneously thinking group. On the same line, it separates the components of thinking in order to do them properly as there is no one brain ideal for all types of thinking. Also, it provides a framework to help people think clearly and thoroughly and directs thinking attention in one direction at a time. Edward de Bono identified 6 types of one-dimensional personalities or Thinking Hats, while the average person will often imbue qualities from several of these 6 types. Participants put on hats in turn to indicate directions of thinking, possibly more than once but not necessarily all of them, the color of each is related to a function. Method: exploratory descriptive design was used with two tools used in data collection" California Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory" and "Six Hats problem solving Application questionnaire". Results: There were statistical significant differences between both groups of students in relation to critical thinking disposition and problem solving skills in post assessment phase in the favor of study group (p < .001). Conclusion: In the current study, the six hats technique was used in training of nurse students to improve their critical thinking disposition and the skills of problem solving, which facilitates productive critical thinking, collaboration, communication, creativity and enables each person's unique point of view to be considered in problem solving
