Background: -Domestic accidents are the most common cause of death in children under 5 years of age. First aid intervention can lower the disability and increase the chances of survival of the injured child. Most of these accidents are preventable through increase mothers̛awareness and improvements in the home environment. Aim of this study to assess mothers' knowledge and practices regarding first aids management of domestic accidents among under-five children in El-Beheira governorate. Research design: a descriptive exploratory research design. Settings: This study was conducted at the governmental primary health care centers in El-Beheira governorate. Tools: Mothers structured interview schedule and home safety assessment sheet. Results: the mean age of studied mothers was (27.22±5.02.) and 45.1% of them had secondary education. The most commonly reported source of information about first aid was mass media followed by relatives. Two fifths of the mothers had fair knowledge regarding first aid, while 51.7%of them had poor first aid measures. With regard to mothers̛safety practices for prevention of domestic accidents 41.3% of the mothers reported fair safety practices. There was highly significance relation between mothers' knowledge and practices regarding first aid and their age, education and occupation. There was highly significant relation between mother's safety practices and education, marital status, family monthly income. Conclusion: the study concluded that the reported first aid practices among studied mothers weren't satisfactory particularly regarding drowning, foreign body aspiration. However, they had fair knowledge regarding first aid measures. Recommendations: inclusion of training program regarding first aid management and the prevention of home accidents in the educational curriculum of preparatory and secondary schools and Universities.

Prematurity is associated with feeding difficulties which remain a challenge for the neonatal nurses. Reaching full enteral feeding and increased weight are eligible criteria for sniffing away feeding tube and discharging from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). So, incorporating innovative olfactory and gustatory stimulations would enhance the preterm neonates' oral feeding abilities. Consequently, it leads to sniffing away the feeding tube, improve full enteral feeding and weight. Aim: The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of olfactory and gustatory stimulations on preterm neonates' feeding progression and sniffing away feeding tube. Research design: A quasi-experimental design was used.

Preterm neonates experience pain with several procedures within the Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs). Significant evidences prove that controlling the neonates' pain is helpful in improving physiological, hormonal, and behavioral outcomes. Therefore, it is reasonable to manage preterm neonates' pain by integrating innovative non-pharmacological pain measures that will help those neonates to handle the stressful situations. Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of mothers' heartbeats combined with swaddling technique on Orogastric Tube (OGT) insertion pain among preterm neonates. Research Design: A quasi-experimental research design was used.
