“…The result of this study is in congregant with Said, [30] who conducted a similar study about knowledge and practice of intensive care nurses on prevention of ventilator associated pneumonia, and found that there is no statistically significant difference in ICU nurses practice with demographic characteristic. Moreover this result of the study is in line with Albaqawi et al, [29] in Saudi Arabia who reported that there were no significant differences between1 holistic care and ICU nurse practice when demographic variables were taken as test factor.…”

“…All ICU nurses were female like the study of Hart et al, (2008) who stated that 90.9% of the participant were female. The present study elaborated that, more than half of the ICU nurses were in the age group from (25)(26)(27)(28)(29) year old this result was in congruent with Kapucu et al, [13] who emphasized that nearly half of the participant for preventing VAP were 25-29 years old. Regarding level of education present study showed that, majority of ICU nurses were BSN while only few were MSN.…”

“…The current study revealed that, there was statistically significant difference between ICU nurses age with practice before and after exposure to VAP prevention module. The study result contradicted with Albaqawi, et al [29] who sated that no significant difference between nurses age and holistic nursing care. On other hand Feldman et al, stated that middle age was positively related to productivity measures of job practice.…”

Background: One of the vital principles for preventing ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) in the hospital is equipping healthcare worker by adequate knowledge regarding VAP prevention measures. Integration of electronic education into nursing education flowing growing awareness all-over the world help ICU nurses to incorporate evidence-based practice into daily care for critical ill patient. Study Aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of electronic learning module in implementation of ventilator-associatedpneumonia prevention measures of intensive care unit nurses. Methodology: this study was quasi experimental design used two tools; knowledge assessment tool and VAP bundle checklist. Convenience sample of 109 ICU nurses was recruited from Al-Noor specialist hospital in Makkah. Result: It was founded that nurses' knowledge before they were exposed to educational module was graded as average 72.66% while scores were improved after the exposure to learning module to be high 96.2% meaning that their knowledge has been noticeably improved. However, differences in ICU nurses knowledge in pre and post test was highly significant (P<0.005). ICU nurses poor practice was apparent before exposure to module (61.73%), while ICU nurses practice showed tremendous improvement (>99%) in the last observation. The difference between pre-and post test observation was highly significant (P>0.005). Conclusion: The study revealed that e-learning module in educating ICU nurses about VAP prevention were considerably effective. This was highlighted by high mean scores for VAP knowledge and practice after exposure to module. Recommendation: Integrate orientation program for VAP prevention measures to new staff and continues professional development program for senior staff.

One of the vital principle for preventing Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP) in the hospital is equipping healthcare worker by adequate knowledge regarding VAP prevention measures. Integration of electronic education into nursing education lowing growing awareness all-over the world help Intense Care Unit (ICU) nurses to incorporate evidence based practice into daily care for critically ill patient. Study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of electronic learning module in implementation of ventilatorassociated-pneumonia prevention measures among intensive care unit nurses. Quasi experimental design was used. The current study was conducted in intensive care unit of Al Noor Specialist Hospital in Makkah. Convenience sample of 109 ICU nurses was recruited. This study was conducted by using two tools; knowledge assessment tool and VAP bundle checklist . It was founded that nurses' knowledge before they were exposed to educational module was graded as average 72.66% while scores were improved after the exposure to learning module to be high 96.2% meaning that their knowledge has been noticeably improved.

“…Additionally, CCNs should be able to monitor the patients' autonomic responses while implementing the integrative nursing practices for early detection of any signs of deterioration or to ensure stability or improvement of the patients' status. [27][28][29] Furthermore, CCNs must be able to use standardized system of assessing the recovery of TBI patients' cognitive function by using accurate scales. The most common developed and validated scales used in the critical and rehabilitation settings are the Western Neuro Sensory Stimulation Profile (WNSSP), the Sensory Modality Assessment and Rehabilitation Technique (SMART), the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), the Full Outline of UnResponsiveness (FOUR) score, and the Rancho Los Amigos (RLA) scale.…”

Background and objective: Cognitive recovery after severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the biggest challenge facing the critical care nurses (CCNs). Several studies have been reported that the majority of CCNs are concerned with providing conventional nursing practices to severe TBI patients. These practices are directed to stabilize patients’ status rather than to enhance cognitive recovery after TBI. Application of integrative nursing practices for TBI patients can help in enhancing cognitive recovery. Aim: This study aimed to determine the effect of integrative nursing practices on cognitive recovery among severe traumatic brain injury patients.Methods: A quasi experimental research design was utilized. A convenience sample was conducted on 60 adult patients suffering from severe TBI who admitted to the intensive care units of Alexandria Main University Hospital. Patients were assigned into study group (30 patients) and control group (30 patients). One tool was used for data collection namely “Cognitive Recovery Assessment Tool”. This tool was used to assess recovery of cognitive function domains. It consists of level of consciousness using Full Outline of Un-Responsiveness (FOUR) score, level of cognitive functioning using Rancho Los Amigos (RLA) scale and basic cognitive sensory recovery assessment using Western Neuro Sensory Stimulation Profile (WNSSP) scale.Results: The implementation of integrative nursing practices for the study group was associated with statistically significant positive effects. Patients in the study group showed higher means of consciousness revealed by FOUR score and cognitive function revealed by RLA scale. The basic cognitive sensory recovery revealed by WNSSP scale in the study group was also significantly improved.Conclusions: Implementation of integrative nursing practices has been shown to enhance cognitive recovery among severe TBI patients. Thus, it is recommended for use in a nurse’s daily routine of care for severe TBI patients.
