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.

Introduction: Motorcycles are one of the widely used means of transportation in Egypt nowadays especially three-wheeled motorcycle "Tok-Tok" and there is an increased frequency of crash injuries among motorcycle riders. Aim of work: To assess the risky behaviors and the safety measures in a group of Egyptian motorcycle riders who experienced road traffic accidents, and to study the possible underlying causes of crash accidents. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 319 motorcycle riders admitted to Zagazig University Hospitals due to crash accident. A questionnaire was used to gather information about rider's risky behaviors and safety issues along with other socio-demographic data. Results: The study showed that the majority of motorcyclists (87.1 %) don't have a driving license, only (1.9 %) wear helmets and more than half of them (54.5 %) usually use the cell phone while riding and this was noticed more among "Tok-Tok" (3 wheels) riders. About 58.0% of riders don't respect traffic rules as traffic lights or road signs, and the majority ride on highways. Poor riding technique (73.4 %) was the main cause of accidents. Stunting acts were more common among the two wheels riders with riding experience less than 10 years. Conclusion: the results of this study attract the attention to the main causes of crash accidents which relates to human risky behaviour. This raises the need for proper safety education and training of motorcycle riders with traffic law enforcement, especially driving license and safe riding practices which can definitely help in reducing the incidence of road accidents and save human lives.
