“…Study results were validated by (Vijayan, 2011) who found that (77.5%) of nurses have less than five years of critical care units′ experience while only (22.5%) have more than 10 years of experience in working at ICU. Also, these findings was in accordance with a study done by (Eldsouky et al, 2016) they stated that about one third of the studied sample had experience from five to ten years. These results contradicting with (Aslam et al) they stated that (36.54%) have 1-5 years of experience in critical care units and (37.02%) have 6-10 years of .…”

Background: Fluid balance is among important measures because it has a great importance in managing and understanding patients' clinical status recorded in patients' daily observation sheet. Monitoring fluid balance is a part of the scope of nurses' practice. Aim of the study: to evaluate the effect of educational protocol regarding accurate monitoring of fluid balance on critical care nurses' knowledge and practice.Research design: Quasi -experimental research design will be utilized to fulfill the purpose of this study. Setting: This study was carried out at six critical care units affiliated to Minia University Hospitals (Intensive care unit, renal intensive care unit, neurosurgical intensive care unit, cardiac intensive care unit, chest intensive care unit, stroke unit). Subjects: A Purposive sample of all critical care nurses who are working in six critical care units at Minia University Hospitals that mentioned before and willing to participate in the study was included. Tools of data collection: Two tools were designed and used for collecting data for this study, First Tool: structured questionnaire sheet, Second Tool: Nurses′ performance observational checklist sheet, Educational Protocol about accurate fluid monitoring. Results: There was a highly statistically significant difference in nurses' knowledge and practice pre and post educational protocol regarding monitoring fluid balance. Conclusion: results showed that there is a large wide gap between nurses′ knowledge and their practice regarding monitoring of fluid balance pre and post-educational protocol. Recommendations: Greater attention should be given for observing nurses' performance during monitoring fluid balance. Replication of the study should be done on a large probability sample Aim of the StudyEvaluate the effect of educational protocol regarding accurate monitoring of fluid balance on critical care nurses' knowledge and practice. Research questionsWhat is the level of nurses' knowledge and practice regarding accurate monitoring of fluid balance in the critical care units pre & post educational protocol ?What is the effect of educational protocol regarding accurate fluid balance monitoring on nurses Knowledge and practice?

“…The current study showed that a high percentage of nurses were incompetent in monitoring CVP. This is consistent with other Egyptian studies which investigated nurses' practice regarding fluid and electrolyte maintenance in ICUs [17,31]. We agree with the authors that the reason could be due to nurses' heavy workload and limited time.…”

Background: Fluid and electrolyte disturbances are the most frequently reported problems in intensive care units (ICUs). These disturbances are associated with high morbidity and mortality rate among critically ill patients. Early detection and management of fluid and electrolyte imbalance can improve patients' outcome, decrease the length of intensive care stay and reduce the cost of health care services. Purpose: To develop nursing standard for maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance for critically ill patients in ICUs of Mansoura University Emergency Hospital. Method: The study has a descriptive exploratory design. The study included a convenience sample of 40 critical care nurses who were involved in providing direct care for critically ill patients in the study setting. Additionally, 15 experts from the field of critical care were recruited in the study to evaluate the validity of data collection tools. Results: The majority of the studied nurses had got somewhat a satisfactory practice level for fluid and electrolyte assessment and management in the study setting. No significant correlation was found between nurses' practices scores and their socio demographic characteristics. Most items of the proposed nursing standard for maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance for critically ill patients were agreed upon by the expert group. Conclusion: Nursing practice for maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance for critically ill patient in the studied setting was somewhat acceptable. The developed nursing standard can be used as a base for enhancing nursing practice and consequently improve patient outcome. Further research is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of the developed nursing standard in maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance for critically ill patients in ICUs.

Background: Fluid and electrolyte balance are critical for the maintenance of life and homeostasis. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate nurses' knowledge and practice in maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance. Methods: Quasiexperimental design [pre, post, and follow-up tests] was utilized to fulfill the purpose of the study. Settings: This study was conducted at Pediatric Intensive Care Units, Menoufia Governorate, Egypt. Sample: A convenient sample of fifty nurses was represented in this study from January to August 2021. Two tools were used for collecting data. First tool: Fluid balance monitoring questionnaire consisted of two parts to assess nurses' knowledge regarding fluid and electrolyte balance and the second tool: Fluid balance monitoring audit to assess nurses' practice of fluid balance monitoring. Results: The mean age and standard deviations of studied nurses were 28±6.9 and 34% of them were aged between 25 and 30 years old. Half of the study sample [50%] had a bachelor's degree. On the pre-test, there were moderately adequate knowledge and incompetent practices of fluid balance monitoring. In conclusion: The study revealed that implementation of a health education program has a positive outcome on the advance of nurses' knowledge and practices about fluid measurement and maintenance. Recommendation: Ongoing in-service education programs must be implemented at Intensive Care Units in order to boost nurses' knowledge, practice, and outcome.
