“…Furthermore, the intervention was given in addition to usual teaching and no restrictions on access to additional educational resources were imposed, all of which may have influenced the effects of the individualized education intervention over time. The change in outcomes within each group could be attributed to the individualized nature of the intervention (24).…”

“…The teaching content that was delivered to CABG patients was relevant and applicable to their recovery experience, as it was selected by them for discussion during the teaching learning interaction. Researchers have suggested that the more relevant the teaching content is to the individual needs, the more likely they will retain and apply the information (24). As well, the level of anxiety assessed immediately prior to the delivery of the education was significantly lower in the post-discharge group than in the predischarge group.…”

Background: The primary focus of this study is on the timing of the delivery of education to patients who had CABG surgery. Aim: To determine the efficacy of an individualized telephone patient education intervention, delivered at two different points in time (1–2 days pre-discharge versus 1–2 days post-discharge) in enhancing the CABG patient's knowledge of self-care behaviours, performance of self-care behaviours, and symptom frequency. Method: A randomized clinical trial that included a convenience sample of first time CABG patients. Individuals who received education pre-discharge were compared to individuals who received education post-discharge on the outcomes. Results: Results indicated no statistically significant difference in outcomes between the two time points. As well, anxiety levels were found to be significantly higher in the pre-discharge group than the post-discharge group. Conclusions: The individualized nature of the educational intervention may have accounted for non-significant findings reported in outcomes between the two time points. Practice implications: Nurses may consider assessing anxiety levels prior to delivery of educational interventions, implement interventions aimed at reducing anxiety levels, and provide individualized teaching.

Background:Acute paracetamol toxicity is one of the commonest toxicities that lead to serious hepatic injury that could propagate to fulminant hepatic failure. An increase in serum level of alpha fetoprotein was observed following liver injury, and this increase was assumed to be associated with hepatic regeneration. Alpha fetoprotein (AFP) ratio (day 3/day 1 serum level) was proved to be a predictor for prognosis. Aim: The present study aims to evaluate the prognostic value of serum AFP and to evaluate the value of alpha fetoprotein ratio (day 2/day 1 serum level) for earlier prediction of the degree of liver regeneration after acute paracetamol toxicity. Methods: The present study was conducted on 32 patients with acute single paracetamol overdose admitted to the Poison Control Centre of Ain Shams University hospitals (PCC-ASUH). Liver routine laboratory tests were done on admission and on the second day in addition to measurement of the serum level of alpha fetoprotein. Results and Conclusions: Results showed that the increased serum level of alpha fetoprotein was linked to regeneration of the liver which was suggested by shortening of the duration of hospital stay. In addition, the AFP ratio day2/day1 serum level was suggested by the study results to be an efficient prognostic factor in cases with acute paracetamol toxicity for early prediction of the state of regeneration of the liver.
