It was a facility-based and quasi-experimental research design that carried out in Najran University- college of nursing during the period from January to August 2019. By adopting a purposive sampling technique, 80 under-graduate nursing students (40 experimental groups + 40 as controls) that aged 21-24 years old had been recruited to participate in the current survey. Final exam results and a self-administered questionnaire were used for collecting data. The findings revealed that the mean scores obtained by students in the final exam by the E-learning group (Experimental) is statistically significantly higher than those for the traditional group (controls) (t=3.45, df=37, P value= 0.002). Additionally, the results showed that the mean of the students' overall satisfaction with the traditional face-to-face lectures in the control group was 6.26, while the mean of the students' overall satisfaction with E-learning in the experimental group was 8.74.

Title : Impact of Curos® Disinfectant Cap Utilization in the Reduction of CLABSIs in Pediatric Hematology-Oncology and HSCT Patients.
Abstract : CLABSI rates in PHO and HSCT units have been decreasing, yet the peril of causing infection to patients exists. Product information review of a new disinfectant port protector cap promises a potential of further reducing CLABSI risk when utilized. Method and Materials The study conducted covered 23 beds at PHO and HSCT units in a tertiary referral hospital in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, which started in January 2017 until June 2019. The participants were pediatric patients younger than 16 years old. The new disinfectant port protector cap was introduced to disinfect CVC IV needleless connectors including IV administration ports beginning of April 2018. To ascertain the impact of this product, it was integrated into the existing CLABSI prevention bundle. Nurse's compliance in its use was likewise monitored. Results CLABSI rates before product utilization (15 months) were compared with rates after the product was used which ran also for (15 months). CLABSI rates per 1000 central line days showed the following data: January 2017 to March 2018 (before implementation): mean-SD was 2.81(21 cases)-SD 2.15). April 2018 to June 2019 (after implementation): mean-SD was 0.55(4 cases)-0.95 SD). Mean difference was 2.26, and a 95% confidence interval of (1.21 to 3.30) with t (14) = 4.66, p = 0.000. There was an 80% reduction in CLABSI rates. Nurse's compliance using the cap showed a low of 85% to a high of 100% with an average of 96%. Conclusion The study significantly showed that the use of a disinfectant port protector cap effectively contributed to a lower incidence of CLABSI rates. It likewise improved nurse’s compliance to cap use. Recommendations It cannot be overemphasized the importance of making a disinfectant port protector cap an essential element of the central line maintenance bundle to attain an acceptably low CLABSI rate.

Title : Effect of Palliative Radiotherapy in Controlling Pain of Malignancy
Abstract :

Radiation therapy reported to be an effective in palliating pain. To describe roles of palliative radiotherapy in controlling pain in metastatic cancerous patients, and evaluation of radio-therapy doses in pain management. A prospective observational study carried out at the Baghdad Radiotherapy and Nuclear Medicine Center, Baghdad Medical City Complex, Baghdad, Iraq, from 1st of December 2018 to 30th of May 2019. 88 Patients, were included. Patients were assessed before applying radiotherapy, and at the end of treatment. Pain scoring used from 0 (no pain) to 10 (the worst pain). Kaplan Meier survival curve used. The mean±SD of age was 55.44±11.1 years, and the most frequent age group was 41-50years as 37(42.1%). Breast cancer come in 1st rank cases studied in our research as 35(39.8%). 42(47.7%) of patients received radio-therapy on metastatic spine vertebral lesions. Sharp pain, frequent pain, pain at night were the commonest. Before treatment, the most common scoring was (8) in 33(37.5%) patients, while after palliative radio-therapy the scoring shift downward. Radio-therapy dose of 1200 cGy improved overall survival of patients in this study to 21.5 weeks (95%CI= 20.2-22.8). Radiotherapy is effective in palliative therapy. A dose of 1200 cGy improved overall survival of patients in this study to 21.5 weeks
