Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge of healthcare providers, specifically nurses, regarding suturing skills, methods, and types at Al-Basrah Teaching Hospital. A descriptive cross-sectional approach was adopted from January 1, 2023, to July 30, 2023. A purposive sample of 100 nurses, representing both genders and various wards, participated. Preliminary validation was conducted through a pilot study involving ten healthcare providers, and Cronbach's Alpha assessed the survey's reliability. Data analysis was executed using SPSS version 26, focusing on descriptive statistics (mean, SD, frequency) and inferential statistics (chi-square). The demographic profile showed an equal distribution in age (50% aged 20-35), a slight female predominance (52%), and a majority holding diplomas (56%). Results indicated a moderate level of knowledge and proficiency in suturing skills and techniques among the participants. These findings suggest a need for enhanced training and education in suturing to improve patient care outcomes in clinical settings. Highlights : Moderate Suturing Proficiency: Nurses displayed a medium level of knowledge and skill in suturing techniques. Demographic Diversity: Sample included a balanced age distribution, slight female predominance, and majority diploma holders. Training Implications: Results highlight the necessity for improved suturing education to enhance patient care quality. Keywords : Suturing Skills, Nurse Education, Healthcare Training, Cross-Sectional Study, Clinical Competency

Abstract

This study aims to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of nursing students regarding insulin therapy. Conducted at the College of Nursing - University of Basrah, the research utilized a questionnaire to gather data from 200 participants over a six-month period. Results indicate a good overall level of knowledge about insulin therapy, a fair attitude towards it, and a medium level of suggested practice. Interestingly, while there was a significant correlation between participants' knowledge and gender, no discernible relationships were found between knowledge and other demographic variables, nor between attitudes and any demographic factors. This suggests the need for targeted educational interventions to improve attitudes and practices towards insulin therapy among nursing students. Highlights: Varied knowledge levels among nursing students. Positive attitudes towards insulin therapy. Need for tailored educational interventions. Keywords: Knowledge, Attitudes, Practice, Nursing Students, Insulin Therapy

Abstract

This descriptive study assesses the knowledge of gastric sleeve procedures among 55 fourth-year nursing students at the College of Nursing in 2024. Recognizing the crucial role of nurses in managing obesity through surgical interventions, this research aims to identify educational gaps within the nursing curriculum. The students were evaluated using a structured questionnaire focused on their understanding of the procedure's link to obesity factors. Results indicated that the majority of students had a satisfactory knowledge level, with significant mean scores; however, about 25% of the responses—mainly those detailing surgical specifics—showed insufficient knowledge. These findings highlight the need for enhanced educational focus on bariatric surgery in nursing programs to better prepare students for clinical responsibilities in patient care and surgical support. Highlights: Knowledge Level: Majority of students showed good understanding of gastric sleeve procedures. Knowledge Gaps: About 25% lacked detailed surgical knowledge. Educational Implications: Results suggest the need for enhanced bariatric surgery content in nursing curricula. Keywords: Gastrectomy, Obesity, Nursing Education, Bariatric, Knowledge

Abstract

Background: The symptoms of hyperactivity disorder include unpredictable, involuntary, and inappropriate movements that occur due to organic or psychological factors, as well as attention deficit disorder. Hyperactivity disorder is characterised by physical movements that surpass the normal or acceptable limit. Objective: The aim of the present study is to assess the kindergartens teachers knowledge regarding hyperactivity disorders in children. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out at Basrah kindergartens between November 2022 and the start of April 2023. A questionnaire was used to gather data for this study, which involved 60 sample (female) kindergarten instructors. The results were then statistically examined. Results: Sixty percent of the participants in this research were between the ages of 20 and 29. 43.3% possess a diploma in education. Of the participants, 81.7% had not undergone any training courses on hyperactivity condition, and 63.3% have 1–5 years of experience. Conclusion: The study concluded that teachers have adequate knowledge about hyperactivity disorder. Highlights: Hyperactivity disorder causes excessive, involuntary, and inappropriate movements. Assess kindergarten teachers’ knowledge of hyperactivity disorder. Teachers show adequate knowledge, but training is limited. Keywords: Kindergartens, Hyperactivity, Knowledge. Disorder, Teacher, Assessment

Abstract

Background: Physiological adaptations, especially in sports exercise, usually occur through stress on the body. The changes that occur in the functions of the body's systems are what cause development in the responses of its organs and muscles, which leads to improved athletic performance. Adaptations in response to training include: decreased the heart rate, increased the stroke volume, increased the oxygen uptake, increased the blood hemoglobin levels, and the muscle hypertrophy. Objective of the study: To evaluate the rates of the left ventricular enlargement after years of aerobic training. The research sample: includes (24) athletes and all them practice aerobic activities at the present time, as follows: Six they have (1-2) years of training. Six they have (2-4) years of training. Six they have (4-6) years of training. Six they have (6-8) years of training. The left ventricular mass was examined and diagnosed using the Echocardiogram. Data analyses: The data was analyzed using the SPSS program V. 26. Conclusions: 1-Left ventricular hypertrophy increases with the increase in the years of the aerobic training. 2-During the four years of training, left ventricular enlargement remains within the normal range. 3-after four years, Left ventricular hypertrophy begins to rise above the normal range. 3- The left ventricular hypertrophy in an aerobic athlete is not considered a pathological condition. Highlights: Adaptation: Aerobic training increases left ventricular hypertrophy over time. Timeline: Enlargement stays normal for 4 years, increases beyond normal after. Conclusion: Hypertrophy in athletes is non-pathological and a physiological adaptation. Keywords: Physiological Adaptation; Ventricular Enlargement, Athletic Heart Syndrome.

Abstract

Background: Visceral fat is a key health indicator due to its physiological link to vital body functions, particularly blood pressure regulation. Elevated visceral fat has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases and metabolic disorders. Specific Background: High blood pressure, a chronic condition characterized by elevated arterial pressure, is influenced by various physiological factors, including body composition. The excessive accumulation of visceral fat can contribute to hypertension by impacting cardiovascular and metabolic functions. Knowledge Gap: Despite existing studies on obesity and hypertension, limited research has explored the direct correlation between visceral fat levels and blood pressure among university students in Iraq. Aims: This study aims to assess visceral fat levels and blood pressure among students at the Open Educational College – Basra Center and examine the relationship between these two variables. Results: Among 85 participants (42% male, 58% female, mean age 40.14 years), 55% had abnormal visceral fat levels, and 52% exhibited elevated blood pressure. Chi-square analysis revealed a significant relationship (X² = 8.125, p = 0.028) between visceral fat and hypertension, indicating that individuals with higher visceral fat percentages were more likely to have elevated blood pressure. Novelty: This study provides empirical evidence linking visceral fat accumulation to increased blood pressure in an understudied population, reinforcing the importance of visceral fat as a predictive factor for hypertension. Implications: The findings highlight the necessity for targeted health interventions, including lifestyle modifications and public health strategies, to mitigate the risks associated with excessive visceral fat accumulation and hypertension. Future research should further investigate underlying mechanisms and preventive measures tailored to at-risk populations. Highlights: Visceral fat impacts blood pressure, influencing cardiovascular health. Higher visceral fat correlates with increased blood pressure levels. Managing visceral fat may help regulate blood pressure and prevent complications. Keywords: Visceral fat, blood pressure, obesity, cardiovascular health, hypertension.
