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: Poor adherence to antihypertensive medications and persistently elevated blood pressure contribute significantly to cardiovascular events, increased hospitalizations, and premature mortality. Specific Background: Adverse effects of antihypertensive medications, such as cough, dizziness, and increased urination, often lead to non-adherence, exacerbating these health risks. Knowledge Gap: There is limited understanding of nurses' knowledge regarding the adverse effects of antihypertensive medications, particularly in developing regions. Aims: This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the knowledge of nurses in Basra, Iraq, about the adverse effects of antihypertensive medications and to identify areas needing improvement. Results: Seventy nurses (both male and female) from various hospitals in Basra participated in a questionnaire. Findings revealed that only 49.78% of nurses were confident in their knowledge about the adverse effects of these medications, 20% did not know the answers, and 25.9% were unsure. The overall mean score was significant (2.27), indicating insufficient knowledge. Novelty: This study provides the first detailed assessment of nurses' understanding of antihypertensive medication adverse effects in Basra, highlighting a critical gap in knowledge and the need for targeted educational interventions. Implications: Enhancing academic and practical training for nurses is essential to improve patient care and adherence to hypertension treatments. Future research should focus on developing and implementing educational programs and continuous assessment frameworks to ensure nurses are well-equipped to manage and communicate the adverse effects of antihypertensive medications. By addressing these gaps, healthcare providers can better support patients in adhering to their treatment regimens, ultimately reducing cardiovascular risks and improving patient outcomes. Highlights: Knowledge Gap: Only 49.78% of nurses confident about antihypertensive medication adverse effects. Implications: Enhance nurse training to improve patient care and treatment adherence. Future Research: Develop educational interventions and continuous assessment frameworks for nurses. Keywords: Antihypertensive Medications, Nurse Knowledge, Adverse Effects, Hypertension, Patient Adherence

Abstract

General background: Administering and preparing medications are fundamental aspects of nursing practice that significantly influence patient outcomes. Specific background: Medication errors during preparation or administration can lead to adverse effects, and assessing nurses' knowledge in this area is crucial for improving patient safety. Knowledge gap: Limited studies have examined the specific knowledge of nurses in Iraq, particularly in Basra hospitals, regarding these practices. Aims: This study aims to assess the knowledge of nurses in Basra Governorate hospitals concerning medication preparation and administration, identifying areas for improvement to enhance patient care. Results: The study surveyed 70 nurses (55.71% female and 44.28% male), with 47.1% holding a BSc in nursing sciences, 28.57% with a diploma, and 24.28% from secondary nursing schools. Regarding experience, 31.42% had less than one year, and 30% had 1-5 years of experience. Participants worked across emergency, internal medicine, surgery, and other departments. Nurses demonstrated a significant mean score of 1.84 in knowledge regarding drug preparation practices and a score of 1.74 in knowledge regarding drug administration, both indicating satisfactory understanding but with variability across departments. Novelty: This study provides specific data on nurses' knowledge in Basra hospitals, a region that has not been extensively studied in the context of medication management errors. Implications: These findings suggest that while nurses possess adequate knowledge of drug preparation and administration, continued education and training, especially for less experienced nurses, may further enhance patient safety. The study highlights the need for targeted interventions in Basra to address gaps in clinical practice and reduce medication errors. Highlights: Medication errors directly affect patient outcomes and treatment effectiveness. Nurses’ knowledge varies by experience and department in Basra hospitals. Continuous training improves medication safety and patient care quality. Keywords: Nursing knowledge, medication errors, drug preparation, drug administration, Basra hospitals.

Abstract

The current study aims to determine the effect of the dye on the liver morphology of male rabbits. The coloring substance is considered toxic when exposed to it for periods and remains inside the body. The study’s results showed a significant effect on liver enzymes, thus affecting liver histology. The liver enzymes AST, ALP, and ALT increased, 38.514 +0.99 44.770 +0.105, and 50.758 + 0.882, respectively. These are considered indicators of liver damage, which is reflected in its functions Highlights: Dye exposure significantly affects liver morphology in male rabbits. Elevated AST, ALP, and ALT indicate liver damage. Histological changes reflect impaired liver function. Keywords: toluene, liver, kidney, AST, ALP, ALT, and Liver tissue

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine how hydrocortisone affects a few blood parameters in female rabbits. Ten local rabbits were split into two equal and random groups. As a control, the first group was employed. The second group received daily intramuscular injections of hydrocortisone at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg B.W. Blood serum was collected every day from the first day and evaluated for total cholesterol, HDL (high-density lipoprotein), LDL (low-density lipoprotein), TG (triglycerides), and total protein after five weeks. The findings demonstrated that hydrocortisone reduced total protein and cholesterol.
