Leg or foot amputation is the removal of a leg, foot or toes from the body. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of applying for a rehabilitation program on knowledge, the physical and psychosocial function of patients had lower limb amputation. A convenience sample of sixty adult patients divided randomly into two groups (study group and control group). First tool "patient' assessment sheet" second tool "psychosocial adaptation tool" Results concluded that; (100%) patients in both groups had an unsatisfactory level of knowledge about lower limb amputation at the time of admission. While post-operative and at the time of follow-up; control group still had an unsatisfactory level of knowledge and most of the stud y group patients became having a satisfactor y level of knowledge. Conclusion: providing written program for patients was much more effective on the outcome and decrease complications of patients who had lower limb amputation than those patients in the control group who received resident's oral instructions. Recommendations: a nurse rehabilitator is of great value in both vascular surgery department and the outpatient clinic and a rehabilitation program is of great importance for the amputated patients.

Abstract: Cancer is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Several detrimental symptoms experienced by cancer patients due to disease and treatment adversely affect their quality of life. Objectives: To evaluate factors affecting the quality of life (QOL) among cancer patients with solid tumors and at different chemotherapy (CT) cycles Methods: A total of 205cancer patients were included. With some modification, the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (QoL) Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) was used to measure QoL in the student patients. Results: There was no correlation between the QoL and variables such as age, sex, marital status, duration of disease, economic conditions, and occupational function. Furthermore, no correlation was found between QoL and the patients’ educational level (literate or illiterate). Nevertheless, a significant difference was found between the level of QoL in patients with ≤ 2 CT cycles and/or with 3-5 cycles (p 0.001). Conclusion: This study suggests that encouraging cancer patients to complete a CT course plays an important role in the treatment outcome and the (Q o L) in cancer patients undergoing CT.
