Background: Nurse to patient's ratio having great effect on quality of patients care provided especially patient's safety. Aim: This study aimed to determine the effect of nurse patient's ratio on patient‟s safety. Research design: descriptive, correlational research design was used. Setting: The study was conducted at Assiut Fever Hospital (Isolation, Hemodialysis and Health insurance units). Subject: 55 nurses were observed. Tools : Personal data sheet and patient's safety observational check list were used. Results: Nurses shortage appear in dialysis unit followed by health insurance unit and the highest percentage of shortage appear in isolation unit (53.4%, 61.5%, and 72%). Nurse patient's ratio have positive relation with nurses‟ application of general and medication safety standards in morning shift (0.748, 0.778) respectively. There is a positive relation between the nurse patient's ratio in evening shift (100%), but in night shift was (98.2%) for not met general patient safety standards and 100% for medication safety standards Conclusion: There were statistically significant differences between nurses‟ application of patient's safety standards dimensions and nurse patient's ratio in the three shifts Recommendation: Developing strategies to use nurse patient's ratio effectively and provide continuous training for nurses about national patient's safety standards.

Background: The problem-solving process is a complex procedure that requires the integration of multiple skills. A positive work climate is considered essential for ensuring an organization’s sustainability. Aim of the study: investigate the effect of work climate on problem-solving skills among teaching staff members and their assistants at the Faculty of Nursing Assiut University. Subject and method: A cross-sectional, descriptive correlational design was utilized, involving 212 participants selected through purposive sampling. Data collection tools included a personal characteristics questionnaire, the Problem-Solving Scale (32 items across 8 dimensions), and the Work Climate Scale (39 items across 11 dimensions). Results: Findings revealed that 21.7% of staff showed high problem-solving skills versus 15.6% of assistants. Additionally, 45.3% of staff perceived a highly positive climate compared to 32.1% of assistants. Significant associations were found between problem-solving skills and personal factors such as age, gender, experience, and residence (p = 0.000). Conclusion: The study concluded that teaching staff demonstrated slightly higher levels of problem-solving skills and more positive perceptions of work climate compared to assistants. Personal characteristics like gender, experience, and residence significantly affect problem-solving skills and perceptions of work climate among nursing faculty and assistants. Recommendation: The study recommends targeted training, inclusive leadership strategies, and regular evaluation of organizational interventions to enhance problem-solving skills and foster a positive work environment within academic nursing settings.

Background: communication is essential element in providing patient health care services. SBAR shift reports are utilized to ensure communicating patient’s information briefly without unimportant details. Aim: Evaluate nurse's perception about situation, background, assessment, recommendation and patient’s safety. Study design: the study was performed using descriptive design. Setting: the research performed at Sohag Cancer Center. Subject: involved of 50 nurse's works at inpatients department Tools: Tool (I) consists of two parts Part (1): Personal data sheet which gathered data about: gender, age, and years of experience, educational qualification, and marital status. Part (2): Self administer questionnaire about Nurse’s perception related to situation, background, assessment, and recommendation. It included 25 multiple choice questions. Tool (II): patient’s safety audit checklist, the tool consists of 17 items with sub-items covering general patient’s safety goal. Results: all nurses had unsatisfactory knowledge score (100.0%) and no patient’s safety activity (25). Conclusion: nurses have low knowledge score about SBAR shift report and no activity in relation to patient’s safety goals Recommendations: implementing inservices training program on SBAR shift report applications, and further studies investigating SBAR shift report format on nurses productivity and nurses, patient satisfaction

Background: High quality Patients care can achieve only through accurate and concise transfer of patient data, information through SBAR format to ensure patient's safety Aim: Research aim to assess the effect of SBAR inservices training program on patient's safety. Research design: A quasi-experimental research design. Setting: the present study was performed at Sohag Cancer Center. Subject: Consisted of 50 nurse's works at inpatients department. Tools: consist of I): SBAR knowledge questionnaire which containing:- Part I: Personal data sheet. Part II: Situation, Background, Assessment, and Recommendation sheet. II): Patient’s safety audit checklist. III): SBAR practice observational checklist. Results: The study illustrated that the highest percentage of nurses had unsatisfactory knowledge score for three items, in pre-program phase but satisfactory, in immediate post while decline in follow-up phase to be (92%, 94%, 94%) (100%, 100%, 100%) (80%, 100%, 82%) respectively. The highest percentage of nurses had inadequate performance in pre-program phase but adequate in immediate post and follow-up phase, with no activities (25) of patient’s safety in pre-program phase but established activity in immediate post(65) and follow-up(61) phase. Conclusion: There are significant statistical improvements of nurses′ knowledge and practice of SBAR shift report for nurses in the immediate post and follow-up phase, with significant improvements in patients' safety. Recommendations: Supervising nurses to ensure application of SBAR format, and Add SBAR format to Nursing Administration course curriculum at nursing faculty.

Abstract Background: Rapid integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into healthcare is reshaping clinical practice, nurses must acquire updated knowledge and skills. Understanding nurses perceived challenges, and enabling factors is essential to ensure effective use of AI. Aim of the Study: Assess nurses’ knowledge, perceived challenges, and enabling factors related to the integration of AI in nursing at AlRajhy Hospital. Subjects and Methods: A descriptive correlational design was employed with a convenience sample of 280 nurses. Data were collected using a validated, self-administered questionnaire comprising three tools: the first assessed nurses personal and job characteristics data, and knowledge regarding AI in healthcare services; the second addressed perceived challenges; and the third focused on enabling factors supporting AI integration. Results: The findings revealed that 66.8% of nurses had a satisfactory level of AI knowledge. Ethical concerns ranked highest among perceived challenges 5.12 ± 0.88, while education and training emerged as the most significant enabling factor 23.88 ± 5.57. Significant associations were observed between knowledge levels and both perceived challenges (negative correlation) and enabling factors (positive correlation). Personal and job-characteristics such as age, education, and years of experience also had a notable impact on these relationships. Conclusion: Higher levels of knowledge were associated with fewer perceived challenges and greater recognition of enabling factors, emphasizing the importance of bridging the gap between challenges and enabler in AI integration within nursing. Recommendations: Structured AI training programs should be implemented, targeting new employed nurses or nurses with lower educational qualifications.
