Sample: A simple random sample of 42 nurses was included. Data collection tools were Tool (I): Structured interview questionnaire about personal data and work-related factors. Tool (II): Knowledge assessment questionnaire. Tool (III): Multifactorial attitude of health care professionals toward older people questionnaire, Tool (IV): Senior-friendly hospital criteria checklist. Results: The mean scores of participants’ knowledge and attitude regarding elderly care had a high statistically significant difference (t = 29.806, p = 0.001) in pre- and post-training programs. More than half (59.5%) of the participant nurses precepted their hospital as a senior-friendly hospital with a strong positive significant relation between knowledge and participant nurses’ perception of senior-friendly hospital criteria (r=0.575, p=0.002).

This study investigated the perception of machine and deep learning among academic teachingstaff at Assiut University's Faculty of Nursing. Defining machine learning as a subset of artificial intelligence and deep learning as multi-layered neural networks, the study employeda descriptive cross-sectional design. A convenience sample of teaching and assistant teachingstaff completed questionnaires about their personal and job characteristics, as well as their understanding of machine and deep learning. The results showed a significant difference inperception: The vast majority of assistant teaching staff reported satisfactory understanding, compared to more than half of teaching staff reporting unsatisfactory understanding(P=0.001). The study concluded that assistant teaching staff demonstrated a significantlyhigher level of satisfaction and understanding of machine and deep learning comparedtoteaching staff, with statistically significant differences across all measured dimensions. Theresearchers recommended implementing educational programs for professors and assistant professors to improve their knowledge of these technologies, and for educational institutions to use this information to inform hiring, training, and evaluation practices, as well as theapplication of these technologies in the teaching process.

Background: Intramedullary nailing is a common method of treatment for femoral shaft fractures. Aim: To evaluate impact of nursing rehabilitation protocol on complications and lower extremity function of intramedullary nailing of femoral shaft fractures patients. Research design: quasi-experimental research design. Setting: Trauma unit and orthopedic outpatient clinics at Assiut University Hospital. Sample: A convenient sample of one hundred patients aged 18–75 years old and from both sexes with intramedullary nails was divided into two equal groups (50 for each group). Tools: I, "A structured interview-based femoral shaft intramedullary nailing questionnaire," II, "Postoperative complications assessment questionnaire following femoral intramedullary nailing surgery," and III, "Lower Extremity Functional Scale." Results: There was a statistically significant difference between the study and the control group regarding the occurrence of some complications and the total mean score of the lower extremity functional scale during follow up periods after application of the nursing rehabilitation protocol post-intramedullary nailing (p-value = 0.001**, 0.005**, respectively). Conclusion: Nursing rehabilitation protocol has a positive effect on reducing complications and improving lower extremity function after intramedullary nailing. Recommendations: Rehabilitation protocol is recommended to be an integral part of the preoperative nursing teaching for patients undergoing intramedullary nailing surgery, and a booklet should be available at the trauma unit and orthopedic outpatient clinic as a reference.
