Shunt infection continues to be the single most frustrating complication in case of CSF shunt insertion. Method: This retrospect active study was done during yea (1/9/2008 - 1/9/2009). The study design was retrospective explorer research design . Two tools were used to conduct this study. Tool one: "preoperative assessment sheet". This tool assess patient's condition in the preoperative period. Tool two:" postoperative assessment sheet". This tool assess patient's condition in the postoperative period. The main results: The finding of the current study revealed that the incidence of VP shunt infection was 20.8%. The preventive measures of VP shunt infection done by the critical care nurse such as prophylactic antibiotic, aseptic technique when handling shunt and during dressing, good skin preparation by antiseptic solution and mouth care were highly significant (P = 0.000***) in reducing VP shunt infection. The finding of the current study revealed that the most common organisms which caused VP shunt infection were staphylococci epidermidis and s. aurous. Conclusion: strict aseptic technique during caring of shunt, prophylactic antibiotic and standard nursing care have critical role in the prevention and reduction of shunt infection .

Egypt is one of the countries in the world where the problem of obesity has been nearing an epidemic level. Currently, nearly 70% of adult women and 48% of men in Egypt are overweight or obese. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the health education programme to control obesity among female employees at Assiut University. A quiz-experimental design was used to apply health education intervention. A convenient sampling technique was utilized. Data was collected using two tools, the first tool, self administered questionnaire it cover two parts, part one included socio-demographic. Part two consisted female employees' knowledge about nutrition and obesity) the second tool Anthropometric measurements (waist circumference weight, height, and BMI). The mean age was 45.60 ± 9.65. The results illustrated that about three quarters (74.0%) of the studied sample has poor knowledge in pre-test compares to only (12.0%) in post-test had poor knowledge. Also more than one quarter (26.0%) of the studied sample had satisfactory level of knowledge in pre-test, while in post-test more than half (54.0%) of them have the satisfactory level of knowledge. There is a significant difference in pre/post tests of female employees' knowledge. Conclusion the health education program has an effective role in improvement of knowledge about balanced diet and obesity. Also, recommended that Booklets of Arabic language about obesity and management of body weight should be available in library of faculties. Increase public awareness about balanced diet, nutritional needs in every age group.

Egypt is one of the countries where the problem of obesity has been nearing an epidemic level. Currently, nearly 70% of adult women and 48% of men in Egypt are overweight or obese. This matter should be taken seriously because it can burden the health care system and lower the quality of life. Aim of the study: To identify the relationship between quality of Life and obesity among female employee at Assiut University. Subject and Method: descriptive correlation design was utilized to carry out this study. Sample: The studied sample was consisted of 1000 female. Data were collected by using three tools; the first tool is self administered questionnaire includes socio-demographic characteristics of the studied sample. The second tool was an Anthropometric Measurements (weight, height and BMI) and the third tool was the World Health Organization Quality of life (WHOQOL-BREF). Results: the mean age was 36.97 ± 10.80. There was statistical significant difference between Socio-demographic characteristic such as age, marital status, educational level and obesity, also BMI effect on the three QOL domains (physical, psychological and social) while there was no significance differences with environmental aspects of QOL. Conclusion: Obesity has a negative effect on QOL among obese female employees. Recommendation: Awareness about nutritional needs and balanced diet should be increased for every age group through mass media. As well as developing a health education programs about balanced diet and prevention of obesity. Also regular exercise should be included within the daily routine activities of the female employees.
