Abstract: There is no doubt that nurses as direct caregivers, play a crucial role in the planning and implementation of patient care. Documentation of the nursing activities is also critical for the effective communication among the members of the healthcare team. Thus, the importance of quality nursing documentation cannot be over emphasized. The much practiced, traditional paper-based documentation, however, fails to meet the required standards of nursing documentation. As a result, the use of technology to document patient data is at the forefront of healthcare discussions. As the inclination towards computerized health records continues, nurses will need to bring solid informatics skills to their workplace. The study evaluates the effect of electronic..........

Abstract: Background; Mother's milk odor stimulates sucking that is necessary to start oral feeding and improve this inherent and rhythmic behavior so the transitional period from gavage to oral feeding. Aim; the aim of this study was to assess the effect of breast milk odor on weight gain, first breastfeeding time and length of hospital stay in premature infants. Design; the study utilized quasi-experimental research design. Sample; a total of 92 premature infants were included in study (46 as study group and46 as control group). Methods; the study was conducted at neonatal intensive care unit of University Children's Hospital in Assuit, Egypt. Demographic profiles were extracted from the infants' medical records. A checklist of recorded data from the same study was made available. Results; The findings of the study indicated that the mother's breast sucking was more effective and initiated over a shorter time in the study group compared to the control group. Olfactory stimulation of breast milk odor strengthening feeding competence........

Abstract: Aim: This study is a report of a review of the qualitative evidence to highlight the nurses' perception (student and staff) of reflective writing and its impact on self-awareness. Background: Reflection is a term that is widely used in nursing practice. The qualified nurses are required to be familiar with the concept of reflection and be able to apply it in their practice to enhance their personal and professional development. However, reflection is rare used in practice or in the educational field in Saudi Arabia; therefore the findings in this review could encourage the nursing leaders and educators to introduce reflection as mandatory practice for nurses in Saudi Arabia. Design: Qualitative systematise review..........

Abstract: A literature review is defined by Hart (2018) as an analysis, critical evaluation, and synthesis of existing knowledge relevant to a research problem. The aim of this chapter is to expand our understanding about disease knowledge and treatment adherence among adult patients with thalassemia. Previous studies on this topic were examined to identify gaps in the nursing literature and present what is already known about relevant issues from a nursing perspective. Data Search Strategy The strategy used to search the literature was designed to capture published theoretical and empirical articles related to disease..........
