This descriptive correlational study describes the translation process and psychometric testing of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The PSQI has been successfully translated into Arabic back-translated English by 10 bilingual translators. Then is tested in a sample 35 healthy bilinguals.The internal consistency reliability for Global demonstrates borderline acceptability (Cronbach’s alpha = .65). further supported moderate to high correlations between five components global score ( r...
Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this study was to translate the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) into Arabic (Fusha dialect), and obtain preliminary reliability validity estimates for translated version. Background: populations experience sleep problems that interfere with their vitality quality life. ISI established screen insomnia in both clinical research situations. Design: This used a descriptive correlational design. using back‐translation method compared three other measures: Pittsburgh...
Abstract Objectives The objective of this study is to assess quality nursing work life (QNWL) and related factors among nurses working in emergency room (ER). Methods A cross-sectional descriptive design was employed. Data were collected from a convenient sample ER Eligible participants required complete demographic variables sheet, the Brooks Quality Nursing Work Survey (BQNWLS). Results total (186) participated study. Study reported BQNWL mean score (M = 140.15, SD 28.34) indicating...
The aim was to evaluate nurses' self-efficacy, confidence, and nurse-patient interaction during caring of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).A cross-sectional design online survey used a Self-efficacy scale, Self-confidence Caring scale: 23-item Version-Nurse (CNPI-23 N).A sample 120 nurses participated in the current study. results showed that participants had moderate level self-confidence (M = 28.84 (SD 7.7), M 47.41 9.0), 93.59 16.3), respectively). Positive relationships...
Globally, nearly one-third of workplace violence (WPV) occurs in the health sector. Exposure to WPV among Jordanian nurses has been widely speculated be underreported. Understanding factors contributing and their consequences is limited. This study aimed examine explore suggestions for reducing working peripheral hospitals. descriptive, cross-sectional included 431 nurses. Data were collected using a self-report instrument between December 2022 June 2023. A modified version ILO/ICN/WHO/PSI...
The electrocardiogram (ECG) is the primary tool in diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, other clinical conditions, both cardiac and noncardiac originated pathologies, may result ECG tracing AMI. This lead to an incorrect diagnosis, exposing patients unnecessary tests potentially harmful therapeutic procedures. aim this report increase still insufficient awareness clinicians from multiple disciplines, regarding different syndromes, noncardiac, associated with abnormalities...
Fatigue is the most reported and distressing symptom among patients with cancer. However, no questionnaire that measures fatigue interference life has been translated into Arabic.This study aimed to translate validate Arabic version of Brief Inventory (BFI-A).The BFI was using forward-backward translation technique. This cross-sectional collected data from cancer through a self-administered included BFI-A, Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Zung Depression Scale (ZDS), MD Anderson Symptom total...
AbstractIn previous studies, the chemokine CCL21 has shown biological activities that include T cell, natural killer (NK) and dendritic cell (DC) chemoattraction. The goal of this study was to determine effects administering orthotopic mammary tumors in terms impact on tumor growth rate, immune infiltration primary tumor, survival. We found a single intratumoral administration slowed increased by cells, NK DCs. also prolonged survival tumor-bearing mice. Furthermore, mice received...
No consensus exists on using a specific screening tool to assess malnutrition in critically ill patients. Thus, we assessed intensive care unit (ICU) patients by comparing similarity of results between the Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST) and Phase Angle (PhA) measured Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis. A cross-sectional observational study 321 examined their nutritional status at least 1 week after ICU admission MUST, PhA, anthropometric measurements. Diagnoses Acute Physiologic...
Abstract Background There is still no concrete guidance for assessing malnutrition risk in the critically ill. Nutrition Risk Critically Ill (NUTRIC) score undertaken cautiously compared with other validated tools such as bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). This study aimed to assess ill using NUTRIC and its congruency BIA. Methods In this cross‐section observational study, intensive care unit (ICU) patients from various etiologies were assessed earlier addition prognostic markers (Acute...

Behçet disease (BD) is a multisystem disorder, with vasculitis as its underlying pathological process, in contrast to the classic triad of recurrent oral and genital ulcerations, uveitis. Vascular involvement BD includes venous thrombosis, arterial occlusion, pulmonary artery aortic aneurysm formation. Cardiac rare often obscure. It intracardiac thrombi formation, associated poor prognosis. Our objectives are describe two cases BD, complicated vascular cardiac involvement, raise awareness...
A variety of diseases, other than the common Lev–Lenègre disease, are associated with cardiac conduction system abnormalities. These include acute processes, such as rheumatic fever, and disorders, sarcoidosis, connective tissue neoplasms, bacterial endocarditis abscess formation. The purpose study is to raise awareness these rare conditions. We present 10 adult patients (4 males 6 females) a mean age 47 years (range: 19–69), various diseases heart block, who needed temporary or permanent...
