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.

Abstract
Background: Eating disorders (EDs) are a major public health issue faced by female students. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the educational program regarding eating disorders among Preparatory School Girls. Methods: The study employed a quasi-experimental research design.

Background: Promoting breast milk expression and cup feeding supports maternal and child health by reducing dependence on formulas, thereby minimizing associated health risks and financial costs. Objective(s): This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a nursing education program on breast milk expression and infant cup feeding among pregnant women. Methods: A quasi-experimental pre/post-test design study was conducted in two maternal and child health centers with 422 pregnant women. The study utilized an interview questionnaire assessing personal data, knowledge of breast milk expression and storage, and an observational checklist for expression steps and cup feeding. The educational program was developed based on a comprehensive literature review and delivered through group sessions (12–14 participants per session) using videos, printed handouts, and structured practical demonstrations with researcher-designed breast and infant models and sterile storage bottles. Immediate post-intervention assessment was performed to evaluate improvement in participants’ knowledge and reported practices. Results: Nearly half (46.9%) of participants were aged 25-35 years. Before the intervention, only 29.4% of the pregnant women were aware that breast milk can be stored, 1.9% knew the correct duration for storage at room temperature, and 4.0% were able to correctly label and store expressed milk. Practical skills were also lacking, with just 4.2% using the correct expression technique, 6.2% practicing proper hygiene, and only 4.5% tracking daily milk intake. Post-intervention, the total knowledge score significantly improved from 10.18 ± 5.14 to 19.11 ± 3.11 (p < 0.001). The mean score for breast milk expression steps increased from 3.35 ± 1.92 to 7.12 ± 1.42 (p < 0.001), while cup feeding practice scores rose from 3.92 ± 2.75 to 5.34 ± 1.08 (p < 0.001). Conclusion: The study highlights a significant improvement in the knowledge and practice of breast milk expression and cup feeding among pregnant women following the intervention. The total knowledge score, as well as the practice scores for expressing breast milk and cup feeding, showed a statistically significant increase post-test.
