The Beneficial Effects of Emotional Intelligence Training for Critical Care Nurses on Job Burnout: A Quasi-Experimental Study.

Background: Critical care nurses are at especially high risk of burnout. Burnout is a maladaptive response to work-related stress that is associated with negative consequences for patients. Emotional intelligence enables nurses to make better decisions and manage their patients more effectively. It impacts positively on the quality of care. This study aimed to assess the effect of emotional intelligence training on job burnout for nurses at the critical care units. Materials and Methods: A quasi-experimental study was conducted at two critical care units: the Cardiac Surgery Academy and El Demerdash Hospital, both of which are affiliated to Ain Shams University. The subjects were 200 critical care nurses. Each group of nurses trained for five sessions, each lasting about two hours, in the form of seminars. Researchers collected data through self-administered questionnaires containing three parts (demographic data of nurses, Wong and Law's Emotional Intelligence Scale and Maslach burnout inventory). Results: For emotional intelligence, the mean (SD) score of studied nurses pre-intervention was 19.95 (6.30), while post intervention it was 36.4 (9.57), a significant difference (t = 14.01 p = <0.01). Regarding burnout, the mean score of studied nurses pre-intervention was 59.61 (19.58), while post intervention it was 89.90 (19.60), (t = 16.05 p = <0.01). The regression model explains 67% of the variation in total emotional intelligence detected through R2 value 0.67 (F = 12.980 p = <0.001). Conclusions: The present study revealed that emotional intelligence training had positive effects on nurses' experience of burnout at work. Providing educational training programs about emotional intelligence for newly hired nurses is recommended.

Identification Level of Awareness and Knowledge of Emirati Men about HPV.

One of the most frequent cancers that affects males globally is cervical cancer (CC) that kills hundreds or even thousands of women each year, particularly in underdeveloped nations. The study focuses on human papillomavirus (HPV) that contributes to cervical cancer (CC) development. In the majority of Arab nations, there seems to be no public education or vaccination programs. In research, methodological rigor is employed to find solutions to both theoretical and practical difficulties. This research aims to assess the knowledge and awareness of the HPV vaccination among Emirati men. Results of the research showed that Emirati males had a poor understanding of HPV and its vaccination. According to the findings of this research, Emirati males lack a basic understanding of HPV, which necessitates the implementation of national HPV education initiatives. We have identified several critical knowledge gaps that can be filled in the future regarding HPV infection and vaccination.

Health Care System View of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) Vaccine Acceptability by Emirati Men.

This is the most frequent sexually transmitted illness on the planet, and both men and women are equally vulnerable. HPV is associated with a broad variety of female disorders, including 99 percent of all cervical cancer cases. Specifically, the goal and contributions of this study are to determine Emirati men's opinions about the HPV vaccination, specifically whether they would use it themselves or allow their female relatives to use the vaccine. To collect the primary data, a statistical cross-sectional survey was conducted. This quantitative study was conducted using primary sources of data. A questionnaire survey with a sample size of 390 participants was used to collect data from 400 individuals. Male university students in the United Arab Emirati men have a weak grasp of HPV and are averse to vaccination (Ortashi et al., 2013). The percentage of Emirati men who accept the HPV vaccination is 37%. A total of 40.3% of the respondents opted not to participate in the survey at all. Eighty-six percent of the women surveyed had heard of cervical cancer, and one-third believed that they were at risk in the future. Twenty-five percent of those surveyed said that the HPV vaccination was safe, while 26% said it was unsafe. Respondents were just 3.1 percent vaccinated, and their family members were only 87% not vaccinated.
