Aim:  Was to identify the modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors and the adverse consequences of falling among elderly people. Methodology: A descriptive study was conducted on 384 elderly participants at Minia governorate, Egypt. Tools: A structuredquestionnaire, Timed Up and Go Test Scale, Katz Scale, and Mini-Nutritional Assessment questionnaire were used. Results: Findings showed that 45.6% of the participants were at risk of falling based on the performed timed up and go test and 63.5 % of them had a falling history. Female gender, age, and chronic diseases were the main non-modifiable risk factors, while the detected modifiable factors of falling included; absence of toilet seats (95.9 %), absence of grab bars (76.2%), poor lighting (56.6%), and slippery floor (54.1%). Additionally, 93.4% had a lack of assistive devices, inactivity (81.6%), anemia (65.2%), and poor vision (50.8%). Likewise, 73.0%, 35.2%, 26.6%, and 100% of the fallers reported back pain, cut wounds, fractures, and fear respectivelyas adverse consequences. Conclusion: Hazardous environment, declined physical activities, walking problems, lifestyle, malnutrition, and body mass index were the most reported modifiable risk factors of falls.   Recommendations: Early detection of the modifiable risk factors is essential for preventing falling and its adverse consequences among elderly people.}, keywords = {Keywords: Consequences,Elderly,falling,Modifiable,Non-modifiable & Risk factors}, url = {https://asnj.journals.ekb.eg/article_161399.html}, eprint = {https://asnj.journals.ekb.eg/article_161399_bf1c70a22dbeb2adf370aa0ff8e1322d.pdf} } @article { author = {Ghaly, Asmaa and Mahmoud Shoukhba, Neama}, title = {Factors Determining Choice of Delivery Place Among Women of Childbearing Age: A Cross-Sectional Study}, journal = {Assiut Scientific Nursing Journal}, volume = {9}, number = {24}, pages = {179-190}, year = {2021}, publisher = {Assiut University, Faculty of Nursing}, issn = {2314-8845}, eissn = {2682-3799}, doi = {10.21608/asnj.2021.63248.1131}, abstract = {Abstract Background Childbirth is a deep psychological experience that has a long-term effect on women's health. Therefore, pregnant women need to make an informed decision about where and how they will give birth. Aim of the study  this study was carried out to explore the factors determining choice of delivery place among women of childbearing age. Subjects & Method A convenience sample of 200 postpartum women were recruited by simple random sampling technique from the eight districts in Alexandria Governorate. Two tools were used for data collection. Results More than one-half (58%) of women had fair level of knowledge about the delivery place compared to 42% who had poor knowledge. The highest percentage of them (34%) preferred to have their future delivery at private hospitals followed by 27% of them who preferred private clinics. Conclusion Based on the findings of the present study, it could be concluded that slightly less than three – fifths (58%) of the studied subjects had fair knowledge level regarding the delivery places. Additionally, 58% of them had chosen the hospitals whether private or governmental as a place for future delivery due to the availability of health care providers and good supplies and facilities.  Moreover, they will choose the most affordable hospital available. A positive correlation was found between the knowledge about delivery places and age, education level and residence. Recommendation Continuous monitoring of women's satisfaction with all aspects of care during delivery could aid in improvement of the quality of services and ultimately improve the women's attitude toward the different delivery places.}, keywords = {Keywords: Factors choice,Delivery place,Childbearing age,Alexandria governorate}, url = {https://asnj.journals.ekb.eg/article_161398.html}, eprint = {https://asnj.journals.ekb.eg/article_161398_430391ed07f38d8a1b3e6932b754b8b8.pdf} } @article { author = {Sayed, Magda and Elalem, Omaima and Elmowafy, Reda and Wahba, Nadia}, title = {Elderly Mistreatment from Family Caregivers: The hidden Factor of Elderly abuse}, journal = {Assiut Scientific Nursing Journal}, volume = {9}, number = {24}, pages = {191-200}, year = {2021}, publisher = {Assiut University, Faculty of Nursing}, issn = {2314-8845}, eissn = {2682-3799}, doi = {10.21608/asnj.2021.68547.1148}, abstract = {Abstract Background: Elder mistreatment is a well-recognized public health issue with complex underlying factors.
