Objectives: evaluate severity of complications of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) and open surgery for large renal stones. Patients: 150 adult patients with renal stones more than 2 cm were distributed into two equal groups. Group A had PNL and group B had open surgery. Design: Quasi- experimental research design. Setting Assiut Urology and Nephrology Hospital. Tools: (1) Patient assessment sheet and (2) Clavien-Dindo grading system for classification of surgical complications. Results: No significant relation between the both group regarding complications, stone clearance and need for blood transfusion, while mean hospital stays showed significant relation between the both group. As a group (A) stay only 3.7±1.2 days in hospital after operation while group B stay longer time, 6.1±0.53 days after operation.Conclusions: Open renal surgery for large sized stones still has its role in selected cases with stone clearance and complications rates comparable to PNL. Recommendation: The choice between PNL and open surgery for renal stones should be individualized for each patient.}, keywords = {Renal Stone,Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy & Open Renal Stone Surgery}, url = {https://asnj.journals.ekb.eg/article_60390.html}, eprint = {https://asnj.journals.ekb.eg/article_60390_c34d3ce91adf38beb1f8db1ffb032fbc.pdf} } @article { author = {Mohamed, Eman and Ahmed, Nabila and Khair, Fatma}, title = {Factors Influencing Using Self-Directed Learning among Technical Nurses Students in Maternal &Neonatal Nursing Course}, journal = {Assiut Scientific Nursing Journal}, volume = {4}, number = {8}, pages = {175-181}, year = {2016}, publisher = {Assiut University, Faculty of Nursing}, issn = {2314-8845}, eissn = {2682-3799}, doi = {10.21608/asnj.2016.60397}, abstract = {Background: Research on nursing students showed that adopting self-directive learning of effort, time, and study environment can positively influence academic achievements for undergraduate students and use of self-learning packages.

Included two groups; the 1st included 50 students & the 2nd 7 instructors during the 1st semester (October 2013/2014) from the pre-mentioned institute. Sample type: a convenient sample Tools: Interviewing questionnaire sheet to assess samples characteristics'& Opinionnaire sheet to assess the students' and instructors'. Opinions regarding factors affecting using of self-directive learning. Results: all students and instructors have past knowledge and practice about the computer use, student's views includes 98% student's language abilities and 96% clarity aim of the package& clarity content are the most of important factors contribute to use self-directed learning, 100% of students recommended providing suitable time for package and100% of instructors recommended suitable time for package, procedures should be clear and interesting images, Institution administration, Program innovation, and availability of resources. Conclusion: Clarity of the topics, organization, student language level, teacher characteristics, academic abilities and availability of resources among factors can facilitating or hindering the use of self-directive learning approach.
