Abstract: Chronic bronchitis is a common condition with significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Clinical Pathways (CPs) encourage the implementation of evidence based practice; improve clinical processes by reducing risks and disparities in the provision of health services and reduce duplication by using a standardized approach to clinical management. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of clinical pathway implementation as an essential part on health outcomes of patients with chronic bronchitis. Research design: A quasi-experimental research design was utilized in this study. Setting: The current study was performed in the Chest Department at Benha University Hospital. Subjects: The study included (60) adult patients with chronic bronchitis, they were recruited equally into 2 groups (control & study groups 30 for each). Tools.........

Abstract: Introduction: Patients' satisfaction with physiotherapy management of low back pain has been studied in various settings. However, knowledge about patients' satisfaction with health-care provision in the field of physiotherapy from the Nigerian setting is underreported. The purpose of this study was to examine a qualitative study into patients' satisfaction with physiotherapy management of low back pain in Nigeria. Methods: A total of 60 patients with low back pain were enrolled into the study. A focus-group discussion of three-four participants lasting for 30 minutes was conducted. Interviews were carried out by the lead researcher and two other colleagues. Transcribed audiotapes and field notes were taken to record all verbal and non-verbal behaviors. Content analysis was used...........

Abstract: An objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) is a modern type of examination often used in health sciences. It is designed to test clinical skill performance and competence in skills such as communication, clinical examination, medical procedures / prescription, etc. and allows them to understand the key factors that drive the medical decision-making process, and challenges. OSCE reveals the errors in case-handling and provides an open space for improved decision-making, based on evidence-based practice for real-world responsibilities. OSCE is introduced by Indian Nursing Council for the evaluation of students undergoing Nurse Practitioner Critical Care..........
