Compliance of health care workers to adhere to correct hand hygiene is reported to be poor in many countries although the techniques involved in hand hygiene are simple. This study yielded interesting findings regarding knowledge and behavior among a sample of 30 nurses in Al-assad university hospital in Lattakia. Nurses received a self administered paper questionnaire on knowledge and practices of hand hygiene at their workplace and were observed during their work. Only (14 %) of participants had very good knowledge about hand hygiene, with a significant difference in the level of knowledge according to the level of education as respondents with university degree were more likely to correctly identify the proper way of hand hygiene compared to those nurses who have a lower level of education. On the other hand, the overall hand hygiene compliance among nurses is 30%. Some of the key parameters associated with noncompliance have been clearly identified. Hand washing hygiene is a cheap and primary infection control procedure. Therefore, the study suggests some improvement by continuous education during shifts, seminars and posters, ensuring the availability of adequate hand washing utilities like soap, water taps, drying tissues and reducing work load to improve nurse to patient ratio.

Research summary
تتناول هذه الدراسة التي أجرتها الدكتورة سوسن غزال في مشفى الأسد الجامعي في اللاذقية موضوع معرفة وسلوكيات الممرضين المتعلقة بتقنية غسيل الأيدي. تم توزيع استبيان ورقي ذاتي على عينة من 30 ممرضًا وممرضة لتقييم معرفتهم وممارساتهم في هذا المجال، وتمت ملاحظتهم أثناء العمل. أظهرت النتائج أن 14% فقط من المشاركين لديهم معرفة جيدة جدًا بتقنية غسيل الأيدي، مع وجود فروقات دالة إحصائيًا حسب مستوى التعليم، حيث كان خريجو الجامعات أكثر معرفة بالطريقة الصحيحة مقارنة بزملائهم ذوي التعليم الأدنى. بلغت نسبة الالتزام العام بتقنية غسيل الأيدي بين الممرضين 30%. حددت الدراسة بعض العوامل المرتبطة بعدم الالتزام، مثل نقص الموارد اللازمة كالصابون والماء والمناشف الورقية، وزيادة عبء العمل. اقترحت الدراسة تحسينات من خلال التعليم المستمر أثناء الورديات، الندوات، والملصقات، وضمان توفر الموارد الكافية، وتقليل عبء العمل لتحسين نسبة الممرضين إلى المرضى.
Critical review
دراسة نقدية: على الرغم من أهمية الدراسة في تسليط الضوء على مشكلة حيوية في مجال الرعاية الصحية، إلا أن هناك بعض النقاط التي يمكن تحسينها. أولاً، حجم العينة صغير جدًا (30 ممرضًا فقط)، مما قد يؤثر على تعميم النتائج. ثانيًا، الدراسة اعتمدت على استبيان ذاتي، مما قد يؤدي إلى تحيز في الإجابات. كان من الأفضل استخدام طرق متعددة لجمع البيانات مثل المقابلات الشخصية أو الملاحظات المباشرة لفترات أطول. ثالثًا، لم تتطرق الدراسة بشكل كافٍ إلى العوامل النفسية والاجتماعية التي قد تؤثر على سلوكيات الممرضين. وأخيرًا، كان من المفيد تضمين توصيات أكثر تفصيلًا حول كيفية تنفيذ التحسينات المقترحة بشكل عملي وفعال في بيئة العمل.

The empty sella syndrome (ESS) is an asymptomatic radiological syndrome, affecting 6% of post-menopausal women and can be seen in all ages. The results were similar with other studies in many respects, such as a wide age spectrum including childre n, and the occurrence of diabetes insipidus in 5.97%. The results of our study were discordant with other studies with respect to hyperprolactinemia which reached 58.2% in our study (in other studies did not exceed 33.7%).

We did not record CSF rhinorrhea nor were visual disturbances seen in our cohort. Patients received symptomatic treatment and none were referred to surgery.
