Professor Sameh Eltaybani’s research lab focuses on improving patient safety and quality of care in critical and long-term care settings, with a strong emphasis on nursing practice, organizational systems, and cultural contexts in healthcare. The lab investigates nursing errors, staff burnout, and care quality in intensive and long-term care units, while also exploring e-learning implementation and palliative care integration in resource-limited and culturally diverse environments such as Egypt and the broader Arab world. A central theme is the development of context-specific, low-cost, and sustainable interventions to strengthen healthcare systems through education, policy reform, and workforce well-being.
Figures are computed from collected data and may differ slightly.
Targeting error-liable times in the ICU, such as mid-evening and mid-night shifts, along with improved supervision and adequate staff reallocation, might tackle the incidence and seriousness of nursing errors. Development of individualized nursing interventions for patients with low health literacy and patients in isolation might create more meaningful dialogue for ICU health care safety.
All reported recommendations are organisational issues. Improvement and better organisation of human and non-human resources is a priority issue to prevent or minimize nursing errors. Policy modification, education and training, and likeness minimization are relatively cheap, easy-to-implement strategies to tackle the occurrence of nursing errors in developing countries. Staff nurses should be actively involved in policy reform. Patient safety education should be supported by adopting modern tec
Staff nurses' burnout is a significant determinant of care quality in long-term care wards, implying that organizations that implement burnout reducing strategies may see greater benefits in patient outcomes. A large ward size was significantly associated with better care outcomes-specifically, low rates of pneumonia. Future research needs to determine feasible quality improvement measures in small-scale long-term care facilities, and to provide more comprehensive insights on ward-level variable
Students are in more need of training on e-learning than educators, and this training is a must before any attempt to undertake online exams. The online survey is a preferred methodology among Egyptian nursing educators and students. The provided SWOT analysis may help administrators best implement and support e-learning during infection outbreaks.
The literature on the situation of palliative and end-of-life care in the Arab and Islamic world, including Egypt, is limited and does not present a clear picture of the cultural context. This report aims to portray the palliative and end-of-life care situation in Egypt, focusing on the nursing viewpoint. First, we describe health- and illness-related cultural, religious, and ethical issues. Second, we present an overview of the healthcare and nursing system in Egypt. Third, we discuss the situa
Palliative care education should begin in nursing schools and extend through clinical in-services. Guidelines should be developed to maximize staff collaboration and the utilization of chaplains in ICUs.
The PEOL Care Index is a comprehensive, comprehensible, content valid, and reliable instrument to assess the PEOL care education-practice-competence triad among ICU nurses. Construct and criterion validities need to be confirmed in future studies. Applicability of the PEOL Care Index in different settings and cultures needs to be examined.
The QIs-LTC developed in the current study are generic and client- and family-centered. They encompass objective and subjective information and would facilitate standardized monitoring if adopted and comparison between LTC settings, including home care. In addition, future research directives are outlined. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2023; 23: 383-394.

The data collection is ongoing. The findings would guide policy-makers and healthcare organizations to reform their protocols for the best interest of facilities, staff, residents, and residents' families.
