Title: The predictive role of artificial intelligence applications in enhancing psychological flourishing & sustainable development among Fayoum University students Authors: Arzak Ewees; Bulut, Sefa; Hamza, Tarek; Elwakeel, Sayed Abstract: Purpose: This study examines the extent to which artificial intelligence (AI) applications predict psychological flourishing and sustainable development among Fayoum University students. It further explores gender differences in AI usage, flourishing levels, and sustainability orientations, as well as the interrelationships among the three variables. Methods: A quantitative correlational design was employed using validated scales measuring AI application use, psychological flourishing, and sustainable development. The sample consisted of 190 university students from Fayoum University (Egypt) there ages were between 20 and 25 years. The mean age was 22.54 years, with a standard deviation of 3.22 years. Data were analyzed using t-tests, Pearson’s correlation coefficients, and simple linear regression to test the study hypotheses. Results: Findings revealed no significant gender differences in AI application use, while significant differences were found in psychological flourishing and sustainable development in favor of male students. Significant positive correlations emerged among AI use, flourishing, and sustainability. Regression analyses showed that AI application use moderately predicted psychological flourishing (R² = 0.098) but strongly predicted sustainable development (R² = 0.604), indicating that AI plays a substantial role in shaping students’ sustainability-related behaviors. Conclusions: The study demonstrates that AI applications contribute meaningfully to enhancing students’ well-being and sustainability practices, with a stronger influence on sustainability outcomes. These findings underscore the growing relevance of AI-driven learning environments in promoting sustainable education and student development. Implications: The results highlight the need for integrating AI-based tools into higher education policies, fostering responsible AI use, and developing institutional initiatives that enhance students’ well-being and sustainability competencies.

Title: Enhancing Nurses' Competence in Spinal Cord Injury Management through Educational guidelines Authors: Asmaa Anise Hassan Abdelaal; Saad, Abeer; Amany Gamal Elgharieb Mohamed Elberdan Abstract: A spinal cord injury is a type of lesion to the spinal cord that can result in changes to its function, either permanently or temporarily. It produces long-term physical, psychological, and financial burden for patients. Nurses’ knowledge and practice has a substantial impact on patient outcomes. Aim of the study: To evaluate the effect of educational guidelines on enhancing nurses' competence in spinal cord injury management. Research Design: A quasi-experimental design was used to achieve the study aim. Study Settings: The study was applied in the neurological intensive care unit and neurology unit and neurology Outpatient Clinic at Sohag University Hospital. Subject: A convenient sample of (50) nurses was selected from the previously selected settings. Two tools for data collection: Tool I: Self-administered questionnaire; which included two parts; (1) Nurses’ demographic data and (2) Nurses’ knowledge regarding spinal cord injury, and Tool II: An observational checklist of nurses’ practices regarding spinal cord injury. Result: The current study revealed that there was a highly statistically significant difference in nurses’ knowledge and practice post- educational guidelines implementation compared to pre- educational guidelines implementation with (P= <0.05). Also, the study demonstrated that there was a highly statistically significant correlation between nurses’ knowledge and practice with (P= <0.001). Conclusion: The study concluded that educational guidelines implementation for nurses had a positive effect on guidelines on enhancing nurses' competence in spinal cord injury management with significant differences between pre and educational guidelines implementation. Recommendation: Develop a simplified illustrated and comprehensive Arabic booklet to be available for all nurses including the latest information about spinal cord injury, its therapeutic regimen, and how the patients can be managed and to improve their knowledge and practices.
