Objectives: To determine the impact of an educational program on nurses’ knowledge
and practices concerning neurogenic bladder rehabilitation for spinal cord injured persons
through a follow-up approach each two months post program implementation for six
months.
Methodology: "Follow-up" longitudinal design by using time series approach of data
analysis and the application of pre-post tests approach for the study and the control
groups. The study was carried out at Ibn Al-Kuff hospital for (SCI) in Baghdad governorate
from 5th of July 2010 to 15th of October 2011. To achieve the objectives of the study, a
non-probability (purposive) sample of (60) nurses (males and females) were working in SCI
units were selected. The sample is divided equally into study and control groups. A
questionnaire format was used for data collection which consisted of (3) three parts (185)
items, including their knowledge, practices, and demographic characteristics. Instrument
validity was determined through content validity, by a panel of experts. Reliability of the
instrument was determined through the use of Pearson correlation coefficient for the testretest
approach, which is (0.92) for their knowledge and (0.88) for their practices. Analysis
of data was performed through the application of descriptive statistics (frequency,
percentage) and inferential statistics (mean of scores, relative sufficiency, Pearson
correlation coefficient, t-test and one way analysis of variance and chi- square test).

In this research, an experimental study was conducted to high light the impact of the exterior shape of a cylindrical body on the forced and free convection heat transfer coefficients when the body is hold in the entrance of an air duct. The impact of changing the body location within the air duct and the air speed are also demonstrated. The cylinders were manufactured with circular, triangular and square sections of copper for its high thermal conductivity with appropriate dimensions, while maintaining the surface area of all shapes to be the same. Each cylinder was heated to a certain temperature and put inside the duct at certain locations. The temperature of the cylinder was then monitored. The heat transfer coefficient were then cal
