The study investigated the extent to which psychosocial services intervention programmes is being implemented for the internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the camps and to also find out how these programmes have been able to meet the needs of the affected persons. To achieve this objective, three research questions are generated. Subjects are 200 respondents that are selected from a target population of 1005 displaced persons in two camps in Borno state, through simple random sampling. A questionnaire titled “Psychosocial Services Intervention Programmes Questionnaire” (PSSIPQ) was used for data collection while interview and focus group discussions were used for additional information gathering. The study concludes that psychological support services are available in the various camps but require deepening and some improvement.

Background: Malnutrition is a common consequence notably in patients admitted to the intensive care unit. Aim of the study: was to assess the Impact of hospitalized nutritional formula on anthropometric, clinical, and biochemical indices among Egyptian adult cardio-thoracic Critically Ill Patients on admission and discharge days. Methods: Totally, A convenient sample of 100 cardiothoracic patients was evaluated from admission to discharge in ICUs at Damietta Chest Disease Hospital in Egypt. The patients anthropometric measurements, clinical data, and biochemical indices were assessed. As well, hospital diet prescription and intake were also evaluated. Results: High significant statistical difference patients clinical data on admission and after one week such as body built (X2 = 52.6; p = 0.0), skin color (X2= 12.9; p = 0.02), skin turgor (X2= 13.19; p = 0.0), and occurrence of bed sore (X2= 27.7; p = 0.0). On the other hand, no significant statistical differences were found in the patients weight and body mass index on admission and discharge (one week). Moreover, significant statistical differences were found in patients biochemical indices such as albumin (t= 3.03; p=0.003) and lymphocyte counts (3.74; p=0.000). So, 88% of patients showed decreased albumin after one week when compared to admission time. While 10 % of patients showed increased lymphocytic count after one week of admission when compared to admission time. Conclusion and Recommendations: Clinical assessment, anthropometric, and biochemical indices are essential for evaluation, follow-up and management of cardiothoracic critically ill patients
