Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify the factors leading to osteoporosis among menopausal women. Subject and Methods: The study was carried out in the rheumatic and rehabilitation outpatients' clinic at Mansoura University Hospital using a cross section analytical design. The subjects of the study were 400 menopausal women attending the rheumatic and rehabilitation outpatients' clinic at Mansoura University Hospital setting and being diagnosed as positive or negative for osteoporosis. Data were collected using three tools devised specifically for the study. Results: The results revealed that the osteoporosis was found in more than half of studied women (58.45%) of the women while, 41.15 % of women were not exposed to osteoporosis, the majority (93.7%) of the osteoporotic group had a history of chronic diseases compared to 77.3% of the control group. Conclusion: Many risk factors were associated with osteoporosis. Some of these factors were related to un-modifiable factors as (increases women age, associated medical conditions, family history of osteoporosis,….) , while the others were related to modifiable factors (abnormal body mass index in the form of overweight, morbid obesity, unhealthy dietary habits, unhealthy lifestyles,….) Recommendations: Early screening of menopausal women is recommended using DXA to help in the early detection of the disease, increasing women awareness about osteoporosis and its effect on women quality of life and upgrading their knowledge about the possible ways of its prevention and treatment.

HEAD NURSES' LEADERSHIP STYLES AND STAFF NURSES' PERFORMANCE
Background. Leadership is the life artery of any organization. A leader has a significant impact on subordinate's performance, as he creates a positive climate and an authentic support to followers, they work with maximum manner and achieve the best work results. The present study aimed to determine the relationship of head nurses' leadership styles from staff nurses point of view and staff nurse's performance. A descriptive co-relational research design was used. This study conducted in Mansoura Emergency Hospital affiliated to Mansoura University. Study subjects consisted of all staff nurses with a total number of 110 working in in-patient units .Two tools were used to collect the data. The first one was the leadership questionnaire geared to measure leadership styles. The second one was nurses' performance evaluation checklist. Results of the study revealed that transformational leadership style is slightly more than transactional style while both styles do not match adequate level of leader attributes whereas charismatic and intellectual stimulation are obvious items related to transformational style. Level of performance among the staff nurses were relatively low, and all nurses' performance was incompetent and need improvement. There was no statistically significant relationship between leadership styles and nurses performance. So, the study recommended conducting training programs and workshops to keep head nurses updated at administration and leadership skills, continuous staff nurses development about patient safety, incident report, ethics, nursing process, documentation. Conducting training program about performance appraisal stressing on feedback for head nurses and their subordinates and finally activating sanction system at hospital are warranted.
