ABSTRACT
Background- COVID-19 is the Pandemic disease caused by the SARS-COV-2 virus. There are many myths regarding COVID-19 vaccine spread by community people at rural area. The objective of this study was to assess the knowledge about myths of COVID-19, Bhopal Ratua (M.P). The World Health Organization (WHO) is working closely with global experts, governments, and partners to rapidly expand scientific knowledge on this new virus, to track the spread and virulence of the virus, and to provide advice to countries and individuals on measures to protect health and prevent the spread. The urban people have poor attitude regarding myths about Covid- 19 vaccination. Materials & Methods- A Study was conducted to assess the knowledge and attitude regarding Covid Vaccination among rural community people. 30 rural community people from a selected rural community were included in the study. A questionnaire consisting of 40 questions was used. Results- Almost all had some pre-test knowledge regarding the myths surrounding Covid-19. Whereas the knowledge was increased post-test. Conclusion- We concluded that such awareness programs may have a positive impact on increasing the knowledge of rural people. After that the vaccine needs to go through a review by the National Regulatory Authority, who will decide if the vaccine is safe and effective.
ABSTRACT
Background- The mental illness seen in children is worrisome and has many factors leading to such conditions. The need for positive intervention is need of the hour. Materials & Methods- Quasi-experimental one group pre-test post-test design was used for the study. The sample consisted of 60 prenatal mothers in selected rural areas of Bhopal by Non-Probability convenient sampling technique. A pre-test was conducted by using a structured knowledge questionnaire to evaluate the effectiveness of Planned Teaching Programme on knowledge regarding prenatal factors leading to mental disorders. Results- In this study, on comparing the pre-test and post-test knowledge score it was found that all prenatal mothers scored better in the post-test. Majority of respondents scored average and 20.0% scored good. The post test mean was more than pre test score. Conclusion- We concluded that the structured teaching program is effective in increasing knowledge of the prenatal mothers regarding prenatal factors leading to mental disorders.
ABSTRACT
The Nursing and staff serves as backbone of a healthcare system. Despite being central to any healthcare system, not much has been written about them, especially on the issue of their regulations and legal liabilities emanating from their professional activities. Though they are governed by National and State councils, the implications of their acts are different in Civil Law, Criminal Law and under their respective regulations. These differences are primarily the subject matter of this paper.
ABSTRACT
As per 2019 report of the National Health Portal of India, 41,996,260 cases and 3,740 deaths from respiratory infections were recorded across India in 2018. The main aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of balloon therapy on increased level of oxygenation of patients with lower respiratory tract disorders. Quasi experimental design was used for this study. Balloon therapy improves pulmonary functions. Daily practice of blowing up balloon, once a day, 10 times per day for 10 days will steadily increase lung capacity. The data pertaining to lung capacity was collected using self-administered questionnaire. Respiratory assessment viz Vital, Tidal and Lung capacity were measured using balloon therapy. The pre-test mean and SD were 6.83 & 1.30 respectively where as posttest mean & SD were 7.16 & 1.26, with t-test value of 6.12. These reading indicate the effectiveness of Balloon therapy on lung capacity in patients with lower respiratory tract infections. The result of this study guides that regular practice of balloon therapy can improve the lung capacity to a greater extent among patients with lower respiratory tract infection. Off course, large sample size is recommended for generalization.
ABSTRACT
Quasi- Experimental one group pretest –post test design was conducted to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching program on first aid management of minor injuries among mothers of kindergarten children at Bhauri, 60 samples were selected by simple random sampling technique and assessed their knowledge score by structured questionnaire. Structured teaching program on first aid management of minor injuries were given .After seven days of the post test were conducted by using same questionnaire. There was significant improvement in knowledge score and practices related to prevention of minor abrasions at 0.01 level. Out of 60 mothers 3.3%(2) had adequate knowledge, 13.4%(8) had moderately adequate knowledge, 83.3%( 50) had inadequate knowledge score in pre-test. 1.66 %( 1) had inadequate knowledge, 86.7 %( 52) had adequate knowledge, 11.64 %( 7) had moderately adequate knowledge in post test..there is no significant difference between demographic variables of pre test and post test scores of knowledge and knowledge on practice.
ABSTRACT
This study is undertaken to compare efficacy of peripheral smear (PS) and malarial antigen methods (contemporary methods of malaria diagnosis) and 5 part haematology cell counter scatterogram and flagging's in cases of malaria for effective treatment and reducing morbidity and mortality. The study was conducted by selecting 60 cases on strong clinical suspicion, first PS and antigen test was done followed by 5 part haematological cell counter for CBC. Results were subjected to statistical analysis. CBC has a sensitivity and specificity of 96.66% and 50%respectively while peripheral smear showed 96.15% sensitivity and 16.66% specificity for detection of malaria. Antigen has sensitivity of 98.24% and specificity of 93.6%. The study proved that various diagnostic modalities to diagnose malaria are far much better than only one diagnostic method.
