Polycystic ovarian disease is a hormonal disorder that manifests multiple cysts in ovaries. Girls suffer from many problems such as irregular periods, hair loss, insomnia, weight gain, excessive pimples, rise in insulin levels and infertility. There is a dire need to overcome this unsatisfied life event. Gynecological problems of college girls occupy a special space in the spectrum of gynecological disorders of all the ages. The problems are so unique, special, and specific for the age group, and the associated physical and psychological factors are very important in the growth and psychological remodelling of someone in the transition between childhood and womanhood. Objectives: 1. To assess the level of knowledge regarding polycystic ovarian disease among college girls. 2. To evaluate the effectiveness of structured teaching programme regarding polycystic Ovarian diseases among college girls. 3. To associate the post-test level of knowledge with selected demographic variables. Methodology: A Quasi-experimental design with evaluative approach was adopted and the study was conducted among 70 Engineering college girls in Sree Vidyanikethan Engineering College, A. Rangampeta, Tirupathi. The students were selected by using simple random sampling technique in experimental group. Pre-test was done for assessing the knowledge on polycystic ovarian disease and then structured teaching program was done. After one week post-test was conducted by using the same questionnaires for evaluating the effectiveness of structured teaching program. Results: In the experimental group, the pre-test mean score was 1.80 with SD of 0.403 and in post-test the mean score was 2.53 with SD of 0.503 the calculated ‘t’ value is 13.850 which was statically significant at 0.01 level.

Introduction: Perimenopause, is the period considered “around menopause.” It’s also known as the menopause transitional phase and is called such because it happens before menopause. According to the WHO, those women who have experienced irregular menses within last 12 or the absence of menses for more than 3 months but less than 12 months Menopause is a physiological event in the women's life. It is defined as the time cessation of ovarian function resulting in permanent amenorrhea. It takes 12 month of amenorrhea to confirm that menopause has set in, and therefore it is retrospective diagnosis.1 Knowledge related to perimenopause is an important health issue for women worldwide, little information. Health providers need to provide factual information about the normal body changes of perimenopause, self-management of perimenopausal disturbances and appropriate use of hormone replacement therapy. Objectives: 1. To assess the existing knowledge and attitude regarding selected aspects of perimenopausal women. 2. To educate the women through instruction module regarding perimenopausal women. 3. To find out relationship between the level of knowledge and attitude of perimenopausal women. Methodology: Pre experimental one group pre test and post test design was used. The sample size was 40. Nonprobability convenient sampling technique. Conceptual work Penders health promotion model. The structured interview schedule was used. Results: The pretest mean score of knowledge was 14 and attitude was 63. The posttest mean score of knowledge was 25 and attitude was 93. The obtained ‘t’ value for comparison of knowledge score was 34.3 at 0.05 level of significance. The calculated ‘t’ value for the comparison of attitude score was 31.6 at 0.05 level of significance. It indicates that there was difference between pretest and post test score which depicts structured teaching programme on perimenopausal care. Conclusion:-The overall knowledge of the perimenopausal women was inadequate in pretest and it was increased after teaching programme. Since it seems to be a routine study, with effective menopausal clinic and awareness programmes in each and every zone can improve quality of life.

Rett syndrome is a rare developmental disorder which affects the brain development and the symptoms grows as the age progresses. It is first seen at the age of 6-18 months and predominantly seen in females; cases with male children are limited. 95% of the Rett syndrome cases are known to be due to mutation in MeCP2 genes present in the X chromosome. Approximately 3, 50,000 cases have been reported worldwide and the cases are growing. In India, 6 cases of Rett syndrome were encountered in the year 1992 and 1993 but was misdiagnosed; correctly reported in the year 1994. The cure is unknown for the syndrome but multidisciplinary approach helps in addressing the symptoms effectively.

Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences, in Tanzania, moved from content-based teaching to a competency-based education approach in 2011. The overall goal of a research course at the School of Nursing was to inform and improve nursing care. Nursing research was taught as a two-semester course with individual research projects. An evaluation 10 years after introduction of the course was performed using descriptive statistics and graphs. Categorical comparisons were made using χ 2 tests. Baccalaureate students taught standard scientific methods were able to collect valuable data that could be used to support community health-care institutions, inform curriculum revision, and discover answers to simple nursing questions. Harnessing student talent is a cost-effective way to augment national research capacity, especially important in low- and middle-income countries. The knowledge gained can be used to improve teaching and health care, to increase the well-being of the national population and improve the nation’s health-care institutions.
