Florence Nightingale, who pioneered the use of research in practise in nursing, has a long history of doing so. Although few nurses contributed to Nightingale's foundation in the early and mid-nineteenth centuries, the nursing profession has recently offered important leadership for enhancing care through the implementation of best clinical research evidences in practise. Evidence-based practise (EBP) is the careful and deliberate application of current best evidence, clinical skill, and patient values to inform health-care decisions. Expansion of scientific knowledge, highly educated customers, and nurses in clinical settings, relentless pursuit of cost-effectiveness, and accreditation expectations, among other factors, are all contributing to the increased focus on EBP. Ask, Acquire, Appraise, Apply, and Assess/Re Assess are the steps for adopting EBP. CINAHL, MEDLINE: (PubMed), and Evidence-based clinical practise guidelines, to name a few, are some of the tools that can be used to find the best evidence for practise. Empirical data from meta analyses and randomised controlled trials; evidence from other scientific approaches like descriptive and qualitative research; and usage of information from case reports, scientific principles, and expert opinion are all examples of best evidence. When enough research evidence is available, clinical experience and patient values should be used to guide practise. The ability to apply evidence in practise requires enough information, attitude, skill, and support. In order to apply EBP in clinical settings and provide high-quality nursing care, numerous professional and individual barriers must be addressed1.

Antibiotic resistance is the ability of a microorganism to withstand the effects of an antibiotic. When bacteria become resistant, the powerful antibiotics can no longer fight them, and the bacteria multiply causing the disease to flare up leading to deaths. A report ‘Review Antimicrobial Resistance’, stated that the deaths attributable to antimicrobial resistance [AMR] every year compared to other major causes of death in 2050 will be 10 million, as compared to death by RTA’s, cancer, cholera, DM, measles and tetanus.1 But, with the help of proper health education, 90% of the antibiotic resistance can be reduced2. Children are a vulnerable group more prone for infections, and thereby are higher consumers of antibiotics. Since, mothers are the prime decision makers of their child’s health, the investigators felt the need to assess the “Knowledge and practice regarding the use of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance among the mothers of children in the paediatric wards at a selected hospital in Pathanamthitta”. 100 mothers were selected for the current study using convenient sampling technique. Baseline variables, knowledge and practice among the mothers were assessed by using baseline performa, structured knowledge and practice questionnaire. The knowledge and practice scores were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation. The association of the scores with selected baseline variables were assessed using Chi-square test and Kruskal-Wallis test. And the correlations of the knowledge and practice scores were assessed using the Pearson’s coefficient of correlation. In this study among 100 mothers, 65(65%) of mothers were found to have good knowledge, 26(26%) mothers had poor knowledge and 9 (9%) are having excellent knowledge regarding antibiotics and antibiotic resistance. About 47(47%) of them were having best practice, 45(45%) were found to have good practice and 8(8%) had poor practice with respect to use of antibiotics for their children. No correlation was found between mothers’ knowledge regarding the antibiotics and antibiotic resistance and their practice. In view of the study results, a pamphlet was developed and given to the ward for distribution to the parents of children getting admitted in the wards after content validity and expert advice.

When bacteria become resistant, the powerful antibiotics can no longer fight them, and the bacteria multiply causing the disease to flare up leading to deaths. A report ‘Review Antimicrobial Resistance’, stated that the deaths attributable to antimicrobial resistance [AMR] every year compared to other major causes of death in 2050 will be 10 million, as compared to death by RTA’s, cancer, cholera, DM, measles and tetanus.1 But, with the help of proper health education, 90% of the antibiotic resistance can be reduced2.

Mental illness is any define disease or condition affecting the brain that influences the way a person thinks, feels, behaves, and relates to others, and to his surroundings Mental disorders are widely recognized as a major contributor to the global burden of disease worldwide. There are limited number of studies on knowledge and attitude towards mental illness among caregivers. Objectives: To assess the knowledge and attitude on existing mental illness among the care givers of mentally ill patient. To find the correlation between the knowledge and attitude on existing mental illness among the caregivers of mentally ill patients. To estimate the associate between knowledge and attitude on existing mental illness with selected demographic variables. Setting: The study will be carried out in the psychiatric OPD at Pondicherry Institute of Medical Sciences. Methods: A Non-experimental descriptive study design was adopted for this study. The study was conducted among the care givers of mentally ill patients at psychiatric OPD at PIMS. 46 care givers were selected by convenience sampling technique. The level of knowledge was assessed by multiple choice questions and level of attitude was assessed by 5 point likert scale on mental illness. Results: Among 46 care givers, adequate level of knowledge on mental illness has been observed 4 (8.7%) among the care givers. Moderate level of knowledge on mental illness has been observed 34 (73.9%) among the care givers. Inadequate level of knowledge on mental illness has been observed 8 (17.4%) among the care givers. Favorable attitude on mental illness has been observed 7 (15.2%) and moderate level of attitude has been observed 39 (84.8%) among the caregivers.

Marburg virus disease (MVD) is a rare but severe hemorrhagic fever which affects both people and non-human primates. MVD is caused by the Marburg virus, a genetically unique zoonotic (or, animal-borne) RNA virus of the filovirus family1. The six species of Ebola virus are the only other known members of the filovirus family. Marburg virus was first recognized in 19671. Two fatal cases of Marburg virus disease (MVD) were reported from Ashanti region, Ghana. On 28 June 2022, these cases were notified to health authorities as suspected viral hemorrhagic fever (VHF) cases and tested positive for Marburg virus on 1 July 20222. The reservoir host of Marburg virus is the African fruit bat, Rousettus aegyptiacus. Marburg virus is the causative agent of Marburg virus disease (MVD), a disease with a case fatality ratio of up to 88%, but can be much lower with good patient care. Marburg and Ebola viruses are both members of the Filoviridae family (filovirus). Though caused by different viruses, the two diseases are clinically similar1. The incubation period (interval from infection to onset of symptoms) varies from 2 to 21 days2. Many patients develop severe haemorrhagic manifestations between 5 and 7 days, and fatal cases usually have some form of bleeding, often from multiple areas. It can be difficult to clinically distinguish MVD from other infectious diseases such as malaria, typhoid fever, shigellosis, meningitis and other viral haemorrhagic fevers. Currently there are no vaccines or antiviral treatments approved for MVD2. However, supportive care – rehydration with oral or intravenous fluids – and treatment of specific symptoms, improves survival. Healthcare workers caring for patients with suspected or confirmed Marburg virus should apply extra infection control measures to prevent contact with the patient’s blood and body fluids and contaminated surfaces or materials such as clothing and bedding2.
