Introduction: E- learning is used to provide instructional program to students who are separated by distance and from the instructor or teachers. E-learning is a relatively new phenomenon to the nursing profession scenario, currently both the educators and students are under pressure with the idea of its implementation and adaptation respectively due to covid-19 pandemic outbreak. Objective; To assess the perspective of e-learning among nursing students. Methodology; Descriptive study with stratified quota sampling was used to collect data from 225 nursing students. A modified four point Likert Scale was prepared in google form to assess the Perspective of E-learning among nursing students and descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. Results: Result showed that 127(56.4%) of the students were in the age group of 20 to 22 years, 125(55.6%) nursing students belongs to BSc Nursing, and majority of students 137(60.9%) were the resident of urban area. Most of them 201(89.3%) were using mobile for E - learning and majority of samples 191(84.9%) had no previous experience on E-learning, most of them 156(69.3%) had previous knowledge on computer and 145 (64.4%) were interested in E-earning. majority of the samples 130(57.8%) had medium level of pespectiveness in the quality of information provided through E-learning, most of the samples 194(72%) had medium pespectiveness on perception, 176(78.2%) had perceived the E-learning as beneficial in the provided aspects, majority 154(68.4%) nursing students felt challenges in E-learning perspective and overall 181(80.4%) had medium level of perspective towards E-[earning. It is also found that the sociodemographic variable of previous knowledge on computer technology and interest towards E-learning had significant association with nursing students perspective of E-learning at p value 0.000(p< 0.05). Conclusion: Hence the situation of COVID 19 pandemic or any such like situations online education can be conducted but for a better experience of learning among professional nursing students a blended approach of face to face and online teaching strategies can be used.

Introduction: Hospitals are the centre of cure and also the important centre of infectious waste generation and the infectious health care waste is hazardous with the potential risk to spread infection and release high level of unintentionally produced organic pollution. The Goal of the bio medical waste management to manage all the waste in proper way, for that health care personnel and nursing students must to have good knowledge and practice regarding collection, handling, as well as safe disposal of waste. In India, until early 1990s healthcare waste management was a neglected issue after that in 1998 implementation of rule of biomedical waste management and handling. In India, The waste generation rate ranges between 0.5 and 2.0kg/bed/day. In which only about 10-25% of biomedical waste is hazardous and remaining 75-95% is non hazardous and the hazardous part of waste includes chemical, Glassware and microbiological items. This is highly toxic, infectious and can cause a serious threatening condition if not managed in a scientific manner. A major issue related to current bio-medical waste management in many hospitals is that the implementation of Bio waste regulation is unsatisfactory as some hospitals are disposing of waste in a improper and in a inadequate manner. Thus will cause environmental pollution unpleasant smell, growth and multiplication of vectors like insects, rodents, and warms which may lead to the transmission of diseases like cholera, typhoid, hepatitis, and AIDS through injuries from infected syringes and needles Methodology: quantitative research approach was used in study pre experimental; one group pre-test post-test design was selected. The data were collected from 30 student of nursing, who were selected using non probability purposive sampling technique from selected nursing college, Rudrapur, U.S. Nagar. the tool used for the study was structured knowledge questionnaire to assess the knowledge regarding Biomedical waste management. Result: The finding of study revealed that the mean post-test knowledge score (15.5) was significantly greater than the pre-test knowledge score (11.1) of experimental group of students. [t=6.98, p<0.00001]. The result showed that there was significant association between knowledge of student regarding bio-medical waste management and socio demographic variables as the chi square value.
导言:医院是治疗中心,也是传染性废物产生的重要中心,传染性医疗废物具有传播感染和释放无意中产生的高水平有机污染的潜在风险。生物医疗废物管理的目标是以适当的方式管理所有废物,因为卫生保健人员和护理学生必须具备有关废物收集、处理和安全处置的良好知识和实践。在印度,直到20世纪90年代初,医疗废物管理一直是一个被忽视的问题,直到1998年实施了生物医学废物管理和处理规则。在印度,废物产生率在0.5至2.0公斤/床/天之间。其中只有约10-25%的生物医学废物是危险的,其余75-95%是无害的,废物的危险部分包括化学、玻璃器皿和微生物物品。这是剧毒、传染性很强的,如果不以科学的方式加以管理,可能会造成严重的威胁。与目前许多医院的生物医疗废物管理有关的一个主要问题是,生物废物条例的执行情况令人不满意,因为一些医院处理废物的方式不当和不充分。因而会造成环境污染、难闻的气味、昆虫、啮齿动物等病媒的生长和繁殖,并可能导致霍乱、伤寒、肝炎、艾滋病等疾病通过受感染的注射器和针头的伤害传播。选择一组前测后测设计。本研究采用非概率有目的抽样方法,从美国鲁德拉普市某护理学院选取30名护理专业学生进行调查。研究使用的工具是结构化知识问卷,以评估生物医学废物管理方面的知识。结果:研究发现实验组学生测后知识平均分(15.5分)显著大于测前知识平均分(11.1分)。(t = 6.98, p < 0.00001)。结果显示,学生对生物医疗废物管理的认知与社会人口统计学变量呈显著相关。

Introduction: Alzheimer’s disease impacts the person who is diagnosed, but it also affects family members who are responsible for caring for their loved one. Lack of knowledge of Alzheimer’s disease among families may be partially due to a lack of services that inform those in need of education. Many researchers have found that caregivers have a need for education on dementia as well as a need for support services and information on care. Materials and Methods: The present study aims to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding Alzheimer disease among the family member of elderly person in selected area at Udaipur city. A Quantitative research approach with Pre-experimental study design was adopted to achieve the objectives of the study. A sample of 60 family members of elderly people were selected for the study using convenient sampling technique. Tool consists of socio-demographic variables and Self structured knowledge questionnaire on Alzheimer disease was given to collect the data. Pre-test data was collected and structured teaching programme was administered to family members of elderly people regarding Alzheimer disease and post-test data was collected after 7 days. Results: Results showed that in pre-test majority 44(73.3%) had inadequate knowledge, 11(18.3%) had moderate knowledge and 5(8.4%) had adequate knowledge while in post-test majority 39(65%) had adequate knowledge and 21(35%) had moderate knowledge regarding Alzheimer’s disease. Mean post-test knowledge score 21.98±3.86 was higher than the pre-test mean knowledge score 10.98±5.46 with mean difference of 11.0 with obtained t value (t=9.450, p=0.001) was statistically highly significant at p<0.05 level of significance. Conclusion: Study findings concluded that family members of elderly people were having lack of knowledge on Alzheimer’s disease and structured teaching programme had shown significant improvement in knowledge of family members of elderly. Findings suggest that educational programmes should be implemented by providing appropriate and accessible support to family members and care givers for promoting the best possible quality of life for those affected by Alzheimer’s disease.

Back ground of the study- A research study on poha consumption and glycemic control was conducted with the objective of assessing the efficacy of glycemic control. The population included patients with type-2 Diabetes Mellitus. They were allowed to continue their normal life pattern during the addition of poha as a diet. Meterials and Methods- A one group pretest post test design was used for the study. The sample size was 100. The setting was a selected village in Mangalore taluk in Dakshina Kannada district of Karnataka. Systematic sampling was used for the study. Results- The post test GRBS levels of all the patients were lesser than the pretest levels. Patients had no additional complaints. The study was done at 0.05 level of significance. Conclusion- Poha is a part of occasional diet in south India. Due to the ignorance of glycemic control effect of this food, people do not consume it regularly. Daily consumption of this food is very effective in controlling hyperglycemia by slow release of glucose from the body. Large scale awareness has to be created among diabetic population regarding the efficacy of this food.

A descriptive study with quantitative approach was under taken on 50 significant family members of mentally ill patients selected by non probability convenient sampling technique at Mental Health Institute (COE), SCBMCH, Cuttack to assess the psychosocial problems and coping strategies of significant family members of mentally ill patients. Data was collected from 10.02.2020 to 10.03.2020 through questionnaire on psychosocial problems formulated in the form of 4-point likert scale. and COPE Inventory by Carver et al. rated on a 4-point scale format. Collected data were analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings revealed that Highest Percentage (40%) of the family members were in the age group of 48–60 years. A majority (66%) of them were male and (92%) of them were Hindus and (8%) of them were Muslim. Majority (60%) of them were married (36%) of them were farmer. Highest percentage (30%) of them were illiterate and majority (50%) of them were having income ≤ Rs.5000 and (56%) of them from nuclear family. Highest percentage (58%) of them were from rural area and (44%) of them were mother. Majority (38%) of them had >5 years of illness and (76%) of them were having no family history. Most of the significant family members of mentally ill patients (84%) under this study had moderate problem whereas (8%) of them had mild and also (8%) severe problems. The coping strategy most often used by the significant family members of mentally ill patients was restraint coping mean score (15.64±0.66) and instrumental social support mean score (15.64±0.52) and the least used was Humor mean score (4.04±0.28) and Alcohol disengagement mean score (4.38±0.28). The internal consistency of COPE Inventory exhibited Cronbach’s alpha (α) coefficients ranging from 0.93 (Emotional social support) and Instrumental social support (0.90) to 0.41 (Restraint coping). However, the (Restraint coping) shows lower alfa (α). Mostly Problem focused coping strategies (14.12±1.37) was used by the significant family members of the mentally ill patients.

Most of the significant family members of mentally ill patients (84%) under this study had moderate problem whereas (8%) of them had mild and also (8%) severe problems. The coping strategy most often used by the significant family members of mentally ill patients was restraint coping mean score (15.64±0.66) and instrumental social support mean score (15.64±0.52) and the least used was Humor mean score (4.04±0.28) and Alcohol disengagement mean score (4.38±0.28). The internal consistency of COPE Inventory exhibited Cronbach’s alpha (α) coefficients ranging from 0.93 (Emotional social support) and Instrumental social support (0.90) to 0.41 (Restraint coping). However, the (Restraint coping) shows lower alfa (α). Mostly Problem focused coping strategies (14.12±1.37) was used by the significant family members of the mentally ill patients.","PeriodicalId":197062,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nursing Education and Research","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133079851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Background: Prevalence of autism is increasing worldwide. A WHO survey conducted in, April,2017, states that the incidence of autism has increased from 1 in 500 to 1 in 160 children. As there is no known cure for autism, it is considered to be a lifelong condition. Objectives: 1. To assess the problems faced and lifestyle modification adopted by parents in the following aspects: Physical, Emotional, Social, Professional 2. To determine the relationship between problems faced and lifestyle modification with selected demographic variables. Materials and methods: The data were collected from 43 parents of children with an autism by using non-probability, purposive sampling technique, tool was semi-structured interview schedule and rating scale, technique was interviewing. Result: Coefficient of correlation for Overall problems faced and Overall lifestyle modification adopted by parents with autistic children was -0.0696, it shows no relationship between them. Conclusion: From the findings of the study, we can conclude that parents of an autistic child face problems in the physical, emotional, social and professional spheres of life. Problems related to the social domain exceed than the other three. It is interpreted that parents also adopt lifestyle changes in response to the problems faced in all these aspects of life. However, it was found that the lifestyle modifications adopted by the parents in response to the physical problem were comparatively low.

Intracranial aneurysms are relatively common, with a prevalence of approximately 4%. Unruptured aneurysms may cause symptoms mainly due to a mass effect, but the real danger is when an aneurysm ruptures, leading to a sub arachnoid haemorrhage. Most aneurysms are asymptomatic and will not rupture, but they grow unpredictably and even small aneurysms carry a risk of rupture. Intracranial aneurysms are diagnosed and monitored with imaging including intra-arterial digital subtraction angiography, computed tomography angiography, magnetic resonance angiography, and recently transcranial Doppler ultrasonography has been proposed as a potential modality. Treatment options include observation, endovascular coiling, and surgical clipping aneurysms.

Stroke is a medical emergency. It is the second leading cause of death worldwide. Dysphagia presents in approximately 55% of all acute stroke patients admitted to hospital. In order to improve the overall outcome after stroke it is essential that the feeding performance need to be improved through Chin Tuck Against Resistance (CTAR) Exercise. This study was aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Chin Tuck Against Resistance (CTAR) exercise in improvement of feeding performance among patients with CVA. Methods: A Quasi- experimental study was conducted after obtaining ethical clearance and setting permission. The data was collected after obtaining consent from 70 CVA patients, who were selected by consecutive sampling technique. Pretest data was collected from both the groups by predetermined and pretested tools such as demographic variable Performa, clinical variable proforma and FOIS (Functional Oral Intake scale) through interview and observation method. Chin Tuck Against Resistance Exercise was administered for 8 consecutive days, 3 times a day for experimental group of patients with CVA. Posttest assessment of feeding performance in both the groups was conducted after one week of intervention. Results: Study findings revealed that there was no significant different in mean pretest score of feeding performance in the control group (M=2.63, S.D+1.12) and experimental group (M=2.05, S.D+1.28) with ‘t’ value 1.95(p>0.05).Whereas, there was a significant difference in the posttest scores of feeding performance in the experimental group (M=6.4,S.D+3.25) which was higher than control group (M=3.13,S.D+1.23) with ‘t’ value of 18.22, (p<0.001). It can be attributed to the effectiveness of CTAR exercise to improve suprahyoid muscle activity and tongue pressure Conclusion: Chin Tuck Against Resistance Exercise was helpful in improving the feeding performance upon patients with CVA dysphagia.
