Background of the study: Osteoarthritis is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders, characterized by progressive degeneration of the articular cartilage, resulting in loss of joint space. The objective of the study was to show the effectiveness of aerobic exercise with shortwave diathermy versus strengthening exercise with shortwave diathermy for people with OA. Methodology: It was an experimental study with pre and post comparative test type. The Study was conducted at physiotherapy OPD, ACS Hospital, Chennai. 30 subjects of both male and female with age group of 50 to 60 years with a clinical diagnosis of Osteoarthritis were randomly selected and equally divided into two groups. Group A received aerobic exercise with shortwave diathermy and Group B received strengthening exercise with shortwave diathermy for 3 sessions per week for 6 weeks. WOMAC, osteoarthritis index and sit to stand test were used as outcome measures. Results: Comparative study between Group A and Group B showed a significant difference in knee function with P value >0.0001. Conclusion: The study concluded that strengthening exercise with shortwave diathermy was more effective than aerobic exercise with shortwave diathermy on knee function among OA patients.

Background: Leadership might be hard to define, but it’s easy to recognize. In nursing, there are certain skills required from nurse managers so as to be able to use these effective leadership styles. The skills include the ability to create an organization culture that combines high-quality health care, patient/employee safety, highly developed collaborative and team-building skills. This paper presents the preliminary study of the development of the assessment leadership tool. Methodology: Questionnaire for leadership styles was adapted from Northouse (2014) while working motivation was adapted from Purohit et al., (2016). The modification was done for leadership styles questionnaire from 35 modified into 48 question and tool on nurses’ motivation from 19 items modified into 28 items using literature guidance and expert opinion. Results: Preliminary development of tool reliability test using internal consistency cronbach's alpha result shown that for leadership styles questionnaires which are consisted of 48 items is (α = 0 .77) and working motivation consisted of 28 items is (α = 0.70). Minor modification needed after the literature searching and analysis of pre-test stage, the discussion with expert person after they go through the questionnaires also suggested some additional info are needed. Conclusion: Assessment on working motivation among nurses is also recommended to overcome the issues on working retention among them. Investigation regarding which appropriate leadership style need to be explored and the level of working motivation among nursing staff should be monitored regularly.

Background: Managing airway is very crucial and it is the essential component in emergency care syllabus throughout nursing program training. It is impossible to learn on artificial airway management in the real clinical zone due to the complexity of clinical conditions and the variations of treatment procedures This study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the simulation airway management training program developed for the final year nursing students whom rarely been assessed before they were posted into the real learning environment. Methodology: This is a quasi-experimental one group of pretest and posttest of final years nursing were exposed with the Intensive simulation of airway management technique which includes BLS, measure and insertion of oropharyngeal, high flow O2 administration, interpret ECG, use of defibrillator and understanding role of arrest team during emergency. Results: There exists adequate evidence to show that there was a significant different in the mean score of pretest and the mean score of posttest. The result shown significant with CI95% (-0.53414, -0.09586), t= -3.009, df = 19 and P<0.05. Conclusion: Intensive simulation training program on airway management serves as a bridge on the breachamid class room teaching and the applied skills. It acts as a reinforcement strategy on the technical and nontechnical skills to determine their competency the most important thing derived from this study is the increases of students' sense of security and confidence before they are exposed to real clinical areas.

Introduction: Nigeria is the 4 highest contributor to global maternal mortality; many postpartum mothers do not initiate contraceptives early and are at increased risk of unplanned pregnancy and abortion. Understanding the barriers is thus vital. This cross-sectional quantitative study carried out at a tertiary hospital in Abuja to determine the contraceptive practice level, identify barriers to use among mothers with infants less than 12months. Methodology: Questionnaires were administered on 220 consenting mothers. Descriptive analysis included frequencies and percentages, the inferential statistical techniques used are binary logistic regression to establish the relationship between the variables. Results: 200 questionnaires were retrieved; the mean age of the respondents was 31; most had tertiary level education, were in monogamous union and Christians. Over-half is within 3months postpartum and desired to have below four children. The commonly used methods are the condom, IUD, pills and implant. 48% are currently on a method, and 1% less have good contraceptive practice. Identified barriers are personal information and health system barriers. Barriers associated with the health system found to impact on the use of contraceptives (p=0.028). Contraceptive use was dependent on respondent’s religion (p=0.050) and child’s age (p=0.038). Conclusion: Contraceptive practice level of respondents is less than average and child's age and religion determined it, the mothers are indifferent on personal information and family/cultural barriers, but concerned on health system barriers. Tackling health system barriers in the postpartum period through early education, counseling, opening and equipping more family planning clinics and health facilities can improve contraceptive use.
