Introduction: Pregnancy with high risk conditions is threatening the life of the mother as well as fetus. Each year, globally 529,000 women and girls die due to complications associated with pregnancy. Most of the complications are preventable with preventive measures. So, all the pregnant mothers should be evaluated for the high risk factors. This study assessed the proportion of high risk mothers in Antenatal clinic OPD PGIMER Chandigarh. Aim: To assess the proportion of high risk mothers. Material and method: Pre-experimental design was used where total 200 antenatal mothers were enrolled by purposive sampling technique. Data were collected by using interview schedule in the period of July to December 2019. An assessment proforma were used for the assessment of antenatal mothers with high risk conditions regarding maternal and fetal outcome. Results: Finding of the study shows that mean age of high risk women were 28.6 years of age, attained menarche at the age of 13 years of age. Majority (63%) of the mothers belongs to Hindu family. More than 60% of the high risk mothers were having Anemia followed by Hypothyroidism (57.5%), Gestational diabetes mellitus (28.5%), Gestational Hypertension (15%), Previous history of caesarean section (14.5%), Age ≥35 years (8.5%), Rh negative mothers (5.5%), Height <145 cm (3.5%). Conclusion: It is concluded that highest percentage of Antenatal women (63%) were with anemia followed by 57.5% with Hypothyroidism.

Food insecurity and poor infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices contribute to under nutrition. Nutrition during early years of life is crucial for children to survive, grow and develop into healthy adults who can lead rewarding lives and productively contribute to their communities. Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) is a critical component of care in childhood. It is a major determinant of short- and long-term health outcomes in individuals, and hence of social and economic development of communities and nations. Objective of the study was to assess effectiveness of nutritional education intervention on improving knowledge and practice regarding IYCF among mothers having 6-24 months children. A Quantitative research approach and Quasi experimental design were used in this study, convenient sampling method with 30 samples were participated in the study, data was collected by structured questionnaire and observational checklist. Data was analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics. The finding of the study revealed that the mean post-test knowledge score was higher than mean pre-test knowledge score with the mean difference of 11.67 which revealed that nutritional education intervention was effective in terms of knowledge among mothers. The mean post-test practice score wa s higher than mean pretest practice score with the mean difference of 16.75 which revealed that mothers were doing correct practice after nutritional education.

Background: The main goal of the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is to achieve complete and permanent remission of the disease. A multidisciplinary team approach is also required to make the remission period long-term. IBD nursing in Turkey, Although these patients have begun a new specialization has been made about the pursuit of drug administration, did not find any work. It is thought that this study will provide a wellorganized nursing counseling for IBD patients and support patients in drug management. Objectives: To examine the effect of nurse support on drug compliance in individuals with inflammatory bowel disease. Method: After selecting the patients who are suitable for the sampling criteria included in the study, the study group was determined, and the patient information form and drug compliance information assessment form were administered to the individuals in the study group as a pre-test (month 0). The information included in the IBD Medical Education Booklet was given by the nurse twice a month in every 15 days on days suitable for the patients in the study group. One month after the training, the patient drug compliance assessment form was applied to the study group again and the scores of the group were analyzed by the nurse. Results: The average age of the patients is 41.37 years, 53.3% female, 36.67% secondary school graduate and 66.67% married. Post-training scores of the patients participating in the study increased. It was determined that the drug compliance of individuals with IBD who received nurse support for all other demographic features, except for patients with a maximum disease duration of 2 years, was high. Conclusion: In this study, it was observed that nurse support given to individuals with IBD in drug management increased the effectiveness of drug use.

Although Italy has a long history of migration behind it, it seems unable to convey the long experience accumulated over 150 years on its territory. There seems to be a lack of a network of contacts and relationships with communities of different cultures and social distress in the area of health, where there is a virtuous experiment, even well functional, but not really structured in a network. The COVID-19 Pandemic has shown that the inherent weaknesses in the sphere of migration and social hardship, which have worsened in the absence of a community health network; cultural, linguistic, social barriers, of knowledge of services and institutions, have been widened due to the impossibility of travel and the lack of individual institutional references that could provide indications, information and guidance. The creation of a network of contacts for the teaching of Demoethnoanthropology of the Nursing Studies course at the University of Parma has shown how a culturally competent and correct anthropological approach can provide communities with a channel of orientation and adherence through pre-built direct contact. The network of contacts built by the demo-ethnoanthropology course was born in the year 2013, when a discussion of involvement of the communities of different cultures of the territory is initiated, in a part of the training course of the course. The idea was to exploit university indications regarding the “Third Mission” by involving the cultural diversity of the area in an interaction between the university, students and communities both in the representative offices of the communities and in the university classrooms. The initiative, much appreciated by the representatives and members of the communities, involved a large part of those present in the territory of the city of Parma and the province. The first meetings brought in the classrooms representatives with an important university education, but also young university students and more. In 2015 we created that series of events known as “Cultural coffee” of the nursing study course, unique cultural encounters in Italy for this type of course held within a hospital dining area, therefore in a context outside the classrooms and open to the public in fact we added an element that was required by the Emilia Romagna region that is, bringing events with multicultural characteristics into common places among ordinary people. Over the years, public meetings and going with students to the associative centers of the communities, including the Islamic culture center of Parma, the Gurdwara Singh Saba associative headquarters, the Zoe pentecostal mission of Parma have increased institutional knowledge of the course and created a vast network of relationships. In order to build community involvement with an intention that is also inclusive, an institutional relationship more dedicated to health has also been initiated, since the same communities, aware of our dual role as teachers and nurses, h
