Purpose: The purpose of the study was to explore association of nurses’ self perception about their public image and job satisfaction in tertiary care hospitals, Karachi, Pakistan. Methods: Cross-sectional study was conducted on 281 diploma prepared nurses working in two public and two private tertiary care hospitals in Karachi. A combination of probability cluster sampling and non probability convenience sampling techniques were used to select units and the participants from each research setting respectively. Data were collected using the Porter Nursing Image Scale, Index of Work Satisfaction, and a self developed demographic tool by the primary researcher. Results: Majority of the participants were women, of ages 20 to 30 years, from private hospitals. Nurses’ self perception about their public image was ranked positive but differed in degree by the tool’s components. Nurses ranked ’Professional Status’ as important for their job satisfaction. A weak negative association was found between nurses’ self perception about their public image’ and level of job satisfaction. Conclusion: Nurses, who perceive their public image positively, tend to be satisfied with their job. Nurse leaders need to understand that the efforts to enhance the image of the nursing profession are directly linked with nurses’ job satisfaction.

Hypertension is most commonly found in the primary care. It is very important to be warded off since it can cause the incidence of sickness and death. The management through lifestyle is very potential to control blood pressure and even to decrease the need for pharmacological management. The objective of this research was to analyze the influence of progressive muscle relaxation on stress, blood pressure, and quality of lifein hypertension patients in the Working Area of Muliorejo Puskesmas, Deli Serdang Regency. The research used quantitative method with quasi-experimentalnon-equivalents group control design. The samples were 30 respondents for both treatment and control groups, taken by using consecutive sampling technique. The data were analyzed by using dependent t-test and independent ttest. It could be concluded that there was the influence of progressive muscle relaxation on stress, blood pressure, and quality of life in hypertension patients. It is recommended that using progressive muscle relaxation be seriously considered as nursing intervention as a complementary therapy for decreasing stress, stabilizing blood pressure, and improving quality of life in hypertension patients in the Working Area of Muliorejo Puskesmas, SunggalSubdistrict, DeliSerdang Regency.

Adolescents are prone to use drugs when they have low self-esteem. Assertiveness training and family psychological education therapies are mental health nursing specialist interventions that are expected to increase adolescent self esteem so that adolescent has ability to prevent drug use. This study aims to determine the effect of assertiveness training and family psychological education therapy on adolescent self-esteem in the prevention of drug use in boarding schools. The research design was a quasi-experimental pre-post test with a control group. Sixty four adolescent students at the boarding school were selected using purposive sampling technique and cluster random sampling. The intervention group 1 only received general nursing intervention and the intervention group 2 received general nursing intervention, assertiveness training, and family psychological education therapy. The results showed that the self-esteem of adolescent students increased significantly after receiving nursing intervention and in the high self-esteem category (p = 0.017), after assertiveness training and family psychological education therapy, adolescent self-esteem in the intervention group 2 increased greater than only general nursing intervention ( P = 0, 000) with the high self-esteem category. There is the influence of assertiveness training and family psychological education therapy on adolescent self-esteem in prevention of drugs uses in a boarding school. Community health center is recommended to do nursing care in school through school health unit program either by primary care nurse or nurse specialist of mental health nursing.

Background: Health care providers as a trusted source of information for most patients should be able to provide counseling services to patients on the new concept of stem cells utilization, benefits and its practice implications. Objective: this study aims to assess the knowledge and attitude of health care providers in Qassim region regarding stem cells. Methods: Self-administered tools were utilized among 250 health care providers were chosen from five major hospitals in Qassim, including doctors, nurses, and other health care providers such as pharmacists, dietaries and administrative staff. Results: The participants were female,<30 years in age, had practiced for <10 years and nurses. About 56% of respondents had a moderate knowledge regarding stem cells, and only 31.2 % had good knowledge. About three quarters 191 (76.4%) of the participants exhibited positive attitude towards stem cells use. A Pearson’s correlation between knowledge and attitude scores was statistically significant. Conclusion : Data from the present study revealed the moderate levels of knowledge and positive attitude toward stem cells and its application among health care providers in Qassim. Therefore, this study suggests that educational programs on stem cells should be implemented to improve stem cells knowledge and encourage a more positive attitude.
