Learning disability (SLD) comprises a heterogeneous group of disorders with the main impairment being cognitive processing manifested by significant difficulties in the acquisition and use of skills such as listening, speaking, reading, reasoning, writing or mathematical skill. This leads to challenges in academic performance and has psychosocial implications. Trained teachers who have positive attitude and practical knowledge concerning individual needs (physical, emotional and intellectual) and problems can prevent and manage emotional and psychosocial problems of young children. In India the prevalence of specific learning disability in India ranges from 5%–15% in various studies. Identification of disorder prior to school age is difficult due to the instability of results obtained from formal testing procedures. Teachers are the first person to notice that the child is not learning as expected. The research design adopted for this study was pre experimental one group pre testpost test research design and research approach adopted for this was to qualitative approach. The sample was 100 primary school teachers. Non probability purposive sampling technique was used. Data was collected by using structured knowledge questionnaire consisting of two sections, Section I – Socio-Demographic variables & Section II – Structured knowledge Questionnaire.The mean of post-test knowledge scores was 26.6 which is significantly higher than mean of pre-test knowledge scores of 12.4. Standard deviation of post-test score and pre-test score is 9.4 and 13.3 respectively. The computed paired “t” value (18.67, df=99 at the level of P= 0.05) is greater than table value (1.66) which represents significant gain in knowledge. Hence the hypothesis RH is accepted. It is evident from the results that RH: There will be significant association between the pretest knowledge score and selected demographic variables at the level of P≤ 0.05. is accepted as there is significant association between pretest knowledge score and selected demographic variables like educational qualification, years of experience, child psychology in syllabus and attended in-service education.The study revealed that the level of knowledge regarding learning disability was low among school teachers in pretest and there was significant gain in knowledge in post test. Thus the study results revealed that self-instructional module is an effective instructional method to improve the knowledge level of primary school teachers regarding learning disabilities.

The objectives of the study were to assess the quality of nursing care rendered by staff nurses in medical and surgical wards of government and private hospitals, to compare the quality of nursing care rendered by staff nurses in medical and surgical wards of government and private Hospitals, to find association between quality of nursing care rendered by staff nurses and selected demographic variables, to assess the level of satisfaction perceived by patients in medical and surgical wards of government and private hospitals, to compare the level of satisfaction perceived by patients in medical and surgical wards of government and private hospitals, to find association between level of satisfaction perceived by patients and selected demographic variables. Quantitative research approach and (descriptive comparative) research design was used. Tools used for data collection comprised of a structured observation checklist to assess quality of nursing care and a structured patient satisfaction questionnaire for assessment of patient satisfaction. Convenient sampling was adopted to select the 60 staff nurses, 30 from each hospital and 60 patients, 30 from each hospital. The study was conducted at a government (SMHS) hospital and a private (Noorah) Hospital, Srinagar.Data was analyzed and interpreted using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings showed that better quality of nursing care was rendered by staff nurses in private than in the government hospital. In government hospital, the areas in which staff nurses rendered good quality of care were nurse’s communication and behavior and patient safety, average quality in areas of documentation and environment and poor quality in the area of general nursing care. In case of private hospital, good quality of nursing care was rendered under the areas environment, patient safety, nurse’s communication and behavior and average quality of nursing care was rendered in the area documentation. No significant association was found between the quality of nursing care and selected demographic variables viz. age, educational qualification and years of work experience in both hospitals. A significant association was found between the level of satisfaction perceived by patients and age and marital status, and no significant association with gender, days of stay in the hospital and history of previous hospitalization in the government hospital. On average, in the government hospital, patients were satisfied with nurse’s communication and behavior and were dissatisfied with general nursing care and care facilities in the ward. In private hospital, no significant association was found between the level of satisfaction perceived by patients and demographic variables viz. age, gender, marital status, days of stay in the hospital and history of previous hospitalization.

Vestibular disorders are the leading cause of dizziness in children. Vestibular disorders in youngsters with and due to Otitis Media Effusion have recently gained attention. The best way to identify vestibular disorders in youngsters is to use crude methods. The majority of the time, the parents’ history is used to form the view. As a result, questionnaires are the finest tool for estimating children. The Pediatric Vestibular Symptom Questionnaire was created and validated to measure children’s private vestibular symptom inflexibility (i.e. dizziness, shakiness), as a reliable and valid tool for assessing the presence and inflexibility of private vestibular symptoms in children with vestibular diseases or concussion provides a tool for assessing the presence and inflexibility of private vestibular symptoms in children with vestibular diseases or concussion. The questionnaire was used to distinguish between children with vestibular symptoms and healthy controls, and it should be used to detect and quantify vestibular symptoms that require further examination and treatment. The adaptation of the same in Malayalam Language among the natives of Kerala, the Southern Indian states were used widely to evaluate and identify the vestibular symptoms among the children for the effective treatment and better prognosis. Based on the statistics and analysis obtained the questionnaire demonstrated robust reliability, construct and discriminate validity.

The present study was carried out with aim to study the effect of early zinc supplementation on growth of low birth weight infants — A randomised control trial in the Department of Paediatrics at Government Medical College and Hospital, to study effect of zinc supplementation on LBW infants. The registered subjects were then randomized into Intervention (Group I, Case) and Non-Intervention (Group II, control) groups using computer generated random number technique. Cases (Group I) were given zinc supplements Syrup Zinc acetate (Syp. Zinconia 5ml=20mg) 2mg/kg single dose in morning at 8 a.m. daily and multivitamins drops 10 drops per day (Vit.A 375 µg, Vit.B1-B6, Vit.D 5µg) for duration of 6 weeks and Controls (Group II) were given multivitamins drops (Vit.A 375 µg, Vit.B1-B6, Vit.D 5µg) 10 drops per day for duration of 6 weeks.There was no significant difference in cases and controls in respect to males and females. No significant difference (p value >0.05) in pattern of intrauterine growth in cases and controls.Fifty percent of our study subjects in both group were of weight more than 1400 grams.Zinc had significant effect on weight gain of pre-terms (AGA and SGA) and term AGA only at the end of 6 weeks. There was only significant effect on length in mean difference at 6 weeks when compared to at 48 hours. There was highly significant difference in supplement group (cases) in weight/length at 6 weeks with minimal or insignificant effect on chest circumference and head circumference.

Palliative care improves the life quality of client and also for their families who are suffering with challenges associated with life-threatening illness, whether physical, psychological, social or spiritual. The quality of caregiver’s life also improves. According to WHO each year, an estimated 40 million people are in need of palliative care; 78% of them people live in low- and middle-income countries. Worldwide, only about 14% of people who need palliative care currently receive it. Unnecessarily restrictive regulations for morphine and other essential controlled palliative medicines deny access to adequate palliative care.

Bipolar disorder is an episodic, potentially life-long, disabling disorder that can be difficult to diagnose. Need to improve recognition, reduce sub-optimal care and improve long-term outcomes. There is variation in management of care across healthcare settings.Characteristics of a Manic Episode: A distinct period of abnormally and persistently elevated, expansive or irritable mood.During the period of mood disturbance, at least three of the following symptoms have persisted (four if the mood is only irritable) and have been persistent to a significant degree.1. Inflated self-esteem or grandiosity. 2. Decreased need for sleep. 3. More talkative than usual or pressure to keep talking. 4. Flight of ideas or subjective experience that thoughts are racing. 5. Distractability, i.e. attention too easily drawn to unimportant or irrelevant external stimuli. 6. Increase in goal-directed activity or psychomotor agitation. 7. Excessive involvement in pleasurable activities which have a high potential for painful consequences, e.g. unrestrained buying sprees, sexual indiscretions, or foolish business investments.Mood disturbance sufficiently severe to cause marked impairment in occupational functioning or in usual social activities or relations with others, or to necessitate hospitalization to prevent harm to self or others.At no time during the disturbance have there been delusions or hallucinations for as long as two weeks in the absence of prominent mood symptoms. Not superimposed on schizophrenia, schizophrenic form disorder, or delusional disorder or psychotic disorder.The disturbance is not due to the physiologic effects of a substance or general medical disorder.

Parents of the COVID -19 positive hospitalized children are facing different psychological stresses which are affecting child’s care and well-being. To determine the psychological stress, anxiety and depression and to identify the associated influencing factors in mothers of hospitalized COVID-19 infected children In this cross-sectional observational study, 150 mothers of COVID-19 positive hospitalized children in a paediatric tertiary care hospital were randomly selected and studied. Data collection tool was a two part questionnaire; the first part was based on ‘Perceived stress scale-10’ and ‘Hospital anxiety and depression scale’ and the second part included stressors related to COVID-19 pandemic selected based on previous researches. The incidence of these stressors and their significance in causing stress, anxiety and depression was assessed using standard statistical methods.83.4% had moderate psychological stress, 35% had significant anxiety and 38% had significant depression. Worry about hospital bed availability and treatment cost (Odd’s ratio>9) and worry about getting infection (Odd’s ratio>8) as main stressors for stress, concern about family members and worry about getting infection (Odd’s ratio>9 for both) as main factors for anxiety and concern about family members (Odd’s ratio>22) as main factor for depression was found in study population. This pandemic has imposed grave psychological impact on mothers of hospitalized COVID infected children and various influencing social factors have been identified through our study. Holistic approach including socio-economic, administrative and political measures should be taken and adequate psychological support should be provided to address maternal mental health related issues.
