A study aimed to assess the knowledge regarding the management of COVID 19 patients among staff nurses in National Capital Region Institute of Medical Sciences at Nalpur, Meerut. Non experimental, descriptive Survey research design was used for this study. A non-probability convenient sampling technique was adopted for this study. The validity and reliability of the tool was established. Closed ended questionnaire was used to collect the data. Data was analysed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. Result of the study reveals that, majority of nurse belongs to the age group of 20-25 years (80%) and lowest percentage of nurses belongs to the age group of 25-30 years (20%). Most of the nurses were females 19(63%) and remains nurses were males 11(37%). Majority of the nurses have the qualification of GNM 18(60%), other nurses have the qualification of B.sc nursing 9(30%) and ANM 3(10%). Majority of the nurses belongs to the 0-2 year working experience 19(63%) other nurses have in the group of 2-4 year working experience 11(37%). Most of the nurses won’t attended previous COVID19 training program 16(53%) Some nurses were attended COVID 19 training program previously14 (47%). In the source of information, majority of the nurses were got the information from internet 20(66.7%) remains nurses were got the information from newspaper6 (20%) and4 (13.3%) respectively. Knowledge score of the staff nurses was 51.3%. The overall mean and standard deviation of staff nurses regarding the knowledge was 10.3+2.89. There is a significant association between the levels of knowledge with education, previous work experience and sources of information of nurses at p<0.05 level. It concluded that nurses have average knowledge regarding management of COVID19 patients.

Background: Bruising is one of the most common adverse events following administration of enoxaparin sodium, which can lead to unpleasant consequences such as reduced access to various sites for injection, reduced satisfaction of patients from treatment and care provided. Cold application is helpful for better management of these side effects which could be easily accessible and economical for the patients. Cold application appears to be cheaper and easily available. Aim: The purpose of this study was to identify the effectiveness of ice pack application on level of pain and bruise formation among patients receiving subcutaneous low molecular weight heparin. Method: Quasi experimental nonequivalent control group posttest only design was adopted. The population comprised of 60 patients receiving subcutaneous low molecular weight heparin from selected hospitals of Pune. Sample of the study were 60 patients receiving subcutaneous low molecular weight heparin patients selected by convenient sampling. The patients in experimental group were provided with ice pack application before receiving subcutaneous low molecular weight heparin to reduce the level of pain and bruise formation. Data was collected by using numerical pain scale, visual analog scale and transparent ruler scale. Result: The study findings showed that average numerical pain score in experimental group was 3.87 and 6.33 in control group. Bruise size was measured in cm. In experimental group Average bruise formation size was 0.0233 after 24 hours of injection, 0.1633 after 48 hours of injection and 0.1766 after 72 hours of injection compared to control group 0.2733 after 24 hours of injection, 0.3933 after 48 hours of injection and 0.4066 after 72 hours of injection. There is significant difference in mean scores of experimental and control group. Conclusion: The findings of the study shows that the ice pack application is effective in reducing the level of pain and bruise formation among patients receiving
