Nursing has seen the emergence of the term "empowerment" in its lexicon. As the largest healthcare professional group, nurses play a vital role in encouraging patients to take action toward achieving both health and sustained development aspirations. The nursing profession is faced with a range of challenges that necessitate an immediate need to invest in healthcare workers. New nurses with superior qualifications are essential to handle these tribulations. It is imperative that student nurses be endowed with the necessary means and resources in order to meet these difficulties during their professional trajectories. So descriptive study was conducted to spot light on the areas of empowerment among the student nurses during their training period. 146 samples were recruited by purposive sampling technique. Tool has two parts demographic variables and domains of empowerment (Communication, stewardship, access to information and resources, training opportunities, research and clinical competence). Data was collected by Google forms. The results showed that student nurses have the ability to communicate effectively and have access to information and resources; however, they require further development of multilingual skills. Stewardship, training opportunities, research, and clinical competency were found to be areas needing improvement as the mean score for most statements was lower than average.

A Urinary tract Infection is bacterial infection that can affect any part of the urinary tract. This includes the kidneys, which make urine, ureters, tubes that carry urine from kidney and the urethra, the tube that carries urine from bladder out of body.1 Urinary tract infections (UTI) are common problems in the female population.8 They are familiar to many women. Approximately 50 % of all women have at least one such infection in their lifetime. Study by Fakhria J. M showed that girl students sometimes use analgesic to reduce the pain caused due to UTI.2,5 According to WHO, Urinary Tract Infections is one of the leading cause of morbidity. About half female population report UTI during some point in their lives. It has high mortality and morbidity rates as well. Generally, women are 10 to 30 times prone to develop UTI as compared to men. UTI is treatable and preventable. But majority of the adolescent girls do not have adequate knowledge on Causes and preventive measures of urinary tract infection.3,4 Parents of adolescent girls should have adequate knowledge on adolescent health so that common diseases that may occur during adolescent period e.g urinary tract infection can be prevented. But research study by Hepsi Bai J revealed that some parents of adolescent girls do not have adequate knowledge regarding adolescent health. The study found that 60% of the parents had adequate knowledge regarding adolescent health.6 Study by Alphonsa Pascal also found that adolescent girls don’t have adequate knowledge on prevention of urinary tract infection and adolescent girls gained knowledge on UTI after planned teaching programme on UTI.7 Aims and Objectives: To assess the knowledge regarding Urinary Tract Infections among the adolescent girls of age group of 13-16 years in Carmel School, Digboi, Assam, to find out association between the knowledge Urinary Tract Infection among the adolescent girls of age group of 13-16 years and selected demographic variables in Carmel School, Digboi, Assam. Research methodology: This was a non-experimental quantitative descriptive research design. This study was conducted among adolescent girls of age group 13-16 years of Carmel School, Digboi. Self structured validated questionnaire in English language were prepared for demographic pro-forma; to assess the knowledge on Urinary Tract Infection. It includes 12 questions on demographic pro-forma, 22 questions on knowledge on Urinary Tract Infection. Results: Researcher assess the level of knowledge on Urinary Tract Infection among the adolescent girls of 13-16 years in Carmel School, Digboi and found that among 40 girls, most of them 32(80%) had moderately adequate knowledge, 5(12.5%) had adequate knowledge and 3(7.5%) had inadequate knowledge on Urinary Tract Infection. Level of Knowledge was not significantly associated between the knowledge regarding Urinary Tract Infection among the adolescent girls and selected demographic variables. Conclusion: The adolescent girls
尿路感染是指可影响尿路任何部位的细菌感染。其中包括制造尿液的肾脏、从肾脏输送尿液的输尿管以及将尿液从膀胱排出体外的尿道。约有 50% 的女性一生中至少发生过一次此类感染。Fakhria J. M 的研究表明,女学生有时会使用镇痛剂来减轻尿路感染引起的疼痛。约有一半的女性在一生中的某个阶段都会患上尿道炎。它的死亡率和发病率也很高。一般来说,女性患尿道炎的几率是男性的 10 到 30 倍。尿毒症是可以治疗和预防的。但大多数青春期少女对尿路感染的原因和预防措施缺乏足够的了解。3,4 青春期少女的父母应充分了解青春期健康知识,以便预防青春期可能发生的常见疾病,如尿路感染。但 Hepsi Bai J 的研究发现,一些少女的父母对青春期健康知识了解不足。6 Alphonsa Pascal 的研究也发现,青春期少女对尿路感染的预防缺乏足够的了解,而经过有计划 的尿路感染教学计划后,青春期少女对尿路感染有了一定的了解:评估阿萨姆邦迪格博伊市卡梅尔学校 13-16 岁年龄组少女对尿路感染的了解程度,找出阿萨姆邦迪格博伊市卡梅尔学校 13-16 岁年龄组少女对尿路感染的了解程度与选定人口统计学变量之间的关联。研究方法:本研究采用非实验性定量描述性研究设计。研究对象是迪博伊卡梅尔学校 13-16 岁年龄组的少女。研究人员用英语编制了自我结构化验证问卷,用于调查人口统计学方面的问题,以及对尿路感染知识的评估。问卷包括 12 个人口统计学问题和 22 个尿路感染知识问题。结果研究人员对迪博伊卡梅尔学校(Carmel School)13-16 岁少女的尿路感染知识水平进行了评估,结果发现,在 40 名少女中,32 人(80%)对尿路感染的知识掌握得比较好,5 人(12.5%)掌握得比较好,3 人(7.5%)掌握得不够好。少女对尿路感染的了解程度与选定的人口统计学变量之间没有明显关联。结论少女对尿路感染的了解程度适中。研究发现,知识水平与选定的人口统计学变量之间没有明显关联。

Material and Methods: A Descriptive co-relational design was adopted and 100 nurses working in oncology wards, common wards and private wards of St. John’s Medical College Hospital, Bangalore were selected by purposive sampling method. Two standardized tools. Quality of Work Life Evaluation Scale and Spiritual Intelligence Self – Report Inventory were used to access the quality of work life with spiritual intelligence among nurses caring for oncology patients respectively. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: Showed that the mean quality of work life scores of nurses caring for oncology patients was 126.16 and mean spiritual intelligence scores was 63.64. The results also revealed that there was a weak positive correlation between Quality of Work Life and Spiritual Intelligence (r=0.12) which was significant at p<0.05. This shows that as spiritual intelligence increases quality of work life increases. There was no significant association between QOWL and SI with baseline variables. Conclusion: The study showed that there is a significant correlation between Quality of Work Life and Spiritual Intelligence among nurses caring for oncology patients. Therefore, it is important to increase the spiritual intelligence of oncology nurses through a sensitization awareness programme and hence create a work environment where nurses can understand its importance and this will help to achieve a higher quality of work life.

A study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of Iron supplementary ball on haemoglobin level among adolescent girls with nutritional deficiency anemia at selected Nursing colleges, Thanjavur. An experimental research design was used for this study. Samples were selected by using simple random (lottery method) sampling technique. The investigator assessed the haemoglobin level by using Sahli’s method in both experimental and control group. Then from day 2 to day 31 Iron supplementary ball intervention was given to the experimental group sample after breakfast under the supervision of the researcher for a period of 30 days. After 30 days the investigator assessed the posttest level of haemoglobin in both groups. The mean value 10.27 with standard deviation 1.91 in experimental group was higher than the mean value 9.49 with standard deviation 1.38 in control group. The ‘t’ test calculated Value 10.933 was higher than the Table Value 2.05 (CV> TV) which is significant at 0.05 level. The statistical analysis reveals that there was a significant differences in posttest levels of haemoglobin among adolescent in experimental group in comparison with control group. So the given Iron supplementary ball was effective in proving haemoglobin level among the adolescent girls.

Maternal and Child health services deliver health care to a special population vulnerable to disease, disability, and death. These groups are women in the reproductive age group (15-45years) and children under the age of five years. These groupscover 31.6% of the total Indian population. The study aims to describe and compare the knowledge and attitude of women in selected urban and rural areas regarding MCH services. A community-based comparative descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted among 60 women, each of 30 from urban and rural areas. Participants were selected for the study by non-probability convenient sampling technique. The data was collected by using a structured questionnaire consisting the items related to knowledge of MCH services and a Likert scale was used to assess the attitude of women towards MCH services. The collected data were analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. The result showed that the majority (60%) of rural women had moderately adequate knowledge and 66.7% of women in urban areas had adequate knowledge. With regard to the attitude of the women in rural areas, the majority 90% had positive attitudes and 10% had negative attitudes. In urban areas, the majority 96.7% hada positive attitude and 3.3% hada negative attitude. The knowledge mean score was 17.76 in rural women and 19.1 in urban women. The mean attitude score was 47.2 and 50.2 respectively in rural and urban women regarding MCH services, which elicited that there was no significant difference in knowledge and attitudes of urban and rural women regarding MCH services.

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between internet addiction and psychosocial issues among college students in selected colleges. To assess this correlation, the researchers employed two rating scales, one for measuring the level of internet addiction and another for assessing the level of psychosocial well-being. These tools were validated by experts in the fields of nursing and psychiatry, with a high reliability score of r=0.9, determined using suitable formulas. The research began with a pilot study involving 10 participants, and the collected data were subjected to both descriptive and inferential statistical analyses, which were then interpreted based on the study's objectives and hypotheses. The majority of the sample (61.43%) fell within the age group of 21-22 years, while the remaining participants were distributed as follows: 17.14% in the 18-20 age group and 21.43% above 22 years of age. In terms of internet addiction, 60% of the participants exhibited "mild internet addiction," with 25.71% classified as having "moderate internet addiction," and the remaining 14.29% showing "no internet addiction”. Regarding psychosocial problems, 51.43% of the samples had "mild psychosocial problems," while 42.86% displayed "no noticeable psychosocial problems," and the remaining 5.71% exhibited "moderate psychosocial problems.". **Name of colleges not mentioned as a part of maintaining privacy.

Background: People with mental illness often experience stigmatized attitudes from the general public and health professionals themselves. Objectives: This study aimed to examine and compare the attitude toward mental illness among nursing students at one of the government nursing colleges in Oman. Methods: The study used a cross-sectional approach, using a quantitative, descriptive-comparative design with a sample size of 177 students from first-, second-, and third-year nursing programs. The data were gathered through an online Google Survey Form using an adapted attitude Scale toward mental illness-Singapore Version (AMI-SG). The data was analyzed using descriptive analysis such as frequency, percentage, mean, median, standard deviation, and inferential statistics using ANOVA/t-test. Results: The study findings revealed that the overall attitude of nursing students in one of the public nursing colleges was positive (53.1%) toward the patient with mental illness. Most of the second (59.3%) and third-year (62.1%) students had positive attitudes compared to the first years (40%); however, the difference was not statistically significant (p>.05). Conclusion: Even though there was no significant difference in attitudes towards mental illness among different groups, overall, nursing students harbored a positive attitude towards patients. Overall, students were positive towards social distancing, social restrictiveness, prejudice, and misconception, except for tolerance/support for community care. Therefore, gaining insight into nursing students' tolerance/support towards mental illness needs further evaluation. Early exposure to mental health courses and awareness programs on mental issues may favor a positive attitude among future nursing professionals toward people with mental illness. The study calls for further studies with larger samples to validate our study findings with various health professionals to minimize the stigmatized attitude with a broader scope.

Background: A pre-experimental study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of video assisted teachingon knowledge regarding management of typhoid fever among home makersin selected community areas, Kishtwar, Jammu and Kashmir. A total sample of 60 home makerswere selected using the convenient sampling technique. The objectives of the study were to assess the knowledgeregarding management of typhoid fever among home makersbefore and after video assisted teachingand to find out the effectiveness of video assisted teaching on knowledge regarding management of typhoid fever among home makers. The final objective was to determine the knowledge regarding themanagement of typhoid feverand selected demographic variables. Materials and Methods: A one-group pre-test post-test design was used to conduct the study. A sample comprising of 60 home makers were enrolled using convenient sampling technique. The conceptual framework used in the study was based onKing’s Goal attainment Theory. Results: Data analysis was done using descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings of the study revealed that the mean post-test knowledge score 25.57±3.202was significantly higher than the mean pre-test knowledge score 12.20±3.704(p<0.05). Paired t value computed at 30.28* was statistically significant at p<0.05, which revealed that, there is significant increase in the mean post-test knowledge score. Significant association at 0.05 level was observed between knowledge with regard to age and educational status. Conclusion: The findings of the study confirmed that the video assisted teaching was significantly effective in improving the knowledgeregarding management of typhoid fever among home makers.

In recent years, the relevance of ethical, psychological, social, and cultural elements of birthing across many groups has led to the promotion of respectful maternity care (RMC). Although the concept of respectful maternity care is to promote woman-centered care, respecting women's beliefs, autonomy, dignity, and preferences to reserve their right to have a companion during childbirth. RMC is a fundamental right of all women. Disrespect and abuse (D&A) are violations of fundamental ethical standards, human rights, and fundamental patient care duties. Intrapartum respectful maternity care can affect the mother’s experiences of childbirth. This article is aimed to determine the status of respectful maternity care and its relationship with childbirth experience among Indian women.
