Stress can be defined as a state of worry or mental tension caused by a difficult situation. Every human being has his own understanding of stress. Stress is a natural human response that prompts us to address challenges and threats in our lives. The types of Stress are Acute Stress and Chronic Stress. Acute Stress is the body’s quick reaction to a new and challenging situation whereas chronic stress is Long-term stress experienced for an extended period which can create a negative impact on a person’s health. Things that cause stress are “stressors,” and stress is the personal reaction to that stressors. A number of scientists classified stressors as Biological Stressors, Psychological Stressors, Acute Stressors, Chronic Stressors, Environmental Stressors, Internal Stressors and Psychosocial Stressors. Stress is influenced by internal and external factors of a person. Stress causes different types of impacts on the physical body. Stress has negative consequences on various aspects of quality of life. Chronic stress can lead to or exacerbate mood disorders such as depression and anxiety, bipolar disorder, cognitive (thinking) problems, personality changes, and problem behaviours. Stress management techniques help to reduce stress. Understanding the sources of stress provides opportunities for planning interventions that would reduce the stressors.

The Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). It has been recognized as a pandemic by WHO, and the rate is succeeding in day by day as mostly as community spread. Even though the invention of vaccines has a great result, we must continue the essential public health actions to suppress transmission and reduce mortality. The purpose of the study is to identify the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding the prevention and management of covid-19 among housewives in selected areas of Alappuzha district in Kerala. The research method adopted for this study is an interventional study of one group pretest posttest type was design. The study group consists of 50 housewives selected by convenient sampling technique. The researcher assessed the knowledge regarding the prevention and management of COVID-19 using a structured knowledge questionnaire followed by a structured teaching programme. The study revealed that on pretest only 44% of samples had a good knowledge, 30% had average knowledge and 26% had poor knowledge whereas during the posttest all the samples scored good knowledge level. The study revealed that the structured teaching programme was effective in improving the knowledge score among the housewives. The study pointed out a clear need for training programme with respect to a specific cluster of population emplaning upon their respective lifestyle, to improve the knowledge and compliance about risk and preventive measures. As a nursing professional, we have a crucial role creating awareness by innovative ways which should be adopted as one of the best practices to combat the spread of pandemic.

Learning and reproducing the contents learnt during examination is a part of every student’s life especially in professional courses like nursing where the entire curriculum is made concise into four years. Making the teaching and learning strategies more student-friendly has helped to retain student’s attention and insist in them the interest to learn and perform better. Jigsaw Technique is one of the cooperative learning technique in which students equally participates, prepares and leads a group thus learning for themselves as well as preparing for their group. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of jigsaw learning technique on nursing students in learning a concept of Preeclampsia, as it is found beneficial in teaching. The technique also helps to revolve the learning material for peers in learning process and thereby help to build interpersonal and interactive skills among students. 50 B.Sc nursing students were selected and their pre-knowledge level on the concepts of preeclapmpsia was assessed. The same group was taught the Jigsaw Technique of learning to study the concept and the students were divided into 5 groups. A day was fixed to organize the Jigsaw classroom. After one week, their post knowledge was assessed. There was a significant difference in the performance of the students on the self-administered questionnaire before and after the intervention. The posttest score was increased (21.62) than the pretest knowledge mean score of 10.48. The calculated paired t’ test at 0.05 level of significance was 3.76 which is greater than the table value of 1.684. Thus, the Jigsaw Learning method proved to be an effective educational learning tool for nursing students.

Introduction: The authors conducted a qualitative, thematic analysis of focus group data to review the practicing psychiatric nurses’ opinion on their role as facilitators in delivering drug avoidance and therapeutic adherence instructional modules to maintain sobriety, improve motivation to treatment participation and quality of life among persons diagnosed with substance use disorders. Methods: Four focus group sessions were conducted at a large psychosocial rehabilitation center among practicing psychiatric nurses. Each focus group comprised four to nine nurses who were having working experience in the de-addiction unit for a minimum period of 6 months. Their responses related to the opinions, ideas, perceptions, and concerns regarding the content, layout, and design of the instructional module on drug avoidance and therapeutic adherence strategies were recorded and transcribed. Results: A total of 22 psychiatric nurses participated in the focus group session. The themes identified from the transcribed responses were organized into two topics: (a) The strategies of drug avoidance and therapeutic adherence that the nurses perceived useful to the persons with SUDs and (b) the Design and layout of the instructional material and its delivery. Twelve subthemes were derived under these topics by analyzing FGD data. Discussion: This study was exploratory in nature and identified areas that can be utilized for further qualitative inquiry on drug avoidance and therapeutic adherence strategies and their effective delivery.

Background of the Study: Biomedical waste has become a serious health hazard in many countries, including India. In many countries, hazardous and medical wastes are still handled and disposed together with domestic wastes, thus creating a great health risk to municipal workers, the public and the environment. The present study was conducted to assess the knowledge and attitude of nurses regarding biomedical waste management in selected hospitals of Gulbarga. Objectives of The Study: 1 To assess the Knowledge of nurses regarding Biomedical waste management. 2 To assess the Attitude of nurses regarding Biomedical waste management. 3 To correlate the knowledge and attitude of nurses regarding Biomedical waste management. 4 To find out the association between the Knowledge and Attitude of nurses regarding Biomedical waste management and selected socio-demographic variables. Method: A descriptive approach with descriptive survey design was used for this study. The study was carried out in selected hospitals of Gulbarga. The sample comprised of 100 nurses who met the inclusion criteria from the selected hospitals were chosen by purposive sampling technique. Data was collected by administering a structured knowledge questionnaire and Likert’s Attitude scale. The data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics Results: Mean percentage of knowledge score was 57.3%. Majority 66% had moderate knowledge regarding biomedical waste management. Mean percentage of attitude score was 73.49%. Majority 60% had moderately favourable attitude regarding biomedical waste management. The correlation between knowledge and attitude was found to be significant (r- 0.617). No significant association was found between the knowledge and selected demographic variables such as gender, designation, previous information and working area (χ2 =1.846, 3.375, 11.237 and 11.647). But significant association was found between the knowledge of nurses and age, professional qualification, clinical experience and type of hospital (χ2 =20.225, 10.474, 19.717 and 6.221). No significant association was found between the attitude of nurses and selected demographic variables such as age, professional qualification, designation, clinical experience, previous information, type of hospital and working area (χ2 =3.219, 3.571, 2.168, 1.341, 2.800, 0.815 and 5.828). But a significant association was found between the attitude of nurses and gender (χ2 =4.920). Interpretation and Conclusion: The study had shown that majority of the nurses had moderate knowledge and moderately favourable attitude regarding biomedical waste management. Hence, it was concluded that nurses need to be educated on biomedical waste management in order to achieve better care.
