Background: Japanese encephalitis (JE) is caused by the Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) resulting in brain infection. Mosquitoes, specifically those of the Culextype are responsible for spread Japanese encephalitis. The disease mostly occurs outside of cities. JE can be prevent by Japanese encephalitis vaccine, which is both safe and effective to use. Other measures include avoiding mosquito bites. Objectives: To assess the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding Japanese Encephalitis among the adults of a selected rural community, Kamrup, Assam. Material and Method: The study adopted a Pre-experimental one group pre-test post-test design, 130 adults of Ural Loflong, Sonapur, Assam were recruited as sample of the study using non probability convenient as sampling technique. Demographic data, structured knowledge questionnaire on Japanese Encephalitis were used to collect the data. The data in the study were analysed by Descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The finding of the study revealed that 32.30% of adults were in age group of 41-50 years, 56.92% adults were female, 44.61% adults were married, 54.62% of adults were from nuclear family, 33.84% adults were having primary education, 34.61% of adults were employed and 34.61% were unemployed, 34.61% adults have family income less than 5000, 39.23% of them have semi-pucca house, 76.92% adults have open drainage system, 74.61% of adults use mosquito net, 86.92% adults doesn’t rear pigs, 89.23% of adults doesn’t have previous history of Japanese Encephalitis. The Mean difference and Standard Deviation difference of knowledge score is 6.80±1.12. There was a significant difference between pre test and post test (t= 30.69, df=129, p=0.001) at 0.05 level of significance. So, it reflects that the structured teaching programme was found effective. There was significant association of pre-test knowledge with demographic variables like type of family, educational qualification and type of house but there was no significant association of pre-test knowledge with demographic variables like age, gender, marital status, drainage system, use of mosquito net, rearing of pigs and previous family history. Conclusion: Based on the study findings, it is concluded that the structured teaching programme improved the knowledge regarding Japanese Encephalitis.

The novice demand for nursing education in this era is to help reduce the competition among the students, promote cooperation and boost a healthy study environment by embracing contemporary teaching methods. In the modern teaching methods, the learner is the primary target. These methods are more activity-based and centre the learner’s mind; which involves them entirely in the process of learning. From a passive listener, the students move toward active participants. A cocktail of all the various methods of teaching should be carried out in the curriculum implementation in nursing academic institutions.

Recent studies shown that the data of clinical, experimental and epidemiological studies indicates that dietary phytoestrogens, flavonoids and polyphenolic compounds have shown most potent activities for prevention in CVDs. The major class of compounds found in phytoestrogen. These phytoestrogens are sub-classified into coumestans, prenylflavonoids and isoflavones. These class having the most active class in estrogenic effects, polyphenols (also known as polyhydroxyphenols includes tannic acid, ellagitannin. These studies also indicate that dietary supplements and food nutrients have profound cardioprotective effects in the primary as well as secondary coronary heart disease and hence they are considered as cardiovascular friendly natural products. The mechanism of cardioprotection produced by dietary nutritional supplements such as phytoestrogens (soy and soy protein), flavonoids (citrus fruits, pulses, red wine, tea and cocoa), olive oil, omega-3 fatty acids (fish oil and fish-based products), lycopene (tomato and tomato-based products), resveratrol (grapes and red wine), coffee, and soy in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disorders have been discussed in the following review (in parenthesis) with the emphasis of epidemiological and clinical studies. Based on the intriguing results of various studies, prophylactic and therapeutic potential of cardiovascular friendly natural products have been suggested.

Introduction: Standard precautions aim to prevent the transmission and control the spread of infectious agents from infected or colonized patients to other people and healthcare personnel. It is thought that nurses' compliance with standard precautions is affected by many factors such as age, gender, education level, professional experience, equipment and personnel status, as well as negative emotional states caused by work intensity and loss of motivation. The loss of physical and emotional strength and motivation is defined as burnout, and its prevalence is increasing among healthcare workers. Our study aimed to evaluate the compliance of nurses working in a university hospital with standard precautions and their burnout levels. Material Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted on nurses working at EskişehirOsmangazi University Hospital between January 2022, and May 2022. The study group consisted of 392 of 500 nurses working in the hospital who agreed to participate in the study. The data were collected through face-to-face interviews using a questionnaire form that utilized the literature. In our study, the "Compliance with Standard Precautions Scale" (CSPS) was used to determine the level of compliance with standard precautions and the "Maslach Burnout Scale" was used to determine the level of burnout. Mann Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis tests and Spearman Correlation analysis were used to analyze the data. Results: Of the participants, 83.4% were female, and 16.6% were male. Their ages ranged between 22 and 58 years, with a mean of 31.49±7.5 years. The scores of the nurses on the CSPS ranged from 0 to 19, with a mean of 13.7±3.3 (median: 14) points. It was found that women, those with a total working period of 5 years or more, and those who received any training on infectious disease prevention methods had higher scores on the CSPS (p<0.05 for each). It was determined that there was a weak negative correlation between the scores obtained by the nurses from the CSPS and the scores obtained from the emotional burnout and depersonalization sub-dimensions, and a weak positive correlation between the scores obtained from the personal achievement sub-field. Conclusion: The study showed that nurses' level of compliance with standard precautions was moderate, and some variables affected the level of compliance with standard precautions. It was thought that the compliance of healthcare workers with standard precautions would increase further with motivations such as updating the knowledge of healthcare workers with continuous in-service trainings and improving working conditions.

It was found that women, those with a total working period of 5 years or more, and those who received any training on infectious disease prevention methods had higher scores on the CSPS (p<0.05 for each). It was determined that there was a weak negative correlation between the scores obtained by the nurses from the CSPS and the scores obtained from the emotional burnout and depersonalization sub-dimensions, and a weak positive correlation between the scores obtained from the personal achievement sub-field. Conclusion: The study showed that nurses' level of compliance with standard precautions was moderate, and some variables affected the level of compliance with standard precautions. It was thought that the compliance of healthcare workers with standard precautions would increase further with motivations such as updating the knowledge of healthcare workers with continuous in-service trainings and improving working conditions.","PeriodicalId":72313,"journal":{"name":"Asian journal of nursing education and research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79785867","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
Despite the fact that the COVID-19 pandemic is still ongoing, significant progress has been made in pathogen monitoring, identifying sources, fundamental etiology, and clinical therapy. Coronaviruses are a class of large, enveloped, positive-sensed, single-stranded RNA viruses that cause infections in the respiratory tracts of mammals such as humans, bats, and other animals. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), also known as 2019 new coronavirus (2019-nCoV), is an agile respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus that was first discovered in Wuhan, China. It has now expanded to 216 nations and killed over 0.5 million people worldwide, prompting the World Health Organization (WHO) to proclaim it a pandemic. Current review focuses on the role of herbs and herbs-derived secondary metabolites in inhibiting the SARS-CoV-2 virus as well as in the management of post-COVID-19 complications.This strategy will promote and protect the use of medicinal plant resources to support the healthcare system.Plant-derived phytochemicals have already been shown to prevent viral infection and to alleviate post-COVID complications such as parkinsonism, kidney and heart failure, liver and lung damage, and mental problems.We investigated mechanistic approaches of herbal medicines and their phytochemicals as antiviral and post-COVID complications by modulating immunological and inflammatory states in this review.
