Introduction: The outbreak of COVID-19 is a global public health emergency with multifaceted consequences for people’s lives and their mental health. Parenting in the time of COVID-19 can be demanding as parents find themselves in a challenging situation with young, energetic children locked down within the house. People living with young children reported higher mental distress compared to the general public and norms. On top of worries about physical health and financial situation, parents faced several further strains related to combining family and work life due to missing day care options and social distancing measures. With increasing feelings of anxiety and depression due to the COVID-19 pandemic, parents reported higher values of perceived stress. Methods: The aim of the study was to assess the perceived parental stress during Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown. Research design adopted for the study was descriptive survey design. Non probability convenience sampling technique was adopted to select 60 parents of school children for the study in a selected school of Mysuru city. Personal Variable Proforma was used to assess the selected personal variables of parents and parental stress scale to assess the perceived parental stress during Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown. Results: The results of the study revealed the majority 50(83.4%) parents had moderate perceived stress and only 9(15%) parents had severe perceived stress during covid 19 pandemic and lockdown, mean stress score among parents was 40.7 with SD of ±5.1 and the results also depicted that there was that no statistical association betweenperceived parental stress during Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown and their selected personal variables except for type of family and place of residence. Hence null hypothesis was partially accepted. Discussion: The COVID-19 pandemic has had substantial health, social, and economic effects on families. Consequent lockdowns and school closures heightened the burden on parents of school-age children. Many parents, while working from home, had to care for their children with restricted access to caregiver resources and to support their children's education through homeschooling or remote learning provided by their schools. These duties created challenges and pressures on parents. Hence this study was planned to assess the perceived parental stress during Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown in a selected school of Mysuru.

Since the start of the COVID-19 outbreak, World Health Organization (WHO) has worked with countries and areas in the western Pacific region on the public health measures to show or stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Safe and effective vaccine are important tools, in combination with other measures to protect people from COVID-19 and which can save lives and reduces the pandemic in wide3scale. A descriptive study was conducted on attitude and acceptance towards COVID-19 vaccination among the nursing students of Arya Nursing College, Kamrup (R) where 60 students of 1st year B.sc nursing were selected by using Non- probability Purposive Sampling Technique. The tool used in this study were semi-structured questionnaire, rating scale and self-structured questionnaire. The study findings revealed that mean score of attitude and acceptance was 75.46 and 25.76 respectively. The median for positive attitude score, negative attitude score and acceptance score was 41, 44 and 26 respectively, the standard deviation for the attitude score and acceptance score was 8.27 and 3.18 respectively. Most (87%) of the respondents scored on the positive attitude factor i.e encouraging family, relatives and friends to get vaccinated. Whereas in negative attitude factors, most (80%) of the respondents scored on following preventive measures after COVID-19 vaccine is needed. In factors influencing acceptance most of the respondents were concern regarding the COVID-19 vaccines safety and side effects (94%), (87%) were willing to get vaccinated and (85%) trust the information about COVID-19 vaccine from government and private health agencies. In factors influencing unwillingness of taking COVID-19 vaccination most of the respondents were concern regarding COVID-19 vaccine’s safety and side effects (94%). There was a significant positive correlation between positive attitude and acceptance towards COVID-19 vaccination at 0.05 level of significance and also a significant negative correlation between negative attitude and acceptance towards COVID-19 vaccination at 0.05 level of significance. A significant association was found between attitude with age, vaccination against COVID-19 and source of information. From the findings of the present study , it was concluded that most of the respondants had positive attitude towards COVID-19 vaccination and most of the respondants were willing to take vaccine.

Background and Purpose of the study: Pulmonary rehabilitation for patients with COPD is well established and widely accepted as a means to alleviate symptoms and optimize functional status, increase participation, and reduce health care costs by stabilizing or reversing systemic manifestations of the disease. It is a form of rehabilitation dealing with respiratory disorders and limited participation in daily life. Pulmonary rehabilitation includes patient education, exercise training, psychosocial support and advice on nutrition. Pulmonary rehabilitation has been shown to improve exercise capacity, reduce breathlessness, improve health-related quality of life, and decrease healthcare utilization. Pulmonary rehabilitation should be offered to all patients who consider themselves functionally disabled by COPD4. Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) often decrease their physical activity because exercise can worsen dyspnea. The progressive deconditioning associated with inactivity initiates a vicious cycle, with dyspnea becoming problematic at ever lower physical demands. Pulmonary rehabilitation aims to break the cycle. Objectives: 1) To assess the level of knowledge regarding pulmonary rehabilitation in COPD patients among nursing students. 2) To find out the effectiveness of planned teaching programme regarding pulmonary rehabilitation in COPD patients among nursing students. 3) To find out the association between the pre-test knowledge regarding pulmonary rehabilitation in COPD patients with selected socio demographic variables. Approach: Evaluative approach was selected for the study. Design: Quasi-experimental (one group pretest and posttest) was selected for the study. Subjects: 50 nursing students. Sampling Technique: A purposive sampling technique was used to select the sample for study. Data Collection Tool: A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from the subjects. Data Analysis: The obtained data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics and interpreted in terms of objectives and hypothesis of the study. The level of significance was set at 0.05 levels. Results: 88% of the nursing students obtained adequate level of information and 6% had a moderate level of knowledge. None of the staff nurses possessed inadequate level of knowledge Conclusion: In the pretest the subjects had an inadequate knowledge where as in the post test all the subjects had gained adequate knowledge. The study findings indicate that PPT was effective enhancing the knowledge of nursing students regarding pulmonary rehabilitation in COPD patients.

End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) is a serious medical disorder leading to impaired Quality oflife (QOL). QOL as perceived by patients with ESRD is an important measure of patient outcome. However, there is paucity of literature that assesses the QOL of patients on Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) in our country. A descriptive study was undertaken to assess the QOL of patients on CAPD and to determine the relationship between QOL and selected demographic and clinical variables. A total of 33 subjects were chosen by consecutive sampling technique. Data was collected using self-administered Questionnaire - Kidney Disease Quality of life (KDQOL-SF™ 1.3) questionnaire. The mean age was 53.06+80yrs and the most common cause of ESRD was chronic disease (66.7%) i.e. Diabetes mellitus (33.3%). The overall QOL was satisfactory (58.28+11.5). Highest mean QOL scores were in the area of dialysis staff encouragement (87.50), and symptoms (83.01). The lowest mean score of QOL was in the area of burden of kidney disease (32.27), and role physical (38.78). Highest QOL scores in the area of ‘dialysis staff encouragement’ emphasises on the role of nurses and health care team in optimising the QOL of patients on CAPD.

Platelets are parts of the blood that help the blood clot. They are smaller than red or white blood cells. The study intend to assess the existing knowledge regarding platelet transfusion among 3rd year Basic Bsc nursing students. An evaluative approach with one group pre-test post-test design was used for the study. Convenient sampling technique was used to draw 50 nursing students as the sample. Data was collected by administering a structured knowledge questionnaire on platelets transfusion. After collecting the data, computer assisted teaching programme was administered to the subjects on the same day and on 7th day; post-test was conducted using the same questionnaire. The results showed that the mean post-test knowledge score (78.8%) was higher than the mean pre-test knowledge score (38.2%). The calculated ‘t’ value (20.80*) was higher than the table value (t49=1.96). This shows that the computer assisted teaching programme was effective improving the knowledge of nursing students on platelets transfusion. There was significant association between the knowledge score and the selected demographic variable in pre-test for the variables Gender (6.81*), Age group (years) (6.81*), Place of Residence (4.63*) and Previous knowledge on Nurses responsibility (5.35*) and in post-test variables Religion (6.45*), Place of Residence (7.03*), Previous knowledge on Nurses responsibility (6.40*) and Assisted Platelets transfusion (6.45*) were more than the table value at 0.05 level of significance.
