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.

Background: The overall smokeless tobacco users in India is 29.6% as per Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS 2). Chewing tobacco causes dependence and various health risk among the users. The purpose of this study was to assess the pattern, contributing factors and associated oral health problems related to chewing tobacco use among adults. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 130 adults residing in a selected urban area of Odisha. A convenient sampling technique was adopted and the data was collected using structured questionnaire, Fagerstrom Nicotine Dependence Scale for smokeless tobacco (FTND-ST) and observational checklist. The data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The mean age among chewing tobacco users was 41.01+10.75 with majority being males (82.3%) using chewing tobacco. The participants with no formal education (32.3%) and those who are self employed (59.2%) have a considerable percentage of using chewing tobacco. 56.2% of participants were mild to moderately dependent on chewing tobacco whereas 43.8% of the adults were severely dependent. About 36% of participants were influenced by peer group for using chewing tobacco. The associated oral health issues among users include bad breath (50%), tooth discoloration (90.8%), dental caries (53.1%), build-up of plaque and tartar over teeth (77.7%) and adverse effect on gum (37.7%) which includes pain on gums, swelling and redness. About 7% of users took their last dip of chewing tobacco within 5 minutes before going to bed. There is significant association among participants who consume chewing tobacco on daily basis with oral health problems like plaque and tartar on teeth, blackish gum discoloration and spontaneous gum bleeding. Conclusion: The present study signifies the need of lifestyle hygiene and the importance of self- motivation and medical attention for quitting chewing tobacco.

Fatigue is a common symptom experienced by nurses before the pandemic, but this experience is heightened by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The literature has ample evidence of nurses experiencing occupational or work-related fatigue. In addition, human error is a significant consequence of fatigue that can significantly impact patient outcomes and be devastating for a nurse. Guided by Lazarus and Folkman's Transactional Theory of Stress and Coping, we conducted a descriptive, correlational and cross-sectional study aimed to 1) explore the level of occupational fatigue and sleep quality among Filipino nurses working during the COVID-19; 2) determine the relationships between occupational fatigue, sleep quality, and subjective wellbeing among Filipino nurses working during COVID-19 pandemic. One hundred twenty-six Filipino nurses across the United States working during the pandemic were surveyed using RedCap. The study showed that Filipino nurses had moderate to high acute and chronic fatigue levels, lower intershift recovery, and good sleep quality. Evidence and opportunities for health care administrations to create strategies to enhance the wellbeing of their largest and most valuable workforce.

Adolescent years are a time of increased growth that is accompanied by increase in appetite and nutritional requirements. Accelerated growth and poor eating habits make the adolescent at risk for poor nutritional health. A study was aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of dietary interventions on iron deficiency anemia among adolescent girls from selected rural areas in Dharapuram. Evaluative approach was used for this study. Pre experimental one group pretest and post-test design was adopted to conduct the study. Conceptual frame work used for the study was revised penders health promotion model (2002). 60 Adolescent girls with hemoglobin level of below 11gm/dl were selected as samples by using Non probability purposive sampling technique. The demographic variables of selected samples were assessed by self-administered questionnaire. The signs and symptoms of iron deficiency anemia was assessed by using observational checklist and the level of hemoglobin was assessed by Sahli’s hemoglobinmeter. Dietary intervention of sweet rice flake ball (50gm) and one gooseberry was given for 30 days, made the samples to consume in front of the researcher. After 30 days of dietary intervention post-test level of hemoglobin and the signs and symptoms were assessed. The data were analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study findings revealed that in pretest 53(88.3%) had the signs and symptoms at mild level, 7(11.7%) had moderate level. In post-test 59(98.3%) had signs and symptoms at mild level, 1(1.7%) had moderate level of signs and symptoms among adolescent girls with iron deficiency anemia. The study results revealed that the mean score of pretest and post-test level of hemoglobin among adolescent girls were 8.95(SD±1.13) and 11.24(SD±1.54) respectively. The mean difference was 2.29. The paired ‘t’ value was 13.5. Which was significant at P<0.05 level. Chi - Squre test revealed that the demographic variables like Age (χ2 = 11.29), number of children in the family (χ2 = 20.89) Food habits (χ2 = 10.43), number of days of menstruation (χ2 = 15.62), habit of foot wear while going out (χ2 = 24.12) had significant association with post-test level of hemoglobin among adolescent girls at P<0.05 level. The study concluded that the dietary intervention of sweet rice flake and one gooseberry plays an important role in the improvement of hemoglobin among adolescent girls.

Carom seed oil has been found to relieve the menstrual discomfort by relaxing the uterine muscles and decreasing the intra uterine pressure. Leaves and their essence are aromatic, stimulant, carminative and antispasmodic. This is also used in case of vomiting, gastric colic, diarrhea and menstrual cramps. Therefore, it was intended to do an experimental study to examine the effect of Carom seed oil on menstrual cramps with an assumption that this therapy may relieve menstrual cramps. The research design selected for the present study is experimental research design. The study was conducted in the Global College of Nursing at Bangalore. The criteria for the selection of the setting are the availability of subjects, feasibility of conducting the study. The target population in the present study was adolescent girls studying in Global College of Nursing at Bangalore. The sample of this study comprised of 60 adolescent girls. Simple random sampling (Random table number) method was used to draw the sample. A Visual Analogues Scale (VSA) to assess the pain intensity of the students. The findings revealed that in experimental group, majority of the subjects, 24 (80%) had severe pain, 6 (20%) subjects had moderate pain, none had severe pain, and in control group majority of the subjects, 22 (73.3%) had severe pain, 8 (26.6%) subjects had moderate pain, none had pain. After the intervention, in experimental group, majority of the subjects, 24 (80%) had mild pain, 6 (20%) subjects had moderate pain, none had severe and in control group majority of the subjects, 25 (83.3%) had moderate pain, 5 (16.6%) subjects had mild pain and none severe pain. The adolescent girls had reduction in the menstrual cramps as evidenced by the results shown. Hence carom seed oil is effective in the reduction of menstrual cramps and it was found to be less cost effective procedure. Therefore, carom seed oil should be used as a supportive therapy among adolescent girls to alleviate menstrual cramps.

Corona Virus Disease-19 (COVID-19) has caused psychological distress in patients with chronic diseases, irrespective of whether they had contracted COVID infection or not. However, coping with such serious impact is necessary and the outcome varies based on the coping strategies adapted. Hence this research was conducted to analyze the perceived psychological impact of COVID-19 on patients affected with selected chronic diseases and their coping strategies. Following proportionate stratified Sampling technique 144 Subjects, who had not contracted COVID-19 during the study period but were admitted with history of selected chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease in selected acute care, adult wards of a tertiary care hospital in India, were selected for the study. After obtaining consent, data was collected through interview using researcher prepared instrument. Majority of the study Subjects (57.6%) were above 50 years of age and 56.9% were females. 13.6% of the subjects expressed moderate psychological impact due to COVID pandemic. 64% of the study subjects reported to practice less amount of avoidant coping. Majority of them (62.5%) had followed high amounts of emotion focused coping and 34% of them had followed problem focused coping. As we continue to face ongoing threats of COVID, it is our vital responsibility to teach patients and public on positive coping strategies to reduce their psychological impact and to prevent them from taking resort with maladaptive coping strategies.
