Working mothers may have stress due to various reasons like poor job satisfaction, financial insecurity, emotional responsibility for children, heavy workloads and gender based division of labor. The main objectives of this study are to assess the level of stress among employed mothers and to find out association between stress and selected demographic variables. A non-experimental descriptive design was used in the study. Stress level of employed mothers between the age group of 20-50 years assessed by using rating scale. Collected data was analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistical methods. The study found that majority (50%) experienced only mild stress. The study also revealed that there is significant association between the level of stress among employed mothers and selected demographic variables such as religion, income, presence of working family members and presence of disease.

Deep Vein thrombosis (DVT) is thrombophlebitis of deep veins and is known to be associated with fatal complications. Use of appropriate measures through risk assessment are of vital importance in preventing DVT related complications. Well’s criteria is a beneficial tool in categorizing the patients, therefore may guide in using appropriate preventive strategies and promoting wellbeing of immobilized patients. The present study aimed at assessing the risk and preventive strategies of Deep Vein Thrombosis among patients admitted in Intensive Care Units (ICU) of a selected hospital in Mangaluru. The study was conducted by a descriptive cross sectional design. The study was conducted among 120 ICU admitted patients of Father Muller Medical College Hospital. Purposive sampling technique was used to select sample. The tools used were Well’s criteria for risk assessment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and checklist for preventive strategies used. The patients were assessed after 48 hours of admission to ICU. The findings of the study revealed that there is a significant association between age above 55years (p=0.02) and diagnosis related to medical conditions of the subjects (p=0.02). Out of total 120 subjects assessed, 26 subjects had high DVT risk and 94 subjects had moderate DVT risk. Further assessment on use of preventive measures revealed that among subjects with high DVT risk, 3 subjects were on pneumatic compression devices, 18 on crepe bandages and 1 with LMWH. And out of 94 subjects with moderate DVT risk, 3 were on pneumatic compression devices, 7 on crepe bandages and 2 with LMWH. It is found that mechanical devices for prevention of DVT even though advised are seldom considered due to lack of awareness among the health care personnel towards its positive effect.

In Morocco, nursing education is currently undergoing a major evolution, allowing training institutes to comply with the higher education system. As a result, there is an emerging need for additional training in the form of a Master's degree and a PhD. This provides an opportunity to aspire to an academic and especially a research qualification, and gives an interesting impulse to teaching and research in nursing. This study sought to investigate teachers' perception towards research at the Higher Institute of Nursing Professions and Technics of Health in Rabat. A cross-sectional survey started in Avril 15th 2021 and completed in May10th 2021 was used with a convenience sample of teachers from the High Institute of Nursing Professions and Technics of Health in Rabat and It’s Kenitra annex. Data analysis was performed using the software Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 20. Chi Square test and value at 95% confidence level were used to measure the association between study variables and the teachers research perception. Significance was when 𝑝≤0.05. A total of 77 teachers enrolled in this study. 55.8% were aged 30 to 40 years old, 68.8% were female, 57.1% had a master diploma and 60% had more than 5 years teaching experience. Analyses showed that the most correlated variable were age respectively with research motivation (p=0.03), having research skills (p=0.04) and the fact that the research is stressful (p=0.02). The correlations are significant between the level of education, research skills (p=0.04) and research is stressful (p<0.001). Significant association was demonstrated between training in research methodology and the development of research skills. Research experience was correlated with both research skills (p=0.02) and perception of research as stressful (p<0.001). Despite positive participant’s perception towards research, their lack of skills and educational training in research may influences their involvement in research activities. These shortcomings could be reduced by additional education, support, improved communication, and opportunities to undertake research activities.
在摩洛哥，护理教育目前正在经历重大变革，使培训机构能够符合高等教育体系。因此，出现了对硕士学位和博士学位形式的额外培训的需求。这为追求学术，特别是研究资格提供了机会，并为护理教学和研究提供了有趣的动力。本研究旨在调查教师对拉巴特护理专业和卫生技术高等学院研究的看法。一项横断面调查于2021年4月15日开始，并于2021年5月10日完成，调查对象是拉巴特高级护理专业和卫生技术学院及其肯尼特拉附属机构的教师。使用Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 20软件进行数据分析。采用卡方检验和95%置信水平的值来衡量研究变量与教师研究感知之间的相关性。当𝑝≤0.05时具有显著性。共有77名教师参加了本研究。55.8%的教师年龄在30 ~ 40岁之间，68.8%的教师为女性，57.1%的教师具有硕士学历，60%的教师具有5年以上的教学经验。分析显示，年龄与研究动机(p=0.03)、研究技能(p=0.04)和研究压力(p=0.02)相关程度最高。教育水平、研究技能(p=0.04)与研究压力(p<0.001)之间存在显著相关性。研究方法的培训与研究技能的发展之间存在着显著的联系。研究经验与研究技能(p=0.02)和研究压力感知(p<0.001)相关。尽管参与者对研究有积极的看法，但他们缺乏研究技能和教育培训可能会影响他们参与研究活动。这些缺点可以通过额外的教育、支持、改进的交流和开展研究活动的机会来减少。

Since the inception of the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), there has been immense stress and concerns among the health care workers (HCWs). This has led to exposure of HCWs as well as their families to unprecedented levels of risk. In India, there is paucity of data on the concerns regarding COVID-19 outbreak among HCWs. Therefore, a descriptive study was undertaken among the HCWs in a secondary hospital, Odisha, India. The study included 152 subjects. A self- administered questionnaire was used to assess the concerns. The results revealed that the HCWs were confident enough of working in the hospital and didn’t want to opt for a new job (95%). Majority of the subjects (94%) were confident of telling others about the nature of their job, while 64% of them accepted that there is an element of risk in their job. These concerns of the HCWs may affect their overall work effectiveness and the productivity especially during the pandemic and should be taken into consideration and addressed at the earliest for desired outcome of the institution.

The microorganism uses the person’s body to sustain itself, reproduce, and colonize. These infectious microscopic organisms are known as pathogens, and they can multiply quickly. A CLABSI is a serious infection that occurs in the blood stream due to catheter use. Central line-associated blood stream infections (CLABSI) are a major cause of healthcare -associated morbidity and mortality. This type of infection is serious, but often can be successfully treated with antibiotics. CLABSI can be prevented by choosing a vein where the catheter can be safely inserted and where the risk for infection is small, proper hand washing, use of protective equipment like gloves and a sterile gown and careful cleaning of the area around the catheter. Every day, healthcare providers should assess whether the patient needs to have the catheter, and remove it as soon as it is no longer needed.

Obesity is a multifaceted disease that is frequently linked to a number of other serious illnesses, including diabetes, hypertension, and other cardiovascular disorders, osteoarthritis, and some malignancies. Obesity management will thus necessitate a wide range of strategies aimed at both people who already have weight problems and those who are at high risk of becoming obese. As a result, childhood obesity prevention should be prioritised, as there is a danger of obesity persisting into adulthood. This article discusses numerous obesity prevention and treatment options, with a focus on the most recent study findings. Since 1975, the worldwide obesity rate has nearly tripled. In 2016, approximately 1.9 billion adults and children aged 18 and up were overweight. Obesity affected around 650 million people. In 2016, 39% of adults aged 18 and above were overweight or obese, with 13% being obese. In the majority of the world's population, obesity and overweight kill more people than underweight. In the year 2019, there were 38 million overweight or obese children under the age of five. Over 340 million children and adolescents between the ages of 5 and 19 were overweight or obese in 2016. Obesity is preventable. India currently has more than 135 million obese people. Obesity was previously measured using the body mass index (BMI). Obese children will number 158 million worldwide by 2020, rising to 206 million by 2025 and 254 million by 2030. In actuality, India will have the second-highest number of obese children after China, with 27, 481, 141 or 27 million, much above the 17 million in the United States.
