The support provided to families with disabled children is exclusively focused on the disabled child or his/her parents. Although current trends emphasize the need to work with the family as a system, minor siblings are usually at the margin. My article paid attention to joint education, which is the situation when the disabled child attends the same school that his/her "healthy" sibling does. The study was aimed to find out whether the teachers at such schools know that the children in their class have a disabled sibling at the same school, how they treat him/her with respect to the relations with classmates, what responsibilities is the child assigned by the teachers and the parents in connection with the help with the education of the disabled sibling. The research done through a self-structured questionnaire took place at 32 schools where disabled children and their siblings attend inclusive education. The study result was sad. The detailed analysis of the findings showed that most teachers do not know that the child in their class is the sibling of a disabled child going to the same school. That means that they never spoke with them about that topic, they never expressed understanding of his/her difficult life situation, they did not help in case of conflicts with the classmates, they did not support him/her.

Background: Depression becomes one of the commonest mental illness that needs early screening and intervention. Behavioral activation is one of the treatment modalities that can be conducted by trained health care professional. The patient learned how to cope with depression using the behavioral activation technique and that can lead to prevent future relapse. Aim: To apply behavioral activation intervention in the primary health care centers and to be delivered by trained nurses. Objectives: This Randomize controlled trial (RCT) conducted to study the effectiveness of behavioral activation intervention among depressed patients. Methodology: Depressed patients were recruited through a community screening using the Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II) questionnaire, 16 participants volunteered and randomize for the RCT stage in a ratio of intervention to control (1:1). Post intervention assessment conducted by (BDI-II). Behavioral activation working sheets used during the intervention. Result: The behavioral activation is effective and simple intervention with significant P value among the interventional group (P=0.017). Conclusion: The behavioral activation intervention is effective to manage the depression among the study population. A nationwide survey to accurately determine the cost-effectiveness of behavioral activation program to reduce the burden on health care system is required.

Background: Accidents are killing more people in India than terrorism or natural disasters. Risk factors can be grouped as human and environmental causes. Better road safety plans for execution since morbidity mortality disability and economic impact of road traffic accidents. Aims and Objectives: To analyze the available data on RTA and find out the epidemiological factors, morbidity and mortality pattern from 2013-2016 and to assess the possibility of achievement of Brasilia declaration in India by 2020. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was done from the time period 2013 to 2016. Among the 50 studies, 23 articles were included for this study after meeting this inclusion criteria. Results and Discussions: From the data, Number of person killed in RTA has increased by 3.2% from 2013-16, Economically productive age group is the most vulnerable group (3.5% increase from 2014-16) of which more than 2/3rd are males are subjected to RTA, which indirectly reflect on families and countries economical standards, 13 states has accounted for 86% of total road accidents in the country, Tamilnadu holds the record for highest in 2013-16. Conclusion: With the data that has been compiled from the year 2013-16, distribution of road accident with respect to age, gender, month, time, geography, epidemiological factors, morbidity and mortality pattern due to RTAs in India has been charted out, and analysis has been if we can achieve the goal of Brasilia Declaration.

Introduction: Traditional perception about the causes of schizophrenia can affect the way of seeking for help and lengthen the time of help seeking behavior. Therefore, evaluating the community perception towards the causes of schizophrenia is vital. Method and materials: The study was conducted at Feresbet town with multi-stage sampling technique by using Causal Model Questionnaire for Schizophrenia (CMQS). The collected data was explored to SPSS version 20 for analysis. Binary logistic regression was used and the level of significance of association was determined at P- value <0.05 with 95% confidence interval. Result: Majority 702 (73.7%) of respondents shared traditional perception about the cause of schizophrenia in contrast to bio-psychosocial causal explanations of schizophrenia. Older age, female sex and less education had significant association with supernatural causal perception of schizophrenia. Conclusion: This study showed that traditional causal perception of schizophrenia is high which demonstrates a need for educational and awareness creation programs.
对精神分裂症成因的传统认知会影响患者的求助方式,延长患者求助行为的时间。因此,评估社区对精神分裂症病因的认识至关重要。方法与材料:采用多阶段抽样技术,在Feresbet镇采用精神分裂症因果模型问卷(CMQS)进行研究。收集到的数据使用SPSS version 20进行分析。采用二元logistic回归,P值<0.05,置信区间为95%,确定相关性显著性水平。结果:绝大多数702人(73.7%)对精神分裂症的成因持传统认识,而对精神分裂症的生物-社会心理因果解释持不同看法。年龄较大、性别为女性、受教育程度较低与精神分裂症的超自然因果知觉显著相关。结论:本研究表明,传统的精神分裂症因果认知较高,需要开展教育和意识创造项目。

Background: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is one of the most prevalent genetic disorders among the African descent. SCD is associated with intermittent excruciating pain, increased morbidity and mortality yet has received less recognition in the public domain. There is growing evidence on the need to increase awareness to reduce the disease incidence. This study aimed to elicit student’s knowledge, beliefs and attitude of SCD. Method: A descriptive cross-sectional study design was employed. A total of 380 university students at all levels were invited to participate in the study. Of these, 350 successfully completed the study (response rate, 92.10%). A semi structured questionnaire was used to collect information on participant’s demographic characteristics, general knowledge of SCD, beliefs and attitudes of students towards SCD. Results: Almost all the students were aware of SCD (98.6%) with the main source of information being school (84.6%) and the media (12.6%). Knowledge level of respondents on SCD based on scores revealed a mean score of 9.8 ± 4.2 with 45.1%, 47.8%, and 7.1% for poor, moderate and excellent respectively. Most of the respondents strongly agreed that they feel worried (52.9%) and sympathetic (51.4%) for people affected with SCD. Participants had the belief that it is an inherited disease acquired from parents (48.3%) but not a punishment from God (76.3%). Higher level of education and knowing a relative with sickle cell trait (SCT) or SCD was significantly associated with high knowledge of SCD (p<0.05). Conclusion: In general, there was a limited understanding and inadequate knowledge of SCD among the students particularly on the pattern of inheritance. Results from the study highlight the need for effective public health education on SCT/SCD in trusted sources such as schools, media (radio/Television), health centers and churches. This is necessary to address misconceptions and increase knowledge level as well as understanding of the risks of having a child with SCD to influence personal reproductive options.

Many focused interventions on mental health targeting the school children are conducted in high income countries.

Abstracts and full articles were reviewed and graded for quality in pairs using criteria determined in consensus. Any dispute was resolved through third reviewer. A total of 109,242 were found in first hit, and nine studies were included following careful selection process. Three were randomized controlled trials; two used bifactorial design, one prospective intervention cohort, one experimental design with waitlist control, one quasiexperimental pre-post and one non-equivalent group comparison with pre and post-test. Eight of 9 studies showed effectiveness in the outcome. The studies had low to moderate quality. An intervention design that adapted to the population socio cultural showed better acceptance and effective in preventing childhood mental health problems at primary school level.
