Background: Puerperium is the period beginning immediately after the birth of the child and it is an important moment in the life of a woman. Breast engorgement is very common and has an effect on self and newborn care. Breast engorgement is distention or vascular congestion in the process of swelling of the breast tissue brought about by an increase in blood and lymph supply to the breast as the body produces milk, which precedes true lactation. Reflexology has huge health benefits and it alleviates women’s pregnancy and nursing experiences too. Reflexology increases the health and well-being of women and provides a comforting and nurturing environment for both mother and baby. Lower segment cesarean section (LSCS) being an operative procedure restricts the movement of mother which hinders self and newborn care. Reflexology aims to engage body’s own healing process, treating the person as a whole, i.e. the mind, body, and soul. Aim: This study aims to assess the effectiveness of foot reflexology for the prevention of breast engorgement among LSCS. Materials and Methods: A quasiexperimental design was used for this study. The study was performed on 80 postnatal mothers of postnatal ward of a selected hospital of a metropolitan city. Results: The study results show that there was a reduction in breast engorgement among LSCS mothers after the application of foot reflexology which was statistically verified. Conclusion: The analysis of data showed that foot reflexology can be used for the prevention of breast engorgement among LSCS mothers.

Aim: The aim of the study was to examine the relationship between health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and burden among family caregivers of elderly patients undergoing hemodialysis, in Saudi Arabia. Methods: Cross-sectional, descriptive, and correlational designs were used. A structured interviewing questionnaire was used to recruit 50 caregivers randomly. Pearson correlation was used to correlate between socio-demographic data, HRQOL, and burden degree. Ethical approval was assured. Results: A statistically significant negative association between the degree of burden and HRQOL among family caregivers was found. There was a significant positive association between burden degree and the caregivers’ age, marital status, the duration of caregiving and care of recipient’s age, physical function, physical health problems, and emotional problems. Meanwhile, there was a negative association between burden degree and level of education, general health perception, emotional well-being, vitality, and social functioning. Conclusion: When the nurses understand the relationship between burden of care experience among the caregivers and HRQOL that lead them to intervene effectively with a multi-disciplinary team to support caregivers for minimizing the level of burden and avoid burnout.

Aim: The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of foot massage and Mitchell’s relaxation technique on physiological and psychological outcome of patients undergoing elective angioplasty. Background: The physiological parameters of patients will be altered due to stress. Use of alternative therapies is needed to improve health and considered as therapeutic perquisites. Foot massage and Mitchell’s relaxation technique would reduce stress, blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), and respiratory rate and have certain health benefits. Methods: Quasi-experimental study with two group pre-test and post-test design was adopted with purposive sampling on 30 study participants who have fulfilled the inclusion criteria and randomly allotted into two groups. Group 1 for foot massage and Group 2 for Mitchell’s relaxation technique for 3 days at morning 7 AM and evening 7 PM. Socio-demographic and clinical profile datasheet and stress rating scale were used to collect the data. After giving six interventions, on 3rd -day post-test was done. Results: Both Mitchell’s relaxation technique and foot massage were effective in lowering physiological and psychological parameters. HR, BP, and stress level of patients who had massage and BP and stress level for those had Mitchell’s relaxation were statistically significant at 0.05 levels (P < 0.05). Age of the patient was significantly associated with HR. Exercise and personal habits had a significant association with pre-test stress score at 0.05 levels (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Foot massage is found to be more effective in reducing BP, HR, and stress level than Mitchell’s relaxation technique in patients undergoing elective angioplasty. As a regular nursing intervention, these therapies can be incorporated.

Introduction: Malnutrition is a worldwide problem today. The main target of undernutrition is the preschooler, pregnant, and nursing mothers. It is estimated that about 170 million children “under-five” year of age, i.e., 30% of worlds children are malnourished in terms of being underweight, over 2/3rd of these malnourished children belong to Asia. Aim: A study to assess the effectiveness of planned teaching program on the knowledge of mothers of 6–36-month children on malnutrition in selected Anganwadi of Indore. Materials and Methods: This was a community-based study compromising of 50 mothers purposively selected. Data were collected by administering structured knowledge questionnaire and after that planned teaching program and post-test was taken after 7 days. Results: The total mean of pre-test was 9.5. Most of the subject had 32 (64%) average knowledge and 5 (10%) subjects have good and only 13 (26%) belong to poor. After administration of planned teaching program regarding malnutrition, the total mean of post-test was 14.06. This shows that there is gain in knowledge. Most of the subject that is 7 (14%) average remaining respondent had good knowledge 43 (86%). The mean post-test knowledge is 14.06 which is higher than pretest 9.5, the actual gain of knowledge is 4.56 and computed‘t’ value (t50 = 15.39) is more than tabled value (t50 = 1.671) at the level of 0.05 thus indicated highly significant difference. Conclusion: The finding of this study indicates that planned teaching program on malnutrition appears to be effective in improving knowledge and practice of mothers of 6–36-month children relating to feeding and caring behaviors. Increase in the knowledge definitely showed a positive effect on the health of the child.

Aim: The study aimed to identify the level of compassion fatigue among the nurses and to correlate the level of compassion fatigue with demographic variables. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on 200 staff nurses working in Dr. L. H. Hiranandani Hospital. The design used for the study is descriptive research design. Samples selected using non-probability convenient sampling technique. Tool used for the study is structured questionnaire. Results: Nurse creates a healing environment for patients and relatives with their daily interaction and technical skills. Primary task as helping professional is to meet the physical and emotional needs of the patient. Although compassion fatigue is a treatable problem, it causes severe negative effect on nurse’s professional as well as personal life. To prevent this, we need to understand the early signs and symptoms of compassion fatigue. Compassion fatigue remains significant concerns in nursing, affecting both individuals and organizations. There are many strategies to prevent themselves from compassion fatigue. Compassion fatigue plays an important role in the professional outcome of the nurses. The data collected from staff nurses working in Dr. L. H. Hiranandani Hospital show average level of compassion fatigue for majority of the nurses 84% have average level of compassion fatigue and 16% of nurses show high level of compassion fatigue. Conclusion: The prevention of compassion fatigue starts from self-care. However, most of the nurses put their needs at last. Organizations should provide a supportive work environment, good opportunities, and guidelines for the nurses to work efficiently.
