Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) significantly lowers quality of life. A complex and long-lasting inflammatory process that eventually results in fibrous atherosclerotic plaque can be accelerated or modified by risk factors. Up to 2030, this illness will continue to be the world’s most serious in terms of mortality, morbidity, disability, and economic loss. It is endemic in underdeveloped nations. By minimizing modifiable risk factors, the identification of risk variables offers a means for lowering the chance of developing CAD, and better treatment options are made thanks to more precise assessment of overall risk status. Methods: To determine the risk factors for CAD, a descriptive exploratory survey approach was utilized in this study. The investigation was carried out in two Navsari city educational institutions of choice. The sample size was 60 in total. Since the personnel were chosen at random using a lottery system, the study was based on a straightforward random sampling procedure. Results: Conclusions based on data analysis. Most instructors (62% of them) had a low risk, many (28% of them) a moderate risk, and none had a high risk of developing CAD. A typical percentage of the sample (43.33%) had an abnormal body mass index. Only 10% of male instructors have a normal waist-hip ratio (WHR), compared to 23.33% who have an unhealthy ratio. Maximum (35%) of females had abnormal and normal WHR (31.67%), respectively. Most teachers (75%) had normal cholesterol, while (25%) had levels above average. Conclusion: Years of experience and educational attainment were found to be significantly correlated with risk variables for CAD.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of planned teaching program on knowledge and attitude regarding prevention of urinary tract infection among adolescent girls. Materials and Methods: Underdeveloped nations have many urinary tract infections. Adolescent girls are more likely than boys to have it. Urinary tract infections occur in the urinary tract. The urinary tract includes the bladder, kidney, ureter, and urethra. UTIs can be caused by any urinary pathogen, with or without symptoms. Colon-dwelling Escherichia coli strains cause 80% of UTIs. Other microorganisms can cause disease. Although healthy, this stage of life nonetheless has many deaths, sicknesses, and injuries. Most of this is avoidable or treatable. Pre-test, post-test, and control group designs for quasi-experiments were modified. Adolescent girls participated in the study on preventing urinary tract infections. Data were collected using demographic characteristics and 40 samples were chosen using non-probability purposive sampling, self-administered knowledge questionnaire, and modified Likert scale. Results: The study findings showed that Planned Urinary Tract Infection Prevention Education Program was significantly effective in improving teenage girls’ attitudes and knowledge. Information base and outlook of girls regarding urinary tract infection and its prevention are improved. Conclusion: According to the study’s findings, planned teaching programs greatly improved the knowledge and attitudes of adolescent girls, regarding prevention urinary tract infection.

Aim: Quality of life (QOL) among women with gynecological cancer: Findings from a study conducted at select hospitals in the city for the purpose of producing an educational pamphlet. Introduction: Cancer is the main health issue in the community across the world. Globally, cancer is one of the most common causes for morbidity and mortality. Gynecological cancers include cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, gestational trophoblastic tumor, ovarian epithelial cancer, ovarian germ cell tumor, uterine sarcoma, vaginal cancer, and vulvar cancer. Materials and Methods: In this study, cross-sectional, descriptive, and research design was used to evaluate the QOL among the gynecological cancer patients. Ninety-four gynecological cancer patients from the hospital of the city are selected for the study as a sample. Non-probability purposive sampling technique was used. A Likert-style scale with four options used for analysis. Results: Majority of the patients 61 (64.89%) were not have any changes in global health status QOL, 19 (20.21%) were somewhat worse level in their global health status/QOL, 12 (12.76%) were somewhat better level on scale, 2 (2.12%) were in much worse level, and none of the patients were in much better level on global health status/QOL. Majority of the patients 50 (53.19%) were have moderate symptoms, 37 (39.36%) were have minor symptoms, 6 (6.38%) were have serious symptoms, and 1 (1.06%) not have substantial symptoms on symptoms scale items. Conclusion: According to the results of this study, the QOL of gynecological cancer patients does not change. On the physical, emotional, social, and role-function dimensions of QOL, gynecological cancer and its treatment processes have a detrimental impact.

The aim of this research is to assess the level of knowledge held by staff nurses in relation to the central line-associated bloodstream infection care bundle as well as their actions. The investigator chose to use a descriptive survey approach with descriptive study design and to investigate the staff nurses’ knowledge of and behaviors relating to the central line-related bloodstream infection treatment package. The sample consisted of 125 registered nurses who were working in the intensive care unit of the hospital. For this investigation, a non-probability purposeful sampling strategy was utilized to select the sample. The analysis of the information included both descriptive and inferential statistical methods. The Karl Pearson correlation coefficient test and the Chi-square test used to refer to examine the correlation and determine the relationship between knowledge and practice about the treatment of bloodstream infections linked with central lines and demographic factors. The findings of this investigation demonstrated that 79 (63.2%) had inadequate knowledge followed by 38 (30.4%) had moderate knowledge and 8 (6.4%) had adequate knowledge regarding central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) care bundle. Seventy-five (60%) had poor level of practices, 40 (32%) had average level of practices, and 10 (8%) had good level of practices regarding CLABSI care bundle, there is positive correlation that was identified between knowledge and practices, that is, (r = 0.7501). According to the results of this investigation, staff nurses had knowledge and practices about the care bundle for central line-related bloodstream infections that were on average appropriate. Investigator recommends that the distribution of the multi modular learning tool addressing the central line-related bloodstream infections care bundle, both the knowledge, and the practices will be enhanced.

Hospital-to-home care is important for improving the quality of life (QOL) of patients with heart failure (HF). However, there is little evidence of outcomes regarding hospital-to-home care interventions in Japan. Thus, this integrative review aimed to identify the components and outcomes of hospital-to-home care interventions for patients with HF in Japan. Electronic databases, such as MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Ichushi-Web, were systematically searched, and all forms of hospital-to-home care interventions in Japan were examined. Studies regarding transitional care, discharge planning, home care, and disease management were included. The characteristics and results of the intervention studies were summarized. Furthermore, we analyzed the components of hospital-to-home care interventions and considered the effective interventions for patients with HF, based on statistically significant results. Ten articles including nine interventions were reviewed. The average age of intervention participants ranged from 64 to 77.5 years old, and the sample sizes in the intervention groups ranged from 11 to 192 participants. The intervention components were categorized as follows: “hospital-based components,” “homeand outpatient-based components,” and “both hospitaland home-based components.” The main intervention components comprised structured education, lifetime counseling, and follow-ups via telephone and video calls. The clinical outcomes included readmission, mortality, and QOL, measured up to 24 months after the interventions. There was limited evidence of interventions being continued from the hospital to home, follow-up immediately after discharge, and nurse home visits in Japan. Further studies are necessary to evaluate the outcomes of patients’ experiences immediately after discharge and the quality of care transition.
