Aim: The aim of this study to identify the knowledge and prevalence of nutritional anemia among adolescent girls 14–18 years. Materials and Methods: The investigator has adopted a descriptive survey approach to find out the knowledge and prevalence of nutritional anemia among adolescent girls. The sample comprised 60 adolescent girls between the age group of 14–18 years. Sample was selected using nonprobability, convenient sampling technique was used. Data were collected multifactor knowledge questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. In that Chi-square test for association of knowledge and prevalence of anemia with their selected demographic variables. Results: The results of this study showed that, majority of the subjects (73%) had moderate knowledge of anemia, 22% had poor knowledge, and only 5% of them had good knowledge of anemia. The prevalence of anemia in adolescent girls was 56% with mild anemia 27%, moderate 17% had severe anemia. Investigator found the positive correlation between the knowledge scores and Hb level, that is, r = 0.342 and negative correlation between the Hb level and the BMI level. The value was found to be −0.0868. There is a no association between the prevalence of anemia and demographic variables and also there is a no association between knowledge on anemia and demographic variables. Conclusion: The findings were concluded that majority of respondents had moderate knowledge related to anemia and the prevalence of anemia in girls was mild were as there is positive correlation between the knowledge level and the level of Hb.

Introduction: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a highly transmittable. Punjab faces sudden hike in number of positive cases including number of staff nurses also acquired infection. Therefore, the aim of study is to assess knowledge and practice among staff nurses in Punjab regarding COVID-19. Methods: An online survey-based study was conducted during the month of August to September among nurses. A self-administered questionnaire comprised of three sections (Demographics, knowledge, and practice) was used for data collection. Total sample size taken for study was 220 staff nurses. Results: Findings showed that staff nurses have good knowledge (78.2%) and good practice (97.7%) regarding COVID-19. Use of limited face mask in crowds and do not throwing the used tissues in trash are the major barriers in infection control practice. Factors such as qualification (χ2 = 22.805) were significantly associated with good knowledge at 0.05 level of significance. Furthermore, there was a significant relationship between qualification (χ2 = 9.314) and experience (χ2 = 11.635) with practice of staff nurses regarding COVID-19 at the 0.05 level of significance. Conclusion: Staff nurses in Punjab have good knowledge, reflected by good practice. Yet, there are areas where gaps in knowledge and practice were observed. To effectively control infection spread, well-structured training programs must be launched by government targeting all kinds of health-care professionals to raise their existed knowledge.

Aims: This study applied the Community Healthy Activities Model Program for Seniors (CHAMPS) questionnaire to describe lifestyle physical activities among older community-dwelling breast cancer survivors (BCSs) living in a medium-sized Midwestern city in the United States. Methods: BCS participants completed the CHAMPS at baseline (n = 146) and 12-month follow-up (n = 67). Generalized linear mixed-effects models, logistic regression, and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were used to analyze the quantitative data. Qualitative responses were categorized and quantified using frequencies. Results: A total of 247 responses to CHAMPS survey were received from participants (n = 146) who averaged 67 years of age and 10 years post-surgery. About 84% of respondents reported at least some moderate-intensive exercise in the past week for a median of 4 h. For a participant 10 years younger than another, the odds of having at least some moderate and intensive exercise were doubled (odds ratio [OR] = 2.01, P = 0.00) in hours and 89% higher (OR = 1.89, P = 0.00) in caloric expenditure. No statistically significant differences were found between the annual surveys in exercise caloric expenditures. Additional activities, including farm work, woodworking/carpentry, construction activities, and caring for grandchildren, were reported. Item missing rate was only 1.05%. Conclusion: CHAMPS is useful in measuring the lifestyle physical activities among Midwestern older BCS. Further analysis of the constructs of the demographic relevant activities is necessary for optimizing the use of the tool among the aging Midwestern population.
目的:本研究采用老年人社区健康活动模式计划(CHAMPS)问卷调查，描述生活在美国中西部一个中等城市的老年社区乳腺癌幸存者(BCSs)的生活方式体育活动。方法:BCS参与者在基线时完成了CHAMPS (n = 146)和12个月的随访(n = 67)。采用广义线性混合效应模型、逻辑回归和Wilcoxon符号秩检验对定量数据进行分析。使用频率对定性反应进行分类和量化。结果:共有247名参与者(n = 146)回复了CHAMPS调查，他们平均年龄为67岁，术后10年。大约84%的受访者报告在过去一周至少进行了一些中等强度的运动，平均时间为4小时。对于比另一个参与者小10岁的参与者，至少进行了一些中等强度和高强度运动的几率是小时数的两倍(比值比[OR] = 2.01, P = 0.00)，热量消耗的几率高出89% (OR = 1.89, P = 0.00)。在运动热量消耗的年度调查中，没有发现统计学上的显著差异。其他活动包括农活、木工/木工、建筑活动和照顾孙辈。项目缺失率仅为1.05%。结论:CHAMPS可用于测量中西部老年BCS的生活方式体力活动。进一步分析人口相关活动的结构对于优化中西部老龄化人口中该工具的使用是必要的。

Introduction: Global prevalence of diabetes and depression is increasing remarkably. Depression is 2–3 times more in diabetic population than non-diabetic people. Appropriate management mainly – diet, physical activity, medication, and regular screening and treatment can control, prevent, and delay diabetic complications. Aim: This study aims to assess the prevalence and impact of depression in diabetes self-management. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive survey included 50 diabetic patients in the endocrinology outpatient department at selected medical college and hospital, Kolkata, from February 2021 to March2021. Depression and diabetic self-management were assessed through Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire (DSMQ), respectively. Based on the WHO’s five dimension of adherence, patients’ background information were collected. Results: PHQ-9 score indicates that 62% of the diabetics patients were having varied degree of depression mild (34%), minor (18%), and major depression (10%). DSMQ score indicates mean adherence in glucose management – 7.186, dietary control – 4.992, physical activity – 4.814, health-care use – 7.106, and sum scale – 6.12. About 60% of diabetic patients were having suboptimal adherence in diabetes self-management. There is a significant negative correlation (r = –0.382) between depression (PHQ-9) score and DSMQ score (P = 0.006). Conclusion: Depression is highly prevalent in diabetic population. Negative correlation between depression and diabetes self-management adherence indicates more the depression less the diabetes self-management.

Aim: This study is conducted to assess factors interfering with good and poor glycemic control. Introduction: There is a rising trend in the prevalence of diabetes in India over recent years, poor and inadequate glycemic control affected by many factors such as socio-demographic, clinical and behavior factors constitutes a major risk factor for the development of diabetes complications. Materials and Methods: A descriptive study was conducted using purposive sampling technique by enrolling 100 subjects with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus having 30 and above 30 years of age, attending OPD or admitted in SGRD hospital. Data collected by observation and interviewing the subjects using self-structured questionnaire. Analysis and interpretation were done by descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: It shows that total of 100 subjects 61% had poor and 39% had good glycemic control. Factors such as age 50–59 years 18 (29.5%), male 36 (59%), informal education 30 (49.1%), BMI overweight 27 (44.3%), duration of diabetes 4–6 years, 30 (49.2%), and co-morbidities such as hypertension 38 (62.3%) and renal diseases 20 (32.8%), inappropriate diabetic diet 37 (60.7%), and 35 (57.4%) inadequate exercise alcohol consumption 26 (42.6%) were factors interfering glycemic control. Complications related to diabetes were 10 (16.4%) retinopathy and nephropathy, 23 (37.7%) neuropathy, 4 (6.6%) coronary artery disease, 8 (13.1%) foot ulcer, 15 (24.6%) stroke, 5 (8.2%) cataract and their odd ratios (OR-3.627, 7.45, 48.22, 6.18, 12.55, 18.09, 3.913, and 1.07, respectively). Conclusion: There is need to achieve an understanding of the extent of glycemic control in patients with type 2 DM and to see the factors interfering with good and poor glycemic control groups, and as a result, to spot the factors affecting glycemic control

Background: Hemodialysis is a lifelong treatment that significantly and sometimes adversely affects patient’s physical, mental, and social well-being. Chronic kidney disease is a worldwide public health problem and now recognized as a common condition that is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and chronic renal failure. The incidence rates of end-stage renal disease have increased steadily and internationally. The United States has the highest incidence rate of end-stage renal disease rate (Parsian, 2007). Methods: The descriptive study was conducted at Madras Medical Mission Hospital dialysis unit Chennai. Sixty samples who fulfilled the sample selection criteria were selected using non-probability purposive sampling. The investigator used structure interview method to collect the data. Data were collected during the process of dialysis. The collected data were tabulated for analysis and analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: Regarding the overall level of stressors, the findings revealed that 35 (58.33%) had moderate level of stressors and 25 (41.67%) had severe level of stressors. The findings revealed that 37 (61.67%) had moderate level of stress, 20 (33.33%) had severe level of stress, and only 3 (5%) had mild level of stress among patient undergoing hemodialysis. Conclusion: The findings revealed that when stressors increases, stress also increases. When coping strategies increase, stressors decrease, indicated that when coping strategies increase, stress decreases.
背景:血液透析是一种终身治疗，对患者的身体、精神和社会健康有显著的不利影响。慢性肾脏疾病是一个全球性的公共卫生问题，现在被认为是一种常见的疾病，与心血管疾病和慢性肾衰竭的风险增加有关。终末期肾脏疾病的发病率在国际上稳步上升。美国终末期肾病发病率最高(Parsian, 2007)。方法:描述性研究在Madras Medical Mission Hospital Chennai透析单元进行。采用非概率目的抽样法，选取符合样本选择标准的60个样本。研究者采用结构访谈法收集资料。在透析过程中收集数据。收集的数据被制成表格进行分析，并使用描述性和推断性统计进行分析。结果:在应激源总体水平上，35人(58.33%)存在中度应激源，25人(41.67%)存在重度应激源。结果显示，血液透析患者中，中度应激37例(61.67%)，重度应激20例(33.33%)，轻度应激3例(5%)。结论:研究结果表明，当压力源增加时，压力也会增加。当应对策略增加时，压力源减少，表明当应对策略增加时，压力减少。
