Aim: This study aimed to assess the knowledge of nurses regarding patient communication. Introduction: The present study was undertaken during the year 2021. The objectives of the study were to assess the level of knowledge of patient communication skills among nurses in selected hospitals and to determine the association between the level of knowledge of patient communication skills with the demographic variables of nurses. Materials and Methods: A quantitative approach and descriptive design were adopted for the study. The study was conducted in selected hospitals. The sample size for the present study was 100 nurses aged between 18 and 32 years. Non-probability convenient sampling technique was adopted to select the samples for the study. The tool used for the data collection was the Likert scale to assess nurse-patient communication. Results: The present study findings revealed that of most of the nurses 63% had inadequate knowledge, 18% had moderately adequate knowledge, and 19% had adequate knowledge. There was a significant association between the level of knowledge and demographic variables such as age, gender, religion, level of education, clinical experience in years, shift worked, and received any additional training in patient communication. Moreover, there was no association between marital status, working unit, and designation with nurses knowledge regarding patient communication skills. Conclusion: The results reflect that most of the nurses had inadequate knowledge and the level of knowledge depended on the level of experience and education.

Aim: The aim of the study was to study the effectiveness of planned teaching program regarding the care of children with hearing impairment among the caretakers in selected schools of Sangli district in India. Background: Hearing impairment means that you cannot hear well out of one or both ears, or you cannot hear at all. Hearing loss can range from mild to severe. There can be mild, moderate, severe, or severe impairment. Hearing loss as a child is a huge burden and handicap. It hurts the child’s quality of life because the disability affects all parts of his or her development, either directly or indirectly. The results include not being able to understand speech sounds, which often means not being able to communicate verbally, a delay in learning a language, a delay in cognitive development, a disadvantage in economics and education, social isolation, and a stigma. Methodology: The research approach for this study is quantitative approach and purposive research design was used. The sample size consisted of 60 caretakers. Result: The 33.34% of caretakers were between 30 and 40 years, 63.34% of caretakers were undergraduates, place-wise 58.34% of caretakers were from urban, 61.66% of caretakers had previous knowledge. The preceding data show that caretakers who got planned training on hearingimpaired children had higher mean knowledge scores in post-test than pre-test. Thus, structured training on caring for hearing-impaired youngsters worked. Thus, alternate hypothesis wins over null hypothesis. Conclusion: The structured teaching on care of children with hearing impairment proved to be effective in delivering the knowledge. Hence, null hypothesis is rejected and alternative hypothesis is accepted.

Aims: This study aims to develop and validate intubation checklist for critically ill patients admitted in intensive care units of the teaching hospital of Navi Mumbai. Materials and Methods: Expert data for an intubation checklist for critically ill patients are gathered using the Delphi method. The Delphi method is a structured communication technique or method that uses a panel of experts to make decisions. In three rounds, the experts respond. A facilitator or change agent summarizes the experts’ predictions and the reasons they gave for their predictions after each round. Experts are thus encouraged to revise previous responses in light of the responses of other panelists. Results: The findings show that agreement for development intubation has increased. One hundred percent of the 15 experts strongly agreed. Endotracheal intubation complications are reduced by 86.7% when using the endotracheal intubation checklist. The content of this endotracheal intubation checklist is appropriate in 80% of cases. The checklist for endotracheal intubation is superior to the protocol. Conclusion: A critically ill patient intubation checklist was created and validated. In total, 42 items were suggested by experts. In rounds two and three, the expert consensus was accepted, and the majority of items in both rounds had no significant differences in opinion. ItemContent Validity Index (CVI) (below 0.78) and slightly different opinions were removed. The final checklist included 41 items with 100% expert agreement, a high CVI-I of ranking agreement, and an inter-rater reliability of 0.94, indicating that the tool is highly valid and reliable.

Introduction: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a major source of pain, disability, and socioeconomic cost worldwide. In India, 80% of population suffers with OA who complains of knee pain. Annually, 10 million cases of OA are found. More than half of the people with OA are under 65 years of age. The best way of prevention and management of OA is regular exercise and maintenance of diet. Ignorance of the people, regarding preventive strategy, makes them more vulnerable to OA. Materials and Methods: A quantitative one-group pretest-posttest design was applied to assess knowledge and practice on prevention and management of OA among rural adults. Systematic random sampling was used to select 60 samples. Structured knowledge interview and practice rating scale were used to collect the data. Results: The study found significantly improvement in post-test knowledge (P ≤ 0.01) and practice score (P ≤ 0.01) of the adults regarding prevention and management of OA. The study reported significant correlation (P < 0.01) between post-test knowledge and practice score. The educational status (P ≤ 0.01), occupation (P = 0.0039), and monthly family income (P = 0.030) of the adults showed significantly association with post-test knowledge and practice. Conclusion: Structured teaching program has a major impact in improving knowledge and practice of adults regarding prevention and management of OA. Well-planned and demonstrated, nurse-led educational module will enhance the knowledge and improve the practice of the adult population

Common Causes of Sleeplessness Include: (1) Stress – Concerns about work, school, health, finances, or family can keep your mind active at night, making it difficult to sleep. Stressful life events or trauma – such as the death or illness of a loved one, divorce, or a job loss can lead to stress. (2) Travel or work schedule – Disrupting your body’s circadian rhythms can lead to lack of sleep. Causes include jet lag from traveling across multiple time zones, working a late or early shift, or frequently changing shifts. (3) Poor sleep habits – Poor sleep habits include an irregular bedtime schedule, naps, stimulating activities before bed, an uncomfortable sleep environment, and using your bed for work, eating, or watching TV. Computers, TVs, video games, smartphones, or other screens just before bed can interfere with your sleep cycle. (4) Eating too much late in the evening – Having a light snack before bedtime is OK, but eating too much may cause you to feel physically uncomfortable while lying down. Many people also experience heartburn, a backflow of acid, and food from the stomach into the esophagus after eating, which may keep you awake. (5) Mental health disorders – Anxiety disorders, such as post-traumatic stress disorder, may disrupt your sleep. Awakening too early can be a sign of depression. (6) Medications – Many prescription drugs can interfere with sleep, such as certain antidepressants and medications for asthma or blood pressure. Many over-the-counter medications – such as some pain medications, allergy, and cold medications, and weight loss products – contain caffeine and other stimulants that can disrupt sleep. (7) Medical conditions – Examples of conditions linked with insomnia include chronic pain, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, asthma, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), overactive thyroid, Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s disease. (8) Sleep-related disorders – Sleep apnea causes you to stop breathing periodically throughout the night, interrupting your sleep. Restless legs syndrome causes unpleasant sensations in your legs and an almost irresistible desire to move them, which may prevent you from falling asleep. (9) Caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol – Coffee, tea, cola, and other caffeinated drinks are stimulants. Drinking them in the late afternoon or evening can keep you from falling asleep at night. Nicotine in tobacco products is another stimulant that can interfere with sleep. Alcohol may help you fall asleep, but it prevents deeper stages of sleep and often causes awakening in the middle of the night. Complications of Insomnia May Include: (1) Lower performance on the job or at school. (2) Slowed reaction time while driving and a higher risk of accidents. (3) Mental health disorders, such as depression, an anxiety disorder, or substance abuse. (4) Increased risk and severity of long-term diseases or conditions, such as high blood pressure and heart disease. Prevention: Good sleep habits can help prevent insomnia

Introduction: Breast self-examination involves the woman herself looking at and feeling the breast for lumps or other abnormalities. There is evidence that woman who correctly practice breast self-examination monthly is more likely to detect a lump in the early stage with early diagnosis and treatment yielding better survival. When adolescents become aware of themselves, they get in touch with their inner-self, their basic truths that satisfy their needs and their own personal desires. Teaching breast self-examination as breast changes occur in the adolescent girl can influence positive behaviors such as performing breast self-examinations and seeking regular professional breast examinations. Aim: The aim of study was to find out the effect of planned teaching on knowledge and practice regarding breast self-examination among adolescent in selected area. Subjects and Methods: One group pre-test and post-test research design was adopted, where the group was assessed. A semi-structured questionnaire was administered to assess the knowledge and practice regarding breast self-examination. Non-probability purposive sampling was used to select samples that fulfilled the required criteria. A sample size of 60 adolescents was taken for the study. Results: Findings revealed that in pre-test none of the adolescents was in the good or excellent range of knowledge and practice but in posttest there was significant shift of scores after administration of planned teaching. Therefore, heard about breast self-examination is dependent with pre-test knowledge and practice score while with other demographic variable such as age, education of mother, type of family, and source to receive information is independent. Conclusion: This study reveals that is important to have knowledge and practice of breast self-examination to detect breast abnormalities like Fibroadenoma and to have healthy life. Planned teaching was effective measure to improve knowledge and practices regarding breast self-examination among adolescent in selected rural area
