Breast cancer among women is associated with a large number of psychological problems. The women suffering from breast cancer underwent severe psychological distress, use various coping mechanisms to improve their overall quality of life. The present investigation was planned to study psychological distress, coping resources and subjective well-being among breast cancer women in comparison to normal women. The sample for the study consisted of 200 women (100 Breast cancer and 100 normal). The sample was assessed with Subjective Wellbeing Inventory, Coping Resources Index, and General Health Questionnaire-12 (GHQ-12). Data were processed for Discriminant Analysis. When compared, results clearly demonstrated poor subjective well-being, high level of psychological distress, and inappropriate coping among breast cancer women as compared to their normal counterparts. Discriminant Analysis clearly revealed a linear combination of five aspects of subjective well-being which account for considerable degree of variation between breast cancer and normal women groups.Keywords

Persons with Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) are subject to variety of psychosocial consequences, which can be more harmful than the other medical difficulties they have. The present study was mainly aimed at understanding the coping processes used by patients with Ankylosing spondylitis. For this, 100 patients of Anklyosing Spondylitis aged 18 to 30 years were selected from PGIMS, Rohtak and BPSGMC, khanpur Kalan, Sonepat to participate in the study along with 100 normal controls. Data were collected by administering Folkman and Lazarus' Ways of Coping Questionnaire. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics (Mean, SD, SK, and KU) to ascertain the normalcy of data, t-ratios to compare the two groups in terms of their mean scores of eight measures of coping, and Discriminant Function Analysis to examine the joint contribution of all the eight variables in differentiation of two groups. Results revealed that patients with AS scored significantly low on Confrontive Coping, Self Controlling, Seeking Social Support, Accepting Responsibility, Planful Problem Solving, and Positive Reappraisal. In Discriminant Analysis, Positive Reappraisal, Self Controlling, and Distancing emerged most potent discriminators classifying the two groups correctly by 83.5%. Overall findings revealed the patients with AS to be significantly low on both the problem-focused and emotion-focused ways of coping.Keywords

Schizophrenia and drug addiction, in its most form is serve and usually long lasting, causing maximum disability. The burden of care on the family members of patients with schizophrenia and drug addiction become much more compared to other mental disorders. The present study was mainly aimed at understanding that Schizophrenia and drug addiction can also affect the quality of life and the health of the family members. For this 60 schizophrenic patients and 60 drug addict patients diagnosed as per ICD-10 criteria with at least two years duration of illness were identifiedin District Mental Health Programme, kurukshetra. The close care takers of family members of these patients were studied by administering the scale of family burden(Family Burden Schedule) and Quality of life (WHOQOL-BREF). The result of study have revealed that longer the duration of illness greater the overall burden. The illness of patients also significantly effects the quality of life of close care taling members of the family. The study has shed significant light on family and social consequences of schizophrenia and drug addiction.- Chemoprevention

Cancer is the third major cause of death in developed countries after cardiovascular diseases and stroke. Cancer is principally caused by environmental factors, of which the most important are diet and factors related to diet, including body mass and physical activity and exposures in the work place and elsewhere. With the industrial revolution, people have moved from rural areas into urban settlements and the economic transition has steadily been accompanied by nutrition transition.- Perceived Stress of Employees across the Different Designation and Different Industrial Categories

Present study is an attempt to study the perceived stress of employees across the different designation and different industrial categories among the 204 employees of different cadre working in different private and public sector organization of Haryana state. The detailed questionnaire was used to collect data. Statistical methods like Mean, Standard Deviation, 't' test and ANOVA were used to analyzed the data. The result revealed that there is no significant difference on the different stress factors influencing employees between the different levels. It was also found that there is no significant difference on the different stress factors influencing employees between the different industries. However, null hypothesis is rejected in case of demand role and change indicating that significance difference exists in stress factors influencing employees between the different industrial categories. So the second null hypothesis is rejected on all dimensions except demand role and change dimensions.Keywords

INTRODUCTION: Perception of pain in pediatrics is complex, and entails physiological, psychological, behavioural, and developmental factors. However, in spite of its frequency, pain in infants, children and adolescents are often underestimated and under treated. It has also been shown that infants and children, who experience pain in early life, show long-term changes in terms of pain perception and related behaviour. Professionals in health care settings have a responsibility to reduce pain and anxiety as much as possible to increase patient safety. AIM: The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of topical anaesthetic on venipuncture pain in children who undergo these procedures repeatedly during the course of their treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A quantitative research approach, quasi experimental in which post-test only control group design without randomization was used to conduct this research study. A sample of 80 children as subjects (40- experiment and 40-control) who required venipuncture for any diagnostic and therapeutic purpose in selected hospitals of Punjab was selected using Non probability convenience sampling technique. RESULTS: The study results depicted that mean pain score (1.1±1.19) in experimental group was statistically significantly different then mean pain score (5.25±2.26) in control group. While comparing the level of pain, it was calculated using chi-square test, it was interpreted that there is statistically significant difference in the level of pain in experimental and control group at 0.05 level of significance. CONCLUSION: The study concluded that the topical anaesthetic cream was effective to reducing the pain during venipuncture among the children in experimental group than control group in selected hospitals of Punjab.Keywords

Globally salinity impairs the productivity potential of agricultural land. Apart from salinity, there are a number of factors responsible for the stagnation of wheat productivity. This problem is becoming acute day by day due to improper management of natural resources. Salinity has repressive effects on physiological characteristics of wheat. Soil salinity affects plant growth by creating water and ionic imbalance in the plant due to the presence of toxic ions. Salt-affected plants exhibit stunted growth and have darker leaf colour. Nutrient deficiency is another yield-limiting factor and this problem is aggravating gradually due to intensive cultivation, imbalanced and injudicious usage of fertilizers. The widespread deficiency of nitrogen and phosphorus is followed by Zn deficiency. Zinc is an important component of proteins and acts as a structural, functional or regulatory cofactor of a number of enzymes. Moreover, it plays a significant role in plant metabolism. Generally, the presence of excess salt decreases photosynthesis, total carbohydrate, fatty acid and protein, therefore, zinc has the tendency to offset the negative effects of salinity on plant growth.Keywords
