Aim The aim of this study was to assess and evaluate the effectiveness of a simulation based teaching program (SBTP) in the interpretation and management of dysrhythmias in terms of knowledge and skills of staff nurses working in cardiac care areas of a selected hospital of New Delhi. Objectives The objectives of the study were to assess, evaluate and compare the knowledge and skill of the staff nurses regarding interpretation and management of dysrhythmias before and after the administration of a SBTP, and to determine the relationship between selected variables and knowledge and skill of staff nurses regarding interpretation and management of dysrhythmias. Method The study followed a pre experimental, one group, pretest post-test design and was conducted in Max hospital, Saket, New Delhi. Convenience sampling technique was used to select 30 staff nurses working in different cardiac care units. A pretested, reliable and valid tool was used to assess the knowledge and skill of staff nurses. Results A significant difference was found in the pretest and posttest knowledge (p= .00) and skill (p= .00) of the staff nurses related to management of dysrhythmias before and after the administration of SBTP. There was no significant correlation between post test knowledge and skill scores (p= 0.87). There was a significant relationship between gender and post test skill scores of staff nurses. The post test skill scores were more in females as compared to male staff nurses (p= 0.04). Conclusion The SBTP was effective in increasing the knowledge and skill of staff nurses in the management of dysrhythmias.Keywords

Introduction: In India, the largest and most populated countries in the world, with over one billion inhabitants, it is estimated that around 2.5 million Indians are living with HIV. Adolescents comprise about 22% of the population of India (1). This large group of population contains high potentiality for social and economic development of the country in future. According to NFHS 2005 and 2006, the prevalence of HIV infection among 15-19 years age group is 0.04%. There is paucity of data in Delhi regarding awareness on HIV/ AIDS among adolescents, which is required to plan an education program for them.
Objective: This study was conducted among 175 school going adolescents studying in class 11 and 12 to assess their knowledge, attitude and practices related to HIV/AIDS and to assess the relationship of selected variables with their KAP scores.
Method: The study was conducted in two conveniently selected urban government schools in East Delhi. The data was collected from 175 students using a valid and reliable structured KAP Questionnaire.
Result: It was found that more than 50% of adolescents had inadequate knowledge, stigmatizing attitude and followed unsafe practices towards HIV/AIDS.
Conclusion: There is a need to educate young adults and equip them with the appropriate information and skills to enable them to protect themselves from HIV/AIDS. HIV/AIDS education with greater participation of school is recommended.

Method and Material: The study was conducted among 65 student nurses pursuing third year BSc nursing and General nursing during Aug 2011- March 2012. The students were randomized into experimental and control group using a computer generated table of random numbers. There were 33 students in experimental group who received five days empowering programme and 32 students in the control group who were not exposed to the empowering programme.
Statistical analysis used: Analysis was done using SPSS 16 using appropriate descriptive and inferential statistics. Student t test was used to compare the understanding and beliefs between the groups. Level of significance (p value) was kept at .05.
Results: Empowering programme was highly effective in increasing the understanding of student nurses about HIV/AIDS and modifying their beliefs related to the same.
