The present study was aimed to assess the effectiveness of structured training program regarding prevention of female feticide on knowledge and attitude of nursing personnel and Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs). The conceptual framework of the study was based on Imogene M. King's theory of goal attainment (1981). The research approach included both quantitative and qualitative. One group pretest-posttest design was used to assess the effectiveness of training program and phenomenological approach is used to analyze the experience of nurses and ASHA workers regarding female foeticide. The sample consisted of 39 subjects in interventional group and 40 in control group. The instruments of data collection include a self developed self administered knowledge questionnaire to assess the knowledge regarding female foeticide, a 5 point likert scale to assess the attitude of sample towards female foeticide and a short film on prevention of female foeticide to sensitize the nurses and ASHA workers. An in-depth interview was used to assess the experience of nursing personnel and ASHA workers regarding female foeticide. After pretesting of knowledge and attitude of interventional and control group, training program was administered to the intervention group, which include teaching program regarding selected aspects of female foeticide and administration of short film- 'JEEVANNIDHI', which was prepared by the investigator. An in-depth interview was conducted for every 10th sample in the interventional and control group in order to analyze the experience of nursing personnel and ASHA workers regarding female foeticide. Post interventional assessment was done at one week and one month both in the interventional and control group. Among the total 79 sample, there were 56 ASHA workers, 20 ANMs and 3 LHVs. During the second post assessment, all the nurses and ASHA workers in the interventional group had excellent knowledge where as none of them had excellent knowledge in the control group. The mean post test attitude (156.65) of nurses and ASHA workers is higher than their mean pre test attitude (136.53). The results show significant difference in the knowledge and attitude score between the interventional and control group at 0.01 level of significance. The findings reveal that the training program is effective in sensitizing the nurses and ASHA workers regarding prevention of female foeticide. The findings of qualitative analysis reveal that the nurses and ASHA workers are sensitized about the issue and they want to take immediate steps to eliminate female foeticide from our country. The results substantiate that the nurses and ASHA workers can become channels in the prevention of female foeticide.Keywords

A woman's confidence in her ability to breastfeed is crucial to her success in breast feeding preterm babies. Breastfeeding is instinctive on the part of the baby but is a learned skill for the mother. Breastfeeding is extraimportant if the baby is born preterm. Giving birth to a preterm baby can be a frightening and traumatic time for parent. Breast milk has important health benefits for premature babies as it prevent damage to baby's immature digestive system, provide immunological, nutritional and cognitive benefits and allow for optimum growth and development. Aims and objectives: The present study aimed at assessing the effect of skill orientation on practice of breast feeding technique among mothers of preterm babies. Methodology: Pre experimental one group pre test post test design was used. Thirty samples were selected using nonprobability purposive sampling technique from a tertiary hospital, Thrissur. Pre test was done using structured observation checklist on day 1, followed by demonstration of breast feeding technique to each mother of preterm babies for 2 days as 2 times per day. On 3rd day, post test was done using same observation checklist. The data obtained were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics using Statistical Package for Social Services 17 (SPSS 17). Results: Results showed that majority of mothers (80%) of preterm babies were in the age group of 21 to 30 years. Most of the mothers of preterm babies (63.30%) had caesarean type of delivery. 50% of mothers of preterm babies belonged to joint family and 90% of them had family support from both husband's side and mother's side. 76.70% of mothers of preterm babies had excellent level of practice of breast feeding technique after the skill orientation. There was significant association between pre test level of practice of breast feeding technique with sociodemographic and clinical data variables like parity (p=0.03), family support (p=0.003) and baby's body weight (p=0.006). This reveals that mothers who are multiparous and who have more family support have significantly higher level of practice of breast feeding. The level of breast feeding technique significantly improved with the increase in body weight of preterm babies. Study concluded that skill orientation on practice of breast feeding technique was effective among mothers of preterm babies in NICU.Keywords

Globally and in India the number of terminally ill patients has increased sharply due to increase in the incidence of Non Communicable Diseases. Quality palliative care is an important concern for the health care professionals. There are many ethical issues revolving End-of-life care. One such controversial issue is euthanasia and Physician Assisted Suicide (PAS). Views on euthanasia differ from religion to religion. There are many arguments for and against euthanasia. Very few countries in the world have legalized euthanasia, PAS or both. India has become a step closer in legalizing passive euthanasia through the recent honorable Supreme Court judgment in the Aruna Shaunbag Case. The role of a physician in euthanasia or PAS is already a well-known fact. Even though nurses role in this is still unclear, few nurse clinicians / researchers have already stressed the important role nurse's play in assessing and assisting with euthanasia and PAS.Keywords

Providing excellent care for a dying patient is something all patients deserve. Institute of Medicine Committee defined good death as one that is in accord with patient's and family's wishes. End-Of-Life care preferences of the terminally ill patients vary with culture which is reported by various researchers around the globe.
AIM: To explore the end-of-life care preferences among the terminally ill patients from a selected setting of Tamil Nadu, India.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Descriptive exploratory design was adopted. For this pilot study, 10 terminally ill patients were interviewed using a structured questionnaire on End-of-Life Care Preferences in a selected hospice.
RESULTS: EOL being a naïve concept in India, interestingly 30% had communicated their EOL wishes to family members. Terminally ill patients valued sense of dignity more than controlling pain through medications if it muddled them. Nearly 60% of patients did not prefer life prolonging treatment if they did not have hope of recovery. An overwhelming majority of patients preferred home for EOL care and death. All the patients preferred that their spiritual beliefs be considered for EOL care. Majority wanted to remain autonomous in their decision making when they are capable and 60% preferred health care professionals to make the decisions when they are incapacitated. Majority preferred to fill a living will or an advanced directive. 9 out of 10 patients agreed for euthanasia or physician assisted suicide to be legally available.
CONCLUSION: Designing EOL care pathways based on EOL care preference which differs from culture to culture will ensure quality EOL care. Continuous and sustained effort to improve EOL research will definitely be a stepping stone for quality EOL care in India.

Adherence to ART is a highly personalized patient related behavior which may need several adjustments in routine way of living, diet etc. Non adherence has been shown to be due to lack of better information of disease process, coping with side effects, cultural barriers, stigma associated with HIV etc. Accurate information about one’s ART regimen and about what constitutes adequate adherence, high levels of adherence-related motivation and strong adherence- related behavioral skills are posited to underlie optimal adherence. Adherence levels were measured in 30 Women living with HIV/AIDS, in Coimbatore district, Tamil Nadu, India. The Scores in the 3 domains of Information--Motivation--Behavioral Skills (IMB) model of adherence were calculated using the ‘The Life Windows Information Motivation Behavioral Skills ART Adherence Questionnaire (LW-IMB-AAQ)’ scale. The overall mean score for the three areas of IMB was above 50%, with highest score for behavioral skills followed by information and motivation. Scores in each domain were split into three levels - low, moderate and high and the percentage of patients in each level was calculated. Most of the patients had good information related to adherence. Majority of the patients had low total behavior score which is influenced by the low motivation and moderate adherence related behavioral skills. Correlation of the demographic variables showed that age had significant negative relationship with education and occupation was positively correlated with the period of infection.

Introduction: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the world and India. According to World Health Organisation survivors of Myocardial Infarction (MI) are at increased risk of recurrent infarctions and have an annual death rate of 5% - six times that in people of the same age who do not have coronary heart disease. The present study was aimed at assessing the effect of video assisted teaching on knowledge and practice regarding recurrence of myocardial infarction. The objectives of the study were to assess the pre-test level of knowledge and practice in prevention of recurrence of MI among post coronary angioplasty patients, determine the effect of video assisted teaching on level of knowledge and practice in prevention of recurrence of MI among post coronary angioplasty patients and associate the selected sociodemographic and clinical data variables with pre-test level of knowledge and practice on prevention of recurrence of MI among post coronary angioplasty patients.
Method: Quasi experimental approach with one group pre-test post-test design was used. Data were collected from 40 post angioplasty patients using simple random sampling. Pre-test was conducted using structured knowledge questionnaire and structured practice checklist followed by administration of video assisted teaching. Post-test was done on 15th day.
Results: Majority of the samples 33(82.5%) were males. About 27 (67.5%) were having family history of cardiac and vascular disorders. Only 15 (37.5%) maintained ideal body weight. Wilcoxon signed rank test showed a highly significant (p<0.001) difference in the pre-test and post-test scores. The pre-test and post-test knowledge score were 8.05 ± 4.35 and 21.13 ± 2.289 respectively (p <0.001). The pre-test and post-test practice score were 4.75 ± 2.048 and 14.08 ± 0.829 respectively (p <0.001).
Conclusion: Video assisted teaching was effective in improving level of knowledge and practice in prevention of recurrence of MI among patients who had undergone coronary angioplasty.

Objectives: to assess the level of knowledge and practice on administration of insulin among diabetic patients and their care givers before and after intervention, to compare the level of knowledge and practice on administration of insulin among diabetic patients and their caregivers before and after intervention and to associate the pre-test level of knowledge and practice in administration of insulin among diabetes patients andtheir care givers with selected socio demographic and clinical data variables. Methodology: The study was conducted among 30 diabetes patients on insulin therapy using pre-experimental one group pre-test post-test design. Samples were selected by purposive sampling technique. The tool used for the study had 3 sections: Section A - Socio demographic and clinical data variables where the items include age, gender, marital status, educational status, occupation, monthly income, family history of diabetes mellitus, duration of illness, duration of insulin treatment, person administering insulin, any prior teachings on insulin administration and its source;Section B - Structured knowledge questionnaire; Section C - Structured practice checklist. Result: On data analysis it reveals that 14(46.7%) belongs to the age group of 61-80 years, 19(63.3%) are male, 29(96.7%) are married, 11(36.7%) have high school education, 18(60%) were unemployed‚ 14(46.7%) samples have family history of diabetes mellitus, 13(43.3%) have diabetes for less than 5 years and 4(13.3%) have duration of 11-15 years, 13(43.3%) take insulin for less than 1 year, 14(46.7%) administered insulin by themselves, 23(76.7%) had prior knowledge on insulin administration. The mean post-test knowledge score (19.46) of diabetic patients was higher than the mean pre-test knowledge score (10.2). The computed ‘t’ value (-19.631 ) showed a significant difference between the pre- test and posttest knowledge scores. The mean post-test practice score (19.60) of 30 diabetic patients was found to be significantly higher than their pre-test practice scores. There was a statistically significant relationship between the knowledge and practice level after structured teaching program (P<0.001). There was no significant association between knowledge and practice with selected socio demographic and clinical data variables. The teaching program was accepted by all subjects and showed their interest to learn theadministration of insulin.Keywords
