Many neonates admitted to hospital undergo repeated invasive procedures. Oral sucrose is frequently given to relieve procedural pain in neonates on the basis of its effect on behavioural and physiological pain scores. The purpose of the study is to assess the level of pain among neonates before and after administration of 25% sucrose, to assess the effectiveness of 25% sucrose orally among neonates in NICU and to assess the association between the level of pain among neonates and selected demographic variable such as age, sex, weight, gestation, ordinal position of the neonates and type of invasive procedure. The study method was Evaluate research approach and a pre experimental (one group pre-testpost-test design) was used. Non randomized purposive sampling technique was used to select the sample for the study. The total sample consists of 60 neonates admitted in NICU. Pain was assessed during invasive procedure before administration of 25%sucrose and 0.02- 2ml sucrose was given 2mins prior to next painful procedure. The pain was assessed during procedure at 30second and at 1minute by neonatal infant pain scale (NIPS) for neonates. The result of the study concluded that mean and standard deviation score for pain during procedure, 30 seconds and 1 minute in the pre-test was 6.5, 4.7, 2.5 and in the post test were 4.2, 1.9, 0.5. Thecalculated‘t’ value was 9.4***, 10.6***, 7.4*** is significant p value (<0.001). It reveals that there was significant difference existing between pre-test and post-test pain score. It is evident that the 25% sucrose is significantly effective in reducing of pain among neonates undergoing painful procedure.

Hepatitis E virus is most common in people between the ages of 15 to 40. In young children Hepatitis E Virus infection often has no symptoms .Evaluative research approach and a pre experimental (one group pre test and post test design) were used. Non randomized purposive sampling technique was used to select the sample for the study. The total study sample consisted of 60mothers of school children. The following conclusions are drawn from the findings of the study. The mothers of school age children have moderate knowledge Hepatitis A & E. The planed teaching programme is found to be effective in terms of gain in knowledge after post test after administration of planned teaching programme the knowledge score was improved. So the planned teaching programme is effective in improving the knowledge of mothers of school age children.- A Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Soya Milk on Degree of Malnutrition among Pre-School Children (3-6 Years) in Anakaputhur at Chennai-43

Child health is the foundation of the family and wealth of a nation. Good nutrition is the basic component of growth and development for maintenance of health throughout life. “Nutrition is defined as combination of dynamic process by which the consumed food is utilized for nourishment, structural and functional efficiency of every cell of the body.” Under five children require balanced nutrition to become healthy for national growth and economic development. Malnutrition, insufficient consumption of protein and micronutrients exacerbated by frequent disease and infection (WHO, 2003), is a severe and widespread problem. Soya foods help children meet the dietary guidelines and that supports the normal Growth and development of children and it also improve growth when substituted in the diet of malnourished under five children. Thus soya foods can play an important part in treatment and prevention of malnutrition in fewer than five children. It meets thenormal nutritional status in fewer than five children.
