Nutrition is a basic human need and a prerequisite to a healthy life. In India about 35 percent of total population consists of children below 15 years of age. Malnutrition is the most wide spread condition affecting health of the children, there is an urgent need to institute supplementary feeding programmes in the developing countries. Hence the investigator had undertaken this study to evaluate the effectiveness of Krishna Poshak Mix on nutritional status of rural anganawadi children of Pedaparimi village, Mangalgiri Mandalam, Guntur district, Andhra Pradesh.” Methodology: A true- experimental, pre-test post-test control group research approach was adopted as research design in this study. Fifty subjects were selected by using simple random sampling technique who were assigned into Experimental group (n=25) and control group (n=25). Findings: The results of the study revealed that Krishna Poshak mix laddus were effective in improving the nutritional status of the preschool children. As it was evidenced by their improved mean values form the initial assessment of weight (12.72) and UMAC (13.16) in experimental group and in control group weight (12.01) and UMAC (12.91) to after 6 weeks assessment of weight (13.31) with ‘t’ value (29) and UMAC (13.6) with ‘t’ value (17.4) in experimental group and the control group mean values of weight (12.04) with ‘t’ value (0.54) and UMAC (12.91) with t’ value (1) which shows statistically significance association at p<0.05 level. Conclusion: The overall study findings concluded that KPM laddus as supplementary nutrition is an effective strategy which can help in improving anthropometric measurements of children and this can indirectly help to reduce the mortality and morbidity rate among the preschool children by recuperating the immune levels.Keywords

Background: Pressure ulcers are the common conditions among patients hospitalized in acute and chronic care facilities and impose significant burden on patients, their relatives and caregivers. Pressure ulcer lead to pain and discomfort for patients and also cause prolong illness, delay restoration, increase patient’s hospital stay, and may lead to infirmity and even death. The purpose of this study was to assess the student nurse’s knowledge and practices towards pressure ulcer prevention. Material and methods: A descriptive study among 84 student nurses was conducted in NRI College of Nursing. The study participants were selected by convenient sampling technique. A questionnaire on SSKIN (Surface, Skin inspection, Keep moving, Incontinence and Nutrition) aspects distributed among study participants. Data entered in master analysis sheet and analyzed for descriptive statistics and results presented in Graphs and Tables. Results: The Student Nurses overall mean knowledge score was (20.8±3.72) and 51.1% of respondents scored above mean who have been considered in the category of good knowledge about pressure ulcer prevention. The overall mean score for practices of respondents was (27.8±5.38) and about 51.1 % of them had secured above mean score and considered having adequate practices and remaining has inadequate practices of pressure ulcer prevention. There was a significant correlation (r=0.36 df=83 <0.05**) with their practices and knowledge toward pressure ulcer prevention. Conclusion: The student nurses overall knowledge and practices toward pressure ulcer are poor and inadequate. Hence the student nurses who are going to become full pledged nurses within few months need to get continuing education and training about pressure ulcer prevention that will enhance their knowledge and practices can be improved.Keywords
