Context: Emotional labor is a requirement of a job that employees display required emotions toward others. Communication competence is the ability to choose a communication behaviour which is appropriate and effective for a given situation in the working environment. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to correlate emotional labor and communication competence on turnover among nurses.
Methods: The study participants comprises of 150 nurses recruited and enrolled on the basis of survey and correlational research design. Emotional labor and communication competence was assessed by using self administered questionnaire.
Results: The mean difference highlights that emotional dissonance and frequency of emotional expression stands high when compared with communication competence and duration of emotional caution. Nurse’s turnover had a positive correlation with their emotional labor and communication competence.
Conclusion: Emotional labor and communication competence had an effect on nurse’s turnover.

There has been considerable debate among methodologists about the value and legitimacy of this alternative set of standards for judging qualitative research. Perhaps there is some legitimacy to this counter argument. No one has yet done a thorough job of translating how the same criteria might apply in qualitative research contexts. For instance, the discussions of external validity have been dominated by the idea of statistical sampling as the basis for generalizing. Considerations of reliability have traditionally been inextricably linked to the notion of true score theory. For instance, Guba and Lincoln proposed four criteria for judging the soundness of qualitative research and explicitly offered these as an alternative to more traditional quantitatively-oriented criteria.

Mother's milk is well known as the wonder meal for a newborn. Breast milk contains all the nutrients required by the baby's body to develop. Although childbearing is known to protect against breast cancer, whether or not breastfeeding contributes to this protective effect is unclear.- Identification of Disruptive Behaviour Disorders

Context: Disruptive Behaviour Disorders are relatively common in school aged children and frequently are part of the presenting complaint in child psychiatric treatment settings.
Objective: To identify the disruptive behaviour disorders among primary school children and find out the association between disruptive behaviour disorders among primary school children and their selected demographic variables.
Methods: A Descriptive study was conducted among 30 primary school children to identify disruptive behaviour disorders by using convenient sampling technique. Demographic variables and Disruptive behaviour check list were used to collect the data on structured interview schedule basis.
Results: Findings of the study depicts that out of 30 primary school children 19 had disruptive behaviour disorders out of which (10.52%) had mild disruptive behaviour disorders, (47.36%) had moderate disruptive behaviour disorders and (42.12%) had severe disruptive behaviour disorders.
Conclusion: This study projects the importance of early identification of disruptive behaviour disorders and also incorporates the intervention for the better outcome of the primary school children.

A cancer biomarker refers to a substance or process that is indicative of the presence of cancer in the body. A biomarker may be a molecule secreted by a tumor or a specific response of the body to the presence of cancer. Genetic, epigenetic, proteomic, glycomic, and imaging biomarkers can be used for cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and epidemiology. Ideally, such biomarkers can be assayed in non-invasively collected bio fluids like blood or serum. The premise of nursing assessment is the same as that of biomarker use - biological variables that appear at one level of biological organization eg, molecule, organelle, cell, tissue, organ, and organism correspond to processes or events occurring at other levels of biologic organization. The advent of genomic technologies has logarithmically increased the volume of biomarkers, which are expected to provide new insights that improve patient care. This review article focus on the breast cancer nurses role in biomarkers which in turn has a very big research gap in order to draw an evidence based practice. Biomarkers in breast cancer include Tissue Predictive Biomarkers and Predictive Biomarkers in Body Fluids.Keywords

Context: Self Management Support is the care and encouragement provided for patients with psychosis to carry out the activities of daily living.
Aim: To find out the outcome of self management support on conative behaviour of patients with psychosis.
Design and Setting: Randomized block design was used to conduct the study at Government Head Quarters Hospital, Erode, Tamil Nadu.
Methods and Material: Simple random sampling technique was used for selecting 40 samples, 10 in each experimental group. Self management support on bathing and behaviour chart was given for male and female patients in experimental group I and III; bathing was given for male and female patients in experimental group II and IV. The tools used were demographic variables and Conative Behaviour Assessment Rating Scale.
Statistical analysis used: Frequency, Percentage, Mean, Standard deviation, Randomized Block Design ANOVA and Chi-square test were used to analyze the data.
Results: Findings of the study depicts that Randomized block design ANOVA tested the F1ratio (Male) value which was (3.14) for the experimental group I and II and F2ratio (Female) value was (4.72) for the experimental group III and IV. When compared with male patients, female patient’s conative behaviour had improved after the implementation of Self Management Support. Significant association was found between posttest scores on conative behaviour and the demographic variable with diagnosis in experimental group I.
Conclusion: Self management support is an effective intervention for the male and female psychosis patients.
