Background: Worm infestation is a major problem in children from developing countries due to bad hygienic conditions. These parasitic infection manifested by reduced growth rates and children are not able to achieve their full potential in physical performance and education. So a study was undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of planned teaching programme on knowledge of mothers regarding prevention of worm infestation.
Material and methods: evaluative approach with Pre -experimental one group pretest post test design was used. Study was conducted on 30 mothers residing in Kale village by using non probability purposive sampling technique.
Results: - pre and post test knowledge score were compared with the help of paired 't' test. Pre test mean was 10.06 and post -test mean was 15.06. The calculated 't' value 13.079 is more than table value. Hence there is significant difference between pre-test and post test knowledge level. This shows that mothers improved their knowledge after receiving planned teaching programme. This study recommends follow up study to determine the effectiveness of structured teaching programme, in terms of change in behavior towards the practices of mothers regarding prevention of worm infestation.

The aim of the study is to assess the existing knowledge of the workers regarding occupational health hazards. Objective of doing this study is to determine the effectiveness of health educational material on occupational health hazards among the jaggery factory workers in terms of gain in knowledge. To find out the association between the knowledge and demographical variable of jaggery factory workers. Material & Methods used for the study is the Evaluative approach with Quasi experimental (one group for pre-test and post-test)design was used. Study was conducted at Jaggery factory located in Kolhapuron 100 subjects from selected jaggery factories within 30 to 35 kilo meters around Kolhapur., Using Convenience sampling technique with randomly allocation of groups, It was observed that Overall Mean knowledge regarding occupational health hazards in the jiggery factory among the subjects was (33%) had good knowledge, (61%) had average, while ( 6%) had poor knowledge.2) The overall Mean knowledge about knowledge on prevention on occupational health hazards in jiggery factories among the subjects was (12%) had good knowledge, (87%) had average while (1 %) had poor knowledge.3) It was evident that maximum number of subjects had average knowledge on prevention/ control on occupational health hazards in jiggery factories among the subjects was
( 27 %) had good knowledge, (67%) had average while (6 %) had poor knowledge. 4) Calculated χ2 values showed there is the statistically significant association between education ( p< 0.0215) level of significance regarding occupational health hazards in the jaggery factory. Therefore, education plays an important role in lack of knowledge regarding occupational health hazards in the jaggery factory workers

Severe anemia during pregnancy is a potentially hazardous hematological disorder. According to a World Health Organization (WHO) report the global prevalence of anemia among pregnant women is 55.9%. In India, the highest prevalence of moderate anemia was found in Nagaon District (82.7%) noted by G. S. Toteja et al., in 2006. The present study was aimed to assess the relationship of placental weight and fetal outcome among normal and anemic delivered mothers. The objectives of the study are to assess and compare placental weight and fetal outcome among normal and anemic delivered mothers and to find an association between placental weight and fetal outcome with selected demographic variables in both groups. Quantitative research approach and comparative, descriptive design was used for the study. The study was conducted at Krishna hospital Karad by using Purposive sampling technique on 62 normal and 62 anemic mothers. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for analysis. Results shows that unpaired t test revealed that mean placental weight of anemic mothers was significantly higher than of normal mothers (p<0.05). Mean fetal weight of babies delivered to normal mothers was significantly higher than the babies delivered to anemic mothers (p<0.05) and length of babies delivered to normal mothers was significantly higher than babies delivered to anemic mothers (p<0.05). There was significant association was found between placental weight of normal mothers and monthly income of family, (p<0.05). The study concludes that correlation between placental weight and birth weight of babies shows significant difference with a positive correlation in both the groups. This means as the placental weight increases the birth weight also increases and vice-versa.Keywords

With the social and economic changes in recent years, women’s role has also significantly changed and with a considerable share of the job market, i.e., 42%. If the burden of pregnancy and child birth is added to it, it could be stressful to the mother and likely to affect the birth weight as well as gestational age of the baby adversely. A study to find out relationship between occupation of women and the birth weight and gestational age of the baby was undertaken at Krishna Hospital; Karad. The data was collected on randomly selected 380 pregnant women by using structured interview schedule at registration and followed them till delivery. Data was analyzed in respect to the objectives of the study by using descriptive and inferential statistics. There were 23(6.0%) heavy workers. All of them were working on road construction sites and delivered 19(82.8%) Low Birth Weight (LBW) babies out of them 06(26.1%) were preterm births. The mean birth weight and Gestational age of babies born to heavy workers were 2199.1 ± 488.5g and 262.3±18.6 days as compared to 2764.4 ± 463.7g and 274.0±13.4 days for moderate workers 2688.8± 475.5g and 275.6±13.1 days for sedentary workers respectively. The study concluded that heavy maternal physical activity had a significant deleterious effect on birth weight and gestational age.Keywords
