Understanding Prostate Cancer: Key Facts and Insights

Mrs. Agnes Mahima David

  • Pages: 10 – 14
    • <p>Prostate cancer is a significant health concern for men worldwide, typically developing slowly within the prostate gland, though aggressive variants can progress rapidly and pose greater treatment challenges. Early detection remains crucial for improving survival and quality of life. Recent research underscores the complexity of prostate cancer risk, highlighting established factors such as age, race, family history, genetic mutations, diet, and obesity, as well as emerging considerations including chemical exposures and chronic inflammation. Treatment options are diverse and tailored to disease stage, ranging from active surveillance for indolent cases to surgery, radiation, hormone therapy, chemotherapy, and advanced modalities like targeted therapy and immunotherapy. Prevention strategies focus on modifiable lifestyle factors, including a nutritious diet, regular exercise, weight management, and avoidance of smoking, while the role of medications and screening is individualized based on risk. Ongoing advances in understanding risk and therapeutic options are improving outcomes for men affected by prostate cancer.</p>

  • Pages: 19-24
    • <p>The findings of this research show that there is a need for enhanced instructional support on MEWS in the curriculum of B.Sc. in Nursing at both undergraduate level through focused teaching, clinical demonstrations, and repeated reinforcement during clinical training. The overall knowledge score shows that the students have poor knowledge about MEWS as shown by the Mean = 8.7 &amp; SD = 3.2. There was no statistically significant relationship found between the scores of knowledge and demographic characteristics. Adequate knowledge of MEWS is necessary among nursing students because they are required to recognize signs of abnormal physiological changes during their postings in clinical settings and subsequent professional practice. Methods: Quantitative descriptive study was conducted with 60 fourth year B.Sc. Nursing students from selected nursing schools in Kurnool. Convenient sampling method was adopted and the data collection instrument was a selfconstructed questionnaire on MEWS. Results: Majority of the respondents belonged to age group 20 &ndash; 21 years (60%) and females (66.6%), single (63.4%), hostel residents (63.4%) and most of them were exposed to medical wards (43.4%). Majority of the students reported previous experience with MEWS or early warning systems training (66.7%), while clinical demonstrations were most frequently used as a source of information (51.6%).</p>
