Prof.Dr.Minu.S.R

  • Pages: 1-7
    • <p>The changing nature of global conflicts, such as hybrid warfare, terrorism, pandemics, and climate-related disasters, has reshaped healthcare demands. Nurses, as frontline providers, are essential to emergency preparedness and response. This review explores conflict preparedness from a nursing perspective, focusing on key competencies, challenges, and strategies to strengthen nursing readiness in various conflict scenarios. The paper underscores the importance of integrated training, policy support, and resilience-building for effective healthcare delivery during crises</p>

    • <p>Obstetrical emergencies likepostpartum haemorrhage (PPH), eclampsia, sepsis, and shoulder dystocia stick around to beprime reasons of maternal morbidity and mortality comprehensively. Nurses and midwives are frontline providers responsible for early recognition and prompt response. Simulation-based training (SBT) has garnered attention as a tactic to enhance clinical adroitness without risk to patients. The objective is to methodically estimate the effectiveness of simulation-based training in augment knowledge, psychomotor skills, synergy, and therapeutic results among nurses committed in obstetric emergency management. A systematic review wasorchestratedadhering to PRISMA guidelines. Databases including PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, and Google Scholar were sourced for studies published between January 2015 and December 2025. Keywords included &ldquo;simulation-based training,&rdquo; &ldquo;obstetric emergencies,&rdquo; &ldquo;nurses,&rdquo; &ldquo;midwives,&rdquo; and &ldquo;maternal outcomes.&rdquo; Eligible studies included randomized controlled trials (RCTs), quasi-experimental, and observational studies focusing on simulation interventions. Data were synthesized narratively. There were thirty-one studies which met the inclusion criteria. Simulation-based training significantly improved nurses&rsquo; knowledge, technical skills, communication, and confidence. High-fidelity simulation showed superior outcomes compared to low-fidelity models. Evidence suggested improvements in response time, adherence to protocols, and reduction in adverse maternal outcomes, although direct mortality reduction evidenceremains limited. Simulation-based training is an effective and evidence-based approach for improving obstetric emergency management among nurses. Integration into nursing education and in-service training is strongly recommended, especially in resource-limited settings.</p>

    • <p>Family caregivers are essential in supporting individuals with mental health conditions. However, insufficient knowledge about mental well-being and the management of psychiatric disorders can negatively affect caregiving quality, increase caregiver burden, and worsen patient outcomes. Conditions such as depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and anxiety disorders are major contributors to global disability (World Health Organization, 2020). Caregivers often experience stress due to limited understanding of symptoms, treatment adherence, crisis management, and self-care strategies</p>

    • <p>Indian society attaches a grave stigma to infertile woman. Infertility affects both men and women of reproductive age in all parts of the world. Efficient reproduction is essential to the continuance of any species and is the most basic drive for existence. Infertility is the inability of a couple to achieve a pregnancy after repeated intercourse without contraception within one year. Frequent intercourse without birth control measures usually results in pregnancy:For 50% of couples within 3 months ,For 75% within 6 months For 90% within 1 year evaluate the pretest knowledge of the chosen ladies about infertility. Give women in a particular Jabalpur urban area video-assisted instruction on infertility. Assess the post-test knowledge of infertility among women in a specific urban area of Jabalpur. Examine the post-test knowledge of women in a particular Jabalpur urban area regarding infertility. Women between the ages of 20 and 35 make up the population in this study. In the present study the population consists of women age between 20-35 yr. The sample size is 60women (20-35 yr). The investigator adopted no probability Purposive Sampling technique. Self-administered knowledge in metropolitan areas is used to collect data; the pre-test mean knowledge score is 12.7 with a standard deviation. 4.6; with a 3.39 standard deviation, the post-test mean knowledge score is 24.6. The results showed that knowledge had increased. score regarding infertility in comparison to the pre-test knowledge score following the delivery of video-assisted infertility education. In this study, researchers are evaluating women's awareness about infertility in specific urban and rural areas of Jabalpur (M.P.).the sample. comprised 60 ladies aged 20 to 35.A pre-test is used to evaluate women's knowledge regarding through structured questionnaire</p>

    • <p>Infertility is a significant reproductive health concern affecting couples worldwide, often accompanied by emotional, psychological, and social distress. Nurses play a crucial role in guiding patients through infertility treatment; however, gaps in updated knowledge may hinder effective care delivery. To assess the effectiveness of simulation-based teaching on knowledge regarding advanced infertility management among staff nurses. A controlled experimental study with pre-test and post-test assessments was conducted among 80 staff nurses selected through simple random sampling. Participants were divided into experimental (n=40) and control (n=40) groups. A structured questionnaire was used to assess knowledge. The experimental group received simulationbased teaching, whereas the control group continued routine learning. Post-test evaluation was done after 10 days. The experimental group demonstrated a significant improvement in knowledge scores compared to the control group (p &lt; 0.05). Within-group analysis also showed a marked increase in post-test scores following the intervention. Simulation-based teaching significantly enhances nurses&rsquo; knowledge regarding infertility management and should be incorporated into nursing education and training programs</p>
