A STUDY TO ASSESS THE EFFECTIVENESS OF HEALTH EDUCATION REGARDING VECTOR CONTROL MEASURES AMONG PEOPLE IN SELECTED RURAL AREAS OF KANPUR, UTTAR PRADESH.

  • Pages: 1-8
    • <p>This study assessed the effectiveness of health education on vector control measures among adults in selected rural areas of Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, where vector-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue, chikungunya, and Japanese encephalitis remain major public health concerns due to poor sanitation, lack of awareness, and limited healthcare access.A one-group pre-test and post-test design using quantitative pre-experimental methods was used, involving 60 participants selected through non-probability purposive sampling. Baseline findings revealed that most participants had inadequate knowledge regarding vector-borne diseases and their prevention. Following a structured health education intervention, there was a significant improvement in knowledge levels, with the majority shifting from inadequate tocategories of adequate and mediocre expertise. The idea that health education successfully raises awareness is supported by the fact that the mean post-test score (16.86) was significantly higher than the mean pre-test score (9.45). Additionally, the study discovered a strong correlation between some demographic factors, such schooling, and knowledge levels. These findings highlight the critical role of health education in promoting preventive practices like eliminating stagnant water, using mosquito nets, and maintaining environmental hygiene. The study concludes that community-based educational interventions are effective, low-cost strategies for improving knowledge and supporting the control of vector-borne diseases, though broader studies are recommended for long-term impact assessment and generalization.1</p>

    • <p>Directly Observed Therapy Short-course (DOTS) is a globally recommended strategy for the effective management of tuberculosis. It focuses on supervised drug intake to ensure adherence and reduce treatment failure. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate how well an information booklet improved nursing students' understanding of DOTS therapy. The design used was a quantitative pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test. The study included 70 nursing students selected using simple random sampling. Data were collected using a structured knowledge survey both prior to and following the intervention. The results showed that following the distribution of the information booklet, knowledge ratings significantly improved. The effectiveness of the intervention was demonstrated by statistical analysis, which revealed that the post-test scores were much higher than the pre-test levels. The study concludes that educational materials such as information booklets are useful tools in enhancing knowledge among nursing students.</p>

    • <p>The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into nursing education is transforming the training of future healthcare professionals by enhancing clinical skills, critical thinking, and adaptability in a technology-driven healthcare environment. Video simulation training, an AI-supported pedagogical approach, utilizes interactive digital videos to replicate real-world clinical scenarios, enabling nursing students to practice skills, observe procedures, and engage in experiential learning. A quantitative research approach with a non-randomized onegroup pre-test and post-test design was adopted for the study. Power analysis was used to determine the sample size, and 350 participants were selected using purposive sampling technique based on the inclusion criteria. Structured knowledge questionnaires and Likert scale questionnaires were used to assess knowledge and perception. The findings revealed that in the post-test, 60.9% of participants demonstrated adequate knowledge, 36.6% had moderate knowledge, and only 2.6% showed inadequate knowledge regarding AI in nursing pedagogy. Regarding perception scores, 98.8% of participants demonstrated good perception after the intervention. The study also showed a significant association between knowledge and perception scores with selected demographic variables at p &lt; 0.001.The findings indicate that video simulation training is effective in improving nursing students&rsquo; knowledge and perception regarding Artificial Intelligence in Nursing Pedagogy</p>

    • <p>Pain assessment in pediatric populations is a critical yet complex component of clinical care due to developmental variability, communication barriers, and subjective interpretation of pain. This comprehensive review synthesizes evidence from 2020&ndash;2025 to identify best practices in pediatric pain assessment. Emphasis is placed on developmentally appropriate tools, self-report measures as the gold standard, behavioral and physiological indicators for non-verbal children, and multidimensional pain evaluation.1 The importance of reassessment, documentation, and family-centered care is highlighted. Barriers such as inadequate training, inconsistent tool utilization, and systemic constraints are also discussed.

Prof. Syed Sumiya

  • Pages: 1-5
    • <p>Schizophrenia is a chronic and severe mental disorder that affects perception, cognition, emotions, and behavior, significantly impairing an individual&rsquo;s functioning. It contributes to substantial disability worldwide and places a heavy burden on families and healthcare systems. Despite advancements in pharmacological and psychosocial treatments, delayed diagnosis, poor adherence, and fragmented care continue to hinder recovery outcomes. A structured, evidence-based nursing care bundle can enhance early identification, ensure continuity of care, and improve patient outcomes. This review explores the components, effectiveness, and implementation of a comprehensive schizophrenia care bundle, emphasizing the critical role of psychiatric nurses. Evidence highlights that coordinated interventions, including medication management, psychoeducation, and psychosocial rehabilitation, significantly improve quality of life and reduce relapse rates.1</p>
