Aim: This descriptive investigation was planned to define the level of knowledge of nurses on the care of enterally fed patients.Method: This research study was performed with 170 nurses who were working at a training and education hospital in the borders of the city of Ankara and who accepted to participate in the study. Data were collected by a data collection form which was produced by the investigators and was composed of 26 questions. The Mann-Whitney U-test, Kruskal-Wallis H-test and chi-square test were used in the analysis of the data.Findings:The mean total knowledge points of nurses on enteral tube feeding was 10,44 (Max: 18, min: 0). Nurses had more knowledge on peristomal skin problems (83,53%), feeding position (80,59%) and interventions directed on at the prevention of nausea and vomiting (73,53%). Nurses were weakest on residual volume (88,82%), pulmonary aspiration (61,76%) and tube care (56,47%). Nurses working in the intensive care unit had more knowledge on enteral tube feeding compared to nurses working at other clinics.Result: As a result of this study, nurses were found to not to have the desired level of knowledge on enteral feeding. In this context, the organization of education programs, creation of care standards by institutions and repeating the study in different groups are recommended.Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file.Özet Amaç: Araştırma, hemşirelerin enteral beslenen hastaların bakımına ilişkin bilgi düzeylerinin belirlenmesi amacıyla tanımlayıcı olarak yapılmıştır.Yöntem: Araştırma, Ankara ili sınırları içinde bulunan bir eğitim ve araştırma hastanesi’nde çalışan ve çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden 170 hemşire ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler, araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulan 26 sorudan oluşan veri toplama formu aracılığı ile elde edilmiştir. Verilerin analizinde; Mann Whitney U Testi, Kruskal Wallis H Testi, Ki-Kare Testi kullanılmıştır.Bulgular: Araştırmada, hemşirelerin tüple enteral beslenmeye yönelik toplam bilgi puan ortalamalarının 10, 44 (Max: 18, min: 0) olduğu belirlenmiştir. Hemşirelerin stoma çevresindeki cilt problemleri (%83,53) beslenme pozisyonu (% 80,59) ve bulantı kusmayı önlemeye yönelik girişimler (%73,53) ile ilgili soruları daha fazla oranda bildikleri saptanmıştır. Hemşirelerin en çok rezidüel volüm (%88,82), pulmoner aspirasyon (%61,76) ve tüp bakımı (%56,47) ile ilgili soruları bilemedikleri saptanmıştır. Yoğun bakım ünitesinde çalışan hemşirelerin diğer klinikte çalışan hemşirelere göre tüple enteral beslenmeye ilişkin soruları daha fazla bildikleri belirlenmiştir.Sonuç: Araştırmanın sonucunda hemşirelerin enteral beslenme konusunda istendik düzeyde bilgiye sahip olmadıkları belirlenmiştir. Bu bağlamda konuya ilişkin eğitim programlarının düzenlenmesi, kurumların bakım standartlarını oluşturması ve bu çalışmanın farklı gruplarda tekrarlanması önerilmektedir.

  Abstract   Self-medication is a human effort to treat diseases or symptoms of minor ailments such as fever, cough, flu, pain and others without a doctor's prescription. In practice, limited knowledge of drugs and their use can be a source of medication errors (medication error). This research was conducted with a cross sectional descriptive research method. Data was collected through a validated questionnaire filling technique. A total of 300 respondents involved in this study were selected by consecutive sampling method from 3 pharmacies in the city of Purwokerto which were determined proportionally according to the population of each pharmacy. Data were analyzed by Chi-square test and Fisher's test used Statistical Product and Servicer Solution (SPSS) version 17. The results showed that the patient's knowledge level was 22.6% classified as poor, 48% classified as moderate, and 29.4% classified as good. The use of self-medication is 26.3% irrational and 73.7% rational. Based on the results of the study, it was found that the patient's level of knowledge was classified as moderate with a percentage of 48%. While self-administered rationality is classified as rational with a percentage of 73.7%.   Keywords: Self-medication, Pharmacy, Knowledge, Rationality of drug use

The present study assessed the level of dentists’ knowledge regarding oral cancer in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. A questionnaire was used to compare the level of knowledge among newly graduated and senior clinicians. A total of 20,154 e-mails were correctly delivered to the dentists registered in the database of the Regional Dentistry Council of São Paulo, and 477 (2.36%) responses were received. This sample consisted of 84 newly graduated clinicians and 105 senior clinicians. For the statistical analysis, the chi-square test and the logistic regression analysis were performed withα = 0.05, and the results were described herein. According to their knowledge level, the results were statistically different between the groups, since 19% of the newly graduated clinicians were evaluated with knowledge grade A (excellent) in comparison to 6.7% of the senior clinicians. In spite of the results indicated that newly graduated clinicians’ knowledge regarding oral cancer was 2.1 times higher, 34.5% of the professionals in this group had regular or poor knowledge on the subject, and several questions relating to clinical characteristics and risk factors indicated that there still exist some knowledge gaps, demonstrating that there is a need for further studies and information activities addressing oral cancer.

Hypertension is one of the number one causes of death and disability in the world. Hypertension contributes nearly 9.4 million deaths from cardiovascular disease each year. Hypertension can cause undesirable effects, it needs good handling, one of them is by doing a hypertension diet. To carry out a hypertension diet requires knowledge, lack of knowledge can increase risk factors for hypertension. This study aims to determine the relationship of the level of knowledge about hypertension diet to the incidence of hypertension in the elderly at the Baloi Permai Public Health Center Batam City. This research method is an analytic observational with a cross-sectional approach conducted at the Baloi Permai Public Health Center Batam City 2018. Sampling technique is a total sampling with a sample of 64 people in 2018 determined by inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results of the study were analyzed with frequency distribution and then tested with the Chi-square test. Based on the results of this study indicate that of the 64 respondents found elderly who have a good level of knowledge are 41 people (64.1%), 48 people (75.0%) have an age range between 60-70 years. 27 people (42.2%) elderly have the last high school education and 40 people (62.5%) have jobs as entrepreneurs. Elderly people who have normal blood pressure are 40 people (62.5%), and those affected by hypertension are 24 people (37.5%). The elderly who have a family history of hypertension is 21 people (32.8%) and those who do not have a history of hypertension are 43 people (67.2%). Chi-Square Test analysis results show the significance value p = 0.009. This number is significant because the p-value is smaller than the significance level (α) ≤ 5% (0.05), so H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. Therefore it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship about the level of knowledge about the hypertension diet to the incidence of hypertension in the elderly. From the results of this study it was concluded that there was a relationship between the level of knowledge about the hypertension diet and the incidence of hypertension in the elderly at the Baloi Permai Public Health Center Batam City in 2016.

Soil damage by moving water is a somber predicament on farmlands in highland Ethiopia. Sizeable number of trial in farmland preservation has been executed to handle the crisis during the last tens of years. However, the attempts have not been vibrant to trim-down the danger to an attractive extent. This paper evaluates factors contributing to application of soil-steps (bunds) as sustainable farmland management technology (SFLMT) by smallholder farmers in one of the high-potential districts of northwest Ethiopia named Dangila Woreda (District). Mixed method triangulation designs involving concurrent acquisition and interpretation of quantitative and qualitative data were used in the study. Data were acquired from randomly chosen 201 farming households during the harvest seasons of 2011 and 2012. Ordered questionnaire, participatory field observation, key informant interview and focus group discussion were mechanisms employed during the data acquisition. Descriptive statistics (means, standard deviations and percentiles), Chi-square test, t-test and the binary logistic regression model were used to analyze the quantitative data. The qualitative information was textually narrated to augment the quantitative results. Findings of the investigation confirm that age of the household head, the number of household members, slope of the farmland, the size of the farmland held, households’ participation in indigenous labour-sharing activities and the number of farm tools owned were significantly increasing the building of soil-steps as SFLMT in the study district. Involvement in off-farm activities and pest invasions were considerably hindering farmers from building soil-steps on their farmlands. The results in general indicated that households’ access to livelihood assets are key promoters for farmers’ implementation of soil-steps on their farmlands. Local resource preservation and improvement trials should thus ponder on convalescing farmers’ material endowments to improve their capability to use soil-steps as SFLMT in their farming activities.
