The eye is the window to the world and it is a sensitive, highly specialized sense organ subject to various disorders, many of which lead to impaired vision. Blindness is a lack or loss of ability to see; lack of perception of visual stimuli. The diseases of the cornea are one of the major causes of blindness in India for which the vision can be restored by eye donation. Eye sight is very important for human life. The World Health Organization (W.H.O) estimates that for every 5 seconds, someone goes blind. Globally 37 million people are blind and of these nearly 10 lakh blind people are willing for corneal transplantation. Well informed adolescents could be expected to influence eye donation rates. Methods: Descriptive survey approach with co-relational design was used for the study. The aim of the study was to assess the knowledge and attitude regarding eye donation among the adolescents and to identify the relationship between them. The Structured knowledge questionnaire and Attitude scale on eye donation were used to collect the data. The data were collected by questionnaire method from 100 adolescents, who were selected using non-probability purposive sampling technique at Yenepoya pre- university college, Mangalore, India. Data collected from the subjects were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The mean percentage of the knowledge scores among adolescents were 57%, the mean percentage of the attitude scores among adolescents were 70.5% and there was a positive correlation between knowledge and attitude among adolescents (r(98) = 0.201). Table value r(98) = 0.236, p< 0.313). Conclusion: The findings of the study showed that the adolescents had good knowledge and positive attitude towards eye donation and there was a positive co-relation between knowledge and attitude among adolescents.

Eye Donation

Background: Corneal blindness is one of the important causes of blindness in India that can be conventionally cured by corneal transplantation. The number of corneal transplants done is less than the actual requirement in India due to inadequate number of corneas collected. Therefore increasing awareness regarding eye donation and also willingness to pledge for the same is the today’s need. Hence current study was undertaken to assess the awareness regarding eye donation and the willingness to pledge the eye for donation amongst the shopkeepers in urban area of Pune city.Methods: Total 1014 shopkeepers above 15 years of age from field practice area of Urban Health Training Center of a private medical college, Pune were interviewed regarding awareness of eye donation and willingness to pledge eye for eye donation.Results: Out of total 1014 subjects, 752 (74.16%) were aware of eye donation amongst which males were maximum (75.13%) compared to females (24.87%). Awareness was more in the age group >40 years i.e. 47.87%. Willingness to pledge eyes for eye donation was 19.83%.Conclusions: Though the awareness regarding eye donation is high very few of them are ready to donate their eyes. Therefore more transfer of knowledge is needed to motivate people for eye donation which will be helpful in reducing the gap between the availability of corneas and actual requirement.

<p>Indonesia, being a tropical area with high humidity, is a source of proliferation of worms. Soil-Transmitted Helminths infection is widespread in all rural and urban areas. Children who are infected usually experience lethargy, pallor or anemia, weight loss and listlessness, as well as decreasing their learning concentration and productivity. Prevention effort to reduce the incidence of Soil-Transmitted Helminths infection is conducted by providing the information on Soil-Transmitted Helminths infection. Health promotion cannot be separated from media because messages delivered through media can be more interesting and easier to understand. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a pocket book to increase preventive behavior for Soil-Transmitted Helminthes Infections. This type of research was a quasi-experimental study. The samples of this study were all elementary school infected students in grades 3, 4, and 5 with a package of interventions for the provision of a pocket book. The effectiveness of the pocket book is determined by using the t test. There are differences between the mean of knowledge and attitude, but the mean of behavior of Soil -Transmitted Helminths Infection before and after the pocket book is similar.</p>
