Background: Girls in many low and middle-income countries enter puberty with knowledge gaps and misconceptions about menstruation may lead to unsafe hygienic practices that increase health risk. Despite such importance, educated girls' knowledge and hygienic practice towards menstruation are not well addressed in India. Consequently, the present study attempted to assess menstrual hygiene knowledge and practice among college students in Lucknow city in north India. Method: An online college-based cross-sectional study design was employed in Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh in India. Data collection was carried out from September 11 to September 25, 2020, using a google form among undergraduate and Postgraduate students. All variables that were significant at bivariate level (at P-value < 0.05) were entered into multivariate analysis using a logistic regression model to control for confounding factors. In the final model, P-value of less than 0.05 was used as a base to identify factors having a statistically significant association with poor knowledge and hygiene practice at corresponding 95% confidence interval. Results: More than half of students' ages of menarche were between 12-15 years, and duration of menses flow was between 3-5 days. The most common premenstrual symptom was abdominal pain (67%) and back pain (50.5%). Majority of the students had first time discussed menstrual problems with their mothers (69.2%). Around 94% of students were currently using a sanitary pad as an absorbent. Regarding cleanliness, about (90.9%) girls clean their genitals after urinating during mensuration. Around 18.9% used medication during menstruation. Multivariate analyses reveal that students of Science and Technology (vs Commerce and Management Students) and monthly family income 50-100 thousand (vs < 25 thousands) were associated with good knowledge about menstruation. In contrast, students' fathers were graduates (vs school educated); the occupation was 'Other'(vs Farmer) ; living in a nuclear family(vs Joint family) and residing in urban areas(vs Rural) were less likely to have good menstruation knowledge. Besides, good hygiene practices are less likely to have with 'Other' Religion(vs Hindu), working mother(vs Housewife), monthly family income between 25 to 50 thousand(vs <25 thousands), and Nuclear family(vs Joint family) (p<0.05). Conclusions Most college students had poor knowledge but followed hygienic practices correctly. It demonstrates a need to design acceptable awareness creation and advocacy programs to improve college students' knowledge during menstruation. Of all the sociodemographic factors, monthly income and types of family influenced students' knowledge and practices related to menstruation.

Introduction: Worldwide Haemophilia A (HA) is the most common coagulation factor deficiency. It affects all populations and its prevalence varies among different countries, but roughly prevalence is estimated to be of 3-20 cases per 100,000 population. The classification of HA provides a guidance to possible types of bleeding and the rate of occurrence of hemorrhagic episodes. The hemophiliac patients with severe form, can be presented with spontaneous bleeding and hemorrhage after minor trauma about 1-6 times in a month, including hemarthrosis and intramuscular hemorrhage. In moderate form, the patients usually experience bleeding after mild to moderate injuries, while HA patients with mild form may not be diagnosed for years and bleed after surgery or major trauma. About 70% of children who have a positive history of HA in the family are diagnosed at birth or after the first bleeding episode. Material and Methods: A complete medical history of the patient was taken with reference to the name, age, sex, address, occupation, history of present illness, duration illness, education of patient and parent. Previous history of treatment, past and personal history and socio-economic status were noted. Parents were explained the purpose of the study and the procedures involved.The Hemophilia Joint Health Score (HJHS) was used to assess joint health in children included in the study. Results: Age of diagnosis >=12 months was observed in 28 (54.90%) of cases while in 23 (45.10%) cases age of diagnosis was < 12 months. Out of 51 cases Severe disease was observed in 45(88.23%) of cases, moderate in 4(7.84%) and mild form was observed in 2(3.95%).Out of total 51 cases 42 (82.4%) were from the nuclear family while 9(17.6%) were from the joint family. Mean HJHS was higher in patients of nuclear family as compared to joint family. Conclusion: HJHS shows construct validity and is more sensitive for mild arthropathy and can be used for studies in children with hemophilia. No correlation of different demographic parameters in children suffering from hemophilia A was seen. Keywords: HJHS, HA, Hemophilia A and B, CDC, HTCs, UDC,FA.

Women in modern global world have to play a dual role as homemaker and career builder. The present investigation was conducted to examine the stress among the working and homemaker women with respect to their family type. It was hypothesized that there is significant difference between the working women and homemakers of nuclear and joint family type. In order to verify the above hypothesis a sample of 90 women’s were taken from Dharwad district, Karnataka State, India. Among them working women’s were 45 (nuclear family N=23, joint family N= 22) and homemakers were 45 (nuclear family N=22, joint family N= 23). To measure the stress, the stress scale developed by Singh (2002) was administrated individually to the subjects. The data were subjected to ‘t’ analysis and the major findings of the study revealed that women from nuclear family experience significantly more stress than joint family women. And also the finding revealed that working women from nuclear family undergo significantly high stress than working women from the joint family.

Value Shift

The predominant type of living arrangement in pre-independence India was joint family system. It was based on the notion of collectivism and charity. It was a serving place for not only nurturing and preserving social values, but also passing them down through generations. After the advent of industrialization and subsequent emergence of urbanization and modernization, the joint families started disintegrating into nuclear families. The modern nuclear family is perpetually promoting the principle of individualism or independence in contrast to the value of collectivism deep-rooted in joint family. It is, therefore, a value shift in family from collectivism to individualism. It is followed by a loyalty shift in family from lineal ties to conjugal ties. Consequently, nuclear family has become an indispensible social unit in contemporary Indian society. However, its sustainability may perhaps be uncertain in a distant future because of the inclination of present younger generation to complete independence in life. Probably this may result in the emergent of a new type of living arrangement to satisfy the needs of generations of people in a remote future.

ABSTRACT A strong preference for male child exists in our society. Most of the factors that compel or favor son preference are social in origin. A cross-sectional study was conducted to ascertain preference for male child in married females of two semiurban communities in Pune and determinants thereof. Unit of study was a married woman in reproductive age group of 16 to 45 years. A close-ended, pretested structured interview schedule was prepared. Face-to-face interview was conducted with the respondents. Preference for a male child was taken as presence of sex preference in the respondent. Data was analyzed using EPI 2002 software. Preference for male child was present in half of the respondents. Remaining half believed that it is not necessary for each couple to have a male child. Proportion of women with preference for a male child decreased as the educational level of women increased and it was found that there was a significant linear relationship between literacy status and son preference (p < 0.05). Significantly more (64%) of joint family respondents had son preference than nuclear family (40%). The odds of a respondent from a joint family having a son preference were 2.6 times that of a respondent in nuclear (p < 0.05). Hindus had significantly more preference for male child as compared to non-Hindus. The most common reason for desire to have a male child was ‘an expectation of security in old age’. Others reasons included ‘to perform last rites’ and ‘to make in-laws happy’. How to cite this article Dudeja P, Singh A, Jindal A, Bhatnagar N.
