Abstract Background: The Nurse’ knowledge, Attitude and Practice toward their roles in the Organ Donation Process are extremely important to the success of organ donation. Therefore, the nurses involved with this phenomenon should be aware of their roles. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of Context-Based Learning educational program on Nurse' knowledge, Attitude, and Practice about Nurse's Role in Organ Donation Process.Methods: In this Experimental study, Through Random Assignment, 3 ICU Wards of Gheam Hospital of Mashhad university of medical science devoted to Context-based Learning (Intervention) and 6 Wards devoted to Workshop Group (Control). Then through the Stratified Random Sampling Allocation Method, Demandable Nurses That Determine based on Pilot Study Were Selected and Intervention Was Done on 60 ICU Nurses (each group, n=30(. The CBL Training was performed in 3 sessions, every session length 2 hours, and the Time Interval between Sessions was 1 week. In the workshop group, Intervention was performed in two stages, every stages length 3 hours and between two stages was last 1 week. Both groups before and 1 month after intervention complete the questionnaire of Assessing Nurse's Knowledge, Attitude and Practice about Nurse's Role in Organ Donation Process. Data Analysis was done by SPSS11.5 software and by using t-test, Paired test, Wilcoxon, Man-whinny, and Chi-Square.Results: Change Score of Knowledge in Context-Based Learning was (43/4± 13/1) greater Than Workshop Group (14/3± 4/0) that statistically was Significant (p<0/001). Also in Attitude Change Score in Context-Based Learning was (28/7 ± 21/2) greater Than the Workshop group (13/1± 8/7) which statistically was Significant (p<0/001). Furthermore, in Practice Change Score in Context-Based Learning was (73/6± 21/1) greater Than the Workshop group (23/3± 6/8) which statistically was Significant (p<0/001).Conclusion: Based on Results, the Context-Based Learning Method had more effect in increasing the average Level of Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice about the Nurse’s Role in the Organ Donation Process rather than the Workshop Method. It is therefore suggested to utilize Context-Based Learning Method for the education of Nurse's Role in Organ Donation Process.

Background: There is a gradual decrease in health status and daily functioning in patients with end stage organ failure and timing of death remains uncertain. Organ transplantation is the only cure to such patients. Organ donation rate in India is only 0.26 per million. This is due to lack of awareness about the need of organ donation and the ignorance of common men and medical fraternity about the importance, procedures, benefits and legal issues of organ donation. The objective of this study is to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice regarding organ donation among medical interns.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 160 interns with a pre-tested, semi structured questionnaire in order to assess their knowledge, attitude and practice regarding organ donation. Data collected was analysed using SPSS software.Results: The mean age of the interns was 23.03±0.73 and majority were females (70%). 79.4% of interns were having adequate knowledge and majority (77.5%) were willing for organ donation. Only 5.6% had donor card. Willingness for organ donation was significantly associated with knowledge about organ donation. The major barrier for organ donation was fear of organs misuse. Most common source of information was found to be internet.Conclusions: Though most of the interns had adequate knowledge, still gaps exist in their knowledge, attitude and practices. By giving right knowledge and orientation medicos can be become future organ donors who can then easily motivate their patients to follow the path.

Background: Birth spacing is defined as the time interval between two births. India has average birth spacing of 22 months, i.e. little less than two years, despite wide knowledge of contraception. Objective of present study was to investigate the knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding birth spacing and methods available for spacing in rural Haryana amongst sexually active married females of reproductive age.Methods: Cross sectional study of 500 sexually active, married females of reproductive age with at least one live issue and not meeting any exclusion criteria was carried at SGT medical college, Gurgaon during 3 months from August 2017.Results: Awareness of need for birth spacing was very high (82.6%) in females interviewed, with 70% of females being aware of birth spacing benefits as well as keen to opt for birth spacing but even higher count of females (92.6%) reporting requiring husband’s consent for birth spacing. Only 40% females were practising birth spacing with 14.6% of females reporting in-law’s opposition as reason for not practising birth spacing.Conclusions: Education is a major factor improving awareness of need as well as benefits of child spacing, with all college studied females being aware of both. Education also leads to improvement in keenness for practising child spacing as well as having lesser opposition to practise of child birthing. Females with only girl child/children were less keen to practise child spacing. Rural geographies still have health personnel as significant source imparting awareness of child spacing.

Background: India is the second highest populated country in the world with 1.32 billion populations and will reach 1.53 billion by next 30 years. The birth spacing is defined as the time interval between two births. While knowledge of birth spacing has reached substantial levels, conversion of this knowledge into a change in attitude and practicing of birth spacing appears lagged and challenged. Our objective was to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice of various birth spacing methods among the antenatal women of rural Thoothukudi.Methods: A descriptive cross sectional study was conducted among antenatal women who came for their routine antenatal checkup at the PHCs. Data was collected with a pre-tested, semi-structured questionnaire and analysed. Results were expressed in percentages and proportions.Results: Out of 120 antenatal women participated in the study, majority (82.5%) had knowledge about ideal spacing period of 2 to 3 years. But majority of the women (79.20%) did not practice any of the birth spacing methods and only 20.80% women were actually practicing some of the birth spacing methods and the common method was Copper-T. The common reason for not adopting and discontinuance of contraceptive method is fear of its adverse effects (31%).Conclusions: The study results revealed that most of the women were aware that birth spacing between pregnancies is important and knew only about Cu-T. Also they knew that the ideal spacing interval should be 3 years. Thus Health Education Programmes are a must to enhance the knowledge of antenatal women about birth spacing methods.
