ABSTRACT Background Sharp instrument injuries among health care students significantly increase the risk of transmission of different blood-borne pathogens which can lead to serious consequences including death. Objectives The study was carried out to determine the prevalence and factors associated with sharp instrument injuries among the health care students in the Mahatma Gandhi Mission's Campus, Navi Mumbai and to make recommendations to the institutional authorities about measures to be undertaken to prevent such injuries among the students. Materials and Methods A cross-sectional questionnaire study was conducted among 700 health care students which included dental, medical and nursing students during their clinical training at Mahatma Gandhi Mission's Campus, Navi Mumbai from May 2012 to July 2012. It was a self-administered questionnaire with a 1-year recall period for sharp instrument injury. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and Chi-square test. Results The questionnaire was completed by 627 students of which 76.4% of nursing, 75.4% of dental and 48.7% of the medical students had experienced sharp instrument injuries in the past 1 year with hollow-bore needle being the most common instrument causing such injuries. Overall, 77.4% of the students had not reported the incident of the injury and only 34.4% of the students had taken postexposure prophylaxis. Conclusion Educational interventions with effective training on proper handling and disposal of sharp instruments and postexposure prophylaxis along with the formation of a reporting center are some of the recommendations which can reduce the occupational exposure to sharp instrument injuries among the health care students.

AIM AND OBJECTIVES: To assess and compare the knowledge of prescription writing between second year MBBS students, interns and clinicians at tertiary health care center and medical college. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross sectional, three armed questionnaire based comparative study was conducted after approval of institutional ethics committee. A questionnaire comprising of 25 questions was designed and validated by experts to assess the knowledge regarding prescription writing amongst second year MBBS students, interns and clinicians. Maximum score of the questionnaire was 25. Statistical analysis: total marks scored was analyzed by “student’s t-test” Percentages of correct answers were analyzed by “chi-square test”. RESULTS: Excellent grade (marks between 19-25) was scored by 12% of Second year students, 24% of interns and 20% of clinician participants. Good grade (marks between 12-18) was scored by 56 % of second year students, 63% of interns and 55% of clinicians Average grade (marks below 12) was obtained by 32% of second year student, 13% by Interns and 25% by clinicians. The difference between the levels of knowledge about Prescription writing between second year MBBS students, Interns and clinicians was found to be statistically significant (p <0.014) Few doctors avoid writing prescription to their patients and they ask their junior’s to do so. Thus though being clinically advanced but may have less of exposure to theoretical knowledge. CONCLUSION: We concluded from the study that the knowledge about prescription writing was better in interns than the clinicians and the second year students. Few interventions like regular seminars and workshops on Prescription writing should be organized for MBBS students and also for clinicians who can be conducted at appropriate forums as a part of continuing medical education. Conducting well timed prescription audit at OPD and IPD level can go a long way in achieving this goal.

ABSTRACT Objective: To identify social, clinical and behavioral factors of tuberculosis patients that are associated with delay in the search for primary health care. Method: This is a cross-sectional, quantitative study conducted with 56 people on treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis in the city of Natal, in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. The data were collected through a structured instrument. The Chi-square and Fisher tests were applied to test the association between independent and dependent variables (search time). A value of p <0.05 was set as statistically significant. Results: No social or clinical variables were statistically associated with patient delays in the search for primary health care. Among the behavioral variables, self-medication and the first health service sought had a statistically significant association with the time for seeking care (p = 0.020, and p = 0.033, respectively). Conclusion: Self-medication contributes to the delay in the search for primary health care by tuberculosis patients.

Background: Advice from health care professionals (HCPs) is critical for tobacco prevention and cessation efforts. The academic curricula for health care professional students (HCS) lack comprehensive training in assisting patients in tobacco cessation. Tobacco use among HCP’s deters them from giving proper tobacco prevention and cessation guidance. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and determinants of tobacco consumption in third-year students of four health care disciplines (medical, dental, pharmacy, and nursing) and to assess their undergraduate education on tobacco control and cessation. Methods:  A web-based survey (response rate 84.4%) employing the Global Health Professions Student Survey (GHPSS) questionnaire; n= 838; [20.89 (SD± 0.94) years] was conducted in Mysore, India. A descriptive, comparative and multivariate analysis was performed. Results: The number of students who received formal training in smoking cessation approaches was only 14.04%. In total, two-thirds of medical students, compared to 38.9% of dental, 29.7% of pharmacy, and 11.40 % of nursing students, learned “the reasons why people smoke” as a part of their formal training. However, only less than a quarter of the study population were aware of the role of antidepressants in nicotine cessation medications. The total prevalence of tobacco use was 28.9%. A total of 37.72% wanted to quit smoking, while a mere 1.2% had sought any professional help to do so. Conclusions: Tobacco use in HCS, apart from personal health risks to themselves, may potentially affect their future commitment to support patients in tobacco cessation. There is a need for further research into tobacco prevention and cessation programs tailored to the needs of student groups. There is a need for an updated curriculum for tobacco cessation strategies and more research into better cessation strategies.

Background: Health literacy and use of preventative care are important aspects of health care. Health literacy, or the ability to understand basic medical knowledge, affects a person’s understanding and use of preventative health care. Aim: This study was designed to investigate the perception of health literacy and use of preventative care resources by female undergraduate college students. Method: This is a quantitative, non-experimental descriptive research study with a cross-sectional design. A 30-item demographic yes or no and a Likert-type scale was used to survey 62 female college students living in a dormitory. The goal was to discover if additional education is needed to obtain optimal utilization of health care resources for this population. Result: Surveying the undergraduate nursing and non-nursing students helped raise awareness of health literacy of the female students. Conclusion: Understanding the use of preventative care resources by this population may influence the way nursing interventions are formulated.
