Wound assessment is obligatory to plan and complete administration regimens and to assess care. As indicated by diabetes imperative distributed by the international diabetes federation (IDF), there were an expected 40 million people with diabetes in India in 2007 and number is anticipated to ascend to just about 70 million individuals by 2025. Negative pressure wound treatment (NPWT) is an innovation that is as of now utilized broadly in wound consideration and is advanced for use on complex injuries (open injuries) NPWT includes the utilization of an injury dressing through which a contrary weight is applied, regularly with any twisted and tissue liquid drawn away from the territory being gathered into a canister.  The present study aims to assess the knowledge impact of negative pressure wound therapy on diabetes wound among staff nurses. The one group pre and post-test design were conducted among 50 staff nurses. Purposive sampling techniques were used to select samples. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect demographic data and knowledge on negative pressure wound therapy was assessed. The video was shown to the staff nurses after pre-test. The present study also shows that the demographic variables sex, professional qualification and wound care experience shows significant association with the post-test level of knowledge among staff nurse at p<0.0001 level and the demographic variables has shown statistically significant association with the post-test level of knowledge among staff nurse. This study concludes that video-assisted teaching program was significantly effectiveness in increasing the knowledge regarding negative pressure wound therapy.

Background:Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) is the care given to new born immediately after the birth in which SSC is provided to boost growth in LBW along with other benefits. KMC is a novel method of care of infants under 2000 grams of birth weight. KMC has been developed for fostering neurobehavioral development and supporting parent-infant intimacy and attachment. The current study aims at assessing the efficacy of SlM about KMC amid registered nurses. Objective:To assess existing knowledge about KMC, to develop, validate and administer SIM on KMC, to find efficacy of SIM on knowledge of registered nurses about KMC and to associate the knowledge score of staff nurse about KMC and their selected demographic variables. Methods: This study was conducted in Jaipur, Rajasthan. Five hundred staff nurses from hospital were enrolled through simple random sampling. A pre-test done to assess pre-interventional knowledge. Followed by SIM introduction to subjects. After 7 days, post-test was conducted. Result: Results showed that about two-third (77.2%) of the total sample were within age group 21 to 30 years. 86.8% of staff nurses had major source of knowledge related to KMC through academic. The result showed mean knowledge score in pre-test was 23.60 and in post-test was 49.16 among staff nurse. It showed the all the nurses had achieved good level of knowledge after implementation of SIM. The findings (Z=40.78) showed that calculated value (40.78) was more than tabulated value (1.96) at 0.001% significance. Hence, it indicated significant difference and efficacy of SIM on knowledge gained by the staff nurses. The level of knowledge of post-test among staff nurses was higher than pretest. Conclusion: The SIM facilitated them to update their knowledge related to KMC. Hence, more awareness and training programmes should be conducted so that this method can be implemented throughout the country.

Background of the study Induction of labour is the stimulation of uterine contraction priority to the onset of spontaneous labour. It is an obstetrics intervention that should be used when elective birth will be beneficial to mother and baby. It means initiation of uterine contractions by any method (medical, surgical or combined) for the purpose of vaginal delivery.ObjectivesTo assess the existing knowledge of staff nurses regarding maternal and neonatal outcome of induction of labour.To evaluate the effectiveness of self instructional module regarding maternal & neonatal outcome of induction of labour among staff nurses.To associate pre-test knowledge of staff nurses regarding maternal and neonatal outcome of induction of labour with their selected demographic variables.Methods A Pre experimental design (one group pre and post test design) was conducted at ESI Hospital, Bangalore, 60 samples, non-probability convenient sampling technique, structured questionnaire were developed and validated by experts; the reliability that is test retest method was used, administered self instructional module and conducted post test. The Collected data were analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics.Major findings of the studyMajority of staff nurses attained were 31-35 years age (37%) had GNM education (83%). About 39% of subjects had above 6 years experiences. SIM is effective in improving staff nurses knowledge regarding maternal and neonatal outcome of induction of labour. (P< 0.05). A significant association was found between knowledge of staff nurses with demographic variables such as age, religion, marital status, educational qualification, total years experiences, monthly income, and previous sources of information.Interpretation and conclusion The findings revealed that the improvement Mean score of all level of knowledge of staff nurses between pre test and post test was 13.75% with ‘t’ test value was 12.88, which was highly significant at p< 0.05. Hence, it is inferred that there is significant increase in the knowledge level of the staff nurses regarding maternal and neonatal outcome of induction of labour after used of Self Instructional Module.

Objectives The aim of this study was to retrospectively review the effectiveness of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) in sternal wound healing with the use of the validated Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Tool (BWAT), and explore the role of NPWT over sternal wounds and future treatment pathways. Methods Data was gathered from patients' medical records and the institution's database clinical management system. Seventeen subjects, who had undergone cardiothoracic surgeries and subsequently consulted the wound care team in one year were reviewed. Fourteen of them were included in the analysis. Healing improvement of each sternal wound under continuous NPWT and continuous conventional dressings was studied. In total, 23 continuous NPWT and 13 conventional dressing episodes were analysed with the BWAT. Results Among conventional dressing episodes, sternal wound improvement was 2.5–3% over 10 days to 3.5 weeks, whereas 4–5% sternal healing was achieved in 5 days to 2 weeks with sternal wire presence. Better healing at 11% in 1 week by conventional dressing was attained after sternal wire removal. In NPWT episodes, 8–29%, 13–24%, and 15–46% of healing was observed in 2 weeks, 3.5 to 5 weeks and 6 to 7 weeks, respectively. Only 39% wound healing was acquired at the 13th week of NPWT in one subject. With sternal wire present, 6%–29% wound healing progress was achieved by NPWT in 1–4 weeks, and 16–23% wound improvement in 2 to 4.5 weeks by NWPT after further surgical debridement. After sternal wire removal, 6–34% sternal wound healing occurred by continuous NPWT for 1–2 weeks, and maximum healing at 46% after 2.5 weeks of NPWT were observed. Conclusions Better wound healing was achieved in the NPWT group in comparison to conventional dressings alone. However, suboptimal sternal wound healing by NPWT alone was observed. Removal of sternal wire may improve the effectiveness of NPWT. Successful tertiary closure after NPWT among subjects supports the important bridging role of NPWT in sternal wound healing. Factors causing stagnant sternal wound healing by NPWT alone are discussed.
