Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the commonest forms of joint disease, and the knee is one of the most commonly affected joints. OA is clinically associated with pain, joint stiffness, joint deformity and swelling. Kinesiophobia is a condition in which a patient has an excessive, irritational, and debilitating fear of physical movement and activity resulting from a feeling of vulnerability to painful injury or reinjury. This study addresses the influence of biological (eg: X-ray changes) as well as severity of pain, kinesiophobia in individual physical functioning. The purpose of the study aims to know the prevalence of kinesiophobia in patients with OA knee. Methodology: A simple random sampling of 30 patients with diagnosed OA knee who visited Pravara Rural hospital (Loni) was included. The patients included were between the age group of 40 - 80 years and were screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. The data collection includes the application of scales (Tampa scale of Kinesiophobia-11) which includes 11 items, WOMAC (3 components), VAS to all the 30 subjects and was taken by the principal investigator. The total scores of each scale were analyzed mean and standard deviation were taken. Pearson correlation test was performed to know the correlation between each component. Result: Pearson correlation test was performed which showed a positive correlation between all the four variables i.e. stage of OA, VAS, TSK 11, WOMAC with r= 0.0312. Conclusion: The present study concluded that as there is progression in level or stage of OA there is increase in severity of pain which leads to further increase in level of kinesiophobia in individuals with OA of knee. This all components furthers leads to decrease in physical functioning in individuals with OA knee. KEY WORDS: Osteoarthritis, knee, Kinesiophobia, TSK11, WOMAC, VAS.

Introduction: Physical, social, mental, and psychological issues are common in the first few days after giving birth. According to some research, postpartum depression symptoms are linked to high cortisol levels. Postpartum psychological stress causes higher cortisol levels. Objective: The aim of this study was to look at postpartum mother's anxiety and cortisol levels. Methods: An Analytical Survey with a Cross-Sectional Approach is used in this analysis. With simple random sampling, there were 38 samples that met the inclusion criteria. Data was collected using the PSAS questionnaire for anxiety and an ELISA test for cortisol levels. Univariate and Pearson correlation test is used in the data analysis. Results: The majority of postpartum mothers reported mild anxiety in the first 24 hours after childbirth, with an average cortisol level of 10.034ng/ml 47.4%. The average level of the puerperal hormone cortisol in primiparous women was 14.60ng/ml higher than in multiparous women 7.42 ng/dl. Conclusion: With a p-value of 0.017, there was a substantial difference in cortisol levels between primiparous and multiparous postpartum mothers. With a p-value <0.001, there was a close connection between anxiety scores and cortisol levels. Future studies would need to focus on making it easier for postpartum mothers to feel less anxious.
