Osteoporosis, which means “porous bone”, is a disease in which the bones gradually become weak and brittle. Osteoporosis is often known as the silent thief because bone losses occur without symptoms and progressive loss and thinning of bone tissue happens over many years. The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of Structured Teaching Programme on knowledge regarding prevention of Osteoporosis among premenopausal women (35-50 years) attending OPDs in a selected hospital, Raipur. Objectives To assess the pretest level of knowledge regarding prevention of osteoporosis among premenopausal women in experimental group and control group. To determine the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on prevention of osteoporosis in experimental group. To find out the association between knowledge regarding prevention of osteoporosis and selected demographics variables of the premenopausal women. Review of literature was prepared relevant to the study. The conceptual framework of the study was based on “Kenny’s open system model. Pilot study was done among patients in general medicine OPD in a selected hospital, Raipur. The main study was conducted in Orthopedics and Obstetrics & Gynecology OPDs in a selected hospital, Raipur. A total of 90 patients included in the study and they were selected using convenient sampling. The instrument used for data collection was structured knowledge questionnaire. Validity and reliability of the tool was done. Data was collected for the period of 4 weeks. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data. It was observed in present study that majority (70%) of the total sample in experimental and control group had inadequate level of knowledge regarding prevention of Osteoporosis.

Introduction: Children are the most valuable resource, and childhood is the world of a miracle. Every child in a lifetime may face many illnesses and hospitalisation. Pain is a common problem faced by a hospitalised child. Venepuncture is an invasive procedure followed in the hospital, which may produce pain, fear, anxiety, and discomfort in children. The animation distraction is one of the cost-effective non-pharmacological methods which may distract the child during any procedure and reduce the pain stimuli. Aim: To find the effect of animation distraction on pain response during venepuncture. Materials and Methods: An evaluative research approach with a quasi-experimental (post-test only control group) design was adopted in the study. The sample comprised of 40 children (20 each in the control and experimental group) aged 4-12 years undergoing venepuncture was selected by using a non-probability purposive sampling technique. A small 5-20 minutes of animated videos based on the children’s age and choice were displayed to the experimental group during the venepuncture procedure. Wong–Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale was used to assess the pain response after venepuncture in both the control and experimental group. Results: The data was collected, recorded systematically, and analysed with descriptive and inferential statistics. The experimental group’s mean post-test pain score (3.4±1.68) was lower than the control group (8.2±1.53) with p<0.001. Three-fourths of the control group (75%) had severe pain, whereas in the experimental group, none of the samples experienced severe pain, and 55% of the samples had moderate pain. Notably, 5% of the samples from the experimental group reported no pain during venepuncture. The calculated t-value t(38)=9.79 is greater than the table value t(38)=2.02 at 0.05 level of significance. Conclusion: The animation distraction was highly effective in reducing the pain response in children during venepuncture.

INTRODUCTION: The word ‘’Adolescent’’ is derived from the Latin word ‘adolescere’ which means to grow to maturity that indicate the defining features of adolescence. During puberty the physical changes occur which transform the body of child into that of an adult, changes in body size, and changes in body proportions. Adolescent period is the formative period when maximum amounts of changes take place and pubertal change is one of them. The main pubertal change that occurs in girls is menstruation. This is an important landmark in the process of growth and maturation and prepares them for motherhood. Yesterday’s girl is today’s adolescent and tomorrow’s mother. (1) AIM OF THE STUDY: Assess knowledge regarding menstruation and menstrual hygiene among adolescent girls MATERIAL AND METHOD: A Quasi-experimental one group pre-test post-test study was used in order to evaluate effectiveness of structured teaching programme (the Independent variable) on knowledge regarding menstruation and menstrual hygiene (the dependent variable) among adolescent girls of selected by purposive sampling technique school of Jodhpur. Each participant was informed about the study and that they could withdraw at any time and a written consent was also obtained. RESULT: The findings of the study reveals that in pre-test majority (54.17%) in the experimental group and 91.67% in the control group were having below average knowledge and 45.83% in the experimental group and 8.33% in the control group were having above average knowledge. However the majority of the demographic variable such as age, religion, age of menarche, type of family, educational status, educational status of mother, and sources of information were found not significant association with the level of knowledge regarding menstruation and menstrual hygiene among adolescent’s girls except place of residence, monthly family income.
