Background: Incessant rains in the Kolhapur region has led to disastrous flood situations in the past. Disaster preparedness is therefore necessitated to counter the loss suffered by the residents and is closely linked to knowledge improvement. Self-instruction Module (SIM) has been extensively used as a learning tool in healthcare and has proven its effectiveness in knowledge improvement. Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of SIM on disaster preparedness among the residents of the flood prone areas of Karveer taluka, Kolhapur and to determine the association between the knowledge scores and the socio-demographic variables. Methods: Consenting participants from Karveer taluka were recruited to evaluate the efficiency of SIM through a structured knowledge tool using pre-test-post-test design. Both—SIM and knowledge tool, were sent for expert evaluation. Data were collected during specific periods between January and February 2019. Improvement in knowledge score was determined through qualitative and evaluative approach. Results: Significant improvement in knowledge scores was observed between pre-and post-test scores (P<0.001) of 100 consenting participants. Association was lacking between the knowledge scores and the socio-demographic variables. Conclusion: SIM developed in the study was effective in improving knowledge score, across all age groups, and could be used to improve the disaster preparedness of the residents of flood-prone areas.

The aim was to enhance the knowledge regarding GFATM. The objective were to assess the knowledge among the GNM students regarding GFATM, the second objective is to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding GFATM among the GNM students and the third objective is to determine the association between posttest knowledge score with their selected socio demographic variables. The sample consists of 50 students. The pretest assessment of knowledge of the students was carried out using structured knowledge questionnaires followed by STP session regarding GFATM. After 7 days the post test was conducted using the same structured knowledge questionnaires. The collected data was analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. Reveals that in pretest 36 students had knowledge regarding GFATM where as in posttest majority students’ knowledge enhance with score 48(96%). There is significant difference between posttest knowledge score among students with selected demographic variables that are age, residential area. There is no significant difference in the knowledge score among students of selected demographic variables like in religion, age, education stream, area of living. Key words: - Structured teaching programme (STP), global fund to fight against AIDS, TB, Malaria (GFATM).

Hypertension (HTN) is an enormous health problem and is one of the biggest health challenges in the 21st century. Effective management in hypertension requires a multi-sectorial approach. Dietary management plays a vital role in managing blood pressure especially beetroot juice which contains nitrates helps in vasodilation thus reducing hypertension. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of information booklet on knowledge regarding hypertension and supplementation of beetroot juice among hypertensive patients and To find the association between mean pre-test knowledge score about hypertension and supplementation of beet root juice with the selected demographic variables. A pre-experimental one group, pre-test post-test design was used for the study. Purposive sampling technique was used to select 30 hypertensive patients. The investigator assessed the knowledge regarding HTN and supplementation of beetroot juice in managing hypertension using structured knowledge questionnaire and then the information booklet was administered to the subjects. The collected data was analysed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. The mean post-test knowledge score (x2=23.87) was higher than the mean pre-test knowledge score (x1=17.40). The mean difference between post-test and pre-test knowledge score was highly significant. The obtained ‘t’ value (11.75) is higher than the table value (t29=1.70 at p<0.05 level significance). There was no significant association between knowledge score and selected demographic variables like age, gender, religion, education, occupation, income, and duration of illness. (2=2.143, 2=0.536, 2=0.000, 2=0.536, 2=2.143, 2=0.133, 2=0.536).

Abstract Introduction: Early initiation of breast feeding has long been recognized as one of the most important contributor to mothers' as well as infants' health. Breast feeding should be initiated within half an hour and two hour of birth in normal vaginal delivery and caesarean section respectively. A recent systematic review regarding the timing of breast feeding initiation shows that if newborns are exposed to breast feeding at the early stage, they are much more likely to adhere to breast feeding and ultimately have better outcome in terms of less incidence of breast engorgement. Objectives: The objectives of the study were to identify the early initiation of breast feeding by post caesarean mothers using observational check list, to train the staff nurses regarding the EBP guideline to prevent and treat breast engorgement among post caesarean mothers, to find the difference between pre test knowledge score and post test knowledge score among staff nurses on prevention and treatment of breast engorgement using structured knowledge questionnaire, to assess the effectiveness of EBP guideline to prevent and treat breast engorgement among post caesarean mothers in terms of reduction in the severity of breast engorgement before and after the implementation of EBP guideline using modified six point engorgement scale. Methods: In this study, one group pre test post test design was chosen. The study was conducted at KMC Hospital Attawar, Mangalore. The population in this study comprised of prime post cesarean mothers and staff nurses who are available at the period of data collection at KMC Hospital, Attawar, Mangalore. The calculated sample size for post caesarean mothers is 50 ad staff nurses are 20. The following tools were used to collect the data from the study samples. 1) Baseline characteristics - post caesarean mothers and staff nurses 2) Structured knowledge questionnaire on prevention and treatment of breast engorgement 3) Observational checklist to identify early initiation of breast feeding 4) Modified six point engorgement scale to assess the severity of breast engorgement. The data were collected and analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics by SPSS package version 16. Results: The study results shows, Out of the 50 mothers, 26 (52%) of the mothers had previous information regarding breast engorgement. 14 (53%) of the mothers had received information from family members/ relatives and friends meanwhile 8 (31%) had mass media as a source of information and 4 (16%) had information from their health professionals. Most of the post caesarean mothers were practicing early initiation of breast feeding. Regarding the total practice score for the early initiation of breast feeding it was 6.38 ± 0.696 and it ranged from 5 to 7 with a median 6. Conclusion: The study has revealed that, most of the post caesarean mothers were practicing the early initiation breast feeding practices.
