ABSTRACT Pregnancy and childbirth are the important events of a women's life. The place of delivery plays an important role in child survival and safe motherhood. The child born in unhygienic condition is more to get infection. A properly assisted delivery with skilled personnel and following aseptic precaution is highly advantageous to both mother and fetus during delivery. The objectives of the study were to assess the knowledge and practices regarding maintenance of asepsis in labor room among ANM students as measured by structured questionnaire and observation checklist, to evaluate effectiveness of a video-assisted demonstration on knowledge and practice regarding maintenance of asepsis in labor room among auxiliary nursing midwifery (ANM) students, to find out an association between pretest knowledge and practice scores with selected demographic variables. The study was conducted using randomized control trial. Demographic variables analyzed for the study were age, religion, monthly family income and residence. The study was conducted on sample of 60 selected final year ANM students of KLEU's Institute of Nursing Sciences, Belgaum, and BIMS ANM Training Centre, Belgaum, using simple random sampling technique. Data collection were through structured knowledge questionnaire and observation checklist. Data obtained were tabulated and analyzed in terms of objectives of the study using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study findings showed that there is increase in post-test knowledge and practice regarding maintenance of asepsis in labor room after administration of video demonstration program compare to pretest.

Background: "Electronic wastes" are discarded electrical or electronic devices which includes used electronics which are destined for reuse, resale, salvage, recycling, or disposal [1] Per year approximately 20-50 million tons of Electronic Waste are disposed of globally [2]. The effects of these electronic materials are far worse in counties liked India where most of the people are having poor economic status that leads to engagement in picking up and recycling of trash cans and other dumps and they are not equipped with any proper protective measures [3]. Electronic waste is emerging as a serious public health and environmental issue in India. India is the "fifth largest electronic waste producer in the world"; approximately 2 million tons of e-waste are generated annually and an undisclosed amount of e-waste is imported from other countries around the world [4] Objectives: 1. To assess the awareness on ill effect of electronic waste among general population of selected urban community. 2. To associate the awareness on ill effect of electronic waste on health among selected urban community with a selected demographic variable. Material and Methods: Research Approach: Quantitative Research Approach. Research Design: Descriptive Research Design. Setting of the study: The study was conducted at Aarvi Naka, Wardha. Population- General population of Aarvi Naka. Sampling Technique: Non-Probability Sampling Technique. Sample Size- 100. Result: The result shows that 18% of the general population had poor level of awareness score, 38% had low level of awareness, 30% had average level of awareness and 14% of general population had high level of awareness score. Mean awareness score was 9.51±3.98 and mean percentage of awareness score was 47.55 ± 19.94. While dealing with the association of awareness score with their demographic variables, age in years of general population from selected urban community is statistically associated with their awareness score (p=0.05). Conclusion: In this study the findings of the study shows that there is no significant association of awareness level on ill effect of electronic waste on health with the demographic variables like gender, educational status, religion, occupation, monthly family income, marital status and home ownership; but there is a significant relationship with age of the corresponding samples.

Nurses advocate for health promotion, educate patients and the public on the prevention of illness and injury, provide care and assist in cure, participate in rehabilitation, and provide support. No other health care professional has such a broad and far-reaching role. Aim: The study was aimed to assess the level of knowledge and practice regarding renewal of license among staff nurses. Methodology: Non-experimental descriptive research design and non-probability convenient sampling technique was used to select 50 staff nurses. The assessment of the level of knowledge and practice among staff nurses was carried out by self-structured questionnaire and practice checklist. Result: Assessment of level of knowledge as well as practice regarding renewal of nursing license revealed that 9 (18%) of staff nurses had good knowledge, 39 (78%) moderate knowledge and 2(4%) poor knowledge, whereas 17 (34%) good practice, 32 (64%) poor practice and 1 (2%) didn’t perform renewal of license. It was concluded knowledge regarding nursing license has a significant association with checking of license status at p<0.05 level.On other hand, practice regarding nursing license had no significant association with demographic variables at p<0.05 level. Conclusion: It is inevitable to gain nursing license and do its renewal, as it will monitor minimum competencies and provides assurance to the public that predetermined standards have been met.

This study was conducted in Dhaka Shishu Hospital during theperiod of December 2007 to February 2008 and was based on primary data collected on socioeconomicstatus, knowledge and practice of mothers of neonates attending the hospital. A total of 400 motherswere interviewed. More than fifty percent mothers had an appropriate knowledge on feeding neonates,hand washing before handling neonates, care of eye, care of umbilicus and they were practicing aswell. Where as less than fifty percent mothers had appropriate knowledge on keeping neonateswarm, cutting hair, bathing, vaccination, oil massage and their practice rate also commensuratewell with their knowledge level. Majority of the mothers were in the age group of 21-25 years,having completed primary education or passed SSC exam. They were house wives living in an urbanarea, with a monthly family income of 3000-7000 taka.

Background: Blood transfusion is the transfusing of a compatible donor’s whole blood or any of its components to the recipient to correct/ treat any related clinical condition. The transfusion of blood products is essential for restoring the body’s oxygen transport capacity, or replenishing lost or depleted blood components in various medical conditions. Objectives: To assess knowledge and practice score regarding blood transfusion among staff nurses and to identify the association of knowledge score and practice score with selected demographic variables. Methodology: A descriptive research design that involved convenience sampling technique to collect data from the 60 staff nurses working at Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences, Kashmir, using a “self-structured knowledge questionnaire and practice checklist”. Results: The study revealed that most of the staff nurses, i.e. 53.3%, had fair knowledge, 41.7% had poor knowledge, and only 5% of staff nurses had good knowledge regarding blood transfusion. The mean ± SD knowledge score of the staff nurses was 23.516 ± 4.59. Most of the staff nurses, i.e. 66.7%, had satisfactory practice, and 33.3% had unsatisfactory practice. The mean ± SD practice score of staff nurses regarding blood transfusion was 49.26 ± 6.40. A statistically significant association was found between nurses’ knowledge and demographic variables viz., age, professional qualification, clinical experience, the approximate number of blood transfusions performed in past 6 months, and in-service training programme attended regarding blood transfusion, and practice with demographic variables, viz., gender and clinical experience at p ≤ 0.05. Conclusion: The study concluded that deficiency of knowledge among nurses regarding blood transfusion threatens patients’ safety, and may also put patients in life-threatening conditions.
