Objective: The study described the routine hand hygiene of nurses and midwives at Tra Vinh Hospital of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Pediatrics in the year 2020 and some associated factors. Method: This was a cross sectional study. Totally, there were 360 chances of hand hygiene to be observed using a checklist. Data was analyzied by SPSS software version 20.0. Chi square test and odd ratios were applied with significant level at 0.05. Results: The prevalence of routine hand hygiene compliance was 33.3% by chances of hand hygiene, and was 30.3% by nurses and midwives. The highest prevalence of compliance was “After contact with patients” (55.5%) and the lowest prevalence was “After contact with blood and fluids”. Some factors associated with the compliance of routine hand hygiene among nurses and midwives were the availability of hand rubs, facilities supporting hand hygiene compliance, workload, rewards and punishments for the compliance of routine hand hygiene. Conclusion: There is a need to retrain routine hand hygiene for nurses and midwives. Supervision of the compliance of routine hand hygiene needs to be conducted, especially for Departments of Obstetrics, Department of Pediatrics, and Department of Surgical Obstetrics.

Comprehensive care towards geriatric health can be sustained by having good knowledge and attitude among the providers. Hence, this research aims to measure the knowledge and attitude of the final year medical students towards geriatric health and determine the associated factors. A cross-sectional study was conducted among the students using structured questionnaires of Geriatric-Attitude-Scale and Palmore-Facts-on-Aging-Quiz was used. Data was analysed using Mann Whitney U test, Chi square test and Spearman correlation coefficient analysis for the association between the score and studied variables. Median score of students’ knowledges is at 14.00 (IQR 13.00) and mean score for attitude is 48.52 (+5.53) respectively. Place of residence (P= 0.01) and presence of grandparents (P= 0.04) were the significant factors that affected knowledge of students towards geriatrics while number of siblings (P= 0.05) influenced attitudes of students towards geriatrics. Improvement of current geriatric curriculum should be done with more refined implementation of gerontology course in the basic medical learning.

Global Health Problem

Background: Anaemia is a global health problem. Anaemia is one of most commonly recognized disorders. In view of ever increasing burden of anaemia in India and its detrimental effects on academic performance of students, it is necessary to find out the association of anaemia with BMI of medical and para medical students. This study was undertaken to find out association of anaemia with BMI among medical and para medical students of Rohilkhand Medical College, Bareilly.Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted in 344 medical and para medical students of Rohilkhand Medical College and Hospital, Bareilly. A structured schedule was used to collect the information regarding anaemia and BMI. Data was analyzed using SPSS software. Chi square test was applied.Results: Over all prevalence of anaemia was 29.07% prevalence was higher among female students (41.92%), among those aged between 25-26 years (75.00%) and among Muslims (40.54%), prevalence of anaemia among normal weight (31.92%) followed by underweight (27.02%) than in preobese (25.86%) while least among obese (20.83%).Conclusions: Anaemia is prevalent even in medical and para medical students who are well educated and well oriented about nutrition and its ill effect on health.

And Gender

This survey was taken up to analyze the association between food habits and sleep with obesity. The survey involved 200 healthy participants of both genders.  A cross sectional study was planned among the saveetha university students. Generalised questionnaires which assess the food habits of the participants was designed to find how it relates with obesity and PITTSBURGH sleep quality index (PSQI) was used to assess sleep habits of the subject during the past one month. The responses of the questions were tabulated and the correlation of food habits and sleep with the tendency of obesity and gender-related analysis was done using SPSS software version 22 and the statistical test used was chi-square test and the significance value was fixed at p < 0.05. The results revealed that about 49% of people have trouble sleeping. 51% of people less than once a week face trouble. 53 % of people use the bathroom in the middle of sleep. 56% of people drink soft drinks two times per day. There were also significant changes among genders in the intake of junk food intake, appetite and sleep rating. Thus the study concluded that food habits with the intake of junk food and sleep deprivation with gender correlation predispose to obesity.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to estimate the prevalence of stunting and thinness and sociodemographic, household, family, dietary, and scholar associated factors in schoolchildren living in Lokossa-Benin. Methods: a survey conducted in a probabilistic sample (n=615) of primary schoolchildren (8-17 years), from 12/2018 to 01/2019, using structured questionnaire and 24-hour dietary recall. Thinness and stunting were defined as Height-for-age and Body Mass Index-for-age below-2 standard deviations, respectively. Associations were estimated by chi-square test and logistic regression. Results: thinness and stunting prevalence was 13.1% (95%CI:9.0-18.7) and 25.5% (95%CI:20.6-31.2), respectively. Odds of thinness were higher among older schoolchildren and those who experienced hunger at school. Odds of stunting increased with age, low diet diversity, experiencing hunger at school, and having school meal five days a week (OR:2.09; 95%CI:1.29-3.36). Conclusions: stunting was the most common problem. Older schoolchildren and those with food deprivation or poor diet diversity were the most affected.

Dentinal Hypersensitivity

Tooth wear is a universal consequence of aging. It is an irreversible, multifactorial and destructive loss of dental hard tissues caused by either a mechanical or chemical process in the absence of caries or trauma. It can be a physiological and age dependent process. The risk factors that contribute to tooth wear are diet, bruxism, environment, occupation, oral health behaviour, acid regurgitation and use of tobacco. This study was done to find out if there is an association between tooth wear and its associated factors. So that we can educate the patients about the various factors causing tooth wear and minimise it. This cross sectional study was done amongst 339 patients. The clinical assessment of tooth wear was done using tooth wear index developed by Smith & Knight. A specifically designed questionnaire was used to seek information on risk factors of tooth wear. All patients were categorised into one of the following groups: Low Tooth Wear group, Moderate Tooth Wear group, Severe Tooth Wear group based on their individual tooth wear surface scores. Data were analyzed using Pearson’s chi-square test and descriptive statistics were calculated. We can see that the severity of tooth wear increases with age i.e, p≤0.05 which is statistically significant. Patients with self reported tooth sensitivity (60.5%) had a higher total tooth wear score than those who didn’t (39.5%) and the result was statistically significant. The results of our study show that tooth wear is a consequence of aging and there is an association between tooth wear and dentinal hypersensitivity.
