Background: Self-esteem is vital to living a happy, confident and content life. Medical students experience various forms of stress due to academic, financial and social pressures which could affect their levels of self-esteem. This study aims to study the status of self-esteem among undergraduates of a medical college at Tribhuvan University, Nepal. Methods: After receiving the ethical approval from the Institutional Review Committee (IRC) of NAIHS; we conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study among the first- to fifth-year medical students from December 2020 to April 2021. 190 were selected for the study using a stratified random sampling technique. This study used the Rosenberg self-esteem scale to measure self–esteem of the participants. A Google Forms questionnaire was sent to the participants via email. Then, the data obtained were entered in the Google sheet and later analyzed using SPSS 27. A Chi-square test was used to identify potential differences in self-esteem scores among different variables. A p-value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.  Results: This study included a total of 180 participants, among which, 18.9% (13.19% to 24.61%; at 95% CI) students showed low self -esteem. 74.4% (68.02% to 80.78%; at 95% CI) students had normal self-esteem and 6.7% (3.05% to 10.35%; at 95% CI) students had high self-esteem. The mean self-esteem score was 19.19 (15.01 to 23.37; at 95% CI). Female participants suffered more than males from low self-esteem, and third-year students had the highest percentage of low self-esteem (30.77%). Conclusion: The majority (74.4%) of medical students had normal self-esteem. However, 18.9% students had low self-esteem, among which, third-year students suffered the most (30.77%). Likewise, females exhibited higher prevalence of low self-esteem compared to males. Interventions to boost the level of self-esteem should be carried out to help medical students become confident and efficient doctors.

Introduction: Maxillary anterior spacing or midline diastema is the most frequently seen aesthetic concern among children, which can be quite challenging for the clinician to manage. There can be a significant disparity in the aesthetic perception from person to person and is greatly influenced by their personal experience and social environment. Aim: This study investigated the aesthetic perceptions of Saudi mothers to various Maxillary Midline Diastemas (MMDs) in mixed dentition. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study using structured questionnaire was employed for Saudi mothers chosen by stratified-cluster random sampling technique over a period of eight months (November 2016 to June 2017). The questionnaire assessed their perception about various MMDs using photographs and the source of information about MMDs. Data were statistical analysed (SPSS version 20) using the Chi-square test, with the level of significance set at p-value <0.05. Results: The sample consisted of 300 Saudi mothers with a response rate of 86.2%. The maximum mean score was 4.80±0.20 for the MMD photograph showing central incisor tooth discrepancy which the mothers perceived to be the most unpleasant (81%). The very unpleasant perception from the mothers’ perception for group D and B showing ugly duckling stage was (55%) and thumb sucking habit (33%), respectively. The MMD photograph showing high frenum attachment was perceived by 51% of the mothers to be unpleasant and 7% as very unpleasant. Moreover, on comparison it showed the least mean score of 3.65±0.41. Conclusion: The perception of Saudi mothers to various types of MMDs was found to be aesthetically unpleasant. Early detection of the MMDs by the Saudi mothers and intervention by the dental specialist can reduce the progression of the prevailing condition to a severe malocclusion.

BACKGROUND Occupational conditions are deadly health hazards especially where dust exposure is inevitable causing chronic disabilities, impaired respiratory function and ultimately leading to death if no intensive measures are put in place. Unhealthy practices and negative attitudes rise in the number of cases of pneumoconiosis due to poor health education and awareness strategies. Pneumoconiosis is not only a health problem but also a social and economic burden on the livelihood of people living in mining areas around the globe. OBJECTIVE to assess knowledge, attitude and practices of miners and post-occupational miners towards pneumoconiosis in Wusakile Township, Kitwe, Zambia. METHODS A cross-sectional study was employed to conduct a research in Wusakile Township and a questionnaire was customized in order to syphon data relevant to the study as well to be brief. The study was conducted among 73 participants who were randomly selected among miners and post-occupational miners and all satisfied the inclusion criteria. Both quantitative and qualitative methods were used to collect data. The data was entered and analysed using IBM SPSS software version 23. RESULTS Among 73 participants interviewed, 33.99% of participants had poor knowledge on the complications of pneumoconiosis. However, despite this poor knowledge, all participants had an idea about pneumoconiosis particularly silicosis. 13.70% of the respondents had bad practices towards pneumoconiosis while 86.30% had some good practices towards pneumoconiosis. Of the total participants, 19.18% of the participants had a negative attitude towards pneumoconiosis. Correlation between the level of education and practices of participants using Pearson Chi-Square, a p value of 0.021 (significant) was found ruling out the null hypothesis. CONCLUSIONS Information about pneumoconiosis and awareness programs towards pneumoconiosis are not widely disseminated among miners and post-occupational miners. There is still a significant number of participants who need to be educated more about pneumoconiosis and its complications so that attitude and practices are improved and also promote full community participation by involving competent health professionals to help in implementing preventive measures.
