Introduction: Leukaemia is a blood cancer which affect the bone marrow. The cells of leukaemia or abnormal cells continue to grow and divide, resulting in the normal blood cells being crowded out. Thus, planned teaching on leukaemia management among patients with leukaemia would improve their health and mold them into a healthy quality of life. Aim: To determine the effectiveness of planned teaching program on management of leukaemia among leukaemia patients. Materials and Methods: The interventional one group pre-test and post-test study design with a Quantitative research approach was used. The present study was carried out in selected hospitals of Nagpur from January 2017 to March 2017. The sample size was 60. Validated pre-tested pre-designed structured questionnaires were used. Data collected were entered into the Microsoft Excel sheet. The statistical analysis was done using SPSS software. Frequencies and percentages were presented for categorical variables. Reliability analysis was done by the Guttman split-half coefficient and was found to be 0.90. Results: The pre-test findings show that 23 (38.33%) had a poor level of knowledge score, 31 (51.67%) had average knowledge and 06 (10%) of them had good knowledge and no one of them had found a very good level of knowledge. After planned teaching in the post-test, 12 (20%) had a good knowledge score and 48 (80%) had very good knowledge, showing an increase in the knowledge score, post-test. The Mean score value of the pre-test was 07.57 and the post-test was 21.13 (p-value is 0.001), Hence it indicates that planned teaching was effective. There was a significant association between knowledge scores of leukaemia patients with respect to education of leukaemia patients (p-value 0.014 i.e. <0.05) and area of residence (p-value 0.047 i.e. <0.05). Conclusion: The study showed that the leukaemia management education was successful in improving the awareness about management of leukaemia and thus helps them to understand the nature and management of the disease as well as to take the required measures to avoid complications.

Foreign body aspiration remains a significant cause of death in children for anatomic as well as developmental reasons. Foreign body aspiration is a potentially life-threatening event because it can block respiration by obstructing the airway, there by impairing oxygenation and ventilation. Mothers, as a primary care giver must be aware of first aid management of foreign body aspiration and measures to prevent it. Hence, the study was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of video assisted teaching programme on knowledge regarding first aid management of foreign body aspiration among mothers of under-five children in selected anganwadis under Nadathara Gramapanchayath, Thrissur. The other objectives of the study were to find out the association between level of knowledge with selected demographic variables of mothers regarding first aid management of foreign body aspiration. Quasi experimental one group pre testpost test design was conducted among 30 mothers of underfive children. Samples were selected by using purposive sampling method from 2 anganwadis. Pre test was conducted using structured knowledge questionnaire. It was followed by video assisted teaching of first aid management of foreign body aspiration with appropriate AV aids by the investigator. Post test was done after 7 days and the analysis shows that there is a significant increase in knowledge score of mothers regarding first aid management of foreign body aspiration. Also, the study findings revealed that there is no association between knowledge score of mothers with their selected demographic variables. Thus, the study concluded that the video assisted teaching regarding first aid management of foreign body aspiration was effective in improving the knowledge of mothers.

Dental caries is a major public health problem globally and is one of the most chronic diseases in children. Children are susceptible to caries as soon as the first teeth appear. Parents are the primary decision-makers in matters of children's healthcare. If the parents are knowledgeable about the child's oral health care then childhood dental caries can be prevented. The objective of this study was to identify the knowledge on childhood dental caries among parents of under five children. A descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out among parents of under five children in a community of Biratnagar 12. Sample was selected using non probability purposive sampling method and data was collected by face-to-face interview using a self-developed, semi-structured interview guideline. Descriptive statistics i.e. frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation was used to assess the level of knowledge and inferential statistics i.e chi square was used to find the association between dependent and independent variables. About three fourths (71%) of the parents were of age group 20-30 years and 88% of them were mothers. Most of the parents (90%) were aware that dental caries can occur in under five children and excessive sugar intake was the most common cause as reported by all of them. Only 40% knew that dental caries is transmissible and among them 97.6% responded by sharing of toothbrush. Regarding good brushing habit, most of the parents were aware. Almost all (95%) knew that proper tooth brushing helps to prevent dental caries whereas only 19% were aware about use of fluoridated tooth paste as preventive measures. Meanwhile, only 12% of the parents were aware that first dental visit should be done when first tooth erupts or within 1 year of age More than half (79%) had good knowledge on childhood dental caries but there was no association of knowledge with socio-demographic variables. The study concluded that more than half of the respondents had good knowledge on childhood dental caries and none of the socio-demographic variables were associated with the level of knowledge of parents on dental caries. Despite good knowledge, prevalence of childhood dental caries is high in our society thus reflecting the need to assess the practice of dental care.

Abstract: Injury is still one of the problems that need special attention because high mortality rate caused by injuries is still quite high. According to report of World Health Organization (WHO), from 5.8 million deaths worldwide, more than 3 million deaths among them occurred in developing countries due to the incidence of injuries. By analyzing the characteristics of the development, toddlers are more at risk of injury than adults. Injury results in 42% of deaths in children aged 1-4 years in the United States. Knowledge about the risk of injury and the practice of its prevention as well as handling is needed to parents who have under-fives children, so they can provide appropriate action. The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between the level of knowledge and the practice of injury prevention in under-five children in Bangunjiwo Kasihan Bantul Yogyakarta. This study used a descriptive observational method with a cross sectional approach with a quantitative approach. The sampling technique applied the cluster random sampling method obtained by Anggrek Bulan Maternal Care at Kalangan Village. The numbers of samples were 90 under-five children. Bivariate statistical analysis employed Chi Square test. The results of the statistical test showed that there was a correlation between the level of knowledge and the practice of injury prevention in under-five children in Bangunjiwo Kasihan Bantul, Yogyakarta (p-value = 0.016). Thus, midwives need to improve health counseling for parents who have under-five children about the risk of injury to children, so parents have good knowledge regarding children's health, especially regarding the risk of injuries that can occur to children.
