Background: Mechanical ventilation (MV) is one of the therapeutic pillars of intensive care medicine. Technique and practice in emergency airway management varies between ICUs and in different countries and as a result, complication rates may also differ. Unplanned extubation is a frequent event after endotracheal intubation for respiratory support in critically ill patients and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The incidence of unplanned extubation among intubated patients is reported to vary from 0.3% to 1.4%. Unplanned extubation account for approximately 10% of reintubations. An Unplanned Extubation is also associated with prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation, ICU stay and hospital stay. Objective: to assess the knowledge of clinical nurses regarding risk of unplanned extubation of patients with mechanical ventilation at Kempegowda institute of medical science and research Hospital, Bangalore, Karnataka. Materials and Methods: Quantitative research approach and a pre-experimental one group pre-test post-test research design were used to accomplish the stated objectives. The investigator selected a sample of 50 nurses who were working in KIMS hospital. The data were collected by using a self administered structured knowledge questionnaire. Planned teaching was given with appropriate A-V aid followed by pretest. Result: Inferential and descriptive statistical analysis was performed by using SPSS-IBM 20. Results were calculated by using p value < 0.05. The results revealed that, in pretest 80% of the nurses had inadequate knowledge where as in posttest 82% of the nurses had gained moderately adequate knowledge and the improvement was statistically significant at P<0.05. Conclusion: The study result shows that after intervention knowledge regarding risk of unplanned extubation among nurses were improved significantly. Keywords: Effectiveness planned teaching, risk of unplanned extubation, knowledge of staff nurses and mechanical ventilation protocol.

Background: In South Asia region, India is the biggest country manufacturing pesticides for agricultural production and ranks10th in world where farmers use pesticides in agricultural area. In India, farmers have less knowledge regarding pesticide application and very rarely they get opportunity to attend formal training program regarding handling of hazardous pesticides. In developing countries, farmers have unsafe pesticide application and handling practices due to which pesticide poisoning has a major health problems among famers. Indian farmers who practice unsafe use of pesticides also experience different health problems. Hence there is a necessity to find out knowledge and practices of farmers while handling dangerous pesticides in day to day life.Methods: A quantitative research approach and cross sectional survey design was used in present study. Total of 302 farmers residing in rural area of Doiwala block were selected by using purposive sampling technique. Ethical permission was obtained from institutional ethical committee and informed consent was taken from study participants. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics.Results: A total of 125 (41.5%) farmers were using pesticide two times in a year and 180(59.8%) farmers used it for protection of crops. It was expressed by 223 (73.8%) farmers that they read the labels on the pesticide containers before using it but only 182(60.3%) farmers followed the instructions on the label.Conclusions: Farmers did not have adequate knowledge about frequency and reasons of using pesticide in farming. Majority of the farmers did not have adequate knowledge and practices regarding use of pesticide in agricultural area.

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).

Nurses’ adequate knowledge and adherence to the implementation of patient identification can improve patient safety. This study used quantitative research with correlation research design. This study was conducted in the inpatient unit at a private hospital in western Indonesia with a total of 37 nurses. Data were collected using questionnaires developed and has been tested for validity and reliability. Observations were also carried out to directly observe the nurses’ behaviors in carrying out patient identification using checklist observation guide developed from the standard operational procedures of the hospital. Data were analyzed using both univariate and bivariate tests with Spearman Rank. The results of this study showed significant correlation between level of nurse’s knowledge and adherence in implementing patient identification correctly with patient identification implementation (p value = 0.049). Based on the observation of the nurses in the ward showed no significant correlation between level of knowledge and adherence and implementation of patient identification by nurses (p value = 0.159). The results of the observation of nurses was contrary to the study results collected from questionnaire that measure nurses’ adherence, thus further research is needed to identify factors that effect nurses’ adherence in implementing patient identification in in-patient unit.</p><p><strong>BAHASA INDONESIA </strong>Kesalahan melakukan identifikasi pasien dapat menimbulkan masalah dan ancaman keselamatan pada pasien.

Many school-based interventions for obesity prevention have been proposed with positive changes in behaviour. The objective was to assess the effectiveness of a NLEP on prevention obesity among adolescents. Schools were randomized to intervention and control group. Methods and materials: Quantitative research approach with true experimental research design was used to find out the knowledge on prevention of obesity among school adolescents. The study was conducted among 200 adolescents studying 8th, 9th, 10 th 11th and 12th in selected senior secondary schools, Jalandhar, Punjab. Probability stratified sampling technique was used to select samples. Structured questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge of adolescents regarding prevention of obesity. Major findings: The overall analysis shows that poor knowledge was found in both experimental group 58% and control group 68% before the implementation of NLEP. In the experimental group, knowledge scores had improved after the implementation of NLEP, i.e., excellent knowledge is 36%, good knowledge is 47% and average knowledge was 17%. Further, in the control group, It was observed that in post-test 5% had very poor knowledge, 68% had poor knowledge, 20% was average knowledge and only 7% had good knowledge. From the findings it can be interpreted that NLEP improved the level of knowledge in the experimental group significantly than the control group. Pre-test knowledge of adolescents regarding prevention of obesity shows that, out of 100 experimental samples (75%) children had inadequate knowledge, 35(23.6%) children had moderate adequate knowledge and 2(1.4%) children had adequate knowledge. Conclusion: The results shown that, the nurse led educational package on prevention of obesity was improved the knowledge regarding prevention of obesity among the school adolescents.
