Background: Coronary heart disease contributes much to the burden morbidity and mortality from chronic diseases globally and more than 80% of CVD-related deaths worldwide now occur in low and middle income countries. In India about 30 million adults suffer from cardiovascular disease. Objectives: To assess the knowledge of 3rd year G.N.M. students regarding coronary angiography and evaluate the effectiveness of informational booklet on knowledge regarding coronary angiography. Method: Pre-experimental research design was used for the study. Information booklet is dependent variable and knowledge of student nurses regarding coronary angiography is dependent variable. The setting of the study is at selected Schools of nursing at Vijayapur, Karnataka. Simple random sampling technique is used to select the subjects. The sample size is of 60 students. Result: In pre-test majority of subjects 30 (50%) had an average knowledge; 18 (30%) had poor knowledge and 12 (20%) had good knowledge, where as in post-test 51 (85%) of them had good knowledge and 09 (15%) had poor knowledge. Study also reveals that there is no association between pre-test knowledge and selected Socio demographic variables. Study also reveals that calculated paired‘t’ value (t= 26.48) is greater than tabulated value (t= 1.960). Hence H1 is accepted. This indicates that the gain in knowledge score is statistically significant at P< 0.05 levels. Conclusion: The findings of the study conclude that there is a need for educating the student nurses regarding coronary angiography. It implies that a nursing administrator should take part in developing protocols, standing orders related to design of the educational programmes and strategies for GNM Students regarding Coronary angiography.

Hypertension (HTN) is an enormous health problem and is one of the biggest health challenges in the 21st century. Effective management in hypertension requires a multi-sectorial approach. Dietary management plays a vital role in managing blood pressure especially beetroot juice which contains nitrates helps in vasodilation thus reducing hypertension. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of information booklet on knowledge regarding hypertension and supplementation of beetroot juice among hypertensive patients and To find the association between mean pre-test knowledge score about hypertension and supplementation of beet root juice with the selected demographic variables. A pre-experimental one group, pre-test post-test design was used for the study. Purposive sampling technique was used to select 30 hypertensive patients. The investigator assessed the knowledge regarding HTN and supplementation of beetroot juice in managing hypertension using structured knowledge questionnaire and then the information booklet was administered to the subjects. The collected data was analysed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. The mean post-test knowledge score (x2=23.87) was higher than the mean pre-test knowledge score (x1=17.40). The mean difference between post-test and pre-test knowledge score was highly significant. The obtained ‘t’ value (11.75) is higher than the table value (t29=1.70 at p<0.05 level significance). There was no significant association between knowledge score and selected demographic variables like age, gender, religion, education, occupation, income, and duration of illness. (2=2.143, 2=0.536, 2=0.000, 2=0.536, 2=2.143, 2=0.133, 2=0.536).

BACKGROUND The incidence rate for cancer reflects the number of new cases occurring in a specific population during a year, expressed as the number of cancer diagnosis per 10,000 people. Cancer is globally a major cause of death and morbidity and is currently witnessing an exponential increase in the number of malignancies. The present study was conducted to assess the knowledge regarding self-care among patients receiving chemotherapy, to evaluate the effectiveness of information booklet regarding selfcare among patients receiving chemotherapy and to find out the association between knowledge score regarding self-care among patients receiving chemotherapy in selected hospitals. METHODS An experimental study was undertaken on 60 purposively selected patients receiving chemotherapy in selected hospitals of Wardha and Nagpur district. One group pretest post-test research design was used in the study. Data was collected by using structured questionnaire during the month of December 2019. The duration of study was for 5 months from October 2019 to February 2020. RESULTS The findings of the study show that 33.33 % patients had average knowledge score, 61.67 % patients had good knowledge score and 5 % patients had very good knowledge score in pre-test. Minimum knowledge score was 8 in pre-test and maximum knowledge score was 23 in pre-test. Mean knowledge score in pre-test was 15.53 ± 2.98 and mean percentage of knowledge score in pre-test was 44.38 ± 8.52. 11.67 % of patients had good knowledge score, 81.67 % of patients had very good knowledge score and 6.67 % of patients had excellent knowledge score in post-test. Minimum knowledge score was 20 in post-test and maximum knowledge score was 30 in the post-test. Mean knowledge score in pre-test was 24.61 ± 2.53 and mean percentage of knowledge score in post-test was 70.33 ± 7.25. It indicates that information booklet is effective in improving knowledge of patients receiving chemotherapy. CONCLUSIONS Patients receiving chemotherapy have average knowledge regarding chemotherapy self-care. After providing information booklet, there was a very significant increase in the knowledge. The combined ‘t’ test was assessed in all hospitals for value of pretest knowledge and post-test knowledge score. Thus, it is concluded that the booklet on chemotherapy self-care is effective in improving the knowledge of patients receiving chemotherapy. KEY WORDS Cancer, Chemotherapy, Effectiveness, Self-Care

ABSTRACT Objectives To assess the knowledge of the primigravida before the structured childbirth education program, to assess the knowledge of the primigravida after the structured childbirth education program, to evaluate the effectiveness of structured childbirth education program in terms of gain in knowledge scores and to associate the knowledge scores with selected demographic variables. Methods The quasi-experimental research approach was used for this study with pretest post-test design. The sample size was 60 primigravidae. Non-probability convenient sampling technique was used for the selection of samples. Data collection was accomplished by using structured questionnaire with two sections. First, section dealt with baseline data of primigravidae and second, section dealt with knowledge of primigravidae related to labor process. Structured childbirth education program was prepared on childbirth process including all major topics related to labor and its preparation. Results Data were analyzed based on objectives and hypothesis. Data analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. Based on the analysis, interpretations were made. During comparison of pretest and the post-test knowledge scores of the samples researcher found, in pretest, majority of the samples 40 (66.66%) got poor knowledge score, whereas in post-test only two samples got poor knowledge score. In pretest 19 (31.66%) got average score, but in post-test majority, i.e. 36 (60%) got average score. In pretest, only single sample got good knowledge score but in post-test 22 (36.66%) samples got good knowledge score and the mean of pretest is very less, i.e. 7.05 with standard deviation (SD) 3.561016 as compared to post-test, where mean is 15.2 with SD 3.590729 ‘t’ calculated value, i.e. 5.096322 is greater than ‘t’ table value, i.e. 2.238152. This difference was statistically significant at p < 0.01 level with t-value of 5.096322. Conclusion Based on analysis, following inference was made. There was significant increase in knowledge after structured childbirth education program. Structured childbirth education program is found to be effective to increase primigravidae's knowledge related to labor process. The researcher found that there is no association of knowledge score with any of the selected demographic variable. How to cite this article Bharadwaj G, Kaur SP.
