Health counseling about contraception is essential to provide more knowledge about how to use contraception and improve the attitude and behavior of the family toward the Family Planning Program. This study aimed to determine the effect of counseling on the intrauterine device (IUD) knowledge and attitudes. This research was conducted in Bojong Menteng village, Tunjung Teja district, Serang regency, in February–July 2019. This study used the true experimental design method to look for the treatment effect on others in controlled conditions using pretest-posttest control group design and a quantitative research approach. In this study, the experimental and the control group are given a pretest to find out the initial conditions to see whether there are differences between the experimental group and the control group. Samples used random sampling techniques where 40 people were divided into two groups who have not used the IUD and have two children and more. The study employed paired t test and unpaired t test to analyze the data. The results showed that the average knowledge of the experiment group increased to 72, and the average knowledge of the control group increased to 70.2. In addition, the average attitude of the experiment group increased to 82.35. The difference between the two groups was only seen in wearing, where the experimental group showed positive behavior towards using the IUD. The conclusion is that counseling through leaflets, information education counseling kit, and direct explanation have positive responses.EFEK PENYULUHAN KESEHATAN MENGENAI IUD TERHADAP PENGETAHUAN DAN SIKAP PADA PASANGAN DI KABUPATEN SERANGPenyuluhan kesehatan tentang kontrasepsi penting dilakukan untuk memberikan lebih banyak pengetahuan tentang cara penggunaan kontrasepsi serta meningkatkan sikap dan perilaku keluarga terhadap Program Keluarga Berencana.

An integration project initiated at the Gush Etzion Regional Elementary School in Israel at the beginning of the 1984/85 school year has now been running for six years. In the program ethnically Oriental pupils from a lower achievement-oriented environment and lower socioeconomic status were assigned to integrated classrooms together with higher achievement-oriented and higher socioeconomic-status students of Western ethnic background. A number of interventions designed to promote improved academic achievement were implemented at the school. Analysis indicated that pupils of lower socioeconomic status assigned to the experimental group achieved significantly higher reading scores than pupils of lower socioeconomic status in the control group attending a nonintegrated school. However, pupils of higher socioeconomic status studying in the integrated school and belonging to a comparison group achieved higher scores on the research instrument than members of either the experimental or the control groups despite the interventions undertaken to close the achievement gap. It appears that, although the interventions undertaken contributed to academic success of the experimental group subjects, they did not go all the way towards closing the achievement gap between lower and higher socioeconomic-status pupils.

Positive education takes the study of happiness and wellbeing to inspire and help learners, schools and societies to progress. This study investigated the significant differences in the means of the pretest and posttest of students’ academic achievement and their life satisfaction in Mathematics. The relationship of students’ academic achievement and their life satisfaction in Mathematics was also measured. A total of one hundred twenty students (60 in the experimental group and 60 in the control group) from the two secondary schools in Maguindanao, Philippines living in a hostile environment were chosen and involved in the study. Results showed that there is a significant difference in the means of the pretest and posttest results of academic achievement of students in Mathematics both in the control and experimental group. The means of the pretest and posttest results of students’ life satisfaction in Mathematic were only significant in the experimental group of one school. Furthermore, there is no significant relationship between the academic achievement of students and their life satisfaction in Mathematics. The practical implication of the findings suggests that positive education intervention is also an effective strategy  to improve academic achievement. Life satisfaction on the other hand is subjective and perceived differently by the learners.

A quasi-experimental study was conducted to find out the effect of honey mouth-care on xerostomia among semiconscious and unconscious patients in a selected hospital of Odisha. In this study, an experimental research approach and non-randomized control group design were adopted. 40 patients were selected by the non-probability purposive sampling technique and who met the inclusion criteria were selected for the study. A self-structured interview schedule and record analysis performa were used for collecting socio-demographic data. The Challacombe Scale was used to assess the level xerostomia among the selected patients. In unpaired 't' test, there was a significant difference between the level of xerostomia among the experimental group and control group as 't' value was -6.03 (p<0.0001), which represented that honey mouth-care was effective in reducing the level of xerostomia. In paired 't' test, there was a significant difference between the level of xerostomia in pre-test and post-test score among the experimental group as 't' value was -6.45 (p<0.0001) which represented that honey mouth-care was effective in reducing the level of xerostomia. The chi-square association between levels of xerostomia with selected demographic variables revealed that there was a significant association between the level of xerostomia with age and history of the previous hospitalization. No significant association found between the level of xerostomia with the socio-demographic data and the duration of semi-consciousness or unconsciousness and duration of xerostomia. The findings of the study revealed that honey-mouth-care was highly effective in reducing xerostomia among semiconscious and unconscious clients.
