Globally anemia accounts for a majority of the nutritional problem and it is principally engendered by deficiency of iron. Its prevalence is inordinately higher among developing nations, because of low socioeconomic status and poor access to healthcare services. In developing countries, the adolescent group is more exposed to nutritional challenges and adolescent girls are more vulnerable to the disease. This survey is intended to evaluate the prevalence of anemia and its associated factors among adolescent girls in age group of 12-15 year in Jaipur district, this survey also generated the anemic cases in the adolescent girls of age 12-15 year. A cross sectional study was conducted from August 2019 to January 2020 by attending health check-up camps at various areas situated within 20 kilometers in Jaipur district. Hemoglobin estimation was done by using three-part auto analyzer method. Statistical analysis was done using Percentages and Chi-square Test. 75.39% girls were found anemic. Statistically significant association (p < 0.05) was found in anemia in adolescent girls with the history of receiving iron folic acid (IFA) supplementation, deworming, age, habitat, family type and status of menarche. Present study reveals that 75.39% girls were found anemic and the problem is significantly associated with status of IFA supplementation, deworming and family type.

Background: Prevalence of anemia is higher in girls in low socioeconomic status; In addition it gets precipitated by blood loss during menstruation. Anemia in adolescent girls in future attributes to high maternal mortality rate, high incidence of low birth weight babies, high perinatal mortality and fetal wastage. Methods: This was cross-sectional study. All the adolescent girls studying in standards 9th - 12th class who were given consent to hemoglobin estimation were included in the study. The girls ≥20 years, and those suffering from any chronic disease were not included in the study. A total of 400 girls were interviewed and were investigated for their Hemoglobin concentration. A predesigned and pretested schedule was used to collect the information about the participants. Results: Most of the girls i.e.388 (97%) belonged to the socioeconomic class II, III, IV. The association between SES and anemia was found statistically significant. The association between mother education and anemia was also found statistically significant but association between type of family and anemia was also found statistically Insignificant. Conclusion: Nutrition education along with nutritional supplementation and iron folic acid tablets should be provided to all girls.

Abstract: Iron deficiency anemia is a major nutritional problem in the world and until now has not resolved properly. World Health Organization (WHO) had estimated more then 2 million people had been exposed with anaemia with prevalence of 30% in pregnant women especially in Developing Countries such as Indonesia, which according RISKESDAS in 2013 the prevalence of anemia in Indonesia approximately 31.7%. There are several risk factors that cause pregnant women to experience iron deficiency anemia like economic problems, the lack of iron absorption and blood loss resulting in decreased hemoglobin levels such as menstruation, bleeding and infection. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of iron tablets on antenatal care for pregnant women hemoglobin. This research is analytic survey with cross sectional study. Then the data that had been collected will be processed by using SPSS program. The population is all pregnant women in the working area in 6 health centers Mongondouw Bolaang North and sampling done purposive sampling. By using the chi square test, it showed that there is a correlation between antenatal care with hemoglobin levels (P=0,047) and there is a correlation between iron tablet with hemoglobin levels (P= 0,015). There is a correlation between iron tablets and antenatal care with hemoglobin levels in pregnant women in North Bolaang Mongondouw.Keywords: iron tablets, antenatal care, hemoglobin levelAbstrak: Anemia defisiensi besi merupakan masalah gizi utama di seluruh dunia dan sampai saat ini belum teratasi dengan baik.

Biomedical scientists (BMSs) are important professionals for healthcare services as they help in the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of numerous diseases. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to assess ergonomics knowledge, attitude, and practice among BMSs. A cross-sectional study was carried out among BMSs using a self-constructed questionnaire. The association between these parameters and various risk factors was measured using the Chi-square test. The study included 110 BMSs. Females represented 68.2% and 45.5% were in the age of 25-34. Good ergonomics knowledge showed in 54.5% and 82.7% showed high positive attitude. However, poor ergonomics showed in 83.5%. There was no significant interrelation between the three parameters. A significant association was found between the male gender (0.040), more than 20 working experience (0.016), and good ergonomics practice. Biomedical scientists have good knowledge, high attitude but the poor practice of ergonomics. Ergonomics training and practice should be firmly enhanced among these healthcare professionals.

Background: Family medicine is a field in which complete and detailed set of healthcare services are provided to the patients and their families. In developed countries, freshly graduated students choose family medicine as a priority for their career. However, in Pakistan it is not the case. The present study is undertaken to determine the perceptions of final year medical students’ about Family Medicine as a viable career. Methods: A total number of 504 students participated in the study. This was a cross-sectional study. The study participants were in their final year of medical college. Data was collected using a preapproved questionnaire. Data was entered and analyzed via SPSS version 17 and Chi-Square test was used post-stratification. Results: Only 14.3% (n=72) medical students had heard about Family Medicine. Only 18% (n=92) would select family medicine as a profession. The most frequent rationale for choosing the field of Family Medicine was the variety of patients seen in general practice (55.4% n=51). Conclusion: There is a dire need to focus on increasing awareness about the field of family medicine among medical students. The students should be counseled on the advantages along with the disadvantages of choosing this field as a medical profession.

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.
