Background:  In the twenty-first century, Caesarean section is the most frequent operation in obstetrics. Throughout the twentieth century, Caesarean sections have proven to be one of the most efficient abdominal procedures. Over the last three decades, the number of caesarean sections has risen considerably. Around the world, the number of caesarean sections performed is on the rise. From 2003 to 2018, it is more than doubled, reaching a peak of 21% and is growing at a rate of 4% every year. Today’s student nurse will become future nurse, so it’s vital create them competent while providing care to the mothers after lower section caesarean section. Objective: To assess current competencies among students on postnatal care of mothers who underwent lower section caesarean section in study group , to assess the impact of the skill training programme on the competencies of students in focused group & to find out the association between post-test competencies with the demographic variables of students of study group. Methods and Materials: The quasi-experimental with non-equivalent pre-test post-test design study was conducted on 30 students in each of experimental and control group by convenient sampling technique in two nursing institutions at Gurugram, Haryana. Results: Experimental group subjects enhanced the level of knowledge from 11.6 to 17.8 and their skill from 11.7 to 35.5 after implementing the skilled training programme, while the control group showed no improvement. There is a statistically significant transformation between the pre-test and post-test scores. Paired sample ‘t’ test was used to observe differences between pre and post-test mean scores. Students with prior knowledge were more competent, which is statistically noteworthy with a P value of < 0.001. Age, sex, religion, parents' education, and home location are not significant demographic characteristics. The Pearson chi square test was used to determine statistical significance. Conclusion: Skill training not only enhance knowledge in a specific field, but then also clarifies students how to network, accomplish to timeline, and connect efficiently with people. A competent student nurse can become a competent staff nurse by developing skill through effecting skill training program during study period.

Purpose The aim of this study it to determine the effect of training intensive care unit (ICU) nurses in reducing ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Materials and methods A quasi-experimental (single group, pre-test–post-test) model was used. The study was conducted in 2015, in nine adult ICUs in Istanbul, where we observed the VAP rate and trained study group nurses. Sixty nurses were given two VAP training sessions (averaging 45 min each) at intervals of 6 months. Forty-nine nurses were in the control group. Data were collected with an Introductory Information Form, a VAP Information Test, and an Application Status of VAP Preventive/Reducing Initiatives Form. The incidences of VAP in 2014 and 2015 were also compared. Frequencies, percentages, means, standard deviations, t-tests, Wilcoxon tests, and χ2 tests were used to evaluate the data. The values of p less than .05 were considered significant. Results The mean-total-knowledge score increased significantly in the study group. The application of preventive/reducing initiatives also increased significantly in the study group, but in the last measurement, the difference between the groups was not statistically significant. The incidences of VAP decreased significantly in the study group. Conclusion The study showed that the VAP training given to intensive care nurses increased their knowledge level and decreased the incidence of VAP in their ICUs.

Grammatical Structures

The exploratory study investigated the effectiveness of a new tool referred to as the error correction log (ECL). It was designed from a cognitive SLA perspective to facilitate learning, in the context of this study, of grammatical structures, following the receipt of written corrective feedback (WCF). The uniqueness of the ECL is that it guides learners through the cognitive processes deemed to underlie acquisition of grammatical structures, namely, noticing-the-gap (Schmidt & Frota, 1986), noticing (Schmidt, 1990, 2001) and noticing with metalinguistic understanding (Leow, 1997; Schmidt, 2001), and in the process potentially change the type of WCF available to learners. As the ECL was designed by the author, no study has investigated its effectiveness against a more established means of attending to WCF. In the case of the study presented here, the ECL was compared against studying WCF for a period of time. Utilizing a quasi-experimental design (a pre-test, treatment, immediate post-test, and delayed post-test), the treatment was a focused direct WCF plus ECL group versus a focused direct WCF plus study group. A control group received no WCF. The tests were three writing tasks; the target structure was regular past tense verbs. While the ECL group improved over time, the study group and the control group did not. The ECL group outperformed the control group in the delayed post-test, whereas the study group did not. An analysis of whether the corrected past tense verbs were subsequently used or not used in the post-tests demonstrated a lack of correct use for the ECL group; this, with an analysis of the ECLs for the provision of a metalinguistic explanation, suggest learners may have been able to change direct WCF (potential noticing) to direct WCF plus metalinguistic explanation (potential noticing plus metalinguistic understanding) leading to the suggestion these learners likely drew on the corrected verbs, their preexisting vocabulary-learned knowledge and preexisting metalinguistic knowledge (implicitly and explicitly acquired) when completing the delayed post-test. These results will be discussed in relation to research, theory and practice.

Pain Rating Scale

Dysmenorrhea or agonising uterine cycle is one of the most common significant reasons for school non-attendance among young girls since it influences their scholarly presentation, school and sports exercises. Dysmenorrhea is the most well-known gynaecologic issue among youth girls, with a predominance of 60% to 93%. The examination planned for evaluating the adequacy of Billig's exercise in diminishing dysmenorrhea among young girls. A quantitative methodology with the quasi-experimental design was embraced for the investigation. Sixty young girls with age between 12-17 years were enlisted by convenient sampling. The pain was surveyed by Numerical pain rating scale from both study and control gathering, After the pretest, Billig's exercise was given to the study group on the day preceding period, day one and day two of uterine cycle, 5 — multiple times for 20 minutes every day. Following one month on next uterine cycle, Post-test was done to evaluate the degree of dysmenorrhoea among the two gatherings by utilizing the same numerical pain rating scale. The mean score of post-test pain level was 1.2 in the study group, and 2 in the control group and the determined 't' esteem was 5.03. This infers that there was a more critical distinction in the menstrual agony level after taking Billig's exercise among young girls of exploratory gathering. This examination unmistakably expresses that there is a critical impact of Billig's exercise in a decrease of agony during the monthly cycle among young girls.

Mission Trips

Short-term Christian overseas volunteer trips, also known as short-term mission trips (STMs), have become increasingly prevalent (Howell & Dorr, 2007). However, research on these programs has been limited. This quasi-experimental study adds to the literature by quantitatively measuring the effects of an STM from Singapore to Thailand. STM recipients’ ( n = 44) self-esteem and readiness for self-directed learning (RSDL) were compared across timepoints – pre-test, post-test, follow-up – and with a control group ( n = 50). It was hypothesized that recipients would experience an increase in self-esteem and RSDL such that their scores would be higher than the control group post-STM. Results provide partial support for the hypotheses; while improvements among recipients were either not significant (for self-esteem) or not long-lasting (for RSDL), recipients had higher scores than the control group post-STM. This suggests that STMs have some, albeit limited, positive effects. Recommendations for promoting greater and longer-lasting effects are offered.
