Background of Study: The World Health Organization has designated the outbreak as a global epidemic, requiring country to tighten its statewide lockdown in order to prevent the illness from spreading and to put an end to the outbreak in its several states. This study is designed to establish how many bankers are aware of the Corona Virus. Most of people are sensitive to fear of sickness or death, feeling hopeless, and being stereotype at the group level, just as they are at the individual level. The epidemic has a negative effect on public mental health, perhaps leading to psychiatric crises. Objectives: To assess the awareness and stress level regarding covid-19 pandemic among bankers. Materials and Methods: A Descriptive research design study was undertaken to assess awareness and stress level regarding covid-19 pandemic among bankers. In this study the total number of 100 who fulfill the inclusion criteria were selected banks in Wardha city.  The study was non-probability convenient sampling technique used and the tool was the structured questionnaires on awareness of covid-19 and also modify modify perceived stress scale. The data gathering process began based on the objectives and the hypothesis the data was statistically analyzed with various tests such as descriptive statistics and inferential statistics.  Results: This study is planned to assess to assess awareness and stress level in bankers regarding covid-19 pandemic. The result are shows that the awareness of bankers, 6% of bankers had average, 83% of bankers had good and 11% of bankers had excellent level of awareness level. Minimum awareness score was 6 and maximum awareness score was 18. Mean awareness score was 13.51±2.01 and mean percentage of awareness score was 68.55±10.08. The stress level of banker’s shows that 7% of bankers had moderate stress, 80% had severe and 13% of bankers had extreme stress. Minimum stress score was 22 and maximum stress score was 65. Mean stress score was 37.59±10.50 and mean percentage of stress score was 59.48±12.75 Conclusion: To assess overall awareness and stress level in bankers regarding covid-19 pandemic. We conducted a survey with a representative sample of the Wardha city. Our research study concluded that the bankers have good knowledge related to covid-19 and suffer from high level of stress. One sensible option is to give expert counselling to reduce this unnecessary stress. We recommend that deep breathing exercise, meditation, yoga can also help people to eliminate stress.

ABSTRACTIn 2002, the World Health Organization emphasised the concept of active ageing to manage and increase the last third of life. Although many efforts have been made to optimise treatment management, less attention has been paid to health promotion initiatives. To date, few shared guidelines exist that promote an active life in healthy older targets. To fill this gap, we conducted a systematic review to map health promotion interventions that targeted an active and healthy ageing among older citizens. Articles containing the key term active ageing and seven synonyms were searched for in the electronic databases. Because we were interested in actions aimed to promote healthier lifestyles, we connected the string with the term health. A total of 3,918 titles were retrieved and 20 articles were extracted. Twelve of the 20 studies used group interventions, five interventions targeted the individual level and three interventions targeted the community level. Interventions differed for the health focus of the programmes, which ranged from physical activity interventions to social participation or cognitive functioning. Most of the studies aimed to act on psychological components. The review suggests that different interventions promoted for active ageing are effective in improving specific healthy and active lifestyles; however, no studies were concerned directly with a holistic process of citizen health engagement to improve long-term outcomes.

The COVID-19 epidemic, which the World Health Organization regards as a "pandemic", continues to be perceived as a threat to survive for many people living in different parts of the world. The virus is a global epidemic; It affects everyone's lives negatively regardless of religion, language, race, gender, socioeconomic and sociocultural differences. Facing with a threat that develops suddenly, changes daily habits and can result in death is not a common situation for people, and the perception of threat and uncertainty it creates makes it difficult to cope with the situation. Uncertainty is an important part of the illness experience, and our response to uncertainty can significantly affect our illness outcomes. Mishel's Uncertainty Theory in Illness helps to find meaning in uncertainty again and to develop healthy coping mechanisms. The role of nurses in the management of uncertainty regarding illness; to facilitate the process and to adapt the patient to healthy reactions. In this case report; Within the scope of the Uncertainty in Illness Theory of Mishel, a 39-year-old nurse who was diagnosed with Covid 19 was planned to find a meaning in the disease again by planning the care process. It was stated that the theory can be applied in the acute illness as well as in the chronic illness.

Abstract Background The global epidemic of diabetes mellitus continues to grow and affects developed and developing countries alike. Intensive glycemic control is thought to modify the risks for vascular complications, hence the risks for diabetes-related death. We investigated the trend of diabetic vascular complication-related deaths between 2000 and 2016 in the global diabetes landscape. Methods We collected 17 years of death certificates data from 108 countries in the World Health Organization mortality database between 2000 and 2016, with coding for diabetic complications. Crude and age-standardized proportions and rates were calculated. Trend analysis was done with annual average percentage change (AAPC) of rates computed by joinpoint regression. Results From 2000 through 2016, 7,108,145 deaths of diabetes were reported in the 108 countries. Among them, 26.8% (1,904,787 cases) were attributed to vascular complications in damaged organs, including the kidneys (1,355,085 cases, 71.1%), peripheral circulatory (515,293 cases, 27.1%), nerves (28,697 cases, 1.5%) and eyes (5751 cases, 0.3%). Overall, the age-standardized proportion of vascular complication-related mortality was 267.8 [95% confidence interval (95% CI), 267.5–268.1] cases per 1000 deaths and the rate was 53.6 (95% CI 53.5–53.7) cases per 100,000 person-years. Throughout the 17-year period, the overall age-standardized proportions of deaths attributable to vascular complications had increased 37.9%, while the overall age-standardized mortality rates related to vascular complications had increased 30.8% (AAPC = 1.9% [1.4–2.4%, p < 0.05]). These increases were predominantly driven by a 159.8% increase in the rate (AAPC = 2.7% [1.2–4.3%, p < 0.05]) from renal complications. Trends in the rates and AAPC of deaths varied by type of diabetes and of complications, as well as by countries, regions and domestic income. Conclusion Diabetic vascular complication-related deaths had increased substantially during 2000–2016, mainly driven by the increased mortality of renal complications.

Abstract Objectives Over half of women of reproductive age in India are anemic so the World Health Organization recommends daily iron folic acid (IFA) for all women of reproductive age. The government has distributed free IFA for over four decades but initial uptake and adherence remain inadequate. Objectives 1) to understand the multilevel factors that hinder IFA use and adherence; and 2) to inform a behavioral intervention to increase IFA use to reduce anemia. Methods We conducted this study in four rural villages in the state of Odisha, India. We held 25 key informant interviews with front-line health workers, 16 focus groups with women of reproductive age, husbands, and mothers-in-law (n = 148) and 18 direct observations in health centers, pharmacies and women's groups. We purposively sampled key informants and randomly sampled focus group participants from an enumeration of all eligible residents of each village, and stratified them by sex, age and relation to a woman of reproductive age. We analyzed the data using applied thematic analysis and Nvivo software. Results At the individual level, we found that most people knew that IFA prevents anemia, but they did not recognize its widespread prevalence, believing instead that it was rare in their community. They also believed that taking too many IFA supplements during pregnancy would “make your baby big” causing a painful birth and possibly the need for a cesarean section. At the interpersonal level, mothers-in-law were not supportive of their daughters-in-law taking IFA too often because they themselves did not take them when they were younger. Husbands were more supportive. At the policy level, frontline health workers distribute IFA but are not incentivized to follow up on adherence. Finally, state and national policies are not consistent around which sub-populations should take IFA (e.g., whether all non-pregnant women of reproductive age should take them). Conclusions To address these multilevel barriers to IFA use and adherence, interventions should take a normative approach that includes a woman's social network and targets both descriptive norms (ideas about how many women in the community have anemia and are taking IFA) and injunctive norms around who should be taking IFA (e.g., all women of reproductive age).

BackgroundThe methodology commonly used to estimate disease burden, featuring ratings of severity of individual conditions, has been criticized for ignoring co-morbidity. A methodology that addresses this problem is proposed and illustrated here with data from the World Health Organization World Mental Health Surveys. Although the analysis is based on self-reports about one's own conditions in a community survey, the logic applies equally well to analysis of hypothetical vignettes describing co-morbid condition profiles.MethodFace-to-face interviews in 13 countries (six developing, nine developed; n=31 067; response rate=69.6%) assessed 10 classes of chronic physical and nine of mental conditions. A visual analog scale (VAS) was used to assess overall perceived health. Multiple regression analysis with interactions for co-morbidity was used to estimate associations of conditions with VAS. Simulation was used to estimate condition-specific effects.ResultsThe best-fitting model included condition main effects and interactions of types by numbers of conditions. Neurological conditions, insomnia and major depression were rated most severe. Adjustment for co-morbidity reduced condition-specific estimates with substantial between-condition variation (0.24–0.70 ratios of condition-specific estimates with and without adjustment for co-morbidity). The societal-level burden rankings were quite different from the individual-level rankings, with the highest societal-level rankings associated with conditions having high prevalence rather than high individual-level severity.ConclusionsPlausible estimates of disorder-specific effects on VAS can be obtained using methods that adjust for co-morbidity. These adjustments substantially influence condition-specific ratings.

The Relationship

World Health Organization (WHO) announced that anxiety disorders are ranked as the sixth-largest contributor to non-fatal health loss globally, and these disorders are most prevalent during a human’s emerging adulthood period. Emerging adulthood is an individual’s life stage that roughly lasts from ages 18 to 25. This study aims to find out the mediating effect of self-esteem on the relationship between materialism and anxiety of emerging adults living in Yogyakarta. For data collection, we used a quota sampling technique which involved 332 emerging adults aged 18 to 25 years. Participants were measured with Richins and Dawson’s Materialistic Value Scale, Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale, and Beck Anxiety Inventory. These scales were distributed to the research participants via online questionnaires. A causal step approach was used in mediation regression analysis to test the hypothesis. Research results showed that the hypothesis was accepted: self-esteem partially mediated materialism and anxiety, although the mediation was minimal.
