It has quadrupled in the last 40 years and the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that by 2020 close to 60% of cardiac patients worldwide will be Indian. Coronary angiography is currently regarded as the gold standard technique for evaluation of patients with suspected coronary heart disease and for defining coronary anatomy. Nurses are the key persons who play a vital role in post coronary angiography patients. When caring for the patients, it is essential to ensure that all aspects of nursing care are evidence based so that the nurses can perform safe and accountable practice. Adequate knowledge and skills for care of patient after coronary angiography is expected from all the nurses to reduce complications. Keeping this in view, the present study was conducted to assess and improve the knowledge of staff nurses on post coronary angiography care. The objective of the study was to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching program on post coronary angiography care among staff nurses. The study was quantitative in nature with pre-experimental research design. Convenience sampling technique was used to recruit 50 staff nurses working in the Silver Oaks Multispecialty Hospital, Mohali, Punjab, India. A semistructured questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge of study subjects and the findings of the study include the pretest and posttest mean knowledge score of the study subjects which were 14.4 and 21.08 with standard deviation 3.3 and 4.38, respectively. The range was 17 (28–11) and t value 12.32. The results revealed that there was increase in the knowledge of the study subjects after the implementation of structured teaching program. It also concluded that knowledge of the study subjects was only associated with the professional qualification whereas all the other variables such as age, gender, work experience etc. were found nonsignificant. Hence it was concluded that the structured teaching program was effective in improving the knowledge of the staff nurses on post coronary angiography care.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"

For these reasons, tantrums are important childhood phenomenon that appears to warrant more empirical attention than they have been given to date. Thus the investigators felt the need to conduct a study to assess the effectiveness of planned teaching programme on knowledge regarding temper tantrums among the mothers of toddlers of selected areas in Sangli, Miraj & Kupwad Corporation area in India. The result seldom documented showed that mothers after receiving planned teaching regarding temper tantrums had higher mean knowledge scores in post-test (15.98) than in pretest (11.48); there was statistically highly significant increase in post-test score. The researcher applied Pearson’s Chi Square test for finding association but there was no association between demographical variables such as age, education, religion, and type of family and pre-test knowledge score.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> Keywords: temper tantrums, toddlers</span></span></p>2017-06-02T23:16:06+00:00Copyright (c) https://stmjournals.com/index.php?journal=JoNSP&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=7878Nonpharmacological Methods Used in the Management of Pain Caused by Peripheral Intravenous Catheters2016-12-02T03:07:06+00:00Dilek Yılmazdilekkara15@hotmail.comYurdanur Dikmennurdem35@gmail.com<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"><em><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Peripheral intravenous catheters are one of the most important tools of modern medical treatment. Although they are commonly used in clinical practice, it is reported that this is painful and uncomfortable for patients. In the previous studies, mostly pharmacological methods have been used to control the pain and discomfort experienced when peripheral intravenous catheters were used. However, although pharmacological methods are effective in controlling pain, they also have disadvantages for patients such as the likelihood of side effects, and additional time and cost. Therefore, there is a need for methods of controlling pain and discomfort, which are cheap, quick and easy to use, and have no possibility of side effects. Nonpharmacological methods are grouped as peripheral treatments, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and treatments other than these methods. Mostly cognitive-behavioral therapy and peripheral techniques have been tried in controlling the pain caused by peripheral intravenous catheters. These techniques have been used to a great extent on pediatric patients, where it was found that blowing up balloons, seeing flashing lights, listening to music, squeezing a stress ball, watching animation shows, or using a kaleidoscope were effective as methods of attracting attention in reducing the pain due to intravenous catheters. In addition, it has been found that techniques such as the valsalva maneuver, carried out by blowing into a sphygmomanometer and coughing, buzzy usage, and ice application were also effective. The aim of this review study was to investigate nonpharmacological methods and their effectiveness in controlling the pain experienced during peripheral intravenous catheterization. </span></em></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in;

personality and lifestyle. Thus, there should be awareness regarding prevalent diseases, common health problems and their treatment. Prevalence refers to the total number of individuals in a population who have a disease or health condition at a specific period of time, usually expressed as a percentage of the population. Treatment-seeking behaviour refers to "sequence of remedial actions that individuals undertake to rectify perceived health" and preventive measures are referred to as doing something good to minimise and reduce level of illnesses or problems. </span></em><em><span style="font-size: 10pt;">A descriptive quantitative research design was used to conduct the study to assess the prevalence of health problems, their treatment-seeking behavior and preventive measures among class C employees of PGIMER, Chandigarh, India. Systemic random sampling technique was utilized for this study. A structured questionnaire and biophysical assessment was used for data collection. Total 150 study participants were assessed. Majority (36.6%) of them were in the age group of 20–30 years, where male subjects were 65.3%. Contraceptives were used by majority (85.30%) of people and 78% were aware about the routes of HIV transmission. About 72.70% did not know much about vaccination and were not vaccinated for hepatitis B. Out of 29 reproductively active women, 23 had regular menstrual flow. Only 31.25% of total women participants performed breast self-examination. A total of 69.30% of the participants had normal BMI; 63.33% of participants exercised regularly, and 53.69% of them exercised for an average duration of 20 min. About 97.34% participants have sitting hours of 5–8 h per day. Twelve percent of participants were previously diagnosed with hypertension, 25.35% participants suffered from backache, and eye problems were prevalent in 50.70% population. </span></em><em><span style="font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-IN">In relation to their treatment-seeking behaviour, administration of self-medication of allopathic medicine was by 66% of the participants and 58.7% received benefits from the other modalities (Ayurveda, Homeopathy, Yoga etc.). About 24% participants were very much influenced by advertisements, treatment methods and healthcare centres in their decision making hence media plays a very important role in health promotion.

As nurses move away from traditional subservient roles and perceived stereotypes it increases a nurse’s needs to behave in assertive manner. Time series non-equivalent control (quasi experimental) group design was adopted to determine the effectiveness of assertiveness training module among under graduate nursing students from Punjab. Assertiveness training module was developed. Baseline assertiveness level of study participants was assessed with Rathus assertiveness scale. Assertiveness training was given for subjects in experimental group. Participants in control group were used as counterfactual with waitlist intervention. Post-test assessment of assertiveness level of both the groups was done immediately after last training session and thereafter on 15th and 30th day. Subjects in experimental and control group were found homogenous at baseline (p>0.05). Test of significance revealed significant difference of mean assertiveness score between subjects in experimental and control group (P<0.05), whereas an estimated odd ratio for the intervention group was 0.044. The study concluded that the assertiveness training module was effective in building assertive behavior among nursing students, whereas estimated odds which continued to be non-assertive are 23 times higher among non-assertive subjects who did not get the intervention as among those who do.</span></em></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: normal; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></em></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: normal; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><strong><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Keywords: </span></em></strong><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Assertiveness training, program, assertive training module, assertiveness assertive behavior, nursing students</span></em></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: normal; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: normal;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Cite this Article</span></strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: normal;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: normal; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Poonam Devi, Bharat Pareek, Sujata N.

The study concluded that majority of the nursing students intend to start their professional career in developed countries for number of reasons which indicate high probability of brain drain among Indian professional nurses. </span></em></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: normal;"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></em></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: 150%;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: normal;"><strong><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Keywords: </span></em></strong><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Brain drain, nursing student, nurse student, Punjab</span></em></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: normal;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: normal;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Cite this Article</span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></strong></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: normal;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Bharat Pareek, Jyoti Mahajan, Gurchetan Kaur.

A persistent rise in ICP produces compression effect over cerebral vasculature and reduces cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP). It results in brain stem compression and herniation, if left untreated. A systematic assessment of clinical status, serial and continuous monitoring of vital parameters and evidence based therapeutic regimen are required for the care of patient with intracranial hypertension. The treatment guidelines and practices related to the management of intracranial hypertension were identified through electronic databases: Medline and Cochrane library. Conservative interventions and surgical interventions are used when the clinical condition demands. Conservative interventions include osmotic therapy, analgesia, sedation and neuromuscular blocking agents, barbiturates, anti-seizure therapy and steroids. Head end elevation (15 to 30°), optimal hyperventilation, moderate hypothermia, avoidance of stimulations, fluid and electrolyte balance are some of the adjunct management strategies of ICP. CSF drainage, evacuation of mass lesion and decompressive craniectomy are the surgical interventions. Moreover, the success of ICP management depends on the control of ICP<20 mmHg (or age appropriate) and a CPP>50 (or age appropriate), as well as prevention of hypoxia and hypotension.<strong></strong></span></em></p><p style="margin: 0in 0.5in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span></em></p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8.3pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 200%; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;"> </p><p style="margin: 0in 0.5in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;"><strong><em><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Keywords: </span></em></strong><em><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Increased ICP, ICP monitoring, ICP management</span></em></p><p style="margin: 0in 0.5in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: normal;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Cite this Article</span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></strong></p><p style="margin: 0in 0.5in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Vijay VR, Jaison Joseph.

Memory begins to deteriorate with ageing due to destruction of body tissues and degeneration of brain cells and is referred to as memory loss. Memory loss gives rise to many mental health problems which affects the day-to-day life activities of the senior citizens. The study aimed to explore the mental health problems related to memory loss among senior citizens. Ninety senior citizens were selected by purposive sampling technique. The data was collected from the selected senior citizens by using memory loss rating scale and questionnaire on mental health problems. The results of the study revealed that 25.6% of senior citizens had mild memory loss and 11.1% had moderate memory loss. 65.2% behaviour changes, 52.3% personality changes, 71.2% denial, 39.4% confusion, 61.4% anxiety, 18.2% suicidal tendencies, 12% problems with abstract thinking and 37.9% decreased judgement were found among 33 senior citizens with memory loss. It was concluded that majority of senior citizens who had memory loss had mental health problems also including behaviour changes, personality changes, denial, confusion, anxiety, suicidal tendencies, problem with abstract thinking and decreased judgment.</span></em></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" lang="EN-IN"> </span></em></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"><strong><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" lang="EN-IN">Keywords: </span></em></strong><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" lang="EN-IN">Mental health problems, memory loss, senior citizens</span></em></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" lang="EN-IN">Cite this Article</span></strong></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" lang="EN-IN">Harpreet Kaur, Priyanka Dogra, Kanika.

The objectives of the study were to find out the effectiveness of preprocedural demonstration of venepuncture in terms of changes of pain between experimental group and control group. The investigator used a standardized tool that is Wong Baker’s FACES pain rating scale after 2–3 min of venepuncture for assessing the pain. The study results revealed that preprocedural demonstration of venepuncture therapy was effective (t value 7.09) at 0.05 level of significance.
