Abstract

According to a message from the Secretary United Nations on World's Population Day (UNFPA, 2014), the growth and progress of any country is dependent on its healthy and working young population. An estimated 1.8 billion of the world's population are youth who contribute towards socio-economic uplifting of the country and more than 70% of youth are living in developing countries (World Health Organization, 2014). The challenges of communicable diseases are being replaced by the non-communicable disease and risk taking behaviors among youth such as suicide. This paper presents magnitude of suicide worldwide and with respect of some specific countries. It also includes determinants of suicide, i.e., socio-cultural, psychological, and biological followed by brief summary of the paper.

Abstract

Incivility in nursing academia and workplace is one of the emerging and complex issues in recent years, and can have substantial consequences on the organizational benchmark as well as on the teaching and learning milieu of the institution. Growth of academic incivility among the modern and diversified generation of students can have a profound destructive impact on their academic life and professional career. Impolite and discourteous attitude and behavior in a classroom atmosphere can originate from the learners as well the teachers, which can significantly impact the critical thinking and learning outcomes of the learner. This matter needs to be addressed based on the institutional policy and standards so that professional leaders for tomorrow can be extracted from the current and upcoming generation.

Abstract

Child labor is a global concern; however, in a developing country like Pakistan, the scenario of child labor is worse that is detrimental to their physical, mental, and social health aspects. Child labor is considered as main contributing factor towards child abuse. It deprives children's basic right of education and care they should receive from their parents which poses a negative implication on their overall personality. This paper presents magnitude on child labor worldwide and with reference of Pakistan. It also includes detail analysis of determinants of child labor, i.e., psycho-socio-cultural, Human/biological, and organizational. Psycho-socio-cultural determinants include illiteracy and poverty followed by human/biological determinants including household size. Moreover, organizational determinants include weak legislation on child protection and weak implementation of the laws. These factors are responsible for children to be socially and sexually exploited. Intense efforts are required to initiate strategies which help in minimizing child labor in the country as these children are future and hope for every nation.

Abstract

Self-care in Heart Failure (HF) is essential to maintain Quality Of Life (QOL) and reduce hospital read missions. There are several factors affecting the self care among HF patients. To explore the Self Care Behaviors (SCB) and its influencing factors, a descriptive explanatory study a mixed method approach (QUANTI-quali) was employed. The SCB among HF patients was explored via a cross sectional survey whereas the influencing factors were explored through qualitative inquiry. The overall level of SCB was low with only 7% patients adhering to the desired SCB. The highest adhered SCB was taking medications (86%) whereas, the lowest was contacting physician for weight gain (10%). Moreover, patients' financial status, education, experience of the illness, family support, and self-control were the key factors that influenced the SCB of the patients. This study has implications for health care providers and policymakers to establish HF management programs for patients in our culture.

Abstract

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA, 2000) has mentioned that nursing is among those professions that have the highest risk of ergonomic hazards, especially musculoskeletal disorders. Many studies have been done on body mechanics, transfer, and lifting by nurses, but none of them proved to be operative against ergonomics occupational hazards. According to (Zakerian et al., 2013), very few literatures are available on ergonomics occupational health hazards faced by nurses. Additional literature is needed to reduce the rate of ergonomics health hazards faced by nurses as mentioned by the authors. This research aims to find out the risk factors and hazards responsible for causing ergonomic related problems among nurses, evaluate their practices, and suggest recommendations to reduce it. Moreover, this study benefits the employer in terms of reduce turnover and improves retention of nurses. This is a cross sectional study. Non-probability purposive sampling was done and total of 384 participants were recruited. A standardized structured validated questionnaire adapted from American Nurses Association (2011) was used. Results were compiled according to individual questions clustered in a group. The results showed that nurses working in private and public sector hospitals of Karachi are predisposed to certain ergonomic related hazards and risk factors. Measures should be taken by hospital administration to reduce such hazards and to promote health and well-being of patients and nurses too.

Abstract

Adolescent account for almost 20.9% of the country's population. Roughly, in India, for every two women newly diagnosed with breast cancer, one is dying of it. The high mortality in developing countries is due to lack of awareness, early detection, and poor access to treatment facilities. To make awareness among adolescents a pre-experimental research design was selected to evaluate the effectiveness of VATM (Video-Assisted Teaching Module) on knowledge of adolescent girls regarding breast self-examination to prevent breast cancer in Roland Junior College, Ankuli, Berhampur, by using convenient sampling technique. Results show that highly significant difference was found between pre and post-test knowledge score and no significant difference was found between knowledge score with their selected demographic variables. The study and prepared video is very useful for the Nurses to teach patients and women in their community regarding the steps of BSE (Breast Self Examination).

Abstract

This paper assesses the factors of preoperative waiting time and its relationship with level of patient's satisfaction in surgical unit of selected hospital. Descriptive design and survey research approach were adopted for this study. 40 patients were consecutively selected for this study. The study population was patients who were admitted into the general surgical ward of the hospital. Self structure patient satisfaction with preoperative care questionnaire was used to assess factors responsible for preoperative waiting time and its relation to level of patient's satisfaction. The data was analyzed by using SPSS version 20.0 (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences). In general satisfaction of patients with factors of preoperative waiting time in surgery unit is above average. The study shows that there was significant difference between levels of patient's satisfaction with preoperative waiting time with regard to the factors of the patient. Satisfaction of patient with factors of preoperative waiting time in general surgical, orthopedic ward, and gynecological ward and urology ward is above average. Studies using more sample size may be useful to validate findings.
