The leaders in the nursing profession are well aware for what they are legally responsible, but there is a lack of well stated guidelines on legal responsibilities in the nursing profession. This is due to unawareness of citizens about their rights of protection against harmful or negligent professional practice. Hence, nurses are rarely got involved in court action or other legal procedures. As the public and profession become more and more aware of the practicing law, both the patient and nurse are in need to protect themselves from legal actions. Hence, understanding of legal responsibilities has become greater importance. Aim: Aim of study is to assess knowledge and attitude of staff nurses related to legal responsibilities in patient care in Y.C.R. Hospital. Method: In the study 60 sample were chosen using non probability convenient sampling, structured questionnaire administered to assess knowledge and attitude among staff nurses of Y.C.R. Hospital Latur. Result: The findings of the present study, revealed that among 78% staff nurses have average knowledge and 22% staff nurses have good knowledge. The total knowledge score ranged from 0 - 31. The knowledge score was further divided arbitrarily in to, Poor (0 – 10), Average (11 – 21), and good knowledge (22 – 31). A modified Likert type attitude scale was prepared and the total score ranged from 30 to 150. This was further divided arbitrarily as follows; Negative (30 – 70), Slightly Positive (71 – 110), and Strongly Positive attitude (111 – 150). Mean knowledge score among staff nurses was 20.0667 with standard deviation + 2.39962 and Range between 0-31 While the Mean attitude score was 91.4833 with Standard Deviation of +10.27007 and Range between 30-150. Hence Null hypothesis is accepted. To find association of knowledge with their selected personal demographical variables Chi-Square was computed, results reveal that no personal variables of samples were found to be statistically significant at 0.05 level of significance. CONCLUSION: The study revealed knowledge and attitude of staff nurses related to legal responsibilities is having a profound impact on patient care majority staff nurses have average knowledge about legal responsibilities in patient care. The result demonstrated that the Questionnaire was effective to assess knowledge and attitude related to legal responsibilities in patient care among staff nurses of Y.C.R.

Objectives: Objectives were to assess the level of quality of sleep among post-operative patients admitted in JMMC and RI, Thrissur and to associate socio-demographic and clinical data variables with level of quality of sleep among post-operative patients admitted in JMMC and RI, Thrissur. Methodology: A non experimental approach with descriptive design was used. The study was conducted by purposive sampling technique with 91 samples having age above 18 years from the general surgery ward of JMMC and RI. The data collection tool used in the study are demographic and clinical data variables and self developed questionnaire. Questionnaire score <45 is considered as adequate sleep and >45 is considered as inadequate sleep. Both descriptive (frequency, percentage) and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. Results: Socio-demographic data shows that majority of people 22 (24.2%) belong to the age group greater than 58 years and 39-48 years and 47 (51.6%) are males, 51 (56%) are Hindus. Clinical data variables shows that majority of people 74 (81.3%) were given general anesthesia, 38 (41.8%) of people is on 2 nd post operative day, 39 (42.8%) slept for 2-4 hours, 79 (86.8%) use general ward, 57 (62.6%) does not have any comorbid conditions, 75 (82.4%) have sleep disturbances, 39 (42.8%) have moderate pain and 83 (91.2%) have no history of past use of sleep medications. Inference from the Self developed Questionnaire shows that majority scored >45, 63 (69.23%) post-operative patients had inadequate sleep and only 28 (30.6%) patients scored <45 and had adequate sleep.1 There is significant association (p=0.001) between quality of sleep and sleeping hours. There is significant association (p=0.001) between quality of sleep and post-operative pain. Also there is significant association (p=0.001) between sleep quality and sleep. It is also evident that there is no association between quality of sleep and other socio-demographic and clinical data variables among post-operative patients thus adequacy of sleep identified here.2 Conclusion: The present study was to assess the level of quality of sleep among postoperative patients admitted in JMMC and RI,Thrissur. At the end of the study the investigators team found that majority 63 (69.23%) of post-operative patients have sleep disturbances only 28 (30.6%) had adequate sleep.
