An adequate understanding of OT ascertained by Healthcare Professionals (HP), might promote timely relevant referrals for OT services. Aim: This study aimed to assess awareness and knowledge about OT among HP in India. Study Design: Cross-sectional design. Method: The authors developed and validated a questionnaire followed by contacting the selected HP from the various hospitals in the country. The link for the google form was shared with the consented HP. Data was collected from September 2021 to October 2021. Pearson chi-square test was used to analyse the correlation among the questionnaire items. Results: 230 participants consented to participate in the survey and their responses were analysed. The results showed that 84.8% of the HP were aware of OT as an independent profession, since 64.8% of HP were providing habilitation/ rehabilitation services as a part of their clinical services. University curriculum and work practice were identified as major sources where HP learnt about OT. The Activities of Daily Living (ADL) was considered a primary practice area by HP. Conclusion: The study concluded that HP is aware of OT and recognized it as a profession dedicated to the habilitation and rehabilitation of persons with disability. However, their responses revealed a lack of awareness about the profession’s scope with regard to practice and function in the workplace. As a result, referrals may be disrupted, affecting patient care and holistic approach.","PeriodicalId":276735,"journal":{"name":"Chettinad Health City Medical Journal","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123549358","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the occupational burnout and level of stress among frontline health professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic and to seek the association of occupational burnout and level of stress with selected socio-demographic variables among frontline health professionals, who worked during COVID-19 pandemic respectively. Method: The descriptive survey included 200 frontline health professionals who worked during COVID-19 pandemic using non-probability purposive sampling technique. Standardised tools were used for data collection i.e. Burnout Assessment Tool for assessing occupational burnout and Perceived Stress Scale for the level of stress. Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed for the analysis of data. Results: Out of 200 health professionals, most frontline health professionals who worked during COVID-19 pandemic had an average occupational burnout. More than half of the sample had moderate, followed by 43.5% who had low and only 1% who had a high level of stress. There was a significant association of occupational burnout and level of stress with selected socio-demographic variables at a level of significance of 0.05. Conclusion: A large proportion of frontline health professionals who worked during COVID-19 had average occupational burnout and more than half suffered from moderate to high stress. Awareness must be created about factors causing stress and coping strategies, which can lead to the prevention of occupational burnout.","PeriodicalId":276735,"journal":{"name":"Chettinad Health City Medical Journal","volume":"237 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122455576","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But in the last two decades, Ḥijāmah is gaining its due acceptance in the management of different neuromuscular and pain disorders. For sciatica, Ḥijāmah is advised over the sciatic nerve. Ḥijāmah with 2 cups (over the gluteal area and thigh/ over calf muscle and below the ankle), with 5 cups and even with 9 cups may be done in patients of sciatica. These different settings/ protocols of Ḥijāmah in patients with sciatica show a significant reduction in pain and disability. Ḥijāmah for lower back pain is indicated on acupuncture points BL23, BL24, and BL25 by application of 2 cups on each site, either simultaneously or in a phased manner (in 3 sittings on weekly basis; cupping at one site at once, followed by next point in the next week). According to the Persian traditional method, Ḥijāmah between the scapula (on day 0), then at the sacrum (on day 3) and over the calf muscle (on day 6) gives good results in lower back pain. Ḥijāmah (wet cupping) over the painful area of the neck with multiple cups (2-6) in a single sitting is the preferred method for non-specific neck pain. Even Ḥijāmah without scarification (Ḥijāmahbila Sharṭ) has a short-term effect in all such conditions, but Ḥijāmah (wet cupping) gives spontaneous as well as long-term benefits in almost all neuromuscular and other pain disorders. Therefore, Ḥijāmah comes as a better alternative with minimally invasive procedures for most neuromuscular disorders.","PeriodicalId":276735,"journal":{"name":"Chettinad Health City Medical Journal","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134637285","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Method: A semi-structural questionnaire was provided to conclude the inquiry. The questions were in English and covered wearing contacts, taking care of them, problems they can create with their eyes, and their advantages. 65 (46 female and 19 male) of the 175 Pharm D students and 139 (95 female and 44 male) of the 406 B Pharmacy students participated in the study while using contact lenses. Result: 7.91% of B Pharm and 13.84% of Pharm D students used contacts for cosmetic purposes, 25.97% (27.33% of B Pharm and 24.61% of Pharm D) for refractive correction, 7.08% (6.47% of B Pharm and 7.69% of Pharm D) for headache relief, and 56.05% (58.27% of B Pharm and 53.84% of Pharm D) for both cosmetic and refractive purposes. Most of them wore soft contact lenses. The most frequent issue (30.93% of B Pharm and 27.69 % of Pharm D) of students who wore contacts was pain, which was followed by redness and irritation. Even though 23.96% (18.70% of B Pharm and 29.23% of Pharm D) also utilised water, the students chose lens solutions because they were aware of their options.

About 537 million adults (20-79 years) are living with diabetes and it is predicted to rise in number to 643 million by 2030 and 783 million by 2045. Despite many treatment options, the havoc of diabetes is increasing day by day, and along with this, it is becoming the causative factor for other diseases too. In Ayurveda, diabetes mellitus type 2 is similar to Madhumeha. Many herbal formulations are mentioned in the Ayurvedic literature for the treatment of Madhumeha in which Triphaladi kwatha is one of them. The present case is about a 39-year-old male patient who presented with weight loss, increase urine frequency, excessive thirst, pain in calf muscle and mild cramps in leg. The laboratory investigations showed increased fasting blood sugar level, post-prandial blood sugar level, and HbA1c. The patient was treated with Triphaladi kwatha (Ghanvati) and was advised proper diet and physical activity. After completion of therapy, a significant improvement was found in weight and other subjective symptoms. Fasting blood sugar level was reduced to 92 mg/dl from 102.9 mg/dl, Post-prandial blood sugar level decreased to 123 mg/dl from 210 mg/dl and HbA1c decreased to 5% from 5.9%.
