Solely, a research article can have implications in clinical practice if it has followed a clear and through path and can be a savior for the patients. Envisaging a research idea, practically working on it, writing a research article by a health care provider and printing an article by editors are both crucial quality concerns. Mutually they should know the expectations of each other.","PeriodicalId":286507,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multan Medical & Dental College","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121587303","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}

The convenience sampling technique was utilized for the recruitment of participants from Nishter Hospital, Multan. All the patients visiting the OPD of the Gynecology department after approximately one year of the last delivery were included in the study. Participants with red flags including urinary tract infection, bladder calculus, prostatic hyperplasia, and neoplasm were omitted from the survey. Data was collected by using a well-developed questionnaire for prevalence containing questions pertaining to age, parity, and symptoms like Loss of urine while, lifting weights, exercising, coughing, sneezing, laughing, and during sexual intercourse to find out the association of symptoms with the parity status of the women. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 21 was used to analyze the data. The chi-square test was used to assess the association between urinary incontinence and parity.Results: In this study, 57 women had single children, 39 women had two children, 47 had three children and 107 women had >3 children. Of the women who reported the loss of urine while lifting weights 17.5% (primiparous), 30.8 % (2 children), 36.2 % (3 children), and 47.6% were multiparous. The primiparous Women who reported urine leakage during exercise were 12.2% and multiparous was 30.8%. 17.7% of women >3 children stated un-intentional loss of urine during coughing, sneezing, or laughing while only 8.8% primiparous reported the un-intentional urine loss. During sexual intercourse none of the primiparous experienced leakage of urine while 4.6% of multiparous complained about the loss of urine during sexual intercourse.Conclusion: The prevalence of stress urinary incontinence is strongly associated with the parity status of women.","PeriodicalId":286507,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multan Medical & Dental College","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126894929","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}

The sample was selected using a nonprobability consecutive sampling technique. A closed-ended questionnaire was used to gather the appropriate information. A total of 16 questions were asked to measure the satisfaction of the respondents with the services. Response to each question was measured on a 5 points Likert Scale. The composite score of each respondent ranged from 16-80. The level of satisfaction on the basis of the composite score was divided into three categories, the score ≥ 65 was categorized as very good, the score in the range 50-64 was categorized as good, the score between 35-50 was satisfactory and score ≤ 35 was taken as poor. Data were analyzed by using the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 21. The chi-square test was used considering p ≤ 0.05 as significant.Results: The proportion of patients having a very good level of satisfaction was 27.3% while 17.2% had a satisfactory level of satisfaction. Satisfaction of the respondents was not significantly associated with the age of the respondents (p= 0.383) Variables including respondent's education (p = 0.008), gender of the respondents (p= 0.000), and monthly family income (p = 0.021) were significantly associated with patient's satisfaction.Conclusion:  Education, gender, and monthly family income are key determinants of patient satisfaction with healthcare services.","PeriodicalId":286507,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multan Medical & Dental College","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133593479","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}

The selected participants were divided into two groups by Lottery method. The 40 participants in the test group were given an ice pack at the site of injection before the administration of local anesthesia and the other 40 participants in the control group were given local anesthesia without an ice pack. The intensity of pain was estimated by Venham 's pain scale and SEM (sound, eye, motor) Scale.Results: Total no. of participants was 80. Among 40 patients who were administered cryotherapy 5 (12.5%) experienced pain during local anesthesia administration. While all participants of the control group (without cryotherapy) experienced pain during local anesthesia. In the control group, the SEM scale revealed a painful reaction to sound, eye, and motor variables. The mean Values of the SEM scale in the study group were 1.00, 1.20, 1.12, while the mean Values of the SEM scale in the control group were 2.15, 2.25, 1.90 for Sound, Eye, and Motor respectively.Conclusion: Cryotherapy is an effective method to decrease Nociception senses at the site of application of local anesthesia. Cryotherapy can be applied to children having stress and panic during dental treatment.","PeriodicalId":286507,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multan Medical &amp; Dental College","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129364368","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}
