In the last few years, hand phones have become an integral part of our lives. The number of mobile cellular subscriptions is constantly increasing every year. Mobile phone addiction and withdrawal from mobile network may increase anger, tension, depression, irritability and restlessness which may alter psychological balance, interpersonal relationship and family life. Keeping this in mind a cross sectional study was conducted to assess the impact of mobile phone use on marital relationship and family life in a selected residential area of Faridabad. A quantitative research approach was adopted and the sample of the study comprises of 160 married persons from a selected residential area of Faridabad by non-probability convenience sampling technique. Smart phone addiction scale-small version (SAS-SV) was used to assess the mobile phone addiction among married couples and structured rating scales were used to assess the impact of mobile phone use on marital relationship and family life. The data gathered was analysed and interpreted using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings of the study revealed that a substantial number of married couples were addicted to mobile phone. It was found that there was significant relationship between the gender of the married couples and mobile phone addiction and mobile phone addiction and its impact on family life. Judicious use of mobile phone will help the couples to use their time and resources more productively. \u0000How to cite this article:Jomy A, Sharma V, Fatima J.

Quantitative descriptive research approach was adopted for the study. The sample for the present study comprised of 50 chronic renal failure patients undergoing hemodialysis. Purposive sampling technique was used. A structured knowledge questionnaire and an expressed practice checklist were used to collect the data. \u0000Results: It showed that the knowledge score of majorities of patients i.e. 43 (86%) with chronic renal failure undergoing haemodialysis had inadequate knowledge about dietary regulation whereas only 7 (14%) of patients with chronic renal failure undergoing haemodialysis had adequate knowledge about dietary regulation. The expressed practice score revealed that nearly two third of patients with chronic renal failure undergoing haemodialysis had average dietary practice i.e. 30 (60%), 18 (36%) had poor dietary practice and only 2 (4%) patients with chronic renal failure undergoing haemodialysis had good dietary practice. The co-efficient of correlation between knowledge and expressed practice score of dietary regulation (-0.083), was not found to be significant at 0.05 level for the degree of freedom 48. This shows that knowledge of chronic renal failure patients undergoing haemodialysis about dietary regulation was inversely but non-significantly correlated with their dietary practices. \u0000How to cite this article:Ranadive JP, Sharma V, Khan F.

The technique of using the bag can be taught to student nurses in different ways. The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of video-assisted vs. demonstration method of teaching bag technique to student nurses from selected nursing colleges, Delhi. \u0000Methods: The conceptual framework was based on the systems model. The quantitative approach was adopted for the study with quasi experimental only post-test research design. Variables were age, gender and previous academic performance of students. The sample of present study comprised of 90 second year B. Sc. Nursing student nurses from selected nursing colleges of Delhi. The simple random sampling technique (lottery method) was used for selecting 90 B. Sc. Nursing II year students. The structured observation check list was used to assess the effectiveness of video assisted and demonstration method. A total of 11 experts from different fields established the content validity of the tool. Reliability was established through inter observer, percentage agreement method and it was found to be reliable. The method of data collection was direct observation technique. \u0000Result: The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics in accordance with the objectives of the study. The obtained mean difference between video assisted and demonstration groups was found to be statistically significant as evident from t value of 12.11 for df (60) at 0.05 level. \u0000Conclusion: The study findings revealed that the Video assisted and Demonstration groups were homogenous and comparable. It is inferred that the video assisted method of teaching was more effective than demonstration method of teaching among student nurses.
