UTIs are much more common in women than in men. Urinary tract infection during adolescence is related to many factors like low water intake, infrequent voiding and poor menstrual and sexual hygiene. Aim: The aim of the study was to determine the effectiveness of planned teaching programmed on knowledge and practices regarding prevention of UTI Material and Method: A true-experimental design is undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness planned teaching programme on knowledge and practice regarding prevention of UTI. The study consisted of 100 adolescent girls, 50 in each experimental and control group who were selected with two stage cluster sampling technique. The structured knowledge questionnaire and structured practices questionnaire were used to collect data. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. Findings: The findings reveal that majority of adolescent girls (49%) belonged to the age group of 15-16 years and were Hindu (50%). The mean pre-test knowledge score was in experimental group 12.04±3.29 and control group11.38±3.28 respectively while the mean pre-test practice score was in experimental group 12.94±2.85 and control group11.82±2.48 respectively. The level of knowledge and practice regarding prevention of UTI of subjects who were exposed to PTP was significantly better than that of the control group at 0.05 level of significance. However, there is positive correlation between pretest knowledge and practice scores of adolescent girls in both groups. Pretest level of knowledge of adolescent girls and place of residence whereas, practice and educational status of parents was significantly associated. Conclusion: The results of the study concluded that the knowledge and practice of adolescent girls could be improved by providing PTP.","PeriodicalId":392369,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nursing & Midwifery Research","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132076101","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}

Non-adherence to lifestyle modification and medication regimen among Coronary Heart disease CHD patients post Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) is a major area of concern. It is essential for post CABG patients to adhere with the prescribed regimen to prevent complications and to save their life. Smart phone applications have the potential to address the complexity of non-adherence behaviour regarding both medical treatments and lifestyle modification. Objectives: The objectives of the study were to assess the level of adherence with lifestyle modifications and drug regimen, to identify factors contributing to adherence with lifestyle modifications and drug regimen among post CABG patients to establish association between adherence with lifestyle modification and drug regimen and selected socio-demographic variables i.e. age, sex, education, income and marital status and to develop and disseminate mobile application for modifying lifestyle and improving adherence to drug regimen. Methodology: A descriptive research design included 50 post CABG patients who were attending cardiac surgery OPD during data collection period and were selected by purposive sampling technique. Data was gathered through interview schedule and was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics using software SPSS 10. Results: It showed that more than half of the subjects (52%) were non-adherent to lifestyle modification and only (48%) were adherent to lifestyle modification. Study also revealed that majority of subjects (80%) were adherent to drug regimen and only (20%) were non-adherent to drug regimen. Among factors contributing to adherence, knowledge about importance of adherence to diet and exercise were having most significance. Busy schedule found to be an important factor affecting adherence to exercise regimen. Motivational factors like support from family member or partner in following diet exercise and drug regimen were found very significant. There were no significant association found between selected variables i.e. age, sex, education, income, marital status of subjects and their level of adherence. Conclusion: The study concluded that the majority of the subjects were non-adherent to lifestyle modification but majority of them are adherent to drug regimen. Among factors contributing to adherence, knowledge, time, motivation, beliefs and forgetfulness were significant. There were no significant association found between level of adherence and selected socio-demographic variables.","PeriodicalId":392369,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nursing & Midwifery Research","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125321377","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: The primary objective of the study was to assess the Knowledge, Perception and Practice of regular exercise regime among elderly women and to determine the factors influencing regular exercise regime among elderly women. Methods: The quantitative research approach with an exploratory survey research design was selected. 100 elderly women belonging to age group of 60-80 years were selected using purposive sampling technique from Tughlakabad extension, an urban area of Delhi. A structured interview schedule was used to collect the data. The data obtained was tabulated in Microsoft Excel Spread Sheet and was analyzed in terms of objective of the study using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The findings revealed that majority of the women were having average knowledge (80%) and good perception (89%) but almost half of them (48%) were having poor practice of regular exercise. The most common reasons for non-adherence to regular exercise regime were that exercise can be replaced with house hold works (71%) and difficulty to find time from busy schedule (67%). Knowledge and perception, knowledge and practice were found to be significantly related. A significant association was observed with knowledge regarding exercise regime and educational status of women whereas practice was found significantly associated with their family income, education and working status. Conclusion: The study findings revealed that although the elderly women had good perception and average knowledge about the regular exercise regime, their practice for the same was poor. It was observed that elderly women had access to public amenities like parks for walking and open gym for practicing different exercises so there is a need for motivation, encouragement and support from the family members and society so that they can utilize these facilities.","PeriodicalId":392369,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nursing & Midwifery Research","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131501143","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}
