Objectives: To increase the knowledge and empower women aged ≥20 years with the help of BEHENA in correctly performing BSE and to identify the perception and challenges encountered by BEHENA in promoting BSE.\u0000Methods: A mixed-methods study design will be employed, wherein in the first phase, local women satisfying eligibility criteria will be selected as BEHENA and trained in BSE. In the second phase, these BEHENA workers will sensitize and train the study participants in BSE. In the third phase, the participants will be periodically monitored to monitor BSE sustenance practice. Finally, focus group discussions will be conducted to identify their perceptions and challenges encountered in promoting BSE.\u0000Results: An improvement in awareness levels and empowerment of rural women with the skills necessary to perform accurate and effective BSE.\u0000Conclusion: Upon the completion of the project, the best practices and lessons learned during the entire duration of implementation will be documented.

The psychological distress of infertility, combined with the demanding nature of ART, has been widely acknowledged, yet a comprehensive examination of the psychological impacts has remained elusive. This study examined the psychological repercussions of hormonal medications used in IVF, addressing the complex interplay of hormones and their effects in each stage of the IVF process. This review followed PRISMA guidelines and included studies from PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect. A total of nine papers were collected. The findings of this study identified that depression, anxiety, mood swings, irritability, sleep disturbances, and cognitive changes were the most commonly seen medically induced psychological effects among the IVF patients. This review offers a holistic understanding of the psychological intricacies of IVF treatment, highlighting the imperative need for a more comprehensive approach to address the emotional wellbeing of individuals undergoing fertility procedures.","PeriodicalId":430059,"journal":{"name":"National Journal of Community Medicine","volume":"59 16","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141275784","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}

Parents of children with ASD were recruited through convenience sampling at Hospital (n = 230). The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) assessed psychological stress. Independent-sample t-tests and one-way ANOVA were used to analyze the data.\u0000Results: The average score for the PSS among parents with children diagnosed with ASD was 19.83±6.13. Parents with higher educational attainment reported lower psychological stress compared to those with lower degrees. Parents of firstborn children diagnosed with ASD experienced greater stress than parents of children diagnosed later. Parents with one child with ASD reported higher stress compared to parents with two or three children. No significant difference in stress levels was observed between mothers and fathers.\u0000Conclusion: This study highlights the influence of educational level, child's birth order, and family size on parental stress in families with ASD children.

The objective is to find out the efficacy of medical adherence on quality of life among CAD Patients.\u0000Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 130 cardiac patients, who were coming in OPD of various urban centres of Bhopal. Data collection was done from September to October 2022 using a purposive sampling framework. Medical adherence and quality of life were assessed using self-administered MAS-CAD and WHOQOL-BREF respectively. Statistical analysis: Chi-squared test, Fisher's exact test, Kruskal Wallis and Mann Whitney test were used. The correlation between medication adherence and quality of life was analysed using the Spearman rank correlation coefficient.\u0000Results: The majority of the participants reported high (58.0%) medical adherence and were significantly correlated with variables like gender, occupational status, level of physical activity, and surgical history. Qol (<0.001), and its domains (physical, psychological and environmental) were also significantly correlated with medical adherence.\u0000Conclusion: Better Medical adherence was associated with a high quality of life among CAD patients. Males and Homemakers or unemployed had better medical adherence. A better understanding of the factors affecting medical adherence and quality of life is necessary.","PeriodicalId":430059,"journal":{"name":"National Journal of Community Medicine","volume":"170 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141414013","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}

Insufficient sample sizes compromise the robustness of findings, whereas excessively large samples inflate costs and compromise data integrity. This article meticulously explains the multifaceted factors that outline sample size determination, encompassing various factors such as research design, types of hypotheses, error thresholds, effect size considerations, validity and precision. It investigates into the scope of methodologies available for sample size computation, spanning from intricate statistical formulas to pragmatic tabular approaches. Moreover, it underscores the significance of post-hoc power analysis in retrospectively evaluating completed studies, shedding light on their statistical robustness. This literature review furnishes a nuanced understanding of the sample size estimation landscape in clinical trials, delineating their strengths, limitations, and real-world applications. Anticipating participant attrition assumes paramount importance for proactively adjusting sample sizes, ensuring studies remain methodologically sound. Equipped with a profound grasp of these principles, researchers are empowered to conduct scientifically rigorous and impactful clinical trials, furnishing compelling evidence to inform judicious decision-making in healthcare interventions.","PeriodicalId":430059,"journal":{"name":"National Journal of Community Medicine","volume":"42 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141281223","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}

After 36 weeks of pregnancy, the researcher introduced the women in the experimental groups the Lamaze techniques. The length of labor and neonatal outcomes between the primigravid and multigravid women in the intervention group and the standard care group were used to measure the result.\u0000Results: The mean duration of labor was shorter in the intervention groups. The Mann-Whitney U test indicated a statistically significant difference in the duration of labor between women who practiced Lamaze breathing during pregnancy and those who did not (U = 5742, p < 0.05).\u0000Conclusion: The present study concludes that Lamaze techniques during the antenatal period shortens labor duration and accelerates labor progress, hence facilitating natural childbirth.","PeriodicalId":430059,"journal":{"name":"National Journal of Community Medicine","volume":"49 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141281457","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}
