The present study was intended to assess probable causes of death in rural areas of Anand district of Gujarat State by implementing “Verbal autopsy tool.”\u0000Material and Methods: A Cross-sectional study was conducted where all recorded 227 deaths from six villages of selected areas during January 2017 to December 2018 were considered for the study. Multiple steps were employed in conducting verbal autopsy including staff training, development of study questionnaires, physician’s involvement in assigning causes of death etc. The data analysis was performed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Software with Version 24.\u0000Results: Out of 227 deaths, the maximum deaths were attributed to non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The predominant NCDs among deceased individuals were cardiovascular diseases (66.01%), malignancy (21.56%), chronic pulmonary diseases (9.80%) and Diabetes Mellitus type 2 (2.63%). Among communicable diseases, nearly 48% of deceased individuals had bacterial infections including Tuberculosis followed by viral infections including HIV (31%), parasitic infections (21%).\u0000Conclusions: Despite few limitations, lay reporting of deaths supplemented with physician assignment of cause of death for verbal autopsies, remains a practicable strategy to record the various patterns of mortality reliably for unattended deaths.","PeriodicalId":430059,"journal":{"name":"National Journal of Community Medicine","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114613194","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}

Association between categorical data were analysed using chi square test. Correlation between two quantitative variables was tested using Spearman’s rank correlation, while Mann Whitney U test was performed to compare the differences between two groups.\u0000Results: Proportion of participants with low, moderate and high perceived stress were 18.9%, 67.2% and 13.9% respectively. Higher academic year, opting career by compulsion, history of long-term illness and receiving no support from family were associated with high stress. There was significant positive correlation between age, problem focused coping, avoidant coping, adaptive coping and maladaptive coping scores with PSS-10.\u0000Conclusions: Complete stress-free nursing career might be a stretch, but it is imperative to identify the stressors to alleviate the level of perceived stress among the nursing students.","PeriodicalId":430059,"journal":{"name":"National Journal of Community Medicine","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123609741","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}

As a part of audit system, an expert panel consisting of paediatricians and obstetricians was formed for each district. The panel met every month and received information about perinatal deaths occurring in the hospitals (government and private) apart from the community in these districts. The panel considered available information about survival chances and care provided to decide if a perinatal death was preventable, possibly preventable or not preventable.\u0000Results: Proportion Of identified preventable and possibly preventable perinatal deaths in Koppal District (60%, 20%) was higher than Dakshina Kannada district (34.4%, 30.2%).
