These development changes are common among both girls and boys; one of such physiological changes among girl is attaining menarche. It makes beginning of a multiple of physical, physiological, and psychological changes in the lives of the adolescent girls. In general, menarche indicates the girl’s maturity and the readiness for marriage and sexual activity. Puberty is a period of rapid physical and personality growth. A girl has entered puberty when she begins to menstruate (Menarche). Puberty for girls is the period for her sexual maturity. There is very little awareness about menstruation among girls when they first experience it. Social prohibitions and negative attitude of elders in discussing the related issues openly have blocked the access of adolescent girls to the right kind of information especially in rural, urban, and tribal community. In first period, more importance must be given to starting of menstruation in women life. To highlight the menstrual hygiene awareness among girls, May 28, is observed as menstrual hygiene day, which aims to break taboos and raise awareness about the importance of good menstrual hygiene management for women and adolescent girls worldwide. Thus, menstrual hygiene practices are greatly emphasized among school girls to promote the reproductive health, which also improves the girl’s self-image and promote their attitude toward good reproductive health. It also avoids the embarrassment of staining their cloth and promote their self-respect among their friends. Good menstrual hygiene enhances their confidence and promote the regular school attendance and prevent environmental pollution. In this review, we will discuss about menarche, menstruation, menstrual hygiene, and knowledge, attitude, and practice about menstruation.","PeriodicalId":445676,"journal":{"name":"Innovational Journal of Nursing and Healthcare","volume":"295 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115133681","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}

It can lead to various complications, including peripheral artery disease (PAD). PAD is a condition characterized by the narrowing or blockage of arteries that supply blood to the limbs, typically the legs. Exercise plays a crucial role in managing both DM and PAD. Buerger-Allen exercises (BAEs), also known as lower extremity exercises, are specific exercises designed to improve circulation in the legs and feet. These exercises are particularly beneficial for individuals with PAD, as they help increase blood flow to the affected limbs, reduce symptoms, and improve overall cardiovascular fitness. BAE has the following steps elevating the legs, pumping the feet, rotating the ankles, bending the knees, and lowering the legs. The exercise starts by elevating the legs to a level above the heart. This position helps to reduce swelling and improve blood flow. These exercises are typically performed in a controlled manner, with multiple repetitions of each movement. The frequency and duration of BAEs may vary based on an individual’s condition and their healthcare provider’s recommendations. It is essential to consult a healthcare professional before starting any exercise regimen, especially if the patient has DM or PAD, to ensure that the exercises are safe and suitable for your specific situation. Many research studies proved that BAE is very effective in reducing PAD among DM patients.","PeriodicalId":445676,"journal":{"name":"Innovational Journal of Nursing and Healthcare","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129564949","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}

Primigravidae experience several physical and emotional changes, which can make them nervous about the birthing process. The pathological fear of pregnancy known as “childbirth fear” is one factor that can contribute to a woman delaying her delivery. It has been found that a woman’s level of childbirth self-efficacy, which is also referred to as labor and delivery confidence, is a crucial indicator of how well she will be able to cope with the physical and emotional challenges that come with giving birth. Prenatal education, prenatal counseling, prenatal training, and role-playing are all examples of psychoeducational intervention techniques that have been shown to have a significant impact on a variety of psychological outcomes, including attitudes toward childbirth, fears associated with childbirth, depression, fear, and anxiety. Their expectations for the birth procedure were elevated as a result of solutionfocused counseling, midwife-supported psychotherapy, and a midwife-led integrated pre-birth training program.","PeriodicalId":445676,"journal":{"name":"Innovational Journal of Nursing and Healthcare","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122014956","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}
