As the largest healthcare professional group, nurses play a vital role in encouraging patients to take action toward achieving both health and sustained development aspirations. The nursing profession is faced with a range of challenges that necessitate an immediate need to invest in healthcare workers. New nurses with superior qualifications are essential to handle these tribulations. It is imperative that student nurses be endowed with the necessary means and resources in order to meet these difficulties during their professional trajectories. So descriptive study was conducted to spot light on the areas of empowerment among the student nurses during their training period. 146 samples were recruited by purposive sampling technique. Tool has two parts demographic variables and domains of empowerment (Communication, stewardship, access to information and resources, training opportunities, research and clinical competence). Data was collected by Google forms. The results showed that student nurses have the ability to communicate effectively and have access to information and resources; however, they require further development of multilingual skills. Stewardship, training opportunities, research, and clinical competency were found to be areas needing improvement as the mean score for most statements was lower than average.","PeriodicalId":72313,"journal":{"name":"Asian journal of nursing education and research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139261437","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}

This includes the kidneys, which make urine, ureters, tubes that carry urine from kidney and the urethra, the tube that carries urine from bladder out of body.1 Urinary tract infections (UTI) are common problems in the female population.8 They are familiar to many women. Approximately 50 % of all women have at least one such infection in their lifetime. Study by Fakhria J. M showed that girl students sometimes use analgesic to reduce the pain caused due to UTI.2,5 According to WHO, Urinary Tract Infections is one of the leading cause of morbidity. About half female population report UTI during some point in their lives. It has high mortality and morbidity rates as well. Generally, women are 10 to 30 times prone to develop UTI as compared to men. UTI is treatable and preventable. But majority of the adolescent girls do not have adequate knowledge on Causes and preventive measures of urinary tract infection.3,4 Parents of adolescent girls should have adequate knowledge on adolescent health so that common diseases that may occur during adolescent period e.g urinary tract infection can be prevented. But research study by Hepsi Bai J revealed that some parents of adolescent girls do not have adequate knowledge regarding adolescent health. The study found that 60% of the parents had adequate knowledge regarding adolescent health.6 Study by Alphonsa Pascal also found that adolescent girls don’t have adequate knowledge on prevention of urinary tract infection and adolescent girls gained knowledge on UTI after planned teaching programme on UTI.7 Aims and Objectives: To assess the knowledge regarding Urinary Tract Infections among the adolescent girls of age group of 13-16 years in Carmel School, Digboi, Assam, to find out association between the knowledge Urinary Tract Infection among the adolescent girls of age group of 13-16 years and selected demographic variables in Carmel School, Digboi, Assam. Research methodology: This was a non-experimental quantitative descriptive research design. This study was conducted among adolescent girls of age group 13-16 years of Carmel School, Digboi. Self structured validated questionnaire in English language were prepared for demographic pro-forma; to assess the knowledge on Urinary Tract Infection. It includes 12 questions on demographic pro-forma, 22 questions on knowledge on Urinary Tract Infection. Results: Researcher assess the level of knowledge on Urinary Tract Infection among the adolescent girls of 13-16 years in Carmel School, Digboi and found that among 40 girls, most of them 32(80%) had moderately adequate knowledge, 5(12.5%) had adequate knowledge and 3(7.5%) had inadequate knowledge on Urinary Tract Infection.

Two standardized tools. Quality of Work Life Evaluation Scale and Spiritual Intelligence Self – Report Inventory were used to access the quality of work life with spiritual intelligence among nurses caring for oncology patients respectively. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: Showed that the mean quality of work life scores of nurses caring for oncology patients was 126.16 and mean spiritual intelligence scores was 63.64. The results also revealed that there was a weak positive correlation between Quality of Work Life and Spiritual Intelligence (r=0.12) which was significant at p<0.05. This shows that as spiritual intelligence increases quality of work life increases. There was no significant association between QOWL and SI with baseline variables. Conclusion: The study showed that there is a significant correlation between Quality of Work Life and Spiritual Intelligence among nurses caring for oncology patients. Therefore, it is important to increase the spiritual intelligence of oncology nurses through a sensitization awareness programme and hence create a work environment where nurses can understand its importance and this will help to achieve a higher quality of work life.","PeriodicalId":72313,"journal":{"name":"Asian journal of nursing education and research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139261595","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: This study aimed to examine and compare the attitude toward mental illness among nursing students at one of the government nursing colleges in Oman. Methods: The study used a cross-sectional approach, using a quantitative, descriptive-comparative design with a sample size of 177 students from first-, second-, and third-year nursing programs. The data were gathered through an online Google Survey Form using an adapted attitude Scale toward mental illness-Singapore Version (AMI-SG). The data was analyzed using descriptive analysis such as frequency, percentage, mean, median, standard deviation, and inferential statistics using ANOVA/t-test. Results: The study findings revealed that the overall attitude of nursing students in one of the public nursing colleges was positive (53.1%) toward the patient with mental illness. Most of the second (59.3%) and third-year (62.1%) students had positive attitudes compared to the first years (40%); however, the difference was not statistically significant (p>.05). Conclusion: Even though there was no significant difference in attitudes towards mental illness among different groups, overall, nursing students harbored a positive attitude towards patients. Overall, students were positive towards social distancing, social restrictiveness, prejudice, and misconception, except for tolerance/support for community care. Therefore, gaining insight into nursing students' tolerance/support towards mental illness needs further evaluation. Early exposure to mental health courses and awareness programs on mental issues may favor a positive attitude among future nursing professionals toward people with mental illness. The study calls for further studies with larger samples to validate our study findings with various health professionals to minimize the stigmatized attitude with a broader scope.","PeriodicalId":72313,"journal":{"name":"Asian journal of nursing education and research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139261548","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}
