Although alcohol dependence is most severe problem, less severe drinking problem can also be dangerous. Alcoholism is a condition that results in the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, despite health problems and negative social consequences. Alcoholism is also known as alcohol dependence, is a disease that includes alcohol craving, withdrawal symptoms, physical symptoms, and psychological symptoms like anxiety, depression, suicidal tendencies etc., This study was aimed to assess the effectiveness of biofeedback assisted progressive muscle relaxation on reduction of anxiety and depressive symptoms among alcoholics in Krishna Nursing home Coimbatore. This study adopted an evaluative approach, and made use of true experimental randomized pretest and post test control group design. Conceptual framework adopted for this study was the Modified Roy’s adaptation theory (1984). A total of 60 samples out of which 30 samples for experimental group and 30 for control group using simple random sampling (consecutive sampling) who fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Pretest was done for both experimental and control group to assess the Anxiety and depressive symptoms using Beck anxiety scale and Beck depressive Inventory scale respectively. Biofeedback assisted progressive muscle relaxation was administered to the experimental group for 30 minutes once a day for 10 days and routine treatment for control group. Post test was done for experimental and control group using same above mentioned scales. The gathered data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The independent t value of anxiety was 9.324 and depressive symptoms value was 8.42which was significant at P<0.05 level respectively. The study findings revealed that biofeedback assisted progressive muscle relaxation were beneficial ad there was a significant reduction in anxiety and depressive symptoms among alcoholics in experimental group.","PeriodicalId":72313,"journal":{"name":"Asian journal of nursing education and research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84719920","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}

Food customs are speculated to not only influence the present lifestyle but also to induce gynecological disorders such as dysmenorrhea and irregular menstruation daily eating habits of the women significantly affect reproductive changes. The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the correlation between the practice of diet on dysmenorrhea and occurrence of dysmenorrhea among adolescent girls in a selected nursing college at Kollam. Methodology: Quantitative approach with correlational research study undertaken in Holy Cross College of Nursing, Kollam. Non probability purposive sampling was used as sampling technique. The samples consist of 60 adolescent girls. The self-prepared and content validated structured questionnaire, checklist and WaLLIDD Score were used for the data collection. Data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics. Result: The results showed that among 60 adolescent girls, 40% (24) have adequate knowledge and 60% (36) have moderate knowledge. In case of practice of diet on dysmenorrhea, 22(36.7%) has good practice and 38(63.3%) have poor practice. Karl Pearson co-efficient of correlation r =-0.107 shows that the practice of diet on dysmenorrhea was negatively correlated with occurrence of dysmenorrhea. At 0.05 level of significance, there is no association between knowledge on dysmenorrhea and selected sociodemographic variable. Conclusion: The study outcome revealed that the practice of diet on dysmenorrhea was inversely proportional to the occurrence of dysmenorrhea among adolescent girls.","PeriodicalId":72313,"journal":{"name":"Asian journal of nursing education and research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87030206","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}

Electrocardiography is the most commonly used diagnostic test in cardiology. Nurses being a member of health team should be able to interpret ECG finding up to her extent of practice needed in clinical settings. Objectives: 1. To assesses the level of knowledge regarding ECG interpretation among second year B.Sc. nursing students. 2. To assess the effectiveness of structured teaching programme (STP) on level of knowledge regarding ECG interpretation among second year B.Sc. nursing students. 3. To determine the association between pre-test knowledge scores regarding ECG interpretation with selected sample characteristics. Methodology: The research design used for this study was pre experimental, one group pre-test post-test design. The study was conducted at St. Philomena’s College of Nursing in Bengaluru, Karnataka. The sample size selected for this study consists of 60 2nd year B.Sc. nursing students. Non- probability consecutive sampling technique was used to select the samples. The tool used in this study was socio-demographic profile of nursing students and structured knowledge questionnaire. Result: In the pre-test, none of the samples had good knowledge, whereas 4 (6.7%) samples had average knowledge and 56(93.3%) of them had poor knowledge. In the post-test, 9(15%) had good knowledge, whereas 26 (43.3%) samples had average knowledge and 25 (41.7%) of them had poor knowledge. The mean post- test knowledge (31.45) score was higher than the mean pre-test (15.12). The scores predicted the significant difference (16.33) at p<0.05 level. The calculated “z” value was (10.96) at p <0.05 level of significance, which indicated the significant difference in the level of knowledge before and after the implementation of structured teaching program. It was also found that among socio-demographic variables none had association with the knowledge of 2nd year B.Sc. nursing students. Conclusion: From the findings of the study, it was concluded that the structured teaching programme was effective in improving the knowledge of 2nd year B.Sc. nursing students. Periodic updating of knowledge and skill regarding ECG interpretation must be strictly done among nursing students through repeated classes, demonstrations and assessments.","PeriodicalId":72313,"journal":{"name":"Asian journal of nursing education and research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84105727","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}
