The ones with higher self esteem perform better than those with medium or low self-esteem. This study was undertaken to assess the levels of self-concept, self-assessment and assertiveness among among 37 1st year BSc nursing students (female 20, male 17) of Alamdar Memorial College of Nursing & Medical Technology in Budgam, J&K. Data was collected using Rosenberg Standard Self-Esteem scale and Rathus Assertiveness scale. Results showed that majority of the nursing students (50.5%) had low self-esteem, 27.0 percent had average self-esteem and 13.5 percent had high self-esteem. There was significant positive correlation between the levels of self-esteem and assertiveness among students indicating that training should be arranged for nursing students to enhance their skills in interacting with patients, staff and others.","PeriodicalId":76706,"journal":{"name":"The Nursing journal of India","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79241935","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 is one of the most common lifestyle diseases and considered to be a silent killer. Among the geriatric population hypertension is a major problem, presenting the risk of multiple associated co-morbidities. One in every three senior citizen living in old age homes in urban area is diagnosed with hypertension due to many causes. Music therapy helps to reduce the blood pressure among elderly people. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of music therapy on reducing blood pressure among elderly people. A quasi-experimental pre-test, post-test approach with non- equivalent control group design was adopted to assess the effectiveness of the music therapy among 60 patients (30 patients each in the experimental and control group) at old age home Vellodu, Mariya Anthonia old age home and St Joseph' s home for aged, Kodairoad. The elderly patients who satisfied the inclusion criteria were selected as samples based on a non-probability purposive sampling technique. The study revealed that the calculated unpaired ' t' value for the post-test systolic were, t= 9.461 and diastolic t = -11.180, respectively, which showed a very high statistical significance at p'lt;0.001 level. An older adult with hypertension can reduce blood pressure with music therapy, a non-invasive, non-pharmacological, and cost-effective intervention.","PeriodicalId":76706,"journal":{"name":"The Nursing journal of India","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87658038","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}
