Fifty older adults were selected through purposive sampling technique from the selected village. Qualitative approach was used to measure physical well-being by interview and quantitative approach was employed to assess psychological well-being by modified psychological general well-being index. Qualitative data analyzed by thematic analysis and quantitative data analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The study findings revealed that, in physical well-being, maximum older adults reported, the daily schedule was totally changed, did not get enough time for doing pleasurable activities, changed their food pattern, sleep was fully disturbed, daily habits were changed by following COVID appropriate behavior, and many discomfort faced in maintaining health during COVID-19 outbreak. The finding of psychological well-being shows, maximum 34 (68%) having moderate level of psychological distress, the domain self-confidence 3.1 ± 30.68 was mostly disturbed. There was a significant association found between the age, education, occupation, performance of basic activity, and vaccination status with the selected demographic variables at P ≤ 0.05 levels. Conclusion: The older adults were considered as vulnerable people as they need more attention in maintaining health during COVID-19 outbreak.","PeriodicalId":92656,"journal":{"name":"International journal of nursing research","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69654687","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}

The area-wise analysis showed comparatively poor mean percentage of knowledge about risk factors (52.8%) diagnosis and treatment (53.5%). Better mean percentage was observed for meaning of CAD (77.35%), signs and symptoms (83%), and lifestyle modifications (75.5%). The study showed 69.6% of women had good lifestyle practices, 19.6% had very good, and 10.8% had average lifestyle practices. None of them had either excellent or poor lifestyle practices.

It poses a barrier to breast-feeding initiation related to delay in maternal-infant contact, maternal pain, and exhaustion. Early ambulation reduces the post-operative complications such as atelectasis, GI discomfort, and circulatory problems. Methodology: A quasi-experimental research design was used for this study carried out in postnatal wards of selected hospitals of the city. The study samples comprised 110 post-cesarean mothers divided into 55 in the experimental and 55 in control group using non-probability purposive sampling technique. Data were collected based on demographic variables, and assessing the post-operative recovery of mothers after the interventions (i.e., early ambulation and progressive exercise) to them through structured nursing assessment sheet. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics such as standard deviation, Karl Pearson’s correlation, Unpaired t-test, and Chi-square test. Results: The analysis findings depict that the corresponding P < 0.05. After intervention of early ambulation and progressive exercise given to mothers in the experimental group, it depicted that majority of the samples 41 (74.55%) had excellent outcome, 14 (25.45%) had good outcome, whereas in control group, 36 (65.45%) had good outcome, and 19 (34.54%) had poor outcome.
