It helps to increase physiological and cognitive functions. Sleep is defined as transformable condition, where there is a withdrawal from the extrinsic environment. Sleep permits to rejuvenate the physical and physiological function. Disrupted sleep also leads to brain dysfunction and hemodynamic alterations. Materials and Methods: A quasi-experimental study was considered to attain the objectives of the study. On probability, convenient sampling was done. The pre-interventional data were collected on day 0. Eye mask and ear plug were given as intervention from day 1 to day 3.and data were collected on each day. Results: The study was conducted on 60 samples. The study reveals that majority of patients were between 40 and 59 years and out of 60 patients, majority of the patients were female It was found that the patients average sleeping hours at home were 6–9 h and patients had no difficulty in initiating sleep in normal routine sleep. Patients had deprived sleep due to continuous light and sound. The sleep status is improved from day 1 to day 3. There was significant relationship between the heart rate, blood pressure, respiration, and sleep quality; there was no significant relationship between cognitive function and sleep. Conclusion: The present study reveals that the sleep quality was enhanced by the application of eye mask and ear plug which led to changes in the physiological parameters such as blood pressure and heart rate.

The position of the woman during the labor could be freely modified according to her desires and comfort. Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of squatting position on the duration of first stage of labor and the maternal satisfaction with the position. Materials and Methods: A mixed method approach was adopted and the duration of active phase of labor was assessed for the 40 samples. In-depth interview was taken to explore the concern and satisfaction of the mothers with the squatting position. Results: Major findings of the study revealed that the mean duration of the active labor of the experimental group was 224.75 min ± 15.96 while that of the control group was 253.25 min ± 27.24. The mean difference was calculated to be 28.25 and the standard error was found to be 7.06. At the level of P < 0.005, the computed “t” value was 4.03 at the degree of freedom 38. Thus, as per the analysis, squatting position was found to be effective in reducing the duration of active phase of labor. During the qualitative analysis, five themes emerged were experience of mothers, effectiveness of squatting position, issues while squatting, respectful care during the childbirth, and recommendations. Conclusion: The study illustrates that most of the primi-gravida mothers had positive attitude toward squatting and preferred supportive squatting.

Materials and Methods: A quantitative evaluative research approach is used. The quasi-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test research design used. The study was conducted in the selected hospitals in Jabalpur city. A non-probability purposive sampling technique is considered to be most suitable. Three hundred people with Type 2 diabetes in the Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, area who meet the study’s inclusion criteria make up the sample size. Results: The impact of sitting breathing exercises (pranayamas) on blood glucose levels, with a mean score of 100 and a standard deviation (SD) of ± 84.8. Overall post-test means was (100) and SD was (± 85.28). Using a 0.05% t -test, the knowledge between the pre-and post-tests was statistically evaluated. The difference is significant if the estimated t is greater than the value in the table (1.96). The statistically significant change in pre-test and post-test understanding of the effects of sitting breathing exercises (Pranayamas) on blood glucose levels can be attributed to the use of video-assisted instruction. Conclusion: The sitting breathing exercise (pranayama’s) was a universal experience for Type 2 diabetic patients. Video-assisted teaching improved blood glucose levels in Type 2 diabetics. Thus, it might be a daily lifestyle, so blood glucose can be managed well. Health professionals caring for people with T2DM needed to accept the challenge of reducing blood glucose stress through video-assisted teaching.","PeriodicalId":92656,"journal":{"name":"International journal of nursing research","volume":"2013 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135059748","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}
