Background: The prevalence of diabetes in India has reached alarming levels with 8.7% of population affected as of 2015, which is expected to double in the future. The reasons for the rapid increase in prevalence of diabetes include genetic predilection of Indian population, economic boom, sedentary lifestyle, inadequate follow up and lack of disease awareness. The aim of the study was to overcome the self care deficit which would help patients to be more compliant and better in managing their illness.Methods: The study was conducted at weekly diabetes clinic at AIIMS, Rishikesh in which 2oo patients participated. Two sessions, each of 60 minutes were conducted fortnightly. The patients were educated by trained personnel using specially designed module in patients’ own language. Each group consisted of 10- 15 participants. Participants were tested at the beginning and after the educational programme using a 10 item questionnaire. Data was analysed using MS Excel 2010. Paired t test was used to find any significant difference between pre and post test score.Results: A significant improvement in test scores after education session was noted. Average learning gain was 77.98 % ± 23.27 % after the group education. Sixty four percent participants demonstrated more than 75% learning gain.Conclusion: A dedicated group session programme implemented in an environment conducive to learning with specially designed module has a significant impact on patients’ knowledge (64% participants demonstrated more than 75% learning gain) about the cause and treatment of their disease. The study can be extended to see if it impacts behaviour by tracing changes in glycaemic control.Jour of Diab and Endo Assoc of Nepal 2017; 1(1): 8-11

Skin To Skin

Kangaroo care is a practise that allows moms and fathers to have direct skin-to-skin contact with their infants. It has been demonstrated to promote the mother's mental health, strengthen mother-infant connection, and increase maternal lactation. Many studies feel that returning to the original paradigm of infant-mother early care, rather than our current incubator, bottle, and formula-feeding model, will result in happier and healthier newborns [1]. Objective: 1) To determine whether primigravida women' spouses have any awareness of kangaroo mother care. 2) To assess the efficiency of a planned education programme on kangaroo mother care among primigravida moms' husbands.3) To see if there's a link between post-test knowledge scores on kangaroo mother care among primigravida moms' spouses and certain demographic variables.  Methodology: A total of 60 people took part in the research. Husbands of primigravida women from various hospitals will be used as study subjects. Results: There is a significant difference between pre-test and post-test knowledge scores when measuring effective planned training on knowledge about kangaroo mother care among husbands. The pretest has a mean of 8.18, while the posttest has a mean of 16.30, and the pretest has a standard deviation of 2.855, while the posttest has a standard deviation of 1.710. The t-value is 18.57, and the p-value is 0.000. Conclusion: As a result, the planned education on knowledge about kangaroo mother care among primigravida moms' husband is statistically interpreted. The research hypothesis was accepted in this study, while the null hypothesis was denied.

SUMMARYA 10 min education programme was developed which, if effective in changing the behaviour of pregnant women, would eliminate or greatly reduce the risk of congenital toxoplasmosis. It was taught in 26 randomly selected (case) prenatal classes offered to women early in their pregnancy. The remaining 26 (control) classes received routine class material which did not mention toxoplasmosis. A questionnaire was administered to all women prior to this early class (pre-test) and again after the last prenatal class, held just prior to delivery (post-test). Changes in pet, food and personal hygiene behaviour between the pre- and post-test were determined and a score calculated by adding points for change towards those behaviours recommended in the programme and subtracting points for change in the opposite direction. Cat owners in case classes had a significantly higher score in pet hygiene behaviour than those in control classes (P < 0·05). No significant difference was found between the food or personal hygiene scores of women in case and control classes, possibly because of low power. However, although behaviours did not differ on the pre-test, women in case classes had significantly better cooking methods for roast beef and hamburger on the post-test (P < 0·05 and P < 0·01 respectively). It is concluded that this programme is effective and should be offered to all women in order to reduce congenital toxoplasmosis incidence.

Abstract Background Nursing home staff manage increasingly complex patients yet struggle to access education programmes due to geographical logistical barriers. The aim of this study is to measure the impact on emergency hospital transfers a novel teleconference-delivered palliative care education programme (ECHO) has on patient transfers from nursing homes to emergency departments. Methods Ten interactive sessions were provided to staff from 20 nursing homes, using teleconferencing technology through the “Project ECHO” model. “Transfer forms” were completed by participating staff 6 months before echo, and 6 months from commencement of echo outlining details of emergency hospital transfers. Participating sites must attend 4 or more of 10 sessions for study inclusion. Results Of 20 nursing homes, 15 attended sufficient sessions, and they submitted data regarding 260 emergency transfers over a 12-month period. There was no significant difference in the number of transfers pre vs post ECHO (137 of 260 vs 123 of 260, p=0.62). There was no significant difference in likelihood of hospital admission, length of stay, or number of weekend transfers to hospital (p=0.26, 0.68 and 0.6 respectively). Post-echo, patients were less likely to have pain documented as the primary symptom (11 of 137 vs 1 of 123, p=0.006), and it was more likely that transfer wishes were documented in advance (62 of 137 (45%) vs 82 of 123 (67%), p&lt;0.001). Increase in transfer wishes documentation was explained primarily by an increase in a “for transfer” decision (27 of 62 vs 67 of 82) p=&lt;0.001). Conclusion This teleconference, ECHO-delivered palliative education programme did not affect overall rates of emergency hospital transfers from nursing homes. However, it did significantly lower rates of transfers reporting pain as the primary symptom, tentatively suggesting a possible impact on “reversible” hospital transfers. ECHO significantly increased likelihood of transfer status discussion, while most “extra” discussions resulted in a “for transfer” decision.

The knowledge of anatomy plays an integral role in the education and practice of health care professionals. Cadaveric dissection is the most reliable method to teach the gross anatomy since centuries. Hands-on-educational experiences on cadavers can also stimulate student interest, increase knowledge retention and enhance development of clinical skills. Common problems faced during anatomy dissection are non-availability of individual instructor for each table, Crowding of students in dissection owing to lack of clear, timely and uniform instructions. Hence, the purpose of our study is to evolve a modality that will increase efficiency of dissection, make it more clinically relevant and make students enthusiastically participate in dissection. This modality will contribute more to overall better understanding of human anatomy within limited time period. AIM AND OBJECTIVE: To study the effectiveness of audio-visual aids followed by structured manual instruction in dissection hall teaching and to compare the student’s learning gain between conventional and modified dissection hall teaching. OBSERVATIONS AND RESULTS: During the study period two hundred students were present in First MBBS, anatomy department. Out of these all two hundred students fulfilled the inclusion criteria and participated in the study. Mean post test score of study group was2.84±1.46 where as mean pre test score of control Group was3.7±1.8showing significant difference. The post test score of the study group was almost double the post test score of control group. This finding is statistically very significant. CONCLUSION: Audio-visual aids, structured schedules, and cadaveric dissection were found to be effective in dissection hall teaching in anatomy. It was found to be more effective than conventional method with regard to understanding of the structure, its placement and building of the concepts.

This exploratory study examined the impact of implicit and explicit oral corrective feedback (CF) on the development of implicit and explicit knowledge of Japanese locative particles (activity de, movement ni and location ni) for those who directly received CF and those who observed CF in the classroom. Thirty-six college students in a beginning Japanese language course received either recast (implicit), metalinguistic (explicit) or no feedback during an information-gap picture description activity, and completed a timed picture description test (implicit knowledge) and an untimed grammaticality judgement test (explicit knowledge) in a pre-test, immediate post-test and delayed post-test. The results showed that overall there was no significant difference between CF types, and that CF benefited direct and indirect recipients similarly. Potential factors that might influence the effectiveness of CF, such as instructional settings, complexity of target structures and pedagogy styles, are discussed.

This study aims to investigate whether the use of six selected short stories throughout the duration of a 14-week course could enhance students’ reading comprehension achievement at the end of the semester. Out of the six short stories read, three were chosen as in-class assignments known as ‘Personal Reading Logs’ (hereafter, PRLs). One group of semester two Diploma students taking a reading skills course was selected through a convenience sampling method. A pre-test was conducted by having the students answer a past semester reading quiz of which the results would then be compared to their post-test (final reading exam) results. A paired samples t-test revealed no significant difference in the reading scores of the pre-test and the post-test, t (17) = -.265, p > .05. Since the p-value was bigger than 0.05, this indicated that the mean reading score of the post-test (M = 50.556) was not significantly higher than the mean reading score of the pre-test (M = 49.722). Therefore, the null hypothesis which stated that there was no difference in the mean score of the pre-test and post-test was retained. Overall, the result refuted the findings of other studies promoting the effectiveness of using short stories to enhance L2 reading comprehension achievement.
