Nurses are encountered with different work tasks, and different working hours because of the institution demand and nature of work.

Research into the signs, prevalence, and impact of sleep deprivation and the associated problem of sleepiness is important because medical errors have been linked to sleep deprivation. The aim of the study was to determine the level of sleep deprivation among nurses and its impact on patient care abilities of nurses in selected hospital of Mangalore. Material and Methods:The research design for the study is descriptive cross-sectional design. In this study, the researcher has administered self-constructed check list to the nurses on patient care abilities and rating scale to assess sleep deprivation to find the co-relation......

Midwifery practical registers should be completed and handed in for review at the end of the allocation period of clinical but unfortunately, UNAM fourth year degree nursing students fail to complete their Midwifery practical registers within allocated time. This failure leads to chaos-delayed registration of students by the Nursing Council of Namibia by the end of year they are supposed to graduate because administration work was delayed by not completing their Midwifery practical registers within the allocated time. Amongst different reasons due to less acquired skills, forced to finish the register and students ending up not being competent enough......

Abstract: Negative attitudes toward sero-positive patients have been studied extensively and established among community members and also within healthcare settings. Health-care services have also been described as a source of stigma in studies. However, no published studies addressing this topic have been performed in Kenya's Vihiga county. In this study, affected patients were invited to engage in focus groups or individual interviews, which were audio recorded on mobile phones, transcribed, and analyzed using thematic analysis, in order for the study to investigate sero-positive patients' perceptions of stigma by community members and health care providers in Kenya's Vihiga county. This research included a total of 48 sero-positive patients. The findings indicated that patients were not.....
