Abstract: Cervical cancer is the second most common female cancer in India whereas in Bengaluru it is the leading site of cancer in females. The major mode of financing treatment in India is out of pocket (OOP), which accounts for more than three quarters of cancer expenditure in India, is one of the greatest threats to the patients and their families. The study aimed to estimate direct and indirect costs, catastrophic health expenditure, predictors associated with expenditure and financial coping mechanisms of cervical cancer patients. It is a cross-sectional study which was conducted using primary data from cancer patients visiting Regional Cancer Centre during January – February 2017. Total 200 sample was derived using formula n = z2(1-α/2) p*q/d2. The semi structured face to face interview schedule was administered as a data collection tool. Ethical clearance was issued from......

Abstract: An estimated 2.8 million neonatal deaths occurred globally, accounting for 40% of under 5 deaths and more than 50% of infant deaths. The burden of neonatal death is still high in developing countries where most of the causes could be prevented. Sub-Saharan Africa had the highest neonatal mortality rate in 2018 at 28 deaths per 1,000 live births, followed by Central and Southern Asia with 25 deaths per 1,000 live births. From previous studies, there is slow progress in reducing neonatal death in low- and middle-income countries. The broad objective of the study was to investigate the risk factors associated with neonatal deaths at Kericho County Referral Hospital. It was guided.....

Abstract: Early identification of familial gynaecological cancers like breast, ovarian, colorectal and uterine can significantly help reduce morbidity and mortality. This descriptive study was done to identify women at risk for familial cancer and lifestyle risk factors contributing to familial cancer and refer them accordingly for treatment. 500 women who were relatives of patients admitted to the postnatal wards of CMC Vellore and those attending the OG OPD of CMC Vellore participated in this study. The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHSS) hereditary cancer risk assessment for people without cancer form (modified) and the Lifestyle Risk For familial cancer form(along with the demographic form) was used to obtain information regarding familial cancers from the......

Abstract: Background: Falls are distressing to patients, family members, and health care providers and patient education is one approach to falls mitigation. Despite the use of fall prevention protocols, falls continue to occur in the health care organizations. The usage of call bell, to seek help, wear safe footwear, use assistive devices such as walking frames when prescribed, and avoid multi-tasking, are some ways to reduce the risk of injury. Almost half of the falls in the hospital occur during activities related in some way to toileting. Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Self Instruction Module (SIM) on patient knowledge regarding contributing factors and prevention for toileting-related patient falls and injuries. Methods: This pre-experimental study included......
