Title | : | Methods of Qualitative Nursing Research |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Dr. Meena Ganapathy |
Abstract: Qualitative research is one method of enquiry about truth and facts. It aims to get an in-depth view about human behavior. It is more close to nursing as nursing as a science is about human beings and their response to health and illness. It is well suited to nursing science as both have central concern to describing life experiences and their meanings. This article covers the elementary facts about qualitative research.
Keywords: Qualitative research, its base, limitation, credibility and methods, techniques, coding and presentation.

Title | : | Bystander CPR during out- of- hospital cardiac arrest among patients brought to emergency Department |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Mr. Sajithkumar. P || Dr. Ratna Prakash |
Abstract: Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) refers to the sudden cessation of cardiac mechanical activity with hemodynamic collapse, most frequently due to sustained ventricular tachycardia/ ventricular fibrillation. Almost 8 lakh people die off sudden cardiac arrest every year in India with over 80% of these emergencies occur outside a hospital setting. On average, a victim begins to suffer irreversible brain damage 4 minutes after the cardiac arrest takes place if no CPR (a combination of rescue breathing and chest compressions) is administered. For every minute that a cardiac arrest victim does not receive CPR, his chances of survival drops by 10%. An effective CPR from a bystander can double a victim's chances of surviving a sudden cardiac arrest.

Title | : | UTERINE PROLAPSE – Case Report |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Mrs. C. Muthulakshmi M.Sc (Nsg) || Prof. V.Hemavathy,Principal |
Abstract: The uterus is not a fixed organ – minor variations in position in any direction occur constantly with changes in posture with straining with full bladder or loaded rectum. The descent of the uterus and vagina from its normal position is known as prolapse. The cause of prolapsed is difficult to understand without knowledge of the anatomy of the pelvic floor and the ligamentary supports of the uterus and vagina more ever, the treatment is based upon attempts to restore normal anatomical relations. Anatomical details are described in retroverted uterus predisposes to prolapsed as the uterus lies in the axis of the vaginal and hence the descent becomes easier if the uterine support become easier if the uterine support become weak.
