Abstract: This study has focused on the functioning of 10 SHG's located in Venkatahalli and Heggadehalli villages of Bangalore rural district comprising of 200 farmwomen mainly belonging to marginal and landless category with age group of 18-35 years. The women members of SHG's were found to save a portion of their meager income and pool that money for lending among them at an interest decided by the group. A close look at the pattern of lending revealed that most part of the credit was used for improving the sustainability of their agriculture and economic status as the loans were availed for crop cultivation, purchase of milch animals and sericulture activities.............

Abstract: Background: Children undergoing open heart surgery may have quick and considerable changes in mean arterial pressure reading that may lead to decreased tissue perfusion. Mean arterial pressure monitoring pointed to rectifying deviations before the consequences of either hypertension or hypotension are recorded. The bedside measurement of continued mean arterial pressure reading has been routinely obtainable noninvasively or invasively. Aim: to assess mean arterial pressure monitoring among pediatric patients after open heart surgery. Design: A descriptive study was used...............

Abstract: Testicular cancer (TC) is the most common cancer among young males. Morbidity and Mortality from TC is high in low income countries due to late presentation, poverty and scarce resources for management. Early detection of the disease leads to increased cure rate (96%); early detection can be facilitated if men are knowledgeable and encouraged to practice TSE. A descriptive research with a sample of 255 undergraduate students was used for the study. The students were stratified based to their departments and level of study and convenient sampling was used to select the respondents. A self structured questionnaire was used for data collection...............

MaterialandMethod:The study used a focus group interview method with six semi-structured questionnaires. Findings:The majority of the students stated that the skill-building practices given in the lab were useful before they started to work. The students stated that the models in the skill development areas are new and mechanically controllable by external guidance and that the inclusion of a smallnumber of learners in thefield of learning by dividing the application courses into two separate groups constitutes a chance for more than one application. Through the case studies on the models, the students said that they helped them to feel well before going out to the clinic area. However, they think that they are carrying out few case studies because the application hours are insufficient.................

Abstract: The internship nursing experience is a valuable prospect for new nurses to gain practice in a real world settings under a supporting and experienced supervision. However, interns are encountering a lot of stressors that could hamper their work outcomes and even their overall wellbeing. The high levels of perceived stress associated with nursing were reported by many researches. High perceived stress along with the demanding nature of the nursing profession requires high levels of emotional intelligence to keep up with the work burden. On the other hand, hope is a concept that represents a certain degree of certainty about outcomes. So, emotionally intelligent people by the essence of their traits...............

Abstract: Background: Hemophilia is a coagulation disorder arising from a genetic defect of the X chromosome; the defect can either be inherited or result from spontaneous gene mutation. In each type of hemophilia (A, B, and C), a critical coagulation protein is missing, causing individuals to bleed for long periods of time before clotting occurs. Objectives: 1-Assess the pediatric nurses' knowledge toward hemophilia in children. 2-Find out the factors that affecting the knowledge of the sample. Subjects and methods A descriptive study was conducted on pediatric nurses who were dealing with the children who have hemophilia, carried out in Nasiriya city / Heredity Blood Disease Center starting from May / 2016 to April/2017................

Abstract: Intraoperative hypothermia is a common complication. Many complications can be developed as a result of intraoperative hypothermia including postanesthesia shivering and wound infection, Therefore the aim of the current study was to evaluate the impact of induced normothermia on occurrence of post anesthetic shivering and wound infection among patients undergoing abdominal surgeries. A convenient sample consists of 60 adult male and female patients who was undergo abdominal surgery (hernia repair except inguinal hernia repair, open cholecystectomy) at one of the university hospitals in Cairo governorate was recruited to fulfill the aim. A quasi–experimental design (posttest control group design) was utilized to achieve the aim...............
