Abstract: Hospital is a place of almighty, a place to serve the patient. Since beginning, the hospitals are known for the treatment of sick persons but we are unaware about the adverse effects of the garbage and filth generated by them on human body and environment. Now it is a well established fact that there are many adverse and harmful effects to the environment including human beings which are caused by the "Hospital waste" generated during the patient care. Health personnel should serve as a spring board to renewed activities for the health and happiness of humanity. Nurses are thus the challenge to assimilate knowledge, attitude and develop critical thinking skills necessary to apply BMW Management knowledge on self protection practices. They can apply self protection and prevention measure in the daily working in hospital. The objective of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of STP on BMW Management among Nurses working in selected Hospitals of Indore, MP. The research design was...........

Abstract: Alzheimer's disease is an irreversible, progressive brain disease that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills, and eventually even the ability to carry out the simplest tasks. As disease advances, symptoms can include problems with language, disorientation, mood swings, loss of motivation, difficulty to manage self-care and decreased social interaction. Alzheimer's disease will cause a slow decline in memory, thinking and reasoning skills. Gradually, bodily functions are lost, ultimately leading to death. Symptoms of Alzheimer's will appear usually after the age of 60. The normal aging process occurs in every individual's lifespan. Each and every individual is involved in this process and none of one can escape from it. When the individual reaches to old age they will be so vulnerable to the changes............

Abstract: Present study aim towards comparing the effects of five weeks of vibration training and resistance training on quadriceps muscle strength in collegiate male athletes.20 healthy collegiate male athletes were recruited, based on inclusion and exclusion criteria in a pre-post experimental study. Randomization of the subjects was done in two equal groups, group A (n=10) and group B (n=10). Group A received vibration training programme (resistance training and direct vibration), 3 sessions per week for five weeks, while group B received resistance training programme, 3 sessions per week for five weeks. Direct vibration stimulus was given using BeurerTM vibrator of 50 Hz and resistance training was set basis daily adjusted progressive resistive exercise protocol.Muscle strength, as one repetition maximum...........

Abstract: Telenursing refers to the use of telecommunications and information technology to provide nursing care at a distance, which may help solve increasing shortages of nurses, reduce both travel distance and time, and keep patients out of the hospital. It is especially useful for diabetes patients who have problems of far distance to the health care clinics or need a long time waiting for visiting a doctor. Aim of the study: To determine the effect of tele-nursing (phone-based follow-ups) on self-efficacy, healthy lifestyle, and glycemic control in type 2 diabetic patients. Design: A quasi - experimental design was adopted. Setting: The study was conducted at medical department and endocrinology outpatient clinic of Menoufia University Hospitals. Sample: One hundred patents with type 2 diabetes were enrolled in the study and randomly divided into two groups of experiment and control based on random numbers table. The experimental group received telephone counseling and follow-up intervention for 12 weeks by the researcher and the follow-ups included instructions on self-care and advices to follow their diets, exercise, and insulin titration..............

Abstract: Dysmenorrhea, experienced by about 64.25% of Indonesian women, is a common gynecological disorder that can be disruptive at school, work, or home. It is caused by several factors, one of which is the increase in the production of prostaglandins. For the treatment of dysmenorrhea various methods have been suggested such as acupressure and sacral plexus massage. For this reason, this study sought to obtain the evidence of the effectiveness of acupressure in reducing dysmenorrhea pain. By employing the experimental design using pretest and posttest with control group, students of SMA (Senior High School) Pahlawan Jember afflicted with dysmenorrhea were purposively selected as samples. The data were garnered from questionnaire asking the respondents to determine the intensity of their pain using NRS (Numerik Rating Scale). The samples were divided into four groups of five respondents each.............
