Abstract: Multiculturalism is becoming more complex affecting the delivery of health care services. With this, the educational system should find ways to deliver quality culturally competent care. This systematic thematic synthesis aims to investigate the effectiveness of immersion program in enhancing the cultural competence of the student nurses using the approach developed by Thomas and Harden 2008. There were ten peer-reviewed primary studies that were included in the review. The study resulted in three themes including different worlds, difficulties and adaptation, and varied learning. It is found out that immersion programs indeed enhance the different attributes of cultural competence including cultural awareness, cultural skill, cultural sensitivity and dynamic process except for cultural knowledge. This shows the need to improve the plans and implementation processes of immersion programs to holistically enhance the cultural competence of the student nurses.

Abstract: The childhood memory of the exhilarating moment when one first learns to balance and ride on the two wheels of a bicycle is unforgettable. Bicycling provides a sense of freedom and mobility, a means for exploration and discovery. It is faster and more efficient than walking, and riders are exposed to nature's elements and social interaction.Cycling can help to protect you from serious diseases such as stroke, heart attack, some cancers, depression, diabetes, obesity and arthritis.Riding a bike is healthy, fun and a low-impact form of exercise for all ages.Cycling is easy to fit into your daily routine by riding to the shops, park, school or work. This research paper encompasses over the evolution of bicycles from ancient times to the present day generation...............

Abstract: Patients, in the hospital, come stumped and frustrated. Sometimes the situations are beyond our control (they had a terrible day, or they are just a natural-born complainer etc.), which sometimes creep into the nurses' usual support. Nurses need to be confident in handling all situation at work place and need to be persistent to deal with them and figure out what they want. So, to inculcate empathy among nursing staff, a one- month campaign "The Midas Touch" was launch by the Department of Nursing across the Apollo Hospitals Groups. This article is showcasing the campaign details at Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals, New Delhi (India). Weekly activities were planned which involved members of non- nursing departments as well like Doctors, Human Resource Department, Food & Beverages, Housekeeping Department etc...........

Abstract: Both breast cancer and thyroid dysfunction are fairly common in the peri and post menopausal age group of females but whether this is an incidental or causal association is not properly known. Thus this study was undertaken to determine the association of thyroid dysfunction with breast cancer, if any and whether it can affect the tumor behaviour? All patients with chief complaints of breast lump were thoroughly examined and a detailed clinical history was taken. Age matched females for control group and Benign Breast Diseases (BBD) group were also included for comparison. Blood samples were collected from all for estimation of FT3, FT4 and TSH. All the cancer cases included underwent detailed histopathological and immunohistochemical (IHC) evaluation for ER, PR and Her 2neu of the surgical specimen............

Abstract: Leaning on the theoretical assumptions of the job demand-resources model this cross-sectional survey investigated the moderating role of career growth prospects in burnout-job involvement link among female nurses. One hundred and twenty (120) female nurses between the ages of 20 to 59 years (M = 41.90, SD = 7.33) were sampled using Multi-stage sampling (cluster and purposive). Weng (2010) 12-item career growth prospects scale, Maslach and Jackson (1986) 22- item burnout inventory and Lodahl and Kejner (1965) 20-item job involvement scale were administered for data collection. The results revealed no relationship between burnout and job involvement, R2 =.020, F=1.79, P >.05, and no interactions of career growth prospects and burnout on the outcome of the criterion variable (job involvement), R2 = .011, F= 1.33, P>.0 while only career growth prospects yielded a significant interaction outcome with job involvement with β = -.22, P <.05. The findings were discussed and recommendations made.
