Abstract: The need to take into consideration spirituality in provision of care is assuming a great importance. However, many fields have long been troubled by a lack of conceptual clarity about the nature of spirituality itself. This gave rise to the researcher's interest on spiritual care in nursing. The study utilized a descriptive quantitative design. This research study aimed to explore the perception of both the staff nurse and the patient on (a) spirituality and spiritual care and (b) spiritual well-being using the standardized tool of Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale1 and the Spiritual Assessment Scale2. The study was conducted at Saint Louis University – Hospital of the Sacred Heart (SLU-HSH) between April 2015 to April 2016. Results shows that nurses and patient have good perception of spirituality, spiritual care and spiritual well-being but still patients have higher perception compared to nurses because illness plays an important role.

Abstract: Muscle training plays an important role intreatment of shoulder joint disorders. Strength of one upper extremity (UE) can be used as a comparison for the other one. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the difference in isokinetic peak torque of shoulder joint flexors and extensors in the dominant versus non-dominant UE. Relationship between dominant and non-dominant shoulder joint flexor and extensor muscles was also investigated. Methodology:Shoulder isokinetic measurements were obtained from fifty children (30 boys and 20 girls) with age range 8-12 years at two angular velocities (60◦ and 180◦/sec) during flexion and extension movements.Results: There was significant difference in peak torque of shoulder joint flexors at both speeds and in shoulder joint extensors at velocity.......

Abstract: A needle stick injury (NSI) is defined as an accidental skin-penetrating stab wound from a hollow-bore needle (or any sharp) containing another person's blood or body fluid. Sharps injury (SI) is defined as a skin-penetrating stab wound caused by sharp instruments and accidents in a medical setting. Globally, NSIs are the most common source of occupational exposure to blood and the primary cause of blood-borne infections of HCWs. In India, around 3–6 billion injections are given per year, of which two-third injections are unsafe (62.9%). Aims: The present study is aimed to measure the occurrence of needle stick injury along with post exposure measures and evaluation of the knowledge regarding needle stick injury among nursing student. Nursing students in clinical duties are at high risk. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the month of August to September in 2018. The study participants comprised of 80 nursing students studying in 4th year B.Sc. (N) and 3rd year General Nursing and Midwifery (GNM).
