Abstract: Background: Neonatal mortality rate (NMR) in Indonesia is still high compared to neighboring countries, but more important is to know which socio-economic and geographical factors are associated with high NMR in certain regions. The aim of this study is to unravel the socio-economic and geographical differences in five regions of Indonesia, to be used by health policy makers to develop policies and budgets that meet specific needs in related to NMR in each region. Materials and Methods: Source of data was the 2015 Intercensal Population Survey (SUPAS) and the 2014 Village Potential Statistics. The study population.....

Abstract: Objectives: Identification and comparison of vein cannulation sites with the conventional method (CM) with the new infrared vein visualizing (VV) device in the upper extremity of 3 groups of subjects: obese, children and patients requiring frequent intravenous cannulation. Materials and Methods: The veins were counted by CM and VV in the same subject by the phlebotomist. A total of 100 subjects were recruited. Results: Medians of counts of veins suitable for phlebotomy were compared in the 3 groups. There was a marked increase in the number of veins visualized by the VV method (p=<0.001). Conclusions: The procedure of phlebotomy can be made easier, with better results in the first attempt, helping in the preservation of the veins, reducing the pain of the patient thereby minimizing pre-analytical errors in diagnostic tests..

Abstract: Puerperal sepsis is an infection of the birth canal in the first two (2) to forty-two (42) days postpartum, usually indicating a high body temperature for at least two of the first fourteen (14) days post-delivery. Even though, the Namibian government is committed in promoting awareness to fight puerperal sepsis, it is still one of the leading causes of maternal death in the country. Research design in this study was Cross Sectional, Descriptive in nature, employing Quantitative approach. Population is the 3rd year degree nursing students at UNAM Main Campus, Namibia. A sample size of sixty-four (64) students was used. Pilot study was carried out on ten (10) 2nd year degree students at UNAM Main Campus. Participants were not harmed or favored, consent form was signed to signify.....

Abstract: Background: The respiratory system contains the organs and structures responsible for providing oxygen to all parts of the body. As with other organs, lung function changes with the normal aging process. As a population ages, quality of life related to decreased pulmonary function in elderly people becomes a common concern. In many normal people a sizable part of the lung is ventilated at a much slower rate than the remainder. It is also established that a change in body position from sitting to recumbent will alter the size of the various subdivisions of the lung volume. Hence the present study was done to find the effects of body position on lung function in Geriatrics.....

Abstract: A safe, settled home is the cornerstone on which individuals and families build a better quality of life, access the services they need and gain greater independence and yet the home can also be the source of wide range of hazards. This study assessed the home based health hazards and associated health problems among rural dwellers in Yakurr Local Government Area of Cross River State, Nigeria. Five objectives and three hypotheses were posed to guide the study. The study adopted a cross sectional descriptive survey design.Asample of 422 participants were drawn from the target population of 66969 men and women from the ages of 20 – 70 years using Lesile Kish's 27 formula.The instruments for data collection were a questionnaire that served as an interview.....

Abstract: A descriptive study to assess the knowledge regarding phototherapy among staff nurses in Muskan Hospital, Unnao with the view to develop information pamphlets. The objectives of the study are 1. To assess the existing knowledge of staff nurses regarding care of new born under phototherapy. 2. To find out the association between the level of knowledge of staff nurses with their selected demographic variables. 3. To develop and distribute the information pamphlets. The research design used for this study was non-experimental. The conceptual frame work used for this study is based on general system Theory developed by Bertanlanffy, 1968. The data was collected to assess the level of knowledge about the care of new born under phototherapy. The data collected were analyzed and interpreted by using descriptive and inferential statistics. Major findings of the study revealed that the knowledge score of the study, 33.66% of the staff nurses have adequates.....
