Shift work is one of the essential parts of health care sector and it cannot be abolished. Shift work not only affects the physiological health of the health professionals but also adversely affect their psychological and social health. Therefore, special attention should paid to this area and efforts should be made to develop methods and strategies for reducing the negative effects of shift work on physiological, psychological and social health of health professionals. This study investigates the prevalence and effect of shiftwork disorder among the health professionals and its association with the selected demographic variables......

Abstract: This study investigated the relationship between Perceived Parental Style and Emotional Intelligence among Student Nurses. One hundred sixty five student nurses (140 girls & 25 boys) completed Parental Bonding Instrument (1) and Emotional Quotient Self Assessment (EQSA) scale. The results revealed that majority (77, 60) of the student nurses perceived their parents (mothers and fathers respectively) to have affectionate constraint parenting which corresponds to high care and high protection. Further, most of the student nurses 84 (50.91%) were having good Emotional Intelligence. Albeit of good Emotional Intelligence and Affectionate Constraint (High protection and high care) perceived parenting style, there was no significant relationship found between emotional intelligence and perceived parental style among student nurses which implies that there could be other factors that may contribute or influenced the development of emotional intelligence other than parental style
