Abstract

Background: Nowadays health care quality is a universal concern. The health sector is changing rapidlydue to the escalating requirements and desires of patients. The most appropriate method to measure a client’sexperiences about available hospital services is a patient satisfaction survey. Present study aimed to assesspatient’s knowledge and satisfaction regarding nursing services and physical infrastructure. Methods: 330patients were selected by purposive sampling technique attending various indoor departments of the selectedhospital. Self-structured checklist and three-point rating scale each containing a total 90 sets of items usedto assess knowledge and satisfaction. The reliability coefficient for the knowledge tool was 0.87 by KR 20and satisfaction was found 0.85 by Cronbach’s Alpha. Result: Study results showed that more than half(59.7 %) patients had very good level of knowledge regarding availability of services. 72.4% & 69.7% ofpatients were satisfied with Nursing services and physical infrastructure facilities respectively. Item wisedistribution of level of satisfaction among patients regarding nursing services reveals that “nurses hearyou carefully(64.5%)”, “explain patient’s condition to the family (64.5%),” and “Adequate space in ward(75.5%)” was found ranked 1st with the highest satisfaction, whereas “provide psychological counseling”,“Toilet facility and cleanliness(32.1%)” was found ranked lowest. A significant low positive correlation foundbetween mean knowledge and satisfaction scores regarding nursing services and physical infrastructure asevident by computed ‘r’ value (0.38)Conclusion: Using these necessary responses from the patients, various shortcomings can be pointed outand notify to hospital administration for improvement of the nursing care services & physical infrastructure.

Abstract

India accompanies the world witnessing a rapidly spreading global pandemic of Covid-19. On 24 March,the Government of India ordered a nationwide lockdown that triggered the mass migration of daily wagesworkers back to their native states. Without prior testing for SARS-CoV-2, it imposed a new challengetowards the authorities to prevent the possible spread of infection. The study aims to determine the infectionstatus of migrants who died in the jurisdiction of Varanasi district during their journey and the possible risk ofspread of Covid-19 to frontline workers. The study was conducted between 24 March 2020 and 10 July 2020.A total of 6 cases came to our department who died during travel. The nasopharyngeal and oropharyngealswabs were taken after the body arrived in the mortuary and sent for detection of SARS-CoV-2 by RT-PCRmethod to the Viral Research and Diagnostic Laboratory (VRDL), Department of Microbiology of ourInstitute. A total of six cases were included in this study, of which 3 were positive for SARS-CoV-2 whileothers were negative. None of them had symptoms of Covid-19 infection, such as respiratory difficulties,sore throat or fever. The guidelines issued by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare were limitedin scope to hospital deaths and lacked guidelines to be followed by police personnel while investigatingunnatural deaths. This brings the police personnel at risk of contracting Covid-19 infection as the cases aregetting tested after the arrival at mortuary. The only way of protection is prevention, which mandates layingdown the guidelines at the earliest.

Abstract

It is believed abstraction that the Planets and stars influence human health and psychology is a popular notionin astrological science in India. However, debates are still ongoing about the exact effects and their extentand quality. This study aims to deduce the correlation between unnatural deaths in different age groups andthe lunar cycle in 2819 cases. The cases were selected from the dead bodies brought into the mortuary of thedepartment for medico-legal postmortem examination from the various police stations of Varanasi betweenthe duration of 1st January 2013 to 17th July 2014. The compiled data were studied and analyzed statisticallyby employing the ‘one-way parametric ANOVA.’ It was observed that out of 2819 cases the most affectedage group was between 21-40 years (52.4%) followed by the age group 41-60 years (23.1%) and 13-20 years(13.7%). The insignificant rise in unnatural death among different phases of the lunar cycle of different agegroups indicates minimal correlation and association with the lunar cycle. A detailed study may be done inthe future considering one parameter at a time.

Conveniently 1 hospital were selected andthen the sample was chosen by convenience sampling technique. Tools in the study were selected variables,structured knowledge questionnaire and structured expressed practices scale. The mean post-test knowledgescore of experimental group was higher (14.67) than the mean post test score of comparison group (9.77)which was found to be statistically significant (‘t’ = 2.21, p = 0.00**) at the 0.05 level of significance. Themean post-test expressed practices score of the experimental group was higher (91.87) than the mean posttest expressed practices score of comparison group (74.50), which was found to be statistically significant (‘t’= 14.46, p =0.00**) at the 0.05 level of significance. No significant association was found among knowledgescores and expressed practices scores regarding first aid management of epilepsy among patient’s familymembers with selected variable. Video assisted teaching was effective to improve the knowledge andexpressed practices regarding First aid management Epilepsy among patient’s family members as there wasa significant difference between experimental and comparison group.
