Effectiveness of awareness program on the knowledge, awareness, and perception of undergraduate paramedical and non-paramedical students toward eye donation - A cross sectional study

Introduction: Corneal transplantation is the only option to treat corneal blindness. However, the corneal procurement rate is much less than the requirement. Barriers to eye donation need to be studied. Aim: The aim of this study is to understand the knowledge, awareness, and perception toward eye donation and the determination of barriers to eye donation among university students and to conduct an awareness campaign and determination of its effectiveness. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 300 graduation students of paramedical and nonparamedical department with the help of questionnaire. An awareness program was carried out through PowerPoint presentation. Responses were elicited pre- and post-awareness program. Data were analyzed using the SPSS software version 16. Results: The findings suggest that knowledge and awareness were slightly higher among paramedical students but the willingness for eye donation was higher among nonparamedical students as compared to paramedical students. The prime source of information was doctors/optometrists and media. In both the groups, female and Hindu participants showed more willingness toward eye donation. Barriers to eye donation was the lack of awareness and inappropriate knowledge including various myths and superstitions. Knowledge, awareness, and willingness for eye donation pre- and post-awareness program was comparable between both the groups. Awareness program resulted in statistically significant increase in positive attitude and willingness toward eye donation in both the groups. Conclusion: Effective measures including awareness campaign need to be taken such as education on eye donation through which procurement of cornea can be increased and burden of corneal blindness can be minimized.

Mathematical modeling and analysis for the transmission dynamics of blinding trachoma with effect of awareness programs

Trachoma is among neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) which the World Health Organization (WHO) designated as a priority for surveillance and elimination. The severity of the epidemic has largely been controlled in many countries, but continues to inflict severe public health and socioeconomic burden in some parts of Nigeria. One of the major reasons for Nigeria’s failure in the fight against the epidemic is lack of effective health care system and awareness programs which play a vital role in the control of the blinding trachoma epidemic. This study proposed a mathematical model to study the transmission dynamics of blinding trachoma in Nigeria that consider both person to person and vector transmission dynamics. The analysis shows that the disease-free equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable when R01. We fit the model with field data instances from Northern Nigeria and provide a detailed estimation of the model parameters. Our result shows that, the epidemic could increase if awareness programs are not properly implemented. We obtained some simulation results with the aid of mesh plots for the reproductive number R0 as a function of two different biological parameters. Using forward sensitivity index approach, we perform sensitive analysis to point out the most sensitive parameters that should be considered to effectively control the epidemic. Finally, This research suggest that, the awareness programs and improvement of personal hygiene will play a significant role in controlling the spread of the epidemic.

Mathematical modeling of COVID-19 epidemic with effect of awareness programs.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) is a novel virus that emerged in China in late 2019 and caused a pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The epidemic has largely been controlled in China since March 2020, but continues to inflict severe public health and socioeconomic burden in other parts of the world. One of the major reasons for China’s success for the fight against the epidemic is the effectiveness of its health care system and enlightenment (awareness) programs which play a vital role in the control of the COVID-19 pandemic. Nigeria is currently witnessing a rapid increase of the epidemic likely due to its unsatisfactory health care system and inadequate awareness programs. In this paper, we propose a mathematical model to study the transmission dynamics of COVID-19 in Nigeria. Our model incorporates awareness programs and different hospitalization strategies for mild and severe cases, to assess the effect of public awareness on the dynamics of COVID-19 infection. We fit the model to the cumulative number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Nigeria from 29 March to 12 June 2020. We find that the epidemic could increase if awareness programs are not properly adopted. We presumed that the effect of awareness programs could be estimated. Further, our results suggest that the awareness programs and timely hospitalization of active cases are essential tools for effective control and mitigation of COVID-19 pandemic in Nigeria and beyond. Finally, we perform sensitive analysis to point out the key parameters that should be considered to effectively control the epidemic.

Effectiveness of Awareness Programme on Knowledge on Oral Cancer and its Prevention among Adolescents in Selected Intermediate School of Moradabad, UP

Oral cancer, preventable if a person is aware of which risk factor is responsible of causing oral cancer and which risk factors a person can control or eliminate. A cross sectional study in Lucknow district (UP) found that out of 508 cases, a majority of the samples in the age group 18 - 75 years were involved. Documented cases of oral cancer in males were higher as compared to females, with poor level of knowledge. From 2012 to 2016 a retrospective study was performed in Moradabad hospital, UP. Results of 200 oral biopsies were reviewed, 130 biopsies were pre-malignant, 40 were malignant and remaining 30 were others. Pre-malignant and malignant oral lesions were infectious in the patients attending the hospital in Moradabad district. A quantitative research approach was used to conduct this study using pre-experimental one group pre-test and post-test research design on 80 participants. The conceptual framework of this study was health belief model. Non-probability purposive sampling techniques was used to select the participants, self-structured questionnaire on knowledge concerning oral cancer and prevention of oral cancer was used to collect data. There was less awareness among adolescents, as they had reported lack of knowledge on oral cancer and its prevention, risk factors, sign & symptoms and early detection or diagnostic concepts, no matter which background they were from. Out of total, 84.3 percent participants reported poor knowledge and 12.0 percent participants reported average knowledge in pre-test, in post-test, 26.5 percent of participants showed average knowledge and 69.9 percent showed excellent knowledge. Findings also showed that mean post-test level of knowledge (2.72± .449) was more than mean pre-test knowledge score (1.12± .332), with mean difference of 1.6, which specifi es that awareness programme was effective in increasing level of knowledge on oral cancer and prevention of oral cancer. With the help of intervention there was an improvement in post-test score of knowledge about oral cancer and its prevention among adolescent. Present study concluded that awareness programme on oral cancer was effective as majority of participants improved their knowledge level from inadequate to excellent level of awareness regarding oral cancer and its prevention.

ASSESSMENT OF HEALTHCARE PRACTICES AND EFFECT OF AWARENESS PROGRAMME ON KNOWLEDGE REGARDING COMPLICATIONS OF HYPERTENSION AMONG HYPERTENSIVE PATIENTS IN A SELECTED RURAL AREA IN MALDA (WEST BENGAL) INDIA

Background: In India, hypertension causes the leading risk factor for morbidity and mortality. It causes several complications which may lead to death for individual. Objective: The objective of the study was to assess healthcare practices and effect of awareness programme on knowledge regarding complications of hypertension among hypertensive patients. Method: A pre experimental study was undertaken at rural area of Malda district to assess stated healthcare practices among hypertensive patients and along with it, an awareness programme was arranged regarding complications of hypertension and its effectiveness was also assessed. Total 100 (one hundred) known hypertensive patients were selected through non probability purposive sampling technique and one group pretest posttest research design was adopted. Data was collected through structured questionnaire by interview technique. Result: It was seen that, in term of healthcare practice; mean score was 16.12 ± 2.3 and median 16. Along with it, minimum practice deficit was found in drug compliance area and maximum deficit was found in exercise area. In case of awareness programme, pretest Mean score was 9.83 ± 2.29 and post test mean Score was 13.83±1.06. The calculated “t” value was 19.60 (p<0.05) which suggested that awareness programme was effective. There was also presence of weak positive relationship between healthcare practices and knowledge on complications of hypertension among hypertensive patients which was found significant (p<0.01). Association was only present between religions of hypertension patients with healthcare practices. Otherwise no association was found between healthcare practices and demographic variable of hypertensive patients and for pretest knowledge score with demographic variables too. Conclusion: The finding of this data suggested that awareness programme improved the healthcare practices & knowledge of rural people regarding complications of hypertension which could reduce morbidity rate further. The study has implications in the field of nursing education, practice, administration and research. So the researcher recommended that more awareness programme could be conducted in future among hypertensive patients in order to prevent complications of hypertension.

Effect of awareness program on diabetes mellitus: deterministic and stochastic approach

Diabetes mellitus is a silent killer and major public health problem all over the world, but knowledge and awareness about diabetes are insufficient in middle and low-level socioeconomic countries. Awareness plays a vital role in understanding about causes factors of diabetes and its prevention. The world is not completely deterministic as there are biological fluctuations present within the population. With this motivation, we propose and analyze diabetes awareness models with human beings suffering from diabetes mellitus and introducing awareness programs driven by the media in deterministic as well as the stochastic environment. In this work, we investigate the effect of awareness programs on the prevalence of epidemiology of diabetes mellitus. The local stability analysis around the biologically feasible equilibrium point of both the model systems are investigated. The analytical results of the models are verified numerically by taking a set of biologically feasible parameter values. Our study reveals that the prevention of diabetes mellitus in humans may be ensured through an awareness program at the community level.

Modeling and Analysis of Effect of Awareness Programs by Media on the Spread of COVID-19 Pandemic Disease

This paper proposes and analyses a basic deterministic mathematical model to investigate Modeling and Analysis of effect of awareness program by media on the spread COVID-19 Pandemic Disease. The model has four non-linear differential equations, which describe the effects of awareness programs on the spread of COVID-19 Pandemic diseases such as flu has been proposed and analyzed. In the modeling process assumed that disease spreads due to the contact between susceptible and infective only. The growth rate of awareness programs influencing the population assumed to be proportional to the number of infective individuals. It further, assumed that due to the effect of media, susceptible individuals form a separate class and avoid contact with the infective. The model analyzed by using stability theory of differential equations. The model analysis shows that the spread of a COVID-19 Pandemic disease controlled by using awareness programs but the disease remains Pandemic due to immigration. The models analyzed qualitatively to determine criteria for control of the spread of COVID 19, and used to calculate the basic reproduction R0. The equilibrium of COVID 19 models is determined. In addition to having a disease-free equilibrium, which is globally asymptotically stable when the R0 < 1, the basic COVID 19 model manifest one's possession of (a quality of) the phenomenon of backward bifurcation where a stable disease-free equilibrium co-exists (at the same time) with a stable endemic equilibrium for a certain range of associated reproduction number less than one. The analysis and simulation results of the model suggested that the most effective strategies for controlling or eradicating the spread of COVID 19 pandemic were suggest using that awareness programs through the media campaigning are helpful in decreasing the spread of COVID 19 Pandemic diseases by isolating a fraction of susceptible from infective.

Effect of Awareness Programme on Knowledge and Practice Regarding Birth Preparedness and Complication Readiness among Pregnant Women at Panchla Block, Howrah District

Birth preparedness and complication readiness or BP/ CR of pregnant women enable maternal and newborn survival. A quasi-experimental study was conducted to know the effect of awareness programme on knowledge and practice regarding BP/ CR among pregnant women in Panchla Block, Howrah District , West Bengal. Using the Mother and Child tracking system register 72 mothers with gestational age ≥ 36 weeks selected randomly from 12 sub-centers. Intervention was done through individual and group instructions and data were collected before and after intervention. The intervention through awareness programme to the pregnant women significantly raised the awareness level regarding BP/ CR, as the mean score was higher in the intervention group regarding birth preparedness ((17.1 after intervention versus 13.5 before intervention, t value 12.73 with 35 df , p&lt;0.05) and complication readiness (13.8 after intervention versus 6.1 before intervention, t value 25.31 with 35 df , p&lt;0.05). However, there is no significant improvement in mean score in the control group regarding birth preparedness. There is also, strong positive association between knowledge and practice (chi-square value 16.99 with 1 df and p&lt;0.01).&#x0D; Keyword: birth preparedness; complication readiness

Effects of Awareness Programs on Juvenile Delinquency: A Three-Level Meta-Analysis.

Juvenile awareness programs, such as Scared Straight, remain in use despite the finding that these programs provoke rather than prevent delinquency. The aim of this study was to examine what program components are associated with program effectiveness, which is important for improving these programs. A three-level meta-analysis was conducted. A literature search yielded 13 independent studies (N = 1,536) from which 88 effect sizes could be extracted. A nonsignificant overall effect was found (d = 0.10), indicating that juvenile awareness programs have no effect on offending behavior and other outcomes that are related to delinquency. No significant moderator effects were found for program components. The moderator analyses revealed that juvenile awareness programs are effective in reducing antisocial attitudes (d = 0.46), which has not been meta-analytically studied before. Furthermore, larger effects were found as follow-up length increased. These results show a more nuanced view on the effectiveness of juvenile awareness programs is necessary.
