Assessing the Effect of Self Instructional Module on Knowledge of Menopause & Hormone Replacement Therapy for Menopausal Women in Moradabad (UP)

Objectives of the study were to identify the problems faced by menopausal women and to find out the remedial measures adopted by them, to assess the knowledge of menopausal women regarding menopause & hormone replacement therapy (HRT) before and after administration of self-instructional module (SIM) and to find out the acceptability and utility of the SIM. An evaluative research approach, with pre-experimental one group pre-test post-test design was adopted. Purposive sampling technique was used to obtain an adequate size of the sample. The sample comprised of 100 menopausal women living in selected community of Moradabad (UP). A knowledge questionnaire and opinionnaire were administered, and SIM on menopause and HRT administered. It was found that there was deficit in knowledge of menopausal women regarding menopause and HRT. Mean post-test knowledge scores were significantly higher than mean pre-test knowledge scores. SIM was found highly acceptable and useful by menopausal women.

A Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Self Instructional Module on Knowledge Regarding Prevention of Osteoporosis Among the Middle Aged Women in Selected Hospital, Bangalore

Bone is living, growing tissue. It is made mostly of collagen, a protein that provides a soft framework, and calcium phosphate, a mineral that adds strength and hardens the framework. This combination of collagen and calcium makes bone both flexible and strong, which in turn helps bone to withstand stress.1 More than 99 percent of the body’s calcium is contained in the bones and teeth. The remaining 1 percent is found in the blood. Throughout one’s lifetime, old bone is removed (resorption) and new bone is added to the skeleton (formation). During childhood and teenage years, new bone is added faster than old bone is removed. As a result, bones become larger, heavier, and denser. Bone formation outpaces resorption until peak bone mass (maximum bone density and strength) is reached around age 30. After that time, bone resorption slowly begins to exceed bone formation. For women, bone loss is fastest in the first few years after menopause, and it continues into the postmenopausal years. Osteoporosis, or porous bone, is a disease characterized by low bone mass and structural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to bone fragility and an increased risk of fractures of the hip, spine, and wrist. Osteoporosis is more likely to develop if you did not reach optimal peak bone mass during your bone-building years. Women are at a greater risk than men, especially women who are thin or have a small frame, as are those of advanced age. Women who are postmenopausal, including those who have had early or surgically induced menopause, or abnormal or absence of menstrual periods, are at greater risk. Cigarette smoking, eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa or bulimia, low amounts of calcium in the diet, heavy alcohol consumption, inactive lifestyle, and use of certain medications, such as corticosteroids and anticonvulsants, are also risk factors for osteoporopsis.2 The underlying mechanism in all cases of osteoporosis is an imbalance between bone resorption and bone formation. In normal bone, matrix remodeling of bone is constant; up to 10% of all bone mass may be undergoing remodeling at any point in time. The process takes place in bone multicellular units (BMUs) as first described by Frost & Thomas in 1963. Osteoclasts are assisted by transcription factor PU.1 to degrade the bone matrix, while osteoblasts rebuild the bone matrix. Low bone mass density can then occur when osteoclasts are degrading the bone matrix faster than the osteoblasts are rebuilding the bone. The three main mechanisms by which osteoporosis develops are an inadequate peak bone mass (the skeleton develops insufficient mass and strength during growth), excessive bone resorption, and inadequate formation of new bone during remodeling. An interplay of these three mechanisms underlies the development of fragile bone tissue. Hormonal factors strongly determine the rate of bone resorption; lack of estrogen (e.g. as a result of menopause) increases bone resorption, as well as decreasing the deposition of new bone that normally takes place in weight-bearing bones.this leads to weakening and softening of bones the bones become soft and it will prone to get fracture or collapse.

A Study to assess the Effectiveness of Information Booklet on Knowledge regarding First aid and Safety Measure among Early Adolescent age (10 – 14 years) Children in selected schools at Udaipur

Introduction: Basic first aid knowledge helps children to deal with emergency situations. Everyone needs to teach children about being mentally prepared for emergencies. Children should be taught about different first aid measures, both at home and at school, which helps emphasize the importance of child safety. This enables them overcome difficult situations like injuries, burns and outdoor emergencies. First aid is all about using common sense in the hour of need. Objectives of the study: To evaluate the effectiveness of self Instructional module by comparing the pretest and post test knowledge of school children. Method and Material: quantitative pre experimental one group pre test post test research design was used. by using Simple random sampling technique. This study was also done on 120 samples; data was collected by semi structured questionnaire to assess the knowledge regarding First aid and safety measure among Early Adolescent age (10-14 year). Results: The pre test means score was 10.58, standard deviation was 1.71 and the mean % was 52.9. The post test means score was 14.94, standard deviation was 1.39 and the mean % was 74.7. The difference in mean% was 21.8. The calculated ‘t’ value of 22.31 which showed high statistical significance at p<0.001 level. There was no significant association of post test level of knowledge with any of the demographic variables. Regarding First aid and safety measure. Conclusion: The present study assessed the knowledge of school children regarding first aid and safety measures, the school children had inadequate knowledge regarding first aid safety measures. After reading Self Instructional Module, there was a significant improvement in school children knowledge regarding first aid and safety measures.
