Stress, Emotional Well-being, and Coping Strategies Among Nursing Students: A Systematic Review
type: item
description: Introduction: Because stress affects emotional health, academic achievement, and future professional competence, it is a serious problem for nursing students. Nursing students are susceptible to psychological strain due to growing academic and clinical responsibilities. Methodology: PRISMA standards were followed in conducting a systematic review. We retrieved pertinent studies from PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar that were published between 2018 and 2025. Included were studies on nursing students’ coping mechanisms, stress, and mental health. Narrative synthesis and data extraction were done. Results: About 45 studies in all satisfied the inclusion requirements. The results showed that academic overload, clinical exposure, and interpersonal difficulties are the main causes of the moderate to high levels of stress experienced by nursing students. High stress levels were associated with poor emotional outcomes, including anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbances. While maladaptive coping mechanisms like avoidance and excessive use of digital media were associated with poor mental health outcomes, adaptive coping mechanisms like social support, mindfulness, and time management were found to enhance emotional well-being. Conclusion: Stress and impaired emotional health are major risks for nursing students. In order to lessen these consequences, effective coping mechanisms are essential. In order to foster resilience and enhance student well-being, nursing education needs systematic interventions and mental health support services.

title: An Experimental Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Sleep Hygiene Behavioral Interventions in Improving Quality of Sleep Among Middle-Aged and Older Adults with Chronic Physical Diseases in A Selected Community Area, Kottayam, Kerala
description: Introduction: Quality of sleep among middle-aged and older adults with chronic physical diseases is often disturbed due to persistent symptoms, medication effects, and age-related changes. Conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, arthritis, and cardiac diseases negatively affect sleep patterns and overall well-being. Sleep hygiene behavioral interventions promote healthy sleep habits through structured education, regular sleep schedules, environmental modifications, and relaxation techniques. These non-pharmacological approaches are safe, cost-effective, and suitable for community settings. Early sleep-focused interventions can significantly improve sleep quality and overall health outcomes among individuals living with chronic illnesses. Methodology: This experimental study used a one-group pre-test post-test design to evaluate the effectiveness of sleep hygiene behavioral interventions among 150 middle-aged and older adults with chronic physical diseases in a selected community area of Kottayam, Kerala. Participants were selected using a randomized sampling technique. Sleep quality was assessed using a standardized scale before and after the intervention. The intervention included sleep education, regular sleep routines, environmental adjustments, and relaxation techniques. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired t-test, and chi-square test with significance set at p <0.05. Results: Pre-test findings showed 79 (52.67%) participants had good sleep quality, and 71 (47.33%) had fair sleep quality. Post-test results indicated improvement, with 110 (73.33%) reporting good sleep quality and 24 (16.00%) achieving excellent sleep quality. The mean score increased from 60.73 to 71.58, with a mean enhancement of 10.85. The paired t-test value of 13.118 (p <0.001) confirmed significant effectiveness. Only the type of chronic illness showed a significant association with pre-test sleep quality. Conclusion: Sleep hygiene behavioral interventions were effectiv…

Effect of Mindfulness-Based Interventions on Premenstrual Symptoms among Adolescent Girls: Review
type: item
description: Adolescence is characterized by high stress reactivity and fluctuating hormones, often leading to severe premenstrual symptoms that affect quality of life. Non-pharmacological interventions, particularly MBIs, are sought to manage these symptoms. A systematic review following PRISMA guidelines, analyzing literature focused on mindfulness-based practices (e.g., meditation, MBSR-T, yoga) implemented as a primary intervention to improve emotional regulation and alleviate physical/behavioral PMS symptoms in adolescent girls. The literature indicates that MBIs effectively reduce PMS-related discomfort, anxiety, and depression. Specifically, mindfulness training helps reduce pain-related catastrophizing, emotional reactivity, and depressive rumination. Evidence shows that MBIs, such as school-delivered Cognitive Therapy, improve self-regulation of emotions and reduce stress, with impacts often sustained over time. MBIs are a promising non-pharmacological approach for adolescents, improving mental health and mitigating PMS severity by reducing stress and improving emotional regulation.

title: A Study to Assess the Knowledge and Attitude Regarding Tourette’s Syndrome Among Teachers in Selected Primary Schools at Jaipur, Rajasthan, with a View to Developing an Information Booklet on Prevention of Tourette’s Syndrome
description: Background of the study: Tourette’s syndrome (TS) is an inherited neurologic disorder characterized by repeated involuntary movements and uncontrollable vocal sounds called tics. Both multiple motor and one or more vocal tics need to be present; causes marked distress or significant impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning. In this modern era, both parents may have job and they may not get enough time to give proper attention to their children. At the same time, the children spend most of their time with teachers in the school. So the teachers are getting a better chance to identify the problems of children in comparison with others. By early detection, we can prevent the disturbances and distress that may occur in their future. Methodology: The data was generated by using structured questionnaire. Convenient sampling was adopted to select 60 teachers as subjects from Jaipur. The data obtained from the subjects were analyzed and interpreted in terms of the objectives and hypotheses of the study. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for the data analysis, and the p-value was set at the 0.05 level. Results: The result was formulated using the data obtained. The overall mean score of knowledge on Tourette’s Syndrome is 16.48, and the standard deviation is 3.084 and that of attitude is 50.22, and the standard deviation is 10.187respectively. 41.7% teachers had inadequate knowledge, 25% had moderately adequate knowledge and 33.3% had adequate knowledge. Among the teachers, 20% had a moderately favorable attitude; 50% had unfavorable and 3 0% ha d favorable attitude respectively. There was a statistically significant correlation between knowledge and attitude. Pearson’s R correlation was 0.308. The knowledge level had an association with the demographic variable and the attitude level had an association with the demographic variables. Conclusion: This study revealed that the knowledge of teachers regarding Tourette’s Syndrome…

Relationship Between Perceived Stress and Body Self-Image Among Students of Selected Nursing College: A Correlational Study
type: item
description: Introduction: Body self-image is a multidimensional concept that encompasses how people think, feel, and act in relation to their own physical characteristics. Perceived stress is an individual’s feeling or thought about the amount of stress they are under at a particular point in time or over a particular period. Methodology: A correlational non-experimental research design was used, and a purposive sampling of 100 students from a nursing college was done. The tools used were socio-demographic data and the body self-image questionnaire (BSIQ-SF). Descriptive statistics and the Spearman rank correlation test were used to find the relationship between the variables. Results: The results showed a very weak correlation between perceived stress and body self-image (r = 0.009, p = 0.931). The study also found that 54% of the participants were dissatisfied with their body self-image, and 94% were experiencing moderate stress. Significant association was seen between weight and perceived stress (p = 0.010). Conclusion: The study concluded that there is a weak correlation between perceived stress and body self-image among nursing college students. The findings suggest that nursing college students experience moderate stress and are dissatisfied with their body self-image. The study recommends interventional research to enhance individuals’ ability to appreciate their own body and reduce unrealistic body standards. The study’s findings have implications for nursing education and practice, highlighting the need to address body self-image concerns and perceived stress among nursing students to promote their mental health and well-being.

A Cross-Sectional Study to Assess the Level of Stress and Procrastination Among B.Sc. Nursing Students at Selected Nursing Colleges, Sri Ganganagar, Rajasthan
type: item
description: Introduction: Strict performance standards, a lot of study, and emotionally taxing clinical training make nursing education extremely hard. High levels of academic stress are common among nursing students, which can have a detrimental impact on their health, academic performance, and intention to drop out. Dropout rates from nursing programs are a serious problem since they lead to both personal setbacks for students and a shortage of nurses. Therefore, further study is required to determine practical methods for lowering academic stress and preventing nursing students’ intentions to drop out. Methodology: Stress and procrastination were measured among B.Sc. Nursing students using a quantitative cross-sectional study methodology. Purposive sampling was used to choose 300 students from Sri Ganganagar College of Nursing in Rajasthan for the study. A demographic profile, the Nursing Student Procrastination Scale, and the Stress Scale were used to gather data. Experts verified the instruments, and a pilot study was used to assess their dependability. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics to identify relationships between stress, procrastination, and demographic variables. Results: The majority of the 410 B.Sc. Nursing students were male (81.2%), under the age of 19 (39.3%), day scholars (38.3%), and single (96.6%). Academic stress was the highest domain (64.1%), with moderate stress being the most prevalent (39.5%). Academic, physical, emotional, social, and time management stress were all strongly positively correlated with overall stress. Procrastination did not substantially correlate with stress domains, although father’s occupation (p=0.042) and use of online academic resources (p=0.031) did. Conclusions: The majority of B.Sc. Nursing students reported moderate levels of stress, including academic, emotional, social, and time management stress, as well as moderate procrastination, according to the study’s findings. Procrastination did not …

A Comprehensive Review of the Lifelong Health Implications of Obstetric Complications and Preventive Strategies
type: item
description: The majority of pregnancy-related health issues seem to go away during delivery or soon after. Preterm labor, placental abruption, pre-eclampsia, and gestational diabetes are common examples. It is recognized that women who experience these kinds of problems are more likely to experience similar problems during subsequent pregnancies. These women are more likely to experience long-term health issues, as has lately come to light. In order to meet the metabolic needs of the feto-placental unit, the mother’s physiology changes significantly throughout pregnancy. Maladaptive physiological reactions may arise in pregnancy difficulties, which could have an effect on the mother’s and the fetus’s health. Furthermore, some maternal alterations could continue after giving birth. Pre-eclampsia (PE) and gestational diabetic mellitus (GDM) typically go away after giving birth, but there is mounting evidence that both illnesses raise a woman’s lifetime risk of cardiometabolic disease. The purpose of this review was to examine putative underlying processes based on animal and small-scale human investigations, summarize epidemiological evidence relating PE and GDM to future maternal cardiometabolic diseases, and evaluate implications for future research and postpartum therapeutic management.

type: item
description: Introduction: These days, hypertension is regarded as one of the leading causes of death and serious consequences worldwide. It typically runs in families and is characterized by a chronic process. The new scientific field of gene therapy offers a targeted method for addressing the genetic causes of hypertension. But nursing students don’t fully understand or acknowledge these cutting-edge methods. Methodology: A pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test research design was adopted. Eighty nursing students who were chosen using a suitable sample technique participated in the study. Prior to and during the instructional program, knowledge was evaluated using a standardized knowledge questionnaire. Results: The majority of pupils had minimal to intermediate knowledge, according to the pre-test findings. Knowledge scores significantly improved following the organized instruction program, according to post-test results. At p < 0.05, the computed “t” value was statistically significant. Conclusion: The structured teaching programme was effective in improving the knowledge regarding hypertension among nursing students.

A Study to Assess the Effectiveness of an Information Booklet on Knowledge Regarding Myocardial Infarction Among Nursing Officers Working in New Medical College Hospital, Kota (Raj)
type: item
description: Introduction: The global study of myocardial infarction (MI), or heart attack, in 2025 is marked by an increase in early cases, especially in younger people, as well as a persistent emphasis on established risk factors and the effects of new risk factors like autoimmune diseases and chronic inflammation. With a goal of reaching 50% of eligible people, WHO continues to promote secondary prevention through medication therapy and counseling. Methodology: A descriptive research approach with a pre-experimental one-group pre-test post-test design was adopted to assess the effectiveness of an information booklet on knowledge regarding myocardial infarction among Nursing Officers working in New Medical College Hospital, Kota (Rajasthan). A total of 60 Nursing Officers were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire consisting of demographic variables and a 30-item knowledge questionnaire related to myocardial infarction. The information booklet was administered after the pre-test, followed by a post-test to evaluate the change in knowledge level. Results: The average pre-test score (14.85; 49.49%) showed that nursing officers had insufficient prior knowledge of myocardial infarction. The mean score rose to 24.10 (80.35%) following the instructional booklet, with 70% achieving adequate knowledge and none remaining inadequate. The largest gain in MI management and the considerable t value (19.89) attested to the educational booklet’s efficacy. Conclusion: According to pre-test results, the majority of respondents (73.33%) did not know enough about myocardial infarction. 70% of participants had sufficient knowledge following the educational booklet, and their mean scores significantly increased from 14.85 to 24.10 (t = 19.89). The findings support the educational booklet’s efficacy in raising nursing officers’ level of knowledge.

A Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Self-Management Education on Quality of Life Among Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease in Selected Hospitals
type: item
description: Programs for disease-specific education have shown better results, despite the fact that people tend to forget knowledge fast or memorize it incorrectly. In an effort to reinforce patient education, the teach-back method was developed. There hasn’t yet been a systematic review of the data on the efficacy of health education using the teach-back method in better treatment. Methodology: One-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design. A six-week SME intervention (education sessions, handbook, and follow-up reinforcement) was given to fifty CKD patients (stages 3–5, not on dialysis or maintenance dialysis as per inclusion). A validated CKD-specific QoL scale (score range 0–100, higher indicating better QoL) was used to measure QoL both before and four weeks after the intervention. Pre and post scores were compared using a paired t-test with a significance level of p <0.05. The study was conducted at Nalamm Hospital on First Cross Street in M.K.B. Nagar, Chennai. Results: Mean pre-intervention QoL = 56.40 (SD = 8.20). Mean post-intervention QoL = 68.90 (SD = 7.10). Mean difference = 12.50 (SD of differences = 6.00). Paired t(49) = 14.73, p < 0.001. Cohen’s d = 2.08 (very large effect). Improvements were observed across physical, social and psychological subdomains. Conclusion: Patients with CKD experienced a statistically significant and clinically relevant increase in their quality of life as a result of the SME program. It is advised to incorporate SME into regular CKD care.

An Analytical Study on the Emerging Scope and Awareness of Forensic Nursing among Nursing Colleges in India
type: item
description: Introduction: Around the world, nurses provide medical care in jails. Custodial health nurses (CHNs) use specialized nursing skills and knowledge to perform vital tasks while working under security constraints in settings not intended for nursing care. Prisoners must have access to these nurses due to the sharp rise in their age, illness, and infirmity. Methodology: Three Indian nursing schools, including Saint Florence College, Jeevan Shree College of Nursing and College of Nursing, RDASMC, Ayodhya, participated in a cross-sectional analytical study. About 300 participants (faculty and students) were given a structured, pre-tested questionnaire with knowledge scores ranging from 0 to 20 and scales for attitude and perceived scope. Chi-square tests, t-tests, and descriptive statistics were used to examine the data; significance was established at p <0.05. Results: Mean knowledge score was 12.8 ± 3.6. Awareness levels: poor 30%, moderate 40%, good 30%. Significant associations were found between awareness level and years of experience (≤5 vs >5 years; χ² = 40.74, df = 2, p <0.001) and between awareness and college type (private vs government; χ² = 19.58, df = 2, p = 5.6×10⁻⁵). Only 28% reported any formal training in forensic nursing; 18% reported clinical forensic exposure at their institution. Conclusions: There are significant gaps in formal training and practical exposure, and forensic nursing awareness and perceived scope are moderate in the studied Indian nursing colleges. It is advised to incorporate forensic nursing courses into faculty development programs and undergraduate and graduate curricula.

Informed Consent Standards in Research
type: item
description: Research is a carefully planned, systematic, and organized process aimed at finding solutions to unanswered questions. The researcher must always consider fundamental ethical principles such as beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, and respect for persons. All research studies involving human participants must obtain Informed consent. The informed consent must have four essentials: relevant information about the research study, competence of the participants, understanding of the study, and voluntariness for participation. Informed consent can be waived in situations of minimal risk and impracticability of obtaining consent. Re-consent should be taken following revisions or modifications of study procedures. Special groups, the community and vulnerable populations must be carefully contacted and included in the study. Thus, Informed consent is not only a legal requirement but also a vital pillar of ethical practice in research.
