Background: Needle Stick Injuries (NSIs) are defined as accidental skin penetrating injuries caused by needles. It is the single greatest occupational hazard to a medical personnel. In developing countries, needle stick injury is associated with the highest global prevalence of HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C. Aim & Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of needle stick injuries, its associated risk factors and assess the awareness regarding needle stick injuries among nursing staff. Material & Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among nursing staff who were working at a tertiary care hospital in Northern India during June 2019 to November 2019. The study commenced after taking prior approval from institutional ethics committee. A census method was used to include the participants. Results: Around 66.7% of the nursing staff was exposed to NSIs during their working hours at the hospital. There was significant association of needle stick injuries with place of working and education of nursing staff in multivariate binary logistic regression. About 26% of the nurses were unaware that recapping should be done or not for used needle, and 35% of staff nurses recapped the needle after the use. Conclusion: Needle stick injuries can be prevented by continued education, effective training, providing better safety devices, a positive work environment.
Background: In Bangladesh, parents are crucial in ensuring that teens use digital gadgets responsibly. The purpose of this study was to create a parenting paradigm within the context of the government's purges. Method: Nineteen key informants took part in this study as part of the qualitative inquiry. Results: Participants come from a variety of backgrounds and play a variety of roles that all support the same goal. The parenting model was created using the information from the interviews. By placing secondary and upper secondary educational institutions at the core of government action, parents will be educated. This approach was first proposed to be used in the "Generation Breakthrough" program of the Ministry of Education. Parents should be invited to the institutions to learn about the actions that need to be performed and followed under the two main categories, preventative and curative. Technology, the spoken word, psychology, and relationships built on evidence and trust are all examples of preventive approaches. Corrective measures include counseling, assistance with cyber security, legal services, and law enforcement. Conclusion: In order to ensure that teens are using digital gadgets responsibly, this study suggests educating and empowering parents through a realistic strategy.
This study aims to investigate the relationship between parental bonding and parent-child relationships among college-going adolescents. A scale suggested by Robert C. Pianta (1992) was used in this quantitative, cross-sectional study with a descriptive design. Among 1000 students of Chattogram Biggan College and Chattogram Commerce College in Chattogram, Bangladesh, 101 individuals were selected. The demographic profile of the participants; 46% of the respondents were male and 54% were female, all of them were aged between 17 to 19. Regarding feelings about spending time with parents, it was discovered that 62.4% of the total 101 participants are delighted with their mother, while 49% are very happy with their father. While 5.9% and 3% of participants are unhappy and very unhappy with their mothers, just 3.5% of the total participants are unhappy with their fathers. While a significant proportion (almost 40%) have a strong bond with their mother. On the other hand, over three-quarters of respondents have disagreements with their fathers' proximity and dependence, according to the research. While a sizable proportion (about 30%) have a strong bond with their father. Whereas over 40% of respondents calculated overall intimacy with their father was low, and nearly 30% with their mother, the remaining respondents were either medium or highly intimate with their parents. Overall relationship intimacy with mothers and fathers was also found to be linked to various relationship characteristics such as conflict (P<0.000), closeness (P<0.000), and dependence (P<0.000) according to the findings. Things that participants liked (P-value=0.047) and disliked (P-value=0.040) most about their mother, feelings when spending time with their mother (P-value=0.066), and things that dislike most about their father (P-value=0.058) had a marginally significant connection with gender.

COVID-19 pandemic dismantles the healthcare system across the globe, especially, the war-torn country, Somalia based in the ‘Horn of Africa’. In order to tackle the surge of this pandemic, vaccination is considered as one of the most powerful preventive interventions. This study aimed to explore the level of knowledge and attitude towards this vaccination among the university students located in the Garowe, Puntland state of Somalia. The study participants were joined this cross-sectional research through purposively sampling technique. Data were collected from three different universities based in Garowe were analyzed using statistical software (SPSS version-20). The majority of the respondents (61%) were aged between 20–25 years. The mean score of knowledge was 8.99±2.19 with range (5-11). Nearly 60.0% participants had knowledge score more than mean score. About 61% of the respondents reported that the vaccine can protect against COVID-19, 27% responded that they don’t know anything about the vaccine, and 12% reported that the vaccine can cause the disease. 30% of the respondents mentioned that the vaccine is not available in their country. About 70.4% of the respondents believe that the COVID-19 vaccine has no side effects. The mean score of attitudes towards covid 19 vaccination was 6.21±2.85 with range (1-10). Only 30.0% had attitude score more than mean score while 40.1%, 39.8% and 20.1% had good, average and poor attitude towards covid 19 vaccination. A further study with a large sample encompassing a higher number of universities across the states of Somalia bears a greater level of potentialities in policy formulation.
