A survey was done in a remote rural area of Karnataka with a questionnaire. Overall 274 lactating mothers from a population of 10,000 were interviewed, to know the practices of breast‐feeding with special reference to lactation failure. It was found that the majority of the mothers (97.0%) in rural areas breast‐feed. Lactation failure is not a problem. 58.4% reject colostrum but know the advantages of breast‐feeding while a small number of mothers (19.8%) start supplementary feeds by three months of age. However, 80.3% of mothers breast‐feed up to 12 months. Burping (44.53%) and proper posturing (92%) of the child is not being practiced. Initiation of breast‐feeding within 4–6 hours was noted only in 8.03% of mothers whereas 53.07% of mothers and 9.72% of mothers started sugar water and castor oil as prelacteal feedings respectively. It is interesting to note that grandparents (21.9%) and awillary nurse midwives (21.9%) are the chief influencers of breast‐feeding.
Scores on Attitude towards Euthanasia were correlated with scores on Death Anxiety among 343 female nurses in India using Templer's Death Anxiety Scale and the authors' 24-item attitude scale. No significant correlation was found between the two sets of scores (r = -.09) or a nonlinear score on relation. Age of nurses was not significantly related to Attitude towards Euthanasia (r = .07) or Death Anxiety (r = .11). As measured, death anxiety has no bearing on attitude about euthanasia.
