Background: Cancer is one of the main life-threatening disease among all diseases. Besides a large number of care efforts dedicated to this disease in the health system, cancer also imposes high costs on society. Aim of the Study: To evaluate the effectiveness of awareness program on self care management among patients undergoing radiotherapy. Methods: In this, study participants are a head and neck cancer patient, Interventional approach, The one group pre-test and post-test design. The head and neck cancer patient having an age group of more than 20 years will be included as per inclusion/exclusion criteria. The efficacy of the awareness program on management of self care in undergoing radiotherapy patients will be assessed by a structured knowledge questionnaire and perception questionnaire on radiotherapy. Each test having 20 items and the duration of the test will be 20 min. The pre-test will be assessed first day then the informational booklet on self care management undergoing radiotherapy will be provided to each patient and after seven days post-test will be assessed. Expected Outcome: Primary outcomes include evaluation of the efficacy of awareness on self care management in patients undergoing radiotherapy. Secondary outcomes involve Association of Knowledge and perception score related to management of self care among radiotherapy receiving patients related to their demographic variable. Conclusion: The study will be drawn from the results and after that article will be published in the peer-review journal.
Diagnosis and treatment of cancer can contribute to psychological distress and anxiety among cancer patients. Evidence indicates that information giving can be beneficial in reducing patient anxiety. To assess the pre-test knowledge regarding self care management among patients undergoing radiotherapy.2) To assess the pre-test perception regarding self care management among patients undergoing radiotherapy. 3)To evaluate the effectiveness of awareness program on self care management among patients undergoing radiotherapy. 4.)To assess the post-test knowledge regarding self care management among patients undergoing radiotherapy. 5)To assess the post-test perception regarding self care management among patients undergoing radiotherapy.6) To associate the knowledge regarding self care management among radiotherapy receiving patients related to their demographic variable.7) To associate the perception regarding self care management among radiotherapy receiving patients related to their demographic variable. This study was based on an Interventional evaluatory approach. In this study 60 Head and Neck cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy were included. The result shows the findings of the study were discussed. The mean value of the pre-test knowledge score is 4.68 and effectiveness of the awareness program is 13.88 .The mean difference between pre-test and post-test knowledge scores is 9.20±3.01. The mean value of the pre-test perception score is 44.56 and effectiveness of the awareness program is 76.76 .The mean difference between pre-test and post-test perception scores is 32.20±12.89. Hence it is statistically interpreted that the awareness program on knowledge and perception regarding self care management among cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy was effective.
Background: A typical manifestation of pancreatic tail cancer is large intestinal obstruction with perforation. Clinically the cancer of pancreas is usually complicated to diagnose. Most cancer patients are not having symptoms throughout during the initial stages of the cancer, which often leads to a delay in diagnosis. Treatment choices include surgery, chemotherapy, and palliative care. It is more common in African-Americans, slightly more common in men. Case Presentation: A female patient of 40 years from Wardha was admitted to Female surgery Ward, Unit-3, AVBRH on 18th December with a chief complaint of pain in epigastric region since 2weeks. Patient was apparently all right 2 months back then she was complaining of pain in the epigastric region which was insidious in onset, gradually progressive in nature, burning type of pain with radiating to left upper back. No history of fever, nausea vomiting, clay-coloured stools. After that patient was undergone on routine investigation in that total WBC count was increased i.e., 13000/cu mm and haemoglobin level were decreased i.e., 9.7gm%, liver biopsy revealed that metastasis of Adenocarcinoma probably of pancreatic origin, Computed tomography and ultrasound and it revealed that heterogenous iso-echoic mass in the tail of pancreas based on investigation she was diagnosed as a case of Carcinoma tail of pancreas and she was undergone on treatment of antibiotic before chemotherapy .after that chemotherapy treatment was done for management of pain. Conclusion: Pancreatic adenocarcinoma presents differently from large intestinal cancer and should be explored in the differential diagnosis of large intestinal obstruction.
Background: School going is a period of life with health and developmental needs and rights. It this period the children develop knowledge and skills, learn to manage emotions and relationships. The WHO defines school going from age 10 to 19 years. Investing in the world’s 1.2 billion school going can break cycles of poverty and inequity, highlights UNICEF in its 2011 State of the World’s Children report. Aggressive behaviors can obstruct instruction and success in a variety of interventions, preventing progress in a variety of developmental domains. Objectives: 1. To assess the knowledge among parents related to the aggression of school going children. 2. To determine the association between the knowledge score of parents with their demographic variables. Materials and Methods: This study was based on a descriptive approach, In this study 80 parents of school going children were selected from the rural area of Sawangi Meghe,Wardha District by using tool such as structured knowledge questionnaire with non-probability convenient sampling method data was collected. Results: The study showed that the mean percentage of knowledge score was 13.31±4.39 (44.36 %) according to the level of knowledge score regarding aggression among parents of school going children. 2.5% of the parents had poor, 42.5% had average, 45% had good knowledge score, 8.75% had very good knowledge score and 1.25% had excellent knowledge score. Conclusion: The present study is descriptive and aims to assess the knowledge regarding aggression among parents of school going children. Recommendation, we can study on Impact of the Aggression on student’s mental health and school performance.
