Background: Postnatal period initiates immediately after the birth of a baby. The terms puerperium period is commonly used to refer to the first 6 weeks after delivery of baby. A postnatal care bundle used during this period and it will help to significantly improve patient outcomes.
Objective: To develop, test and pilot of Postnatal Care Bundle (PNCB) and to assess conventional postnatal care among the postnatal mothers and to evaluate the effectivity of Postnatal Care Bundle (PNCB) for early identification and prevention of postpartum complications among the postnatal mothers and to assess the satisfaction level of staff nurses after implementation of Postnatal Care Bundle and conventional postnatal care for early identification and prevention of postnatal complications among the postnatal mothers.
Methodology: The interventional analytical and true experimental research design approach will be used and the sample use for the postnatal mothers including the full term normal delivery, caesarean section will be and the random sampling use and sample size is 185 in each group i.e. control and experimental group. One group will be received conventional postnatal care and other group will be on postnatal care bundle. The outcome includes that postnatal care bundle help to early identification and prevention of postnatal complications among the postnatal mothers.
Conclusion: PNCB will be effective in quality care of postnatal period.
To assess the prevalence and risk factors which contribute to anemia among adolescent girls in selected
Introduction: ‘Anemia is a disease in which, because of one or more vital nutrient deficiencies, the blood hemoglobin content is lower than average, irrespective of the cause of such deficiency. In Maharashtra, according to District Level Household Survey (DLHS) 2002-2006, the prevalence of moderate anemia in adolescent girls was estimated to be 53%, whereas severe anemia was 29%.
Aims: To assess the Prevalence and risk factors which contribute to anemia among adolescent girls in selected Schools.
Research Methodology: A cross sectional study was carried in 150 adolescent girls age between 10 to 15 years. Quantitative research approach was used. Non-probability convenience sample technique was used.
Results: The data obtained to describe the sample characteristics including demographic variables (age of adolescent girls, education, mother education, type of family, monthly family income and type of diet), prevalence of anemia among adolescent girls, menstrual factors and dietary factors. The levels of anemia were seen into 4 categories, normal Hb% level, mild anemia, moderate anemia and severe anemia. In demographic variables, Type of family of adolescent girls (p=0.04) is statistically associated with prevalence of anemia. In menstrual factors, duration of blood flow is found to be statistically associated with menstrual factors of adolescent girls (p=0.0001). In dietary factors, it is interpreted dietary factors of adolescent girls is statistically not associated with their prevalence of anemia.
Conclusion: The prevalence of anemia is more in adolescent girls. A statistically significant was found between nuclear family but not with the other socio-demographic factors. No association was found between status of menstrual factors except duration of blood flow.
