“…With respect to knowledge of risk factors, the majority of ASHAs (79.1%) were aware of alcohol/smoking as a risk factor for BD. This is similar to other studies conducted on knowledge of pregnant women about congenital anomalies where knowledge on risk factors like alcohol consumption was found to be 76.5% and 73.1% (Bello et al, 2013; Hiremath et al, 2016). However, a lack of knowledge with respect to the prophylactic role of folic acid in the prevention of BDs was characteristically reported, which improved significantly post‐training.…”

ObjectiveEarly identification, referrals and timely treatment is crucial to improve the outcome of Birth Defects (BDs). The role of Community Health Workers (CHWs) in India is largely fulfilled by Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs) who can play an important role in community‐based reporting and referrals of BDs in newborn. In the study area, ASHAs have been previously trained for identification of BDs under Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK); however, reporting through them was found to be sub‐optimal.MethodsTo strengthen the community based reporting of BDs through ASHAs, audio visual based training was provided to 1225 ASHAs in 6 tribal blocks of Palghar district in Maharashtra, India. The change in knowledge about BDs before and after training among 1023 participants was analyzed using paired sample t test & McNemar test.ResultsFindings reveal a significant increase in the knowledge of participants with regards to prevention, risk factors and identification of BDs after intervention as compared to before intervention.DiscussionThe study suggests that audio‐visual based refresher training increased knowledge of ASHAs with respect to identification, prevention and risk factors of BDs which may eventually improve reporting and referrals of BDs at community level.

“…Upper GI endoscopy can cause patients to be tense, irritable, anxious, and experience psychological and physiological changes such as nervousness and fear (Hiremath et al, 2016). In our study, we determined that participants who used a stress ball reported less anxiety after the procedure compared with the control group.…”

A stress ball is a simple and effective distraction method during painful procedures. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of using a stress ball during endoscopy on patients' pain, anxiety, and satisfaction levels. The randomized controlled study included 60 patients who underwent endoscopy in a training and research hospital in Istanbul. Patients were randomly assigned to the stress ball group or the control group. Patients in the stress ball group (n = 30) squeezed a stress ball during endoscopy, whereas the control group (n = 30) received no intervention during endoscopy. Data were collected using a sociodemographic form, a postendoscopy questionnaire, the Visual Analog Scale to assess pain and satisfaction, and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. Pain scores did not differ significantly between the groups before (p = .925) or during (p = .149) the endoscopy procedure but were significantly lower in the stress ball group after the procedure (p = .008). Similarly, preprocedure anxiety scores were comparable (p = .743), whereas postprocedure anxiety scores were significantly lower in the stress ball group (p < .001). The satisfaction score after endoscopy was higher in the stress ball group, but the difference was not statistically significant (p = .166). This study suggests that use of a stress ball during endoscopy reduces patients' pain and anxiety levels.
