Breast milk is the best food for the baby and baby can successfully get adequate feeding when mothers can properly latch on their babies to breast which prevents all the nipple sores, crack nipples, painful feeding which is the major obstacle for successful breastfeeding. Objectives: The current study was undertaken with objectives to assess the knowledge regarding breastfeeding and newborn feeding pattern among newborn babies of postnatal mothers in selected hospital Ambala, Haryana. Method: Experimental research design with cross sectional descriptive study was adopted. The study participants comprised of 80 postnatal mothers were selected from rural Hospital of District. Ambala, Haryana by using purposive sampling technique. Data was collected from postnatal mothers through face-to-face interview by using structured knowledge questionnaire and modified newborn feeding pattern scale. Findings: SPSS version 20 was used for statistical analysis. More than one third of post natal mothers (42.5%) were in 23-27 years of age. Nearly half of postnatal mothers (47.5%) had education up to higher secondary. Less than two third (61.2%) of postnatal mothers had initiated of breastfeed within one hour. More than half (53.7%) of the postnatal mothers were having below average level of knowledge regarding breastfeeding. Less than half babies (47.5%) had inadequate feeding pattern.

Aim and Objectives: To assess the knowledge of, and attitudes to healthcare ethics among north Indian physicians and nurses. Material and Methods: The present cross sectional study was carried out among 298 physicians and 107 nurses of three medical colleges of northern India in the month of July-August 2011 using pretested self administered questionnaire. Data analysis was done using SPSS version 20. Result and Conclusion: There was a statistically significant difference between the opinion of physicians and nurses with respect to adherence to confidentiality, paternalistic attitude of doctors (doctors should do their best for the patient irrespective of the patients opinion), informing close relatives of a patients for consent procedures.

Teaching is one of the main components in educational planning which is a key factor in conducting educational plans through various teaching strategies such as simulation, demonstration and video teaching. AIM: The study aimed to assess lecture cum demonstration (LCD) versus video-based teaching (VBT) regarding active management of the third stage of labor (AMTSL) in terms of knowledge and skills of General Nursing Midwifery (GNM) students. METHODS: This was a quasi-experimental study conducted on 100 GNM third-year students selected by purposive sampling and randomly assigned to LCD (n = 50) and VBT (n = 50) groups. Sample characteristics performa, Structured Knowledge Questionnaire, and observational checklist were used to collect data from GNM students through self-report and observational technique. RESULTS: The study results showed that the mean posttest knowledge scores of LCD (17.32 ± 2.14) and VBT group (16.90 ± 2.41) were nearly equal and mean rank posttest skills score of LCD group (54.40) was slightly higher than VBT group (49.51), but computed " t " value of mean posttest knowledge and computed " Z " value of skill score of both LCD and VBT group (0.47, 0.54) were found to be statistically non-significant at 0.05 level of significance. CONCLUSION: It can be concluded that both LCD and VBT were found to be effective in improving knowledge and skills of GNM students regarding AMTSL.

As life expectancy has increased, a menopausal woman has to spend one-third of her life span with estrogen deprivation stage that leads to major long-term symptomatic and metabolic complications. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study conducted on 103 menopausal women between 40 and 60 years of age residing in Ambala district, Haryana. In the experimental group, women received lifestyle modification program that includes six domains, i.e., health responsibility, physical activity, nutrition, spiritual growth, interpersonal relations, and stress management. Intervention was divided into two sessions of total 2-h duration on 2 consecutive days. Sociodemographic pro forma, Menopausal Rating Scale, and Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile II were used to collect data from women through face-to-face interview. Results: There was a significant difference (P < 0.05) in mean menopausal symptom score and mean health-promoting behavior score in the experimental group after the intervention, but there was no significant difference in the comparison group (P > 0.05). It was revealed that there was no significant difference between the groups with regard to mean menopausal symptom score and mean health-promoting behavior score before intervention (P < 0.05). The mean posttest menopausal symptom score (t = −8.99, P = 0.01**) was significantly low and the mean health-promoting behavior score (t = 8.7, P = 0.01**) was significantly high in the experimental group. Conclusion: Based on the finding of the study, it can be concluded that Lifestyle modification program was significantly effective in reducing menopausal symptoms and improving health-promoting behaviors among women.

These include application of oils, herbs, and red chilies on wound inflicted by rabid animals, and not washing the wound properly. General practitioners (GPs) constitute a key source of medical care in study area and are approached for anti-rabies treatment by victims of animal bites. Aim: The aim of the present study is to assess the knowledge and practices among the general practitioners (GPs) regarding dog bite management. Settings and Design : Community-based cross-sectional study. Materials and Methods: The present study was carried out in the private and public clinics of Ambala city from January 2012 to April 2012 using a pre-tested self-administered questionnaire. The study population composed of 100 GPs comprising 45 MBBS or above degree holders (Group 1) and 55 other GPs like BAMS, RMPs, etc (Group 2). Statistical Analysis Used: Interpretation of data was done using percentages and proportions. χ2 -Test was used to test the statistical difference in the knowledge between the two groups. Results: Out of the total, 68% and 29% respondents in Group 1 and Group 2, respectively, correctly told that wound must be washed with soap and water for minimum period of 15 min. A total 71% and 11% respondents in Group 1 and Group 2, respectively, could correctly answer about the target groups for pre-exposure prophylaxis. A total 62% GPs did not know the high-risk groups to whom pre-exposure prophylaxis has to be given. Conclusions: There was an apparent lack of awareness among the GPs regarding appropriate animal wound management and vaccine administration. Reorientation programs and continued medical education for GPs are required to highlight the WHO guidelines regarding treatment of animal bite.
