This study determined the health status and work quality of nurses in a private tertiary hospital. A correlational descriptive design of 40 nurses were selected using convenience sampling. Nurses in this study were relatively young (M=26.52, SD=2.76), female, and have worked for 3 years. Most nurses reported less than 16 average hours per week. Nurses' level of health status in terms of physical (M=2.39±0.24), mental/emotional state (M=2.43±0.24), and stress evaluation (M=2.42±0.31) are relatively fair. Life enjoyment (M=3.23±0.10) and over-all quality of life (M=3.10±0.12) among nurses are remarkably good. Work quality on leadership and support (M=3.64±0.03), nurse's participation in the workplace (M=3.35±0.11), collegial nurse-physician relations (M=3.34±0.04) were described as very good while staffing and resource adequacy (M=2.87±0.29) and nursing foundations (M=3.09±0.14) was good. Income of nurses is significantly correlated to their health status (r=1.092, p=0.054) and work quality (r=93.958, p=0.025). There is a significant difference on the health status (t=40.036, p=0.000) and work quality (t=42.232, p=0.000) of nurses according to average of duty hours. The health status and work quality are influenced by salary and differs in terms of clinical hours. The need to review compensation scheme of nurses and clinical hours in the nursing practice is recommended.

Background: Globally cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer that occurs among women. In India, cancer cervix got the second rank of all cancers which causes the highest death rate among women. Incidence and Death due to cancer cervix among early married women is quite high compare to other group of women. Women from rural areas are not aware of the cancer cervix, its prevention and early diagnosis. Therefore it is important to educate early women and impart knowledge regarding cancer cervix and its prevention. Aims and objectives: 1. To identify the predisposing factors of cancer cervix among early married women. 2. To determine the effectiveness of Nurse-Led Education on cancer cervix among early married women. 3. To find out the correlation between the knowledge and attitude on cancer cervix among early married women. 4. To find the association between the post-test level of knowledge and attitude on cancer cervix with their selected demographic variables among early married women. Materials and methods:  One group pre-test post-test design was adopted for the study to collect the data. A total of 60 samples in Kaitheri Nagar at Madurai were selected as samples through the non-probability purposive sampling technique. A check list was used to identify the predisposing factors and structured interview questionnaire, modified attitude scale regarding cancer cervix was used as the tool. Nurse-Led Education was instructed to the early married women and after seven days, the post-test was done by using the same structured interview questionnaire and modified attitude scale. The obtained data were analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: Frequency and percentage distribution of predisposing factors of cancer cervix shows that 28(46.6%) women are at low risk, 21(35%) are at moderate risk and 11(18.3%) women are at high risk of cancer cervix. There was a positive correlation found between post-test level of knowledge and attitude (Karl Pearson correlation coefficient r= 0.674) which is significant at p<0.001 level. The findings conclude that there is a significant association between income and level of attitude of rural early married women. Since the χ2= 28.59 which is highly significant at p<0.001 level. And thus it was showed that Nurse-Led education has improved the knowledge and attitude of early married women regarding cancer cervix.

Bartter syndrome is one of the autosomal recessive disorder of renal system. The clinical manifestation and predicting results of Bartter syndrome depends upon mutation category and very bad mutation were repeatedly go along with bad prognosis. Bartter syndrome can be unpredictable categorized as a kidney tubulopathy (certain small tubes within the kidneys are affected), a salt-losing disorder (excrete excess amounts of salt), a salt-relesing tubulopathy, and a channelopathy (the ion medium in the kidneys are damaged). Bartter syndrome is a kind of renal disorders that leads to disproportion of electrolytes such as potassium, sodium, chloride, and correlated molecules in the body. Decreased potassium, decreased chloride, metabolic alkalosis, and growth failure are the most repeated clinical manifestations of Bartter syndrome. Even though Bartter syndrome can be fragmented into subcategories based on the gene occupying or symptomatology, significant overrun of symptoms and disease presentation exists among the sub classification and Bartter syndrome may be greatest consideration of as range of disease caused by some dissimilar gene mutations.

Objective: In pregnant woman, presence of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is associated with a low quality of life (QOL). However, till date no study has evaluated the effect of mild to moderate anaemia on QOL in pregnant females. In this regard, this is the first study to evaluate the HRQOL in pregnant women with IDA and factors associated with the overall QOL. Methods: We screened a total of 1270 participants, out of which 1170 participants were excluded. Finally, 100 participants fulfilled inclusion /exclusion criteria were included in the study. Data of all these 100 patients (50 in anaemia and 50 in control group) were collected and analysed. We evaluated HRQOL using three QOL measurement scales: SF-36, FACIT-fatigue and the FACT-An questionnaire. Results: No difference was found between two groups with regards to FACIT-Fatigue and FACT-An score. While using the SF-36 scale, control arm showed better QOL scores compared to test group (pregnant woman with IDA). Thus this finding highlights the relatively poorer QOL in pregnant anaemics with mild-moderate IDA. Conclusion: This study expanded our understanding of the QOL in pregnancy in relation to anemia. More studies with larger sample size are needed to further elucidate the impact of anemia in pregnancy.
