Title: A Study to Assess the Knowledge Regarding Health Promoting First Aid Services among First Year GNM Students Authors: Malagi, Vasantha; Glory, R Stephy; Abdul Majeed, Tameem; M, Srikruthi Abstract: PROBLEMSTATEMENT: “A study to assess the knowledge regarding health promoting first aid services among first year GNM student” OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY • To assess the knowledge of first-year GNM students regarding health-promoting first aid services. • To classify the knowledge levels of first-year GNM students on health-promoting first aid services into Adequate, moderate, and inadequate categories. METHODOLOGY: A Cross Sectional research design was used to assess the level of knowledge regarding health- promoting first aid services among first-year GNM students. Data was collected from 50 participants selected through non-probability convenience sampling technique using a structured questionnaire consisting of two sections. RESULT: The study was conducted among 50 first-year GNM students to assess their knowledge regarding health promoting first aid services. The findings revealed that the majority of the participants (56%) had adequate knowledge, while 34% demonstrated moderate knowledge, and only 10% had inadequate knowledge. This show that while more than half of the participants had adequate knowledge, a significant portion still had only moderate or inadequate understanding of first aid practices. These findings emphasize the need to enhance the current first aid curriculum and provide more practical exposure. The mean knowledge score was 18, Median knowledge score was 19, with a standard deviation of 5.03. The minimum score was 5, and the maximum score was 25, indicating wide variation in student knowledge levels This indicates that more than half of the students have a satisfactory understanding of first aid measures. However, a considerable proportion of students still fall under moderate and adequate categories, suggesting a need for enforcing first aid training and awareness during the early stages of nursing education.

Title: Impact of Booklet Regarding Rooming – In Among Nursing Students in a Selected Nursing College in Bangalore Authors: Santhosh, Daras Esqulin; Shaji, Angel; Raj, Anaswara; N. K., Amal Krishna; Hilari, Alex Abstract: The postnatal period is a critical phase for both the mother and the newborn, during which appropriate care and bonding are essential for the well-being of both. One important concept in modern maternal and newborn care is “rooming in,” which refers to the practice of keeping the newborn in the same room with the mother 24 hours a day, instead of separating them into a nursery. This practice supports early initiation and continuation of breastfeeding, strengthens the maternal-infant bond, enhances the mother's confidence in newborn care, and reduces hospital-acquired infections in newborns. Rooming-in is strongly recommended by organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) as part of the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI). Despite these recommendations, the implementation of rooming-in varies across healthcare settings, and nursing students may have limited knowledge or understanding about its benefits, leading to gaps in effective maternal-newborn care. Nursing students, as future healthcare providers, play a vital role in promoting evidence-based practices such as rooming-in. Educating them at an early stage ensures better clinical practice and advocacy for newborn care. Providing a structured and easily understandable information booklet can serve as an effective educational intervention to enhance their knowledge and positively influence their attitudes toward rooming-in. This study is therefore undertaken to assess the impact of an information booklet on the knowledge level of nursing students regarding rooming-in. By comparing pre-test and post-test knowledge scores and evaluating associations with socio demographic factors, the study aims to determine the effectiveness of the booklet as a teaching-learning tool

Title: Assessing the Knowledge and Awareness of Domestic Waste Management among People in a Rural Community at Bengaluru Authors: Malagi, Vasantha; Shibu, Sharon; Yohannan, Sujith; J, Sivani; P. K., Sibin Abstract: Domestic waste management is one of the most pressing challenges affecting public health and environmental sustainability, particularly in rural areas where infrastructure and awareness remain limited. Improper disposal practices such as open dumping and burning of waste contribute to soil, water, and air pollution, while also increasing the risk of vector borne diseases. With the rapid growth of non-biodegradable waste, the importance of assessing people’s knowledge and awareness becomes essential in formulating strategies to promote effective waste segregation and safe disposal. This study was conducted to evaluate the knowledge and awareness of domestic waste management among people in a rural community of Bengaluru.
