Objectives To assess the anxiety levels of patients undergoing MRI at selected hospitals in Bengaluru and to develop an information booklet to support anxiety reduction. Methodology A descriptive non-experimental research design was adopted. A total of 50 patients were selected through convenience sampling. Data were collected using a structured interview schedule and an anxiety rating scale. Results The majority of patients (58%) experienced moderate anxiety, followed by 30% with mild anxiety, and 12% with severe anxiety. The overall mean anxiety score was 31.46 (41.94%), indicating a moderate level of anxiety. Statistical analysis showed significant associations between anxiety levels and factors such as previous MRI experience and source of information. However, demographic variables like age, gender, education, and occupation showed no significant association. 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z http://13.232.72.61:8080/jspui/handle/123456789/9944 Title: Assess the Impact of Simulation - Based Learning [SBL] on Clinical Skills Development Among Second Year B.Sc Students at Selected Nursing College, Bengaluru Authors: Snehalatha, Reddy P; Rai, Sara; T, Rabeeh; Shan, Muhammed Abstract: Traditional teaching methods in nursing, such as lectures and demonstrations, often do not provide sufficient hands-on exposure to critical procedures like cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Simulation Based Learning (SBL) provides a safe, interactive, and controlled environment where nursing students can practice essential skills without compromising patient safety. Research evidence highlights its role in improving knowledge, psycho motor competence, critical thinking, and confidence among students, thereby bridging the gap between theory and clinical practice. 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z http://13.232.72.61:8080/jspui/handle/123456789/9942 Title: An Exploratory Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Video Assisted Teaching Programme on Knowledge and Practice Regarding Coronary Artery Diseases among Adolescents in Selected Colleges at Bangalore Authors: Nirmala; Asil, Mohammed; Fayis C K, Muhammed; Althaf T V, Muhammed; Favas C, Muhammed Abstract: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide and a major contributor to morbidity and mortality in India. Sedentary lifestyles, poor dietary patterns, smoking, alcohol consumption, and high stress levels have accelerated the incidence of CAD in recent decades. According to the World Health Organization and national health surveys, CAD continues to be one of the most common causes of premature death in India, particularly in urban populations and among younger adults. Urbanization has brought significant lifestyle transitions, particularly in metropolitan regions such as Bangalore. The National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5, 2019–2021) reported that obesity prevalence in urban areas is approximately 33.2% among women and 29.8% among men. In Karnataka, the trend is even more concerning due to rapid changes in food habits, long working hours, reliance on motorized transport, and reduced opportunities for physical activity. Obesity is not only a disease in itself but also a major risk factor for several chronic illnesses, including type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases. The combination of obesity and sedentary urban lifestyles makes CAD even more likely, contributing significantly to the rising burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in India. Despite the strong evidence linking obesity with CAD, many individuals remain unaware of the risks or fail to adopt preventive measures. Awareness of modifiable risk factors such as unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, smoking, and stress management remains low. Health education is critical in addressing this gap, yet in many communities, structured health education programmes are either unavailable, inadequately implemented, or ineffective in changing long-term behaviors. Conventional approaches, such as health talks, leaflets, or pamphlets, often fail to capture attention or ensure retention of knowledge. Innovative teaching strategies are therefore required to make health education more effective, engaging, and sustainable. One such approach is video-assisted teaching. Videos are a powerful medium that combine visual and auditory learning, making complex medical concepts easy to understand. They are especially useful in populations with varying literacy levels, as they demonstrate processes and behaviors in a clear, relatable, and memorable manner. Evidence from recent studies suggests that video-assisted teaching not only improves knowledge but also motivates individuals to adopt healthier practices, which is essential for the prevention of CAD and other lifestyle-related diseases. 9 10 This study seeks to assess the effectiveness of a video-assisted teaching programme on knowledge and practice regarding CAD among obese individuals in selected urban communities of Bangalore. The intention is to provide an accessible and engaging method of health education that empowers individuals to take proactive steps toward better heart health. By illustrating the functioning of the heart, demonstrating lifestyle modifications, and sharing real-life scenarios, the programme aims to encourage participants to adopt preventive behaviours such as healthy eating, regular physical activity, stress reduction, and timely medical consultations. 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z http://13.232.72.61:8080/jspui/handle/123456789/9940 Title: A Study to Assess the knowledge Regarding Prevention and management of Diabetic foot among 4 th year B.s.c Nursing Students in a Selected College Authors: Mohanlal, Syam; Antu, Joseph; Abudulla, Jasin; Biju, Irin; Dipashna Abstract: Gonorrhea, a common sexually transmitted infection caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, remains a major public health concern due to rising antimicrobial resistance and gaps in awareness. This study was conducted to assess the knowledge regarding prevention and management of gonorrhea among 4th year B.Sc. Nursing students in a selected college. A descriptive research design was adopted, and data were collected from 50 students using a structured self-administered questionnaire. The tool comprised demographic variables and 30 knowledge-based questions. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequency, mean, and percentage, along with chi-square tests to determine associations between knowledge and selected demographic variables. Findings revealed that the majority of students (82%) had average knowledge, 18% demonstrated poor knowledge, and none showed good knowledge of gonorrhea prevention and management. The mean knowledge score was 11.38 out of 30, with a mean percentage of 37.9%, indicating moderate awareness with considerable variability. Among socio-demographic factors, religion was significantly associated with knowledge level, while age, locality, family type, and prior sources of information showed no significant relationship. The study highlights the need for structured educational interventions and curriculum strengthening to enhance students’ knowledge and competencies. Improving awareness will equip future nurses to play an effective role in gonorrhea prevention, management, and public health promotion 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z
