Nursing Students at Smt. Nagarathnamma College of Nursing Bangalore Authors: K.M., Geeta; Farhan, Muhammed; Mufassir; Aslam, Muhammed; Das, Merin Sarah Abstract: Introduction: Organ donation is one of the greatest humanitarian acts that provides hope and a new lease of life to patients suffering from end-stage organ failure. Despite significant medical advancements and awareness campaigns, the rate of organ donation remains low due to lack of knowledge, fear, myths, and cultural or religious misconceptions. This research was undertaken to assess the knowledge, attitude, and awareness regarding organ donation among individuals and to determine the need for effective educational interventions. Objectives: The objectives of the were to assess " An exploratory study to evaluate the knowledge regarding organ donation among fourth year B.Sc. Nursing students at Smt. Nagarathnamma College of Nursing Bangalore “and to determine the association between their awareness scores and selected demographic variables such as age, education, health status, gender, family income, place of residence and occupation. Methods: A descriptive research design was used for the study. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire from selected participants, focusing on their understanding of organ donation, willingness to donate, and perceived barriers. The findings revealed that while most respondents expressed a positive attitude toward organ donation, their level of knowledge about the process, eligibility, legal aspects, and registration procedures was limited. Misconceptions and lack of motivation were identified as major factors hindering donation willingness. Result: The study highlights the crucial role of nurses and other healthcare professionals in educating the public about the importance of organ donation, clarifying doubts, and encouraging voluntary registration. It also emphasizes the need for continuous awareness programs through schools, communities, and media to promote organ donation as a social responsibility and a moral duty. Conclusion: The research indicates that improved awareness and positive reinforcement through health education can significantly increase the rate of organ donation, thereby saving numerous lives.

Infection control is the discipline concerned with preventing nosocomial or health care associated infection, a practical sub discipline of epidemiology infection, it is a vital through often non-supported and not recognized as a part of health care. Hospital acquired infection (HAI) is a major global safety concerned for both patient as well as health care professionals. Many factors stimulate infection among hospitalized patient- „decreased resistance among patient‟. „Increasing variation of medical procedure and invasive techniques crafting potential roots of infection‟ and the transmission of drug -resistant bacteria is packed among hospital population where poor practice in infection control may facilitate transmission.

For years, the traditional way of teaching, mostly through lectures and note-taking, has been the standard. While this method has its place, it often leads to passive learning, where students simply listen and memorize instead of truly understanding or applying what they've learned. In today’s world, education is changing. New methods are being explored to make learning more engaging and effective. One of these is the flipped classroom approach. In this method, students go through learning materials—like videos or readings—on their own before coming to sessions. Then, instead of listening to long explanations, their time together is used to discuss, ask questions, solve problems, or work on activities that deepen their understanding. This active way of learning helps students take more responsibility for their education and often improves their ability to think critically. For students in nursing, who are preparing to care for real people in real-life situations, this shift in teaching style could be especially helpful. In their early stages of training, many nursing students struggle with complex topics or connecting theory to practical care. The flipped approach might offer a way to make learning more personal, flexible, and meaningful. Even though this method is being used more in different fields, there hasn’t been much research— especially in the nursing field—on whether it actually works better than traditional teaching. That’s why this study was planned: to look at both methods side by side and see which one truly helps nursing students learn better.

To evaluate the knowledge and awareness regarding health hazards associated with soft drink consumption among BSC NURSING students at Smt. Nagarathnamma College of Nursing, BENGALURU. 2. To assess the level of knowledge about the contents and nutritional value of soft drinks. 3. To evaluate students’ awareness regarding the short-term and long-term health effects of regular soft drink consumption. The present study provided valuable insights into the role of structured educational interventions in improving nursing students’ knowledge regarding the health hazards associated with soft drink consumption. The primary aim was to assess baseline knowledge, evaluate the effectiveness of an awareness program, and determine the association between pre-test knowledge and selected demographic variables. The findings highlighted a considerable knowledge gap among students in the pre-test, indicating that many were not adequately aware of the adverse health consequences linked to frequent soft drink intake. The awareness session introduced in this study was specifically designed to provide students with accurate and comprehensive information about the harmful effects of soft drinks, including obesity, diabetes, dental decay, and cardiovascular problems. The results showed a significant increase in knowledge scores after the intervention, confirming the effectiveness of the educational program in achieving its objectives. No significant association was found between knowledge levels and demographic variables, suggesting that lack of awareness was consistent across all groups. These findings emphasize the importance of integrating structured educational programs on nutrition and lifestyle into nursing education to fill knowledge gaps, promote healthy habits, and prevent diet-related diseases among young adults. The results further highlight the potential of such interventions to support public health initiatives by equipping future nurses with the knowledge and motivation to advocate for healthier choices within their communities.
