Health is the level of functional or metabolic efficiency of a living being. Health is deeply related to lifestyle. Today increasing emphasis is placed on health, health promotion, wellness and self care. Millions of workers spend majority of the working day on their feet and many hours in static positions. Standing uses 20% more energy than sitting and because human bodies are not designed to stand continuously at work, prolonged standing, can lead to tiredness, loss of concentration and increased health risks.

The most important risk factor for cervical cancer is infection with a virus known as Human Papilloma Virus. A study to assess the level of risk of cervical cancer among 100 women in Ullal community area, Mangalore with the objectives to assess the level risk of cervical cancer among women and to find the association between risk factor of cervical cancer and selected demographic variables of women. A modified cervical cancer risk assessment questionnaire was used. Results showed that 65(65%) women were at moderate level of risk of cervical cancer and 31(31%) at severe level and 4(4%) were at mild level of risk. there was a significant association found between education and age of the women at marriage(8.279), age at first child birth(14.949), number of children(30.451), regular menstruation (15.932), perineal hygiene practice(11.931) at p<0.05.Association was also found between occupation of the women and number of children (20.813),regular menstruation(11.794), practice of perineal hygiene (5.725), gynecological consultation (4.071) at p<0.05.The findings of the study helps the investigator to identify the risk factors of cervical cancer.Keywords

Nurses play a crucial role in the health care delivery system and it implies for the need of competent nurses. Competency is achieved by gaining theoretical knowledge and practical experience. The management of critically ill patients has become increasingly important in the modern medical and nursing systems. One among which is the patients with mechanical ventilator. There is a great need for improving nurse's knowledge regarding mechanical ventilator and the care to be provided. The present study attempts to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on modes of mechanical ventilator among staff nurses at Kempegowda Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Centre, Bangalore.
The study involved one group pre-test and post-test using pre-experimental design, with non-probability sampling technique in which purposive sampling method was used. 60 nurses working in Kempegowda Institute of Medical Sciences, Hospital and Research Centre were taken as samples (N=60) and requested to answer the structured knowledge questionnaire followed by implementation of structured teaching programme (STP) and post-test conducted after 8 days, using the same structured questionnaire to find out the effectiveness.
With regard to effectiveness of structured teaching programme and association of demographic variables with knowledge scores, it was observed that there is no significant association found at 0.05 level between pre-test level of knowledge of nurses and the selected demographic variables. The mean percentage of pre test and post test knowledge scores were 39.85% and 74.72% respectively and the enhancement of the knowledge score noticed in this study is 34.87%. The overall findings of the study clearly showed that the Structure Teaching Program was significantly effective in improving the knowledge of nurses regarding modes of mechanical ventilator.
