Background: According to the World Health Organization, about 15 million people suffer from stroke worldwide each year. From this 15 million people, 5 million die and another 5 million are permanently disabled. Objective:1. To assess the knowledge regarding warning signs and prevention of stroke among hypertensive patients before and after the structured teaching programme. 2. To evaluate the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding warning signs and prevention of stroke among hypertensive patients. 3. To find out the association between pre-test levels of knowledge regarding warning signs and prevention of stroke among hypertensive patients with selected socio demographic variables. Materials & Methods: In order to achieve the objectives of the study, one group pre-test and post-test design with evaluative approach was adopted. Purposive sampling technique was used to select the sample. The data was collected from 60 respondents by using a structured questionnaire. Results: During pre-test, out of 60 respondents 41 (68.3 percent) of the respondents had inadequate knowledge, 19 (31.7 percent) had moderate knowledge and none had adequate knowledge. But during post-test 39 (65.0 %) had adequate knowledge, 21(35.0 %) respondents had moderate knowledge and there was no respondent with inadequate knowledge regarding warning signs and prevention of stroke among hypertensive patients. Conclusion: This study will be helpful in improving the knowledge regarding warning signs and prevention of stroke among hypertensive patients and thereby they can lead a health-related quality of life.Keywords

Carom seed oil has been found to relieve the menstrual discomfort by relaxing the uterine muscles and decreasing the intra uterine pressure. Leaves and their essence are aromatic, stimulant, carminative and antispasmodic. This is also used in case of vomiting, gastric colic, diarrhea and menstrual cramps. Therefore, it was intended to do an experimental study to examine the effect of Carom seed oil on menstrual cramps with an assumption that this therapy may relieve menstrual cramps. The research design selected for the present study is experimental research design. The study was conducted in the Global College of Nursing at Bangalore. The criteria for the selection of the setting are the availability of subjects, feasibility of conducting the study. The target population in the present study was adolescent girls studying in Global College of Nursing at Bangalore. The sample of this study comprised of 60 adolescent girls. Simple random sampling (Random table number) method was used to draw the sample. A Visual Analogues Scale (VSA) to assess the pain intensity of the students. The findings revealed that in experimental group, majority of the subjects, 24 (80%) had severe pain, 6 (20%) subjects had moderate pain, none had severe pain, and in control group majority of the subjects, 22 (73.3%) had severe pain, 8 (26.6%) subjects had moderate pain, none had pain. After the intervention, in experimental group, majority of the subjects, 24 (80%) had mild pain, 6 (20%) subjects had moderate pain, none had severe and in control group majority of the subjects, 25 (83.3%) had moderate pain, 5 (16.6%) subjects had mild pain and none severe pain. The adolescent girls had reduction in the menstrual cramps as evidenced by the results shown. Hence carom seed oil is effective in the reduction of menstrual cramps and it was found to be less cost effective procedure. Therefore, carom seed oil should be used as a supportive therapy among adolescent girls to alleviate menstrual cramps.Keywords

The study aims to assess the knowledge and determine the relationship regarding the ill effects of grain dust exposure on respiratory system among flour mill workers. The research approach for this study is explorative and descriptive survey. The researcher planned to explore the knowledge regarding the ill effects of grain dust exposure on respiratory system and its prevention. The structured interview schedules were tried out with flour mill workers in selected flour mill at Bangalore rural. Split half method was done and co-efficient correlation was found (r = 0.82) which indicates high degree of reliability. Finding of the study showed, knowledge score of the flour mill workers 82% of them were having below average knowledge and 10% of them were having average knowledge and 8% of them only having good knowledge regarding the ill effects of grain dust exposure. The study concluded that the knowledge of mill workers is a basic education programme in community area such as occupational health.
