Methods: Evaluative approach was used and the design adopted for the study was one group pre test post test design. 30 primary school teachers were selected by using non probability purposive sampling technique in selected schools at Mysore. Pilot study was conducted, the tool and study design were found to be feasible. The data was collected by using personal proforma, structured knowledge questionnaire and an information booklet was administered. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The results of study revealed that there was a significance of difference between the mean pre test and mean post test knowledge scores (t=12.90) which was found to be highly significant at 0.05 level of significance. The result also shows that the knowledge scores of primary school teachers had no significant association with their selected personal variables.

Rates of depression have increased over the past five decades, with younger age of onset. Many adolescents suffer from brief periods of depression when they are faced with an upsetting event or disappointment.
Aim: The aim of the present study was to assess and correlate life events and depressive symptoms among adolescents studying at selected schools in Mysore.

Present study findings shows that 50 adolescents have no depressive symptom, 40 adolescents have mild depressive symptom and 10 adolescents have suggestive of major depressive symptom. The calculated correlation coefficient 'r' value r(100) = 0.886 between life events and depression found to be significant at 0.05 level. Chi square was computed to find the association with selected personal variables and was not significant at 0.05 level except for gender, class of study and occupation of father.

Background: Emergency nurses frequently contact patients in the emergency department before the patient seen by a physician. In this situation, the nurse must be skilled at rapid, accurate physical examination, early recognition of life-threatening illness or injury, the use of advanced monitoring and treatment equipment, and in some cases, the ordering of testing and medication according to "advance treatment guidelines" or "standing orders" set out by the hospital's emergency physician staff.
Objectives:
1. To assess the pre-test knowledge scores of 4th year B.Sc Nursing students on utilization of emergency crash cart system in hospital.
2. To assess the effectiveness of self instructional module of knowledge on utilization of emergency crash cart system in hospital in terms of post test knowledge scores
3. To develop self instructional module on utilization of emergency Crash Cart System in Hospital.
Methods: Quasi experimental one group pre-test and post-test design with evaluative approach was used. Study was carried out in selected Nursing Colleges in Mysore, using simple random sampling. 100 4th year B.Sc Nursing students were selected as samples. Data was collected by a self - administered questionnaire which includes demographic data, and 30 items related to General information (10), Definition, purposes and contents (7), and types of emergency crash cart and its maintenance (20). Self-instructional module was administered after assessing the pre-test. A post test was conducted after 7 days with same tool.
Results: Findings reveal that the among 100 students majority 47(47%) of them were in the age group between 22-25 yrs. 52(52%) were females, and 37(37%) of them were got information from Class Teachers .Pre test revealed that 4th year B.Sc Nursing students were having low level of knowledge with a mean score of 18.35. After giving Self-instructional module post test score increased to 23.69, which shows the effectiveness of Self instructional module. It has been found that variables like age, sex and source of information shows there will be significant association with Post- test knowledge level.
Interpretation and conclusion: As the mean post test score is significantly higher than that of the pre-test it is evident that the knowledge of 4th year B.Sc Nursing students was improved after the educational intervention. The tool developed can be used to identify individuals in need of educational intervention as well as to assess the effectiveness of emergency crash cart system. Implications of various aspects of nursing care addressed and recommendations for the future research are discussed.
