The views of fathers have been shown to be important determinants of infant feeding decisions, but men's perceptions of breastfeeding and formula feeding are rarely explored. Our objectives were to address this gap and examine the attitude of men towards breast feeding. The focus of this study was to assess breastfeeding attitudes among men population to provide a foundation for intervention to increase duration of exclusive breastfeeding rates.
A cross-sectional comparative study was conducted among 100 men. The population consisted of married and unmarried men in Tricity (Chandigarh, Panchkula and Mohali) enrolled through Convenience sampling technique. Likert scale was used to assess the attitude of men regarding breastfeeding. T-test was used to determine the attitude of married and unmarried men and chi-square was adopted to determine the association between attitude with selected socio demographical variables like age, marital status, family type and education status.
Results showed that Out of 100 men (50 married, 50 unmarried), majority of (65%) of men had their education qualification as graduation and majority of (85%) belongs to nuclear family. Maximum (51%) of men have their age more than 25 years. The mean score of married men regarding breastfeeding attitude is 76.26 with standard deviation 6.53, unmarried men with total mean score 76.08 with standard deviation of 7.43. Overall Majority 71% male have positive attitude towards breastfeeding and only 29% men have negative attitude towards breastfeeding. Majority of (72%) married men have positive attitude and only 14(28%) married men have negative attitude towards breastfeeding. Whereas majority (70%) unmarried men have positive attitude and only 15(30%) of unmarried men have negative attitude towards breastfeeding. Independence t test showed that there is no significant diffences between the attitude of married and unmarried men towards breastfeeding (p>.005). There was no significant association between attitude score and selected variables like marital status, age, education qualification, and type of family (p> .005).This study helps to determine what attitudes are prevailing among married and unmarried men population. And certain education interventions need to be provided to unmarried men regarding breastfeeding.

Nursing profession began with a genuine desire to serve and care for others, combined with a sense of compassion and commitment. Nursing teachers play a vital role in the health care system globally. The professionalism and performance of nursing teachers, link closely to the productivity and quality of services they provide. It is important to identify factors influencing professionalism of nursing teachers if the quality of education in the organizations to be improved. A non experimental methodological study was carried out to develop professionalism assessment scale for nursing teachers. The conceptual framework used to guide this study was Healthy Work Environments for Nurses Components, Factors and Outcomes developed by Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario in 2007. Scale was prepared under five stages i;e conceptualization and item generation, preliminary evaluation, administration to development sample, analysis of scale development data and scale refinement and validation. Psychometric qualities of the scale such as validity (content, convergent, divergent and know group) and reliability (internal consistency and stability) was determined at preliminary level. After preliminary evaluation, scale was introduced to 30 nursing teachers of various nursing institutions using judgmental sampling technique. SPSS was used for statistical analysis. Factor analysis approach was used to determine construct validity of the scale. Principal component analysis (extraction method) was used to determine total variance of scale items which resulted into extraction of nine components (domains of professionalism) of scale based on Eigenvalue 1. Further Varimax with Kaiser Normalization (Rotation Method) was performed to determine scale items correlation and all 34 scale's items were positively correlated and retained in the scale (Based on factor loading of ˃0.4). Reliability (internal consistency) of scale was determined. Cronbach's Alpha is used to determine internal consistency (p=.926) where as test retest method was used to determine scale's stability (p=.89) and scale found to be reliable. Domain wise correlation were also calculated which indicates high internal consistency among all nine domains of scale. Finally scale user's norms were established.Keywords

Findings: The study concludes that all the study participants had good health related quality of life with the mean and SD of 130.89 ± 16.573 respectively. As per chi square test, association between health-related quality of life and type of family, occupational status and family history of diabetes mellitus found significant at level of p <0.05.
