A study to assess the knowledge and attitude of secondary school teachers regarding first aid management of selected emergencies among school children, at selected secondary schools at Ghataprabha, in view to prepare information booklet

"There is nothing more precious to a parent than a child and nothing more important to our future than the safety of our children.” Bill Clinton. First aid and emergency care should be provided by the teachers in situations like accidents, vomiting, convulsions, injuries, etc. A teacher should have adequate training regarding first aid and emergency measures since teachers act as a pivot in the school health services. The objectives of the study were 1. To assess the knowledge of secondary school teachers related to First aid management of secondary school children, in selected emergencies. 2. To identify the attitude of secondary school teachers regarding selected emergencies and First aid management, in secondary school children. 3. To find the association between knowledge and of secondary school teachers with selected demographic variables. 4. To find out the correlation between knowledge and attitude of secondary school teachers regarding selected emergencies and First aid management, in secondary school children. 5. To prepare an Information booklet based on selected First aid emergencies management for secondary school teachers. Methods A descriptive approach with descriptive correlation design was used for 50 secondary school teachers drawn through purposive sampling technique in a selected high school at Ghataprabha. The conceptual framework for the study was developed from Orem’s self-care theory. Incorporated with a modified model. The hypotheses formulated were that there will be an association between knowledge and selected demographic variables. The content validity and reliability of the tools were established. The pilot study was conducted using a structured knowledge questionnaire and Likert five-point scale. Each participant observation of the attitudes of teachers with the help of five-point Likert scale, a questionnaire was administered which was collected on the same day. An average of 4-5 observation was done per day following which the knowledge questionnaire was administered to the participant. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study findings revealed that Majority (48 %) of teachers had poor knowledge & (36%) of teachers had average knowledge & only (16 %) teachers had good knowledge. Age is associated with the level of knowledge of school teachers (2 = 14.92 P>0.05.) & Experience is associated with the level of knowledge of school teachers (2 = 12.99 P>0.05). It was also found that there is a positive correlation between knowledge & attitude of school teachers regarding first aid management of emergencies. The ‘r’ value computed was 0.72. Interpretation And Conclusion Majority (48 %) of teachers had poor knowledge of first & emergency management of selected emergencies.& (36%) of teachers had average knowledge & only (16 %) teachers had good knowledge. Majority of 15 female respondents have poor knowledge of First aid management of selected emergencies; whereas 9 Male has poor knowledge of first aid management. Only Six Male & two female have good knowledge. Age is associated with the level of knowledge of school teachers (2 = 14.92 P>0.05.) & Experience is associated with the level of knowledge of school teachers (2 = 12.99 P>0.05).

Module for DYSPRAXIA

In India 6 to 10 % of the population is affected by dyspraxia with 2% are severely affected by dyspraxia. It is defined as the Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) of the brain in childhood causing difficulty in activities requiring coordination and movements. Developmental coordination disorder may occur alone or with other developmental disorder such as DYSLEXIA, Attention /Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHT). It usually continues to adulthoods. The main objective of this module is to improve the child's disability. To support individual and families affected by DCD and to help perfection in health and educate to assist that dyspraxia/DCD. The further most important objective is to educate teachers and school-based therapists to increase the awareness and understanding of DYSPRAXIA. The major aim of the project is to improve the child’s gross motor movements. To increase the mental confidence of dyspraxia patients. To identify great scientist to the world with this disorder. Better living conditions and more hope in the life of people with DYSPRAXIA. And to create awareness about DYSPRAXIA in future and Mainly to save many people’s life.

Motion and Bluetooth controlled office automation cum power saver

The Motion & Bluetooth Controlled Office Automation Cum Power Saver, where the lights in the room will automatically turn on upon detecting a human motion and stay turned on until the person has left the room or there is no motion. Initially, when there is no human movement, the PIR Sensor does not detect any person and its OUT pin stays LOW. When the person enters the room, the change in infrared radiation in the room is detected by the PIR Sensor. The output of the PIR Sensor becomes HIGH. Since the Data OUT of the Sensor is connected to Digital Pin 8 of Arduino, whenever it becomes HIGH, Arduino will activate the relay by making the relay pin LOW as the relay module is an active LOW module. This will turn the Light ON. The light stays turned ON as long as there is movement in front of the sensor. If the person takes a nap or leaves the room, the IR Radiation will become stable (there will be no change) and hence, the Data OUT of the PIR Sensor will become LOW. This, in turn, will make the Arduino turn OFF the relay (make the relay pin HIGH) and the room light will be turned OFF. Along with Motion controlled this system will have control in users hand on Android mobile; the user can turn ON/OFF Load in a single click. The Android application will help the user to monitor the current status of Motion Sensor as well as to update new Delay Time to keep the load on even there is no Motion. By using the Android application it will be possible for the user to say after what time the system will shut down the load. The system will start buzzing if time to Shut Down the load is less than 30 Sec.

Analysing current online health services and proposing a model for health consultancy for baby care

In this paper, we are going to analyse the current online health services provided by the government and our major focus will be in the field of baby healthcare. Baby care is one of the toughest jobs in life. Caring for a newborn in itself is a challenge. There are various things which need to be kept in mind for the good health of the baby. Our idea is to propose a model of “health consultancy for Baby Care”. The model is an online medical consultancy service which will keep the parents of the newborn baby well informed about the various aspects which should be kept in mind during the baby care. Baby health is a very important aspect when it comes to a healthy society. A healthy baby in the initial stages of life is essential because this will make the baby grow into a healthy human being in the future. So this proposal is an effort from us to enlighten the people with some important techniques which can be helpful for them to take care of their babies.

Correlation between shoulder performance and scapular muscle strength among college students

Shoulder girdle motion is complex and involves a synchronous movement of the scapula and humerus. The scapula serves as the platform for humeral motion. Shoulder injuries are common in the course of the student population. A decrease in shoulder strength plays an important role in the decrease in scapular muscle strength. The hand does not function as an independent factor, but it also depends on the proximal joint stability. Therefore the focus of the study is to correlate shoulder performance and scapular muscle strength among college students. 55 college students with the age group of 18-25 years, both male and female were analyzed. Shoulder performance was assessed by using Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test (CKCUEST) and scapular muscle strength was assessed by using push-pull dynamometer. Statistical analysis was done by using Karl Pearson’s correlation coefficient test with p<0.05. There was a statistically significant correlation between shoulder performance and scapular muscle strength among college students.
