Abstract

Introduction: The main aim of the study is to assess the effect of progressive muscle relaxation therapy on physical parameter and anxiety among patient with myocardial infarction admitted at selected hospitals of Durg (C.G). The study was conducted at B.M Shah Hopsital and K. Gurunath Cardiac Hospital for patient with myocardial infacrtion. Materials and Methods: Quasi experimental pretest posttest control group design was adopted for this study. Convenient sampling technique was used to select the study participants. The patient with myocardial infarction was assigned to experimental group (n=23) and the other to the control group (n=23). Progressive muscle relaxation therapy was given for 20 minutes once daily in the morning between 6-8AM for 7 days. Physical parameter and anxiety measurements were taken from the first day and 7 day and was documented. Result: The study showed a significant reduction of physical parameters mean blood pressure from 5.75 to 5.5 mm of Hg, for pulse 5.5 to 5, for respiration 7 to 5.7, and SPO2 7 to 5.8. calculated ‘t’ value was greater than the table value at 0.001 level of significance. Level of anxiety before and after progressive muscle relaxation among the experimental group was 50and 44.5. respectively. Standard deviation was 7.0, 6.6 and the calculated ‘t’ value was 3.4. While comparing with table value, it showed that the calculated ‘t’ value was greater than the table value at 0.001 level of significance. Conclusion: Hence it is concluded that progressive muscle relaxation therapy is an effective measure to maintain the level of physical parameters and reduce the level of anxiety among patient with myocardial infarction at selected hospitals of Durg (C.G).   Keywords: H: Hypothesis, C.G: Chhattisgarh.

Abstract

Background: A dangerous fungal infection that has recently emerged as a hazard for COVID-19 survivors, mucormycosis was first identified in Bangladesh on May 8, 2021, and is now commonly referred to as "black fungus" in the COVID-19 period. During the COVID-19 epidemic, black fungi are eighty times more common in India. The COVID-19 black fungi has spread to numerous nations, including Bangladesh, Pakistan, Russia, Iran, and Brazil. Being physically close to India, Bangladesh is concerned about the worrisome rise in COVID-19-related black fungus infections in India, which have a high fatality rate of about 50%. Materials and Methods: Pre-experimental design with one-group pre-test and post-test study method was used to examine staff nurses' understanding of black fungus avoidance and control; the participants were chosen through handy sampling. Result: The data collected was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics in terms of frequency, mean, standard deviation, and associated by chi square test. Among 60 staff nurse in pre-test, 29 (48.33%) have poor knowledge, 27 (45%) have average knowledge, 4 (6.67%) having good, and in post-test 44 (33.33%) having good knowledge, 16 (26.67%) having average knowledge. Under Pre-test the Mean of the Scores was 8.3 (55.33%) under the Post- test the Mean was observed as 12.2 (81.33%).   Keywords: Teaching programme, Assess, Effectiveness, Video assisted teaching programme, Knowledge.
