The rate of disease in adolescence is increasing. It is assessed that the rate of youth malignant growth in the United States is expanded by 0.6% year. The most well-known malignancy type in adolescence is leukemia. Advances in the treatment of youth disease have been demonstrated an improvement in guess in ongoing years. Therefore, survivor pace of kids with malignancy is going to ascend in the past decade .Expanded occurrence of kids determined to have malignancy has prompted changes in the treatment and visualization of the infection just as in nursing care. In this audit article, it is meant to survey the new patterns and ongoing consideration approaches in pediatric oncology nursing. We could state that the writing, particularly in the course of recent years, for the most part centred around the subjects as family-focused consideration, innovation based consideration, program advancement, essential consideration of youngster, medicinal services supplier, survivors and home consideration, and non-pharmacological care. Every classification could collaborate with one another. The entirety of the themes in the classes add to perform proof based consideration .Human services benefits in the present social orders require proof based practices across disciplines. Principles, rules, and reports could be utilized in explicit care. Keywords: Oncology; Leukemia; Myelogenous Leukemia; Neuroblastoma; Wilms' Tumor; Radioisotope.

Background: Kangaroo mother Care (KMC) is a type of care for low birth weight (LBW) babies whereby the LBW baby is placed in an upright position against the mother’s chest, with early skin-to-skin contact between the mother and infant. Despite the apparent feasibility of KMC, currently, only a few low birth weight babies in low-income countries have access to this intervention. Therefore, present study aimed to assess the effectiveness of self instructional module (SIM) on knowledge regarding importance of KMC among staff nurses at Geetanjali & Pacific hospital, in Udaipur. Method: Quantitative Pre-experimental research design was selected to conduct study. Only 80 staff nurses were selected as samples based on exclusion and inclusion criteria through non-probability convenient sampling techniques. Results: The mean post-test knowledge score 25.71 (91.82%) was apparently higher than the mean pre-test knowledge score 12.3 (43.93%). The calculated “t” value of 19.47 was significantly higher than the table value 1.96 at 0.05 level of significance. This indicates that there was significant difference in pre test and post test knowledge score of respondents and SIM was effective in increasing the knowledge of the respondents regarding importance of KMC for LBW babies. There was a significant association between knowledge of staff nurses and demographic variables such as Age in years (χ2= 10.473), Work experience (χ2= 10.196). Conclusion: Self instructional module was effective in improving the level of knowledge of staff nurses regarding Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC).

Play is an integral aspect of a child's growth and development and is an important part of their daily lives. Toys are the “tools” of play that provide a child with a more “natural” atmosphere. Toys that are chosen and used properly will help to minimize the stressful impact of hospitalization and assist in the healing process of illness.1 Objectives: To Assess the Anxiety Level among Hospitalized Children. To Assess the Effectiveness of Instructional Play Therapy in Reducing Anxiety Level among Hospitalized Children. To associate the findings with selected demographic variables. Material and Methods: Research approach used for this study was an evaluative approach with one group pretest and posttest design, Population was Hospitalized Children in age group of 3 to 6 Years. Total 60 samples (Table1) were selected by using non-probability Convenient sampling technique. Result: The mean Anxiety Level in Pretest was 1.58 and in posttest was 2.67. The tabulated ‘t’ value was 2 (df=59) which is less than the calculated’ i.e. 13.00 at 5% level of significance.3 Also, the calculated ‘p’=0.0001 which was much less than the acceptable level of significance i.e. ‘p’=0.05. Hence it is interpreted that there is significant difference in Anxiety Level at pre and posttest among Hospitalized Children.(Table 2) There was no association found between Age, Gender, Birth Order, Number of days of hospitalization, Type of family. Conclusion: The Instructional Play Therapy in Reducing Anxiety Level among Hospitalized Children was effective. Keywords: Instructional Play Therapy; Anxiety; Hospitalized Children.

Background: The corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) emerged in Wuhan, China at the end of 2019. Since then, it has spread to 200 countries and has been declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). To date, there are more than 2.3 million positive COVID-19 cases recorded with at least 150,000 deaths globally. Aim: The overall aim of the study is to determine the knowledge of Covid -19 among nursing students in selected nursing colleges of Navi Mumbai and to assess the association between knowledge score and selected demographic variables among nursing students in selected nursing colleges of Navi Mumbai. Method: Descriptive survey approach with a typical descriptive design was adopted in the present study. Convenience sampling technique was used for the selection of the total 40 online samples. A self develop online knowledge questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge of Covid -19 among nursing students by using Google forms. Reliability of the knowledge questionnaire was checked by using split-half method and Spearman brown coefficient and the r = 0.9489. Prior permission from the concern authority of selected colleges was taken. The main study was conducted in Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed to be University College of Nursing. After data collection the self-instruction module on information on Covid -19 was distributed to nursing students via mails to improve their knowledge. Result: Result revels that 37.5% of the nursing students had moderate level of knowledge and 62.5% had adequate level of knowledge. With the help of self instructional module students will improve the knowledge. Samples consist of 15% males and 85% females.17.5% were in 17-18yrs, 47.5% were in 18-19yrs and 30% were in 19-20yrs, 5% were in above 20yrs. Regarding background knowledge of COVID 19, 75% of the samples has knowledge on COVID. 75% of samples got knowledge from news channel, 10% samples got knowledge from doctors and 10% samples got knowledge from other sources. Conclusion: The overall findings of the study revealed that majority nursing students had moderate and inadequate knowledge regarding COVID-19. Hence, it is concluded that further improvement of knowledge on COVID-19 is needed. Keywords: Knowledge; Assess; Covid-19; Self-Instruction Module.

Introduction: Historically newborn infants were believed to be decorticate beings without the capacity to feel or be affected by pain like adults. Infants were considered comparable to a semi – anesthetized adult. Many surgical procedures, including circumcision, have been routinely performed on infants younger than three months without anesthesia or analgesia. Our knowledge of pain in neonates has increased dramatically in the past two decades. Supported by an impressive body of neuroanatomical, neurochemical, and biobehavioral evidence, term and preterm infants possess the ability to perceive and respond to pain and remember pain experiences. Kangaroo Mother Care has been shown to prevent infections, promote breastfeeding, regulate the baby’s temperature, breathing, and brain activity, decreases pain and encourages mother and baby bonding. So the investigator performed an experimental study to assess the Effectiveness of Kangaroo Mother Care in reducing pain from intravenous procedures among preterm neonates in selected hospitals, Hyderabad. Methodology: Research design selected for the present study was experimental design.18 Premature Infant Pain Scale was used to collect data. The study was conducted at Niloufer children’s hospital Red hills, during a specified period of 14 days. Simple Random sampling technique was used for the selection of sample. Total sample for the study were 60.8 Results: The study results showed that majority of preterm neonates 26 (86.7%) from control group were having severe pain. Majority of preterm neonates in experimental group 28 (93.3%) were having moderate pain. The mean of control group is 15.87 whereas mean of experimental group is 8.67. The calculated t- value (16.187) is more than the table value (2.0017) at the level of 0.05 probability. Hence it can be stated that kangaroo mother care is effective in reducing the pain.11 Keywords: Preterm Neonates Effectiveness; Kangaroo Mother Care; Pain; Intravenous Procedures.3
