Abstract The aim of the study was to determine the effectiveness of planned teaching program on knowledge regarding prevention of swine flu among staff nurses working at IGMC and Hospital, Shimla (H.P.). Quantitative research approach and one group pre and post-test research design was adopted for the study. Fifty staff nurses were selected by using convenient sampling technique. Demographic data was collected by using proforma and knowledge of staff nurses was collected by using structured knowledge questionnaire. The descriptive and inferential statistical methods were used for analysis. The study findings revealed that during the pre-test, 4% of staff nurses had average level of knowledge, 78% of staff nurses had good level of knowledge, 18% of staff nurses had very good level of knowledge, whereas in post-test knowledge none of the staff nurses had average level of knowledge, 24% of staff nurses had good level of knowledge, 76% of staff nurses had very good level of knowledge after giving planned teaching program. The findings of the study reveal that planned teaching program is effective in enhancing the knowledge of staff nurses regarding prevention of swine flu. The study also revealed that the difference obtained in the mean pre-and post-test knowledge was the true difference not by chance. Hence, it can be concluded that planned teaching program is effective and this study is significant and can be recommended to other researches on the basis of this study.

INTRODUCTION India is the second most populous country in the world next to china. With a population of 1,282,390,303 by year 2015, India is supporting about 17.5% of the world population.[1] Swine flu has been declared as global pandemic in June 2009

by World Health Organization (WHO).

H1N1 was first reported in Mexico on March 18th, 2009 and then spread to neighboring United States and Canada. As on June 21st, 2009, WHO has reported 44,287 laboratory-confirmed cases of influenza.[2]The first case of swine flu in India was found on airport, Hyderabad on May 13, 2009, when a man travelling from

U.S. to India was found H1N1 positive. As of May 24, 2010 10,193 cases of swine flu have been confirmed with 1035 deaths.[3] The swine flu, medically known as swine influenza, is a general term for a variety of strains of influenza virus commonly found in pigs. Sometimes, some people who have frequent, close contact with pigs, such as farmers or veterinarians, may catch a strain of the swine flu from pigs. The swine flu can spread from person to person when

Editorial Insight: Are the Indian Nursing Staff Stationed at Health Centers Updated About Newer Vaccines in the Universal Immunization Programme?

Kedar Mehta*, Paragkumar Chavda Department of Community Medicine, GMERS Medical College, Gotri, Vadodara, Gujarat, India

Universal Immunization Programme (UIP) is a Government funded vaccination program running in India since 1985.[1] There have been many changes brought in this programme since it was first launched in 1985. Many newer vaccines have been introduced in this programme recently. So, there is a need of updating the knowledge about these newer vaccines, their need, their dose, site, schedule and route of administration among health care professionals including nursing staff.

Four major changes have been made in the UIP since 2012.[2] First, zero dose of hepatitis B has been introduced which is given to the child after birth along with zero dose of oral polio and BCG vaccines.

Second change is the introduction of pentavalent vaccine which is to be given at 6, 10 and 14 weeks replacing the DPT vaccine. Third change is that 2nd dose of measles vaccine have been introduced which is to be given at 1.5–2 years of age along with DPT booster. Fourth, recently the trivalent OPV has been replaced by bivalent OPV in the entire nation from April 25th, 2016.

In India, the large part of the population gets the vaccination for their children at the outreach sessions for immunization which are held in close proximity to the community. These are organized by the female health workers. The female health workers are the paramedical staff championing this herculean task of vaccination of children in the field.

IJIN (2016) 7-8 Š JournalsPub 2016. All Rights Reserved

There is another cadre of paramedical staff in the category of staff nurses who are stationed at the health centers and hospitals at primary, secondary and tertiary level. With increasing access of health services to the people more than 73% of deliveries in India are conducted in the institutions as per a latest coverage evaluation survey.[3] The staff nurses available round the clock at these hospitals, Community Health Centres and 24Ă—7 Primary Health Centres are the first contact with the newborns, children and the mothers. So, they are a potential source of information and service provision with regard to vaccination for all those clients attending these centers.

Now the existing national program has provision for refresher training of the field staff, i.e., female health workers on updates in immunization. Yet, there is no systematic program for including the staff nurses stationed at the health centers and hospitals in such refresher training programs. This could lead to missed opportunities in vaccination for all those eligible children who come in contact with them. We suggest that there should be Continued Medical Education (CME) or small refresher training on immunization at regular interval so that all the newer changes in the vaccination schedule can be discussed at length with these health care professionals as well. Such a step although looks small will help us make the program more inclusive. On long run, there is also a

Developing nations suffer from larger rates of water related infections, the most common being the diarrheal diseases. In India, water contamination is getting to be one significant issue.[2, 7, 8] The coliform bacteria are continually present in incredible amounts in the human digestive tract. It is assessed that a normal individual discharges 200–400 billion of these bacteria every day. As these bacteria are not commonly found in portable water, hence it is believed to be transported through fecal contamination.

In 2002 IMCI stated that worldwide more than 10 million children below the age of five years die; out of which half of the deaths occur due to diarrheal [10, 11] complications.

Water borne maladies are transmitted by dirty and contaminated water, food and flies. The rain water after getting in touch with ground gets contaminated with microscopic organisms, dust, chemicals depending upon what is available in the climate through which it passes. Numerous
