The purpose of this study was to define the selfAAC/Aa!AAconcept of children with cancer in comparison with healthy children and children with thalassaemia.Material-Method: 165 children with cancer were studied and compared to 417 healthy children and 212 children with thalassaemia of corresponding age. The control group with thalassaemia and the children in the study were children who had been admitted to two of Athens' largest paediatric hospitals - Pan. Agl. Kyriakou" and "Agia." Sophia'. Healthy controls were obtained from Athens schools. Interviews were conducted between the researcher with children from each group. The tool used for all children was the PiersAAC/AaAA Harris scale 'How I feel about me'. Data analysis revealed that children with cancer have a less positive image of themselves than the controls. Further analysis revealed that they have behavioural problems (p

The COVID-19 (SARSCoV-2) pandemic is a serious health problem that has affected many countries. There have been over 82,994,220 confirmed cases and 1,810,000.360 deaths. These widespread outbreaks can have adverse effects on mental health. It is therefore important to know the impact and extent of these problems. We conducted a Systematic Mapping Study to collect, catalogue, and classify research activities that examine the psychological effects of COVID-19. This included anxiety, depression, stress, and other common psychological reactions to the COVID-19 epidemic. As part of the literature review, we explored two key areas: a) observational research, which reports on mental health symptoms in specific populations; and b) review articles and commentaries, which address the psychological impact COVID-19 has on the general population and healthcare workers as well as high-risk populations. A more systematic approach to research is needed that considers confounders and associated factors, such as sociocultural and health outcomes, demographics, and sociocultural.

Hypertension and Psychological Health in the 21st Century

Hypertension can also be known as high blood pressure. High systolic blood pressure is a sign that the patient's arteries have been subject to stress. High diastolic blood pressure is a sign that there are stressors causing cortisol levels to rise, leading to faster heart rates. The treatment plan of a doctor for HBP patients includes medication, diet, and exercise. Patients with HBP due to life stress should receive psychiatric treatment. A holistic lifestyle and healthy lifestyle is essential for patients with HBP. The patient's BP can be affected by the mind, body, and soul.

Management of COVID-19 by China - Lessons Learned

The ongoing epidemic of Covid-19, a respiratory disease that is threatening global health, is the latest threat. The Covid-19 epidemic poses critical threats to public health, research, medical, and other communities. This outbreak serves as a stark reminder about the challenges of new and reemerging infectious disease pathogens. It also highlights the need to be vigilant, prompt diagnosed, and do robust research to understand basic biology and susceptibilities of new organisms, as well as develop effective countermeasures. More than 10.5million people have been infected by the virus. This virus has already affected the daily lives of millions of people all over the world, with travel restrictions, schools and colleges being closed and countries placing lockdowns. This article reviews the many measures China has taken to combat COVID-19.

Exploring sensitive nursing issues through focus group approaches

Background: Nursing care rationing is an important organisational variable. It includes omissions and seems to be linked to patient safety as well as quality. Nursing care rationing can be a sensitive topic that causes strong emotions. Nurses aren't always willing to share unfinished or omitted nursing tasks. In addition to the adverse consequences for patients, nurses may feel moral distress if they have to ration their care. This paper aimed to examine some of the methodological problems that focus group interviews can present when investigating sensitive nursing issues, in this instance, rationing nursing care. Material and Method: This paper discusses the methodological issues in the context of a study that examined nursing care rationing views among registered nurses who work in medical and surgical units. Between June and September 2011, three focus groups were convened to determine which areas of nursing care are being rationed, and what the causes of this rationing are. There were 17 registered nurses in the group. The discussion began with a scenario that described a typical day on a busy hospital ward. It was designed to utilize group dynamics and participant interaction to facilitate a deep discussion among the participants. Results: The focus group provided security and encouraged exploration of alternative positions. It also facilitated discussion about sensitive issues such as the admission of nursing care tasks that were being rationed. Participation in the group has allowed nurses to hear from others who have had similar experiences, and it has created an atmosphere that encourages honesty and openness. Conclusions: Focus-group interviews are a valuable data collection strategy for sensitive issues in nursing.

Factors affect in patient adherence to medication regimen

Long-term medication administration and follow up is required for chronic diseases. Poor medication compliance can lead to frequent hospitalizations, poor outcomes and higher health care costs.

From 2007, when Health Science journal was founded, to 2012 is documented in an article published in volume 6. (late 2012). J. was able to achieve a number of significant new accomplishments.

This study was designed to assess the factors that influence urinary albumin excretion in patients with non-diabetic high blood pressure (AH) within the context of Primary Health Care. Per capita salt intake, lipid and hemostatic profile, waist circumference, and glomerular filter rate (GFR), were all evaluated in patients with and without microalbuminuria. To estimate the impact of variables on UAE, BackWard multiple linear regression analysis (MLR) was used. Microalbuminuria was found in 21.9% of the population. The mean GFR calculated using the CKP–EPI formula was 65.04 mL/min/1.73m2, for both the groups with MA and without MA. The reason for the 63.5% variation in excreted levels was due to the variations in waist circumference and serum creatinine. Patients with AH and MA had lower GFRs, which could indicate progression to renal disease. Patients with AH and MA should be regularly screened for MA, especially those who have a history of renal disease.

Radiologic Technology (RT) is the term used by Radiological Technologists (RT). They are responsible for the modification of radiography and Computed Tomography scan examinations in response to the pandemic of coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19). This article aims at educating the RT. It describes the personal protective equipment (PPE), decontamination methods, and patient management in radiology units. RT are subject to high and medium risk zones, and can spread disease in hospitals. To ensure personal and collective safety, it is essential to strictly observe security measures and modify working areas to meet current conditions. The key points aA/AEURC/RT could be considered units of in-hospital spreading. AA,AEURC/ Equipment protection is essential. Staff management is also important. PPE and aA must be strictly observed

Both developed and developing nations are affected by homelessness, which is a serious social and public health issue. The conditions that prevent someone from having access to a normal residence or dwelling are called homelessness. The number of homeless is increasing rapidly according to available estimates. It is estimated that over 100 million people worldwide are homeless and live in shelters or parks1. The number of people experiencing homelessness is on the rise and has dire consequences for their health and health care systems.
