Adequate awareness of risk factors of CVD is the first step towards effective preventive strategies to combat the CVD burden in diabetes patients. This study aims to assess the awareness on risk factors of CVD among patients with diabetes mellitus attending diabetic clinic of BPKIHS and to find the association between awareness with their selected socio demographic variables.A descriptive cross sectional study was conducted among 112 patients with diabetes in diabetic clinic of BPKIHS. Convenient sampling technique was used for data collection over duration of one month using interview schedule by HDFQ II tool. Data were analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics.

The study aimed to assess the quality of life of patients having chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Methods: A cross-sectional hospital-based study was conducted in medical OPD of Chitwan Medical College. Purposive sampling technique was used to select 203 patients with chronic pulmonary obstructive disease for at least 3 months. Data were collected from July 16, 2021 to January 14, 2022 using a WHO Quality of Life Scale-Brief through face-to-face interview. Transformation of the scores was done to standardize the raw scores by using the formula applied for linear transformation is as follows: [(Actual raw score - Lowest possible raw score)/Possible raw score range]*100. Results: The mean score and standard deviation of total QOL was 40.64 ± 18.41, where 52.23 ± 13.68 for physical, 47.84 ± 9.70 for psychological, 66.6...

So, incident should be reported properly and immediately in effective way which would lead appropriate management and prevention of incident. This study aimed to assess the knowledge and barriers of incident reports among nurses. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used among nurses working in teaching hospitals. A simple random sampling technique was used to select 208 nurses and data was collected by using self-administered questionnaire from June 18, 2019 to July 18, 2019. Data was analyzed in SPSS version 20 using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. Results: This study revealed that 73.1% of respondents had poor knowledge on incident report. Whereas common barrier identified by respondents were work complexity (40.4%), fear of blamed (59.1%), lack of protocol (50.0%) and inadequate reporting system (42.3%). Nurses level of knowledge was s...
