  • Effect of Nurse-led Intervention on Shoulder Dysfunction among Breast Cancer Patients Undergoing Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM), South India: A Randomized Controlled Trial
    Arul Nisha S, Kumari MJ, Biswajit Dubashi, Elamurugan TP, Lakshmi Ramamoorthy
    Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention, 2026
    BACKGROUND: Breast cancer can strike women at any age after puberty, though its incidence increases with age. The WHO's Global Breast Cancer Initiative (GBCI), between 2020 and 2040, aims to prevent 2.5 million breast cancer deaths globally. This study aimed to assess the effect of a nurse-led intervention on shoulder dysfunction among breast cancer patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy (MRM) - a randomized controlled trial. METHODS: A total of 320 breast cancer patients undergoing MRM (Study group-160, Control group-160) who met the inclusion criteria were included in the study. Block randomization was used to allot participants to both groups through a computer-generated random sequence. The experimental group received a nurse-led intervention in addition to routine care, while the control group received routine care only. Shoulder range of motion (ROM) was measured using a goniometer at baseline and at every 3-month interval up to 1 year. Disability of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) was assessed at 6th and 12th month follow-ups using the DASH questionnaire. RESULTS: Overtime comparison of shoulder ROM shows the significant effect of time, group, and a significant time × group interaction (p < 0.001), indicating that the flexion, extension, abduction, internal rotation, and external rotation angles improved significantly over time, and that the pattern of improvement differed between the intervention and control groups. During the 3rd and 6th month follow-up, Grade II loss of shoulder ROM was observed in one patient (0.68%) in the experimental group, whereas in the control group, it was observed in 25 patients (16.89%) and 18 patients (12.41%), respectively. DASH scores during the 6th and 12th month follow-up were 6 (3.06-10.25) and 5.17 (1.72-8.62) in the experimental group, whereas in the control group, they were 21.5 (14.25-34.25) and 24.14 (15.52-35.34) (p <0.001). CONCLUSION: In this study, early intervention and consistent motivation and reinforcement helped in preventing or reducing shoulder dysfunction, thereby reducing disability and enhancing quality of life (QOL).

    Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention, 2025
    BACKGROUND: Sexual health is a vital component of quality of life among cancer survivors but is often under-assessed in routine care, particularly in non-English-speaking populations. The EORTC QLQ-SH22 is a validated tool developed to assess sexual health-related quality of life in cancer patients. To improve its accessibility in South India, this study aimed to translate and pilot validate the SH22 into Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam. METHODS: Following EORTC translation guidelines, the SH22 was translated into the three target languages through a multistep process including forward translation, reconciliation, backward translation, and external proofreading. Pilot testing was conducted with 43 patients (15 Tamil, 15 Telugu, 13 Malayalam) with pelvic malignancies. Patient comprehension and feedback were evaluated, and internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach's alpha. RESULTS: Minor modifications were made to the Tamil and Telugu versions based on participant feedback, while the Malayalam version required no changes. The translated questionnaires were well accepted, and the average completion time was 15 minutes. Cronbach's alpha values were 0.82 (Tamil), 0.81 (Telugu), and 0.64 (Malayalam), indicating good to acceptable internal consistency. CONCLUSION: The Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam versions of the EORTC QLQ-SH22 are culturally appropriate and reliable tools for assessing sexual health-related quality of life in cancer patients. These translations can support routine clinical use and research in South Indian populations.

    S Arul Nisha, Manjini Jayaram Kumari, Biswajith Dubashi, TP Elamurugan, Lakshmi Ramamoorthy
    Journal of Education and Health Promotion, 2025
    Background: The quality of life (QOL) of Breast cancer is severely affected by the cancer diagnosis and side effects of the therapies. Subclinical lymphedema is also present in breast cancer patients before axillary lymph node dissection. The study objective is to assess the QOL and Breast cancer-related Lymphedema (BCRL) among pre-surgical patients with Breast cancer. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional analytical design was used in the surgery ward of the Tertiary Care Hospital. Convenient sampling techniques were used to collect data from 320 patients admitted for Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM). A structured questionnaire includes a socio-demographic, clinical profile, and standardized QOL–Breast cancer version (QOL-BC) used to assess the QOL. BCRL was measured by a non-elastic measuring tape. The categorical variables were expressed in frequency and proportion, and continuous variables in mean with standard deviation. All the statistical analysis was 5% level, with a P value of 0.05 was statistically significant. Results: Among 320 participants, the median age was 52 years, and the majority of them, 111 (34.7%), belonged to the 41 – 50 years. Median BMI was 25.1 kg/m2 (22.6 – 28.07 kg/m2). The mean score of overall QOL was 232.32 ± 29.666. Under the subdomain, the median score of physical well-being was 64.5, psychological well-being was 82, social well-being was 43, and spiritual well-being was 46.50. Two participants (0.62%) with stage III breast cancer had mild edema before surgery. Conclusions: The distress caused by the disease itself and treatment-related factors is the areas that bring down the QOL in these participants.
  • Effect of performing daily fetal movement count on maternal-fetal attachment level among low risk primigravida - A randomised controlled trial
    Shalini Bhandari, Manjini Jayaram Kumari, S Vahitha, R Sujithradevi
    Journal of Education and Health Promotion, 2025
    Background: Maternal-fetal attachment is the bond that grows over time during the pregnancy via several antenatal practices for a healthy fetus. One such practice is daily fetal movement count which may play a vital part in promoting maternal fetal attachment. This study aims to determine the effect of daily fetal movement count on maternal-fetal attachment levels among low-risk primigravida women and find the association between obstetrical variables and post-maternal antenatal attachment scores. Materials and Methods: A randomization trial was conducted among low-risk primigravids (40 in experimental and 40 in control groups) in the antenatal outpatient department. The low-risk primigravids who were in 28–32 weeks of gestation were asked to count and mark the number of fetal movements perceived by them in a daily fetal movement count chart for consecutive two weeks in the intervention group whereas only routine antenatal care was been provided to the control group. Result: The study findings show that in intervention group primigravids, about 20 (50%) had very positive feelings about the baby inside them, 30 (75%) consider their developing baby as a little person with special characteristics, 24 (60%) the baby is dependent on them for their well-being, 16 (40%) of the primigravids in the intervention group after performing daily fetal movement count scored high during post assessment revealing that they have a very clear picture of their baby. The differences in pre-assessment and post-assessment scores were found highly statistically significant (P=&lt;0.001). Conclusion: The study concluded that primigravida who were performing fetal movement count had increased maternal-antenatal attachment levels than primigravida who did not perform fetal movement count.
  • A study to assess the psychosocial needs of patient family members in the intensive care unit in India
    Lalthlanawmi Renthlei, RS Ramesh, T Mahalakshmy, MJ Kumari
    Acute and Critical Care, 2024
    Background: Admission to an intensive care unit (ICU) is considered a mental crisis for patients and their families as they are unprepared for such a stressful and difficult situation. Hence, the objectives of this study are to assess the psychosocial needs of patient family members in the ICU in various dimensions such as assurance, proximity, information, support, and comfort; and to associate their psychosocial needs with their socio-demographic variables and clinical variables of the patient.Methods: This was a cross-sectional analytical study conducted between December 2021 and January 2022 among 188 family members of patients admitted to the ICU using a convenience sampling technique in a tertiary hospital in Puducherry, India. The modified Critical Care Family Needs Inventory (CCFNI) questionnaire was administered to all consenting family members to determine their needs. Results: The overall most important need among the five dimensions of modified CCFNI scores identified by the family members is the need for assurance (2.71±0.38). Using analysis of variance, statistical significances were found as follows. Education and comfort (F-statistic and P-value): 2.76 (0.029); relationship with the patient and assurance: 2.61 (0.036); relationship with the patient and support: 2.44 (0.048); level of consciousness and comfort: 4.63 (0.010); ICU visit restriction and assurance: 3.28 (0.022); ICU visit restriction and comfort: 8.08 (&lt;0.001).Conclusion: Since family members are essential members of the treatment teams, nurses should concentrate on reassuring them, assisting them in emerging from crises through appropriate communication, offering support, and attending to their needs.

    Tamil Selvi C, Kumari M J, Vahitha S, Kubera N S
    BMJ Nutrition Prevention and Health, 2024
    BackgroundThe postpartum period is a vital phase for a mother as she undergoes a role transition in her life, in addition to physiological changes. Among all discomforts experienced during this period, constipation is more common and it can cause lifelong complications such as haemorrhoids, rectal prolapse and anal fissures if left untreated. Adequate care, education and compliance with proper postpartum diet and exercise can prevent it.Aim and objectiveThis study intended to assess the effect of video-assisted teaching in preventing constipation among postpartum women in comparison with routine care.Settings and designAntenatal outpatient department and postnatal ward. Experimental research design—randomised controlled trial.Methods and materialTotally, 160 antenatal women in the III trimester were selected by convenience sampling and randomised into study and control groups. Data were collected using a semistructured questionnaire. Postpartum women in the study group received video-assisted teaching regarding the postnatal diet and exercise for the prevention of constipation developed by the researcher with reference from books, journals, Indian council of medical research Recommended dietary allowances table and expert opinion. Postpartum women in the control group received routine care as a pamphlet regarding the care of women after delivery which was routinely given to all mothers along with the discharge slip. Constipation Assessment Scale was used to assess the presence of constipation at the end of second week of post partum.Statistical analysis usedDescriptive and inferential statistics were used.ResultsData showed 27% of postpartum women in control group had constipation comparing to only 6.1% of the women in the study group (p&lt;0.05). There was a significant association between consumption of fruits, green leafy vegetables, increased fluid intake, regular walking and the status of constipation (p&lt;0.001).ConclusionsVideo-assisted teaching was effective in preventing constipation among postpartum women.

    Prabu Ganesan, Kumari Jayaram Manjini, Sai Chandran Bathala Vedagiri
    Journal of Caring Sciences, 2022
    Introduction: Music is a non-invasive, inexpensive and non-pharmacological nursing intervention that has no side effects and can be effective when provided alongside the routine care in cardiothoracic and vascular surgery (CTVS) ward and intensive care unit (ICU). The objective of the study was to assess the effect of music on pain, anxiety and physiological parameters among the post-operative sternotomy patients from CTVS ward and ICU in Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER), Puducherry, India. Methods: A randomized controlled trial research design was used to conduct the study among 70 post-operative sternotomy patients. The pain score, and anxiety level were recorded using Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) and post-operative anxiety scale, with the physiological parameters recorded for both groups before the music intervention, after the first post-operative day, and after the intervention on seventh post-operative day. Data were analyzed by SPSS software version 23. Results: There was a marked reduction in the mean score of pain, anxiety, systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP &amp; DBP), heart rate and respiratory rate in the study group as compared to the control group. There was a significant difference between the mean score of pain, anxiety, SBP, DBP, heart rate, respiratory rate and oxygen saturation in both groups after the intervention. Conclusion: Music was found to be effective on pain, anxiety, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen saturation among post-operative sternotomy patients. Thus, it is essential to include music as a tool in post-operative care.
  • Under or overpressure: An audit of endotracheal cuff pressure monitoring at the tertiary care center
    Biju Viswambharan, Manjini Jeyaram Kumari, Gopala Krishnan, Lakshmi Ramamoorthy
    Acute and Critical Care, 2021
    Background: Mechanical ventilation is a lifesaving intervention for critically ill patients but can produce the major complication of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Inappropriately inflated endotracheal tubes cause potential harm due to high or low pressure; this can be prevented through monitoring protocols.Methods: A cross-sectional study of 348 cuff pressure readings was performed with intubated and mechanically ventilated patients to evaluate the exact proportion of patients in intensive care units (ICUs) where the cuff pressure is optimal and to identify the ICUs where device-based monitoring is available to produce a lower proportion of sub-optimal cuff pressure cases. Every three days, cuff pressure was assessed with a handheld cuff pressure manometer. The corresponding VAP rates of those ICUs were obtained from the hospital infection control department.Results: Cuff pressure of 40.2% was the lower cutoff for the high category, that of optimal was 35.3%, and the highest cutoff of sub-optimal was 24.4%. This study also showed ICUs that had cuff pressure monitoring devices and protocols. Active measurement protocols had a higher proportion of optimal cuff pressure (58.5%) and a lower proportion of sub-optimal and high cuff pressure (19.5% and 22.0%) compared to ICUs with no device-based monitoring protocols. Furthermore, the VAP rate of ICUs exhibited a weak positive correlation with sub-optimal cuff pressure.Conclusions: Device-based cuff pressure monitoring is essential in maintaining adequate cuff pressure but often is inadequate, resulting in high readings. Therefore, this study suggests that device-based cuff pressure monitoring be practiced.

    M. Akila, R. S. Ramesh, M. J. Kumari
    Journal of Education and Health Promotion, 2021
    INTRODUCTION: Foot problems are most common among patients with diabetes, and they are an important cause of morbidity in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). They can be prevented by following a simple foot care practice. The study objective was to stratify the level of risk for diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) among patients with diabetes by screening. MATERIALS And METHODS: A descriptive cross-sectional study design was adopted in this study. The sample size was 196, and a standardized INLOW'S 60-s diabetic foot screening tool was used to assess the risk of diabetic foot. Data collection was done by face-to-face interview, and diabetic foot risk (DFR) was assessed by direct observation, inspection, and palpation methods. RESULTS: Among the 196 patients, majority required yearly foot screen in both feet. The mean and standard deviation of the level of DFR in the left foot (LF) and right foot (RF) was 4.31 ± 2.267 and 4.51 ± 2.391, respectively. There was a statistically significant association between the practice of treatment and level of foot screening recommendation in the LF with Chi-square value of χ2= 8.20 (df = 2) and RF with Chi-square value of χ2= 7.95 (df = 2) at P &lt; 0.05 level. CONCLUSION: Health-care providers should be made aware of the regular practice of screening the foot of diabetic patients along with health education awareness programs. It may be helpful to identify the foot ulcer risk at an early stage. It will prevent further complications of DFU and recurrence of ulcer and will reduce the economic burden to patients and their family members and the health-care system.

    Journal of Caring Sciences, 2020
    Introduction: Glycaemic status of the patient is often monitored using capillary blood glucose test which is fairly accurate. Traditional finger stick sampling is done to obtain sample, which can be painful and may be a barrier for repeated testing. The current study was conducted to compare fingertip and palm site sampling on pain perception, and variation in capillary blood glucose level. Methods: This study was conducted among 284 diabetic patients, who were selected by convenience sampling method. The data was collected by measuring capillary blood glucose levels from fingertip and palm site of the left hand at an interval of 10 minutes using a standard glucometer. The level of pain perceptions was measured with a numerical rating pain scale. Data analysis was accomplished using descriptive analysis, Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal- Wallis test. Results: The level of pain perception at the palm site (2) was lesser than fingertip (3) which was significant at P < 0.001. 223 (78.52%) of the participants experienced more pain at fingertip than palm site, the difference in the measured capillary blood glucose level between fingertip [mean (SD): 226.65 (87.86)] and palm site [mean (SD): 225.65(92.13)] was minimum. The agreement of palm site was 90.7% in single measurement and 95.1% in average measurement. Conclusion: The present study concludes that, majority of the participants experienced less pain perception at the palm site sampling (alternate site sampling) than fingertip sampling with very minimal variation in the blood glucose level.
