  • Empowering teachers: Enhancing mental health promotion and early detection of mental illness in school children through educational initiatives
    Husain Nadaf, Jasneet Kaur, Abhay Pattan, Suresh Ray, Mangesh Jabade
    Middle School Journal, 2026
    :Abstract: Promoting mental health in school children is crucial, given the pivotal role schools play in young individuals’ lives. Integrating social and emotional well-being into teaching and learning can profoundly impact students’ mental health. This study aimed to evaluate an educational initiative’s impact on mental health promotion and early detection of mental illness among school children, focusing on teachers as key agents of change. The study employed a pre-intervention and post-intervention design, surveying 100 school teachers of grades 5 and 6 over one month. The effectiveness of the intervention was assessed through a self-structured questionnaire administered before and after the program. Results demonstrated a significant increase in mental health literacy, with the proportion of teachers classified as having “good” knowledge increasing from 25% to 78%. Statistical analysis using paired t-tests confirmed the significance of the knowledge gains. The study highlights the need for integrating mental health education into the standard teacher training curriculum, underlining its importance in fostering an educational atmosphere that supports both academic and mental health outcomes. Given the positive results in a localized setting, the intervention model shows potential for scalability and adaptation across different educational contexts, both nationally and internationally.

  • Effect of live demonstration on practices of anm regarding identification and management of mothers for puerperal infection during postnatal period
    J. Kaur, S. Ray
    Journal of Datta Meghe Institute of Medical Sciences University, 2020
    Introduction: Puerperal sepsis is an infective condition in the mother following childbirth. It is the third most common cause of maternal death worldwide as a result of childbirth after hemorrhage and abortion. According to the World Health Organization estimates, puerperal sepsis accounts for 15% of the 500,000 maternal deaths annually. In low- and middle-income countries, puerperal infections are the sixth leading cause of disease burden in women during their reproductive years. Puerperal sepsis can cause long-term health problems such as chronic pelvic inflammatory disease and infertility in females. Objective: The main objective of the study was to determine the effect of demonstration on practices of Auxillary Nurse Midwives (ANMs) regarding identification and management of mothers for puerperal infection during postnatal period. Materials and Methods: A quasi-experimental design was adopted to implement live demonstration on 60 ANMs. The samples were selected by convenience sampling technique. A checklist was used to assess the practices of ANM identification and management of high-risk mothers for secondary postpartum hemorrhage during postnatal period. Results: The average pretest knowledge mean in the experimental group was 68.7, which increased to 134.1 in posttest. T-value for this test was 80 with 103 degrees of freedom. Corresponding P value was small (<0.05); null hypothesis is rejected. It is evident that the live demonstration is significantly effective in improving the knowledge of ANMs regarding identification and management of mothers for puerperal infection during postnatal period.
