    • <p>Osteoporosis is a major public health concern affecting women worldwide, especially during middle age and after menopause. It is often referred to as a silent disease because bone loss occurs gradually without obvious symptoms until fractures occur. Many women lack awareness about preventive practices such as proper nutrition, physical activity, and lifestyle modifications. Educational programs play an important role in improving preventive health behaviors and reducing risk factors associated with osteoporosis. A one-group pre-test and post-test design was used in a quantitative study. Purposive sampling was used to choose 108 middle-aged women between the ages of 35 and 55 for the study. A systematic practice questionnaire was used to gather data. A comprehensive teaching program on osteoporosis prevention was given following the pre-test. Seven days later, the same questionnaire was used for a post-test. The average pre-test practice score was 41.25 2.48, and the post-test score was 43.06 2.12. The paired t-value that was computed was statistically significant at p &lt; 0.05, suggesting that habits improved after the educational program. Practice scores were shown to be significantly correlated with both socioeconomic position and education. The structured educational programme was effective in improving preventive practices among middle-aged women. Health education interventions can play an important role in reducing osteoporosis risk among women.</p>

    • <p>One of the main causes of vision impairment, especially in environments with limited resources, is corneal disorders.1 The lack of donor corneas limits the success of corneal transplantation, despite the fact that it can successfully restore vision. Many patients in India continue to put off receiving treatment due to the disparity between supply and demand. This scarcity is largely caused by a lack of knowledge and false beliefs about eye donation, particularly among non-medical people2 . Educational interventions have the potential to enhance comprehension and foster favourable attitudes regarding donations. In this study, 60 non-medical undergraduate students chosen by convenience sampling participated in a Single-group pre&ndash;post study. A standardized questionnaire was used to gather information both before and after a teaching program. The results demonstrated that participants' starting knowledge levels were low. Their comprehension of eye donation significantly improved after the intervention. The instructional program's efficacy was validated by statistical analysis. According to the study's findings, organized educational techniques can raise awareness and possibly encourage more people to donate their eyes.</p>

    • <p>The Non-Stress Test (NST) is an important antenatal assessment tool used to evaluate fetal well-being during pregnancy. Many pregnant women have limited understanding of the procedure, which may increase anxiety and reduce cooperation during antenatal care. This study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of a structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding NST among antenatal mothers. A quantitative pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design was adopted for the study. Sixty antenatal mothers from a selected hospital in Kanpur were recruited through convenience sampling. A structured questionnaire was used to assess knowledge before and after the educational intervention. The findings revealed that the mean post-test score was significantly higher than the mean pre-test score, indicating improved knowledge after the teaching programme. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores at the 0.05 level of significance. The study concluded that structured teaching programmes are effective in improving awareness and understanding of NST among antenatal mothers.</p>
