This study aims to explicitly examine the relationship between leadership styles and nurse organizational commitment, providing specific correlations and regression results to enhance readers’ understanding of the findings. Nurses’ well-being is significantly influenced by the leadership styles they observe, and effective healthcare leadership is crucial for improving healthcare systems’ efficacy. The study population consists of private hospital nurses from Vellore City, Tamil Nadu, India. Questionnaires were disseminated using Google Forms, resulting in 308 responses, of which 283 ( N = 283) were deemed usable. Nurses self-rated their perceptions of their various managers’ leadership styles using the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire 5x-short, along with the Three-Component Model (TCM) Employee Commitment Survey and a demographic questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression were examined using SPSS 26.0. The study’s regression analysis found significant links between leadership styles and various types of commitment among nurses. Specifically, the results show that transformational (TRF) and laissez-faire (LF) leadership styles positively impacted affective commitment. TRF had a stronger influence (TRF: β = .938, p

In this work, the existence of Hilfer fractional integro-differential equations with nonlocal conditions are discussed. To obtain such result, we use Mo¨nch fixed point theorem and the techniques of noncompactness. An application is presented to validate the theoretical results.

Introduction: Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is a common cause of vaginal discharge in women of reproductive age-group. It affects 75% of women at least once during their lifetime and 10% of them have recurrent episodes. Most common offending organism is Candida albicans, and Candida glabrata being the most common non albicans species. Based on clinical presentation, microbiology, host factor like immunosuppression and recurrence, VVC is classified into complicated and uncomplicated VVC. The treatment of VVC is reasonably effective with a range of oral and intravaginal agents with Azoles being the predominant antifungals used. Aim And Objective: To compare the safety and efficacy of oral tablet fluconazole 150 mg single dose with intravaginal sertaconazole 500mg in the treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: After obtaining informed consent, 100 patients who were clinically and mycologically confirmed to have vulvovaginal candidiasis were included in the study. They were randomly assigned into 2 groups, containing 50 patients each. Group A was treated with single dose of oral tablet fluconazole 150mg and group B was treated with sertaconazole 500mg vaginal pessary. The patients were reviewed at day 7 and 14 after the treatment. At each visit, symptomatic and mycological improvements were assessed and recorded. Results: A total of 97 patients completed the study. The symptomatic cure rate in both the groups at day 7 was 64.58% and 81.63% and in day 14 was 95.8% and 91.8% respectively in each group. The mycological cure rate in both groups at day 7 was 54.1%and 65.3% and day 14 was 75.1% and 85.7% respectively. Conclusion: Treatment of VVC with single dose Sertaconazole 500mg vaginal pessary results in rapid symptom clearance and lesser recurrence rate than oral Fluconazole 150mg tablet in the treatment of uncomplicated VVC, in women with personal preference of vaginal route of drug administration without significant drug interactions and adverse effects. This can also be beneficial in the era of emerging fluconazole resistance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Representative data on knowledge and awareness about diabetes is scarce in India and is extremely important to plan public health policies aimed at preventing and controlling diabetes. Aim: The aim of the following study is to assess awareness and knowledge about diabetes in the general population, as well as in individuals with diabetes in four selected regions of India. Materials and Methods: The study subjects were drawn from a representative sample of four geographical regions of India, Chandigarh, Tamil Nadu, Jharkhand and Maharashtra representing North, South, East and West and covering a population of 213 million. A total of 16,607 individuals (5112 urban and 11,495 rural) aged ≥20 years were selected from 188 urban and 175 rural areas. Awareness of diabetes and knowledge of causative factors and complications of diabetes were assessed using an interviewer administered structured questionnaire in 14,274 individuals (response rate, 86.0%), which included 480 self-reported diabetic subjects. Results: Only 43.2% (6160/14,274) of the overall study population had heard about a condition called diabetes. Overall urban residents had higher awareness rates (58.4%) compared to rural residents (36.8%) (P < 0.001). About 46.7% of males and 39.6% of females reported that they knew about a condition called diabetes (P < 0.001). Of the general population, 41.5% (5726/13,794) knew about a condition called diabetes. Among them, 80.7% (4620/5726) knew that the prevalence of diabetes was increasing, whereas among diabetic subjects, it was 93.0% (448/480). Among the general and diabetic population, 56.3% and 63.4% respectively, were aware that diabetes could be prevented. Regarding complications, 51.5% of the general population and 72.7% diabetic population knew that diabetes could affect other organs. Based on a composite knowledge score to assess knowledge among the general population, Tamil Nadu had the highest (31.7) and Jharkhand the lowest score (16.3). However among self-reported diabetic subjects, Maharashtra had the highest (70.1) and Tamil Nadu, the lowest score (56.5). Conclusion: Knowledge and awareness about diabetes in India, particularly in rural areas, is poor. This underscores the need for conducting large scale diabetes awareness and education programs.
