Objectives Historical evidence suggests that social hierarchy pervaded all aspects of society in post‐Medieval England. This study uses stable isotope analysis to explore the extent to which socioeconomic status and sex affected the dietary habits of the inhabitants of post‐Medieval Chichester. Materials and Methods Stable carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios were measured on 40 human burials from the post‐Medieval site of St. Michael's Litten (Chichester, West Sussex, England). Samples were selected from three burial types that denoted differing socioeconomic status with roughly equal numbers of males and females: tomb burials (n = 13) for high‐status; single coffin burials (n = 14) for middle‐status; and shroud burials (n = 13) for low‐status individuals. Results The data showed a largely terrestrial diet with the possibility of some inclusion of marine resources. The isotope results indicate significant variation in the consumption of terrestrial meat (and marine protein) between high‐status tomb burials and coffin and shroud burials, showing that socioeconomic status likely played a role in daily dietary patterns. However, the isotope data suggest sex did not influence an individual's diet. Discussion These results mirror trends established in status‐based studies from elsewhere in post‐Medieval England. However, notably absent from the data is evidence for significant marine resource consumption, which is a well‐established dietary trend of the late Medieval and early post‐Medieval periods. These results indicate post‐Medieval Chichester was a socially stratified society with clear implications that the diet of higher status individuals differed significantly from lower status.

Healthcare associated infections (HCAI) or nosocomial infections constituting a major health problem worldwide; among them the major one is Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI) and it occurs after the admission of the patient in hospital due to the reason of other than that infection .Thus the present Study was planned to assess the attitude of staff nurses towards catheter care to prevent CAUTI among Patients Admitted in Tertiary Care Hospital, Bathinda (Punjab) Objectives 1.To assess the attitude of nurses towards catheter care for prevention of CAUTI among patients 2.To nd out the association between attitude of nurses towards catheter care for prevention of CAUTI among patients with their socio demographic variables. Descriptive survey design was used. A Quantitative Non experimental Approach was adopted to conduct the Study. 200 staff nurses were selected using Non Probability convenience Sampling Technique .The present study included staff nurses working in intensive care units, cardiac care unit, surgery, medical , orthopaedic and gynaecological and obstetrical wards. A prevalidated tool comprising Socio demographic variables and Self structured attitude scale were used to collect the data. Results: depicts that out of 200 staff nurses that most of staff nurses i.e. 120 (60%) were in the age group of 21-30 years. Most of them i.e.132 (66%) were females. About 40(20%) of staff nurses were presently working in CCU .Most of staff nurses 120(60%) were GNM by qualication .Most of staff nurses 89(44.5%) were having <2 years of experience in present area .Half of the staff nurses 118(59%) had attended training regarding infection control .Almost Half of staff nurses 92(46%) were having mild favourable attitude. There was Statistically Signicant Association found between attitude and gender, professional qualication, years of experience and any training attended regarding infection control. Conclusion: In the present study it is concluded that most of the participants have mild favourable attitude towards catheter care for prevention of CAUTI and needs further focus and support to improve nursing care quality.

BACKGROUND Mental health is critical at every phase of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood. So it is very important to balance the mental harmony at these growing phases of life. OBJECTIVE To explore whether improvement in psychological well being and self satisfaction occur after implementation of virtual psychosocial programme. METHODS The study was Randomized, Quantitative Research Approach, and Quasi – Experimental (Non Equivalent control group pretest- posttest) Design. The experimental group participants were provided intervention for 21 days for an average of 45minutes/day. Postintervention asssessment was done (1day), follow up(15 days). Eligibility criteria included students who were undergraduates and studying in selected nursing institutes (1), willing to participate (2), having their own personal smart phones (3), Having lower and moderate level of psychological well being and moderately satisfied and unsatisfied level of self satisfaction; after screening from RYFF tool for psychological well being and self satisfaction measurement scale for self satisfaction (4). Discriptive and inferential test were used for analysis and P value <.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS A total of 112 participants were included in the analysis. The finding showed that majority 39(72.2%) were females, 31(57.4%) participants were not involved in any relaxation and other practices like (yoga, meditation, exercise, gym). Intervention in term of psychological well being and self satisfaction (P .00) were found to be statistically significant when assessed on the postintervention day 1 and the same result followed till 15 days of postintervention. A low positive correlation was found (r=.33, P=.01) between psychological well being and self satisfaction of undergraduate nursing students in experimental group (r=.33, P=.01) while in control group it was moderate correlation (r=.48, P=.00) at .05 level of significance. The majority 46(85.2%) of the participants were satisfied after performing intervention. CONCLUSIONS Virtual Psychosocial Programme is an effective modality to enhance the psychological well being and self satisfaction among undergraduate students. The findings of the study can be applied while designing future studies or mental health resources in university programs. CLINICALTRIAL .
