“…The study suggests intervention programs to increase public HG awareness to prevent communicable diseases like COVID-19 and others. Previous research also highlights vital subjects in the growing beauty business [2,3,9,10]. Current study findings align with previous research in this area, which consistently highlighted the significance of maintaining high levels of BPH to prevent the spread of infections and ensure customer safety [5].…”

Background: The beauty-care industry flourishes globally, including in Kathmandu, Nepal. Despite limited research on personal hygiene, beauty parlors lack comprehensive studies. This study aims to assess beauty parlor public hygiene (BPH) awareness among university students. Methods: The researchers employed a quantitative cross-sectional approach and purposive sampling to gather data from consumers. Consumers were surveyed using self-designed tools, and the researchers assessed the tools’ reliability, validity, and pilot-tested them. The reliability (Cronbach’s alpha) of the tools was measured at 0.793. Prior to conducting the final study, the researchers obtained ethical approval. In this study, the researchers utilized descriptive analysis, t-tests, and Chi-square tests to analyze the data. Results: In this study, descriptive analysis showed that 53.0% of consumers scored 50.0% or lower in awareness of BPH. A one-sample t-test revealed a significant result (p=0.049) for BPH, with a mean difference of 0.753 (95% confidence interval: 0.0032 to 1.5033). Regarding sociodemographic variables, the mean age of consumers was 26.89 years. 52.1% of consumers visited beauty parlors more than once a month, and 43.8% spent between 501 and 1,000 rupees per month. The main services consumers sought were hair styling/cutting and facial/skin care in this study. Conclusions: Researchers suggested that below 50.0% of consumers scored low levels of awareness regarding BPH. Therefore, targeted interventions, more in-depth research studies, interdisciplinary collaboration, and standardized protocols for regulating and monitoring beauty parlor services are recommended. Regular laboratory examinations to identify different types of microbes such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses are also suggested to prevent various types of communicable and pandemic diseases.

Background: Emotional intelligence (EI) and quality of life (QoL) are critical aspects of women’s health that have received limited attention in previous studies. Most research on EI has focused on business leadership, while QoL studies have predominantly revolved around diseases. This study aims to bridge this gap by examining the relationship between EI, education level, and QoL among women in the reproductive health age group. Methods: A quantitative, cross-sectional study was conducted, involving a total sample of N = 104 participants. Self-administered questionnaires designed and validated for EI and QoL assessment, were employed. The study utilized structured instruments, such as the SF-12 questionnaire, known for their reliability. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, regression analysis, and one-way ANOVA tests. Results: The findings revealed that there is a moderate correlation between EI and QoL among the studied population. However, this relationship did not attain statistical significance. On the other hand, education level demonstrated a positive association with EI but did not exert a significant influence on QoL in this particular study. Conclusion: In conclusion, while EI did not exhibit a strong direct relationship with QoL, it remains a crucial skill for enhancing women’s well-being. Also, education level plays a role in increasing EI, as it is a skill that can be learned and developed. Hence, interventions focusing on enhancing EI could potentially improve QoL among women. Further research and targeted interventions are recommended to empower women to experience a better QoL and overall well-being.

Background: Yoga’s influence on the well-being and performance of youth has garnered increasing attention due to its numerous benefits, such as stress reduction, enhanced concentration, and improved physical fitness. However, research on the awareness and practice of yoga among youth in Nepal remains limited. Therefore, this study aims to examine the level of awareness and involvement in yoga practice among high school students in Nepal. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study design is followed to examine the awareness and practice of yoga among high school students’ participants N = 226, in selected institutions in Kathmandu District. The study focused on two institutions: One institutes is situated in Bashundhara, Kathmandu, and another in Kamaladi, Kathmandu. Stratified sampling method is used. Researchers utilized self-administered tools. These tools were self-designed in consultation with experts, underwent pilot testing, and underwent reliability and validity testing. Additionally, descriptive and Chi-square tests were administered. Results: The study revealed that 49.8% of participants had a poor level of awareness about yoga. Additionally, the majority of respondents (90.5%) reported not having a habit of practicing yoga. Conclusion: The current study found a poor level of knowledge about yoga, with only a few participants engaged in practicing it. These findings suggest a gap between knowledge and practice. However, evidence suggests that regular yoga practice supports the enhancement of mental well-being and performance. Therefore, researchers strongly recommend that academic leadership, parents, and teachers introduce such packages in schools and implement interventions, such as life skills education, to promote and maintain sustainable habits.
