Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. Awareness of risk factors of CVD is the first step towards effective preventive strategies to combat the CVD burden in diabetes patients. This study aimed to assess the awareness of risk factors of CVD among patients with diabetes mellitus attending diabetic clinic of B.P Koirala Institute of Health Sciences (BPKIHS). Methods: A cross- sectional study was conducted among 112 patients with diabetes in diabetic clinic of BPKIHS. Convenient sampling was used for data collection over duration of six weeks using interview schedule by HDFQ II tool. The data were analyzed in the statistical package for social science software (SPSS) 16 versions and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: Majority of respondent were aware about common risk factors such as (83.9%) smoking, (78.6%) physical activity, (75%) increasing age, (75.9%) high blood pressure, (71.4%) overweight respectively. Whereas most of the respondents were not aware about high cholesterol, fatty diet, preventive strategies and association of diabetes with CVD. Awareness was statistically significant with educational status, monthly income, residence, CVD information received and co-morbid condition as a heart disease. Conclusions: Based on finding most of the respondents were aware about common risk factor even though they have inadequate level of awareness on overall risk factors of CVD among the risk factor they were poorly aware about cholesterol, gender and preventive aspect. So Effective education on diet and appropriate preventive strategies of CVD are indeed important to reduce CVD burden in diabetes patients.

Bullying is a subset of aggressive behavior that has severe consequences in children's psychosocial development. Bullying behaviors can be influenced by personal and social factors, such as gender, age, school type, and sport participation, as well as psychological constructs, such as moral disengagement. The present study was designed to investigate the effect of moral disengagement on bullying behaviors and the moderating role of personal and social factors. In this study, 2,252 students ( M = 13.57, SD = 1.17; 1,125 girls, and 1,127 boys) attending the sixth grade of primary school and secondary education have participated. Participants completed the revised Olweus Bully/Victim Questionnaire and Bandura's Moral Disengagement Questionnaire along with general questions about their demographic characteristics. The results of the analyses demonstrated moderation effects of gender on the moral disengagement-physical bullying relationship and of age on the moral disengagement-verbal bullying relationship. No significant moderating effect emerged for school type and sport participation. The findings of the present study provide valuable information about the role of personal and social factors on bullying behavior.
