To address this, and to attempt to understand these reasons, an exploratory study was undertaken to assess the prevalence of primary non-adherence with insulin and barriers to insulin initiation in these patients. METHODS Study participants were randomly selected from patients with T2DM who visited the diabetes clinic of a tertiary care teaching public hospital in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, India, and were prescribed insulin for the first time in last 2-year period. All participants were evaluated for history of primary non-adherence, and those who were non-adherent were subsequently interviewed face-to-face using a modified, validated semi-structured questionnaire to identify the reasons for primary non-adherence. A focused group discussion was also conducted with eight physicians to e...

Historically, nursing care plans were administered in academic field to teach a process that nursing students can
use it to identify and define a patient-centred problem. Nursing process has evolved to a five step process which
includes assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation and evaluation. But it has been observed that nurses
are not following all the steps of nursing process because of one or other reasons like inadequate knowledge
regarding nursing process, heavy workload, staff shortage, lots of paper work, poor quality of professional
education, lack of motivation and unplanned early discharge. Nurses are not developing care plans on the basis
of patient’s needs, they are just providing care which has been prescribed by the doctors and not focusing on
nursing care plan. Whereas, it is an essential document to maintain record. The impetus of this review is to
improve the utilization of nursing care plan by making it less time consuming, less paper work and reduces the
workload of nurses. So, nurses can change their attitude and start utilization of nursing care plan for providing
better care to the patient. This concise nursing care plan (CNCP) includes all the steps of nursing care plan and
reduces more writing work making it easy to follow.

Cochrane Library, and CINAHL and gray literature. The search terms were “umbilical vein injection,” “intraumbilical vein injection,” “umbilical vein oxytocin,” oxytocin, uterotonic, placenta, “retained placenta,” labor, “third stage of labor,” and “postpartum hemorrhage.” Five hundred and ninety-four articles were identified and nine met the inclusion
criteria. Data were analyzed by Review Manager 5.3. Results: The pooled results reported that duration of the third stage was 1.23 minutes (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.41–2.04) shorter, amount of blood loss was 79.09 ml. (95% CI: 46.90–111.28) lesser, and placental separation time was 37.69 seconds (95% CI: 0.58–74.80) shorter in the IUV oxytocin
group than the IV oxytocin group. Comparison of IUV oxytocin and IV carbetocin shows no statistically significant differences. In comparison with IM oxytocin, IUV oxytocin also results in 1.13 min (95% CI: 0.28–1.97) shorter duration of the third stage of labor but not shows any significant difference for amount of blood loss. Conclusion: IUV oxytocin
is more beneficial for reduction of duration of the third stage of labor, amount of blood loss, and placental separation time than the IV and IM oxytocin.
