IOSR Journal of Nursing and health Science is ambitious to disseminate information and experience in education, practice and investigation between medicine, nursing and all the sciences involved in health care. Nursing & Health Sciences focuses on the international exchange of knowledge in nursing and health sciences. The journal publishes peer-reviewed papers on original research, education and clinical practice.
By encouraging scholars from around the world to share their knowledge and expertise, the journal aims to provide the reader with a deeper understanding of the lived experience of nursing and health sciences and the opportunity to enrich their own area of practice. The journal publishes original papers, reviews, special and general articles, case management etc.
The cards also contain recommendations for inclusion of SRHR in the post-2015 development framework. The briefing cards were developed by partners in the Universal Access Project, which aims to bolster the U.S. government’s support for international reproductive health and family planning. However, the cards are not specific to a U.S. policy context so their content will be useful for a wide range of advocates as we move toward intergovernmental negotiations and continue to make the case with governments about the importance of ensuring the comprehensive inclusion of sexual and reproductive health and rights within the post-2015 development framework.

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

REPRODUCTIVE_HEALTH[1].pptx
1.
2. Learning objectives:
To define reproductive health
To know the historical development of RH
Understand RH indicators and criteria for
selection of indicators
To understand the relationship of
reproductive health and gender
Know the targets of reproductive health
3. Reproductive health addresses the human
sexuality and reproductive processes,
functions and system at all stages of life and
implies that people are able to have “a
responsible, satisfying and safe sex life and
that they have the capability to reproduce and
the freedom to decide if, when and how often
to do so.”
4. Men and women have the right to be informed
and have access to safe, effective, affordable and
acceptable methods of their choice for the
regulation of fertility which are not against the
law, and the right of access to appropriate health
care services for safe pregnancy and childbirth
and provide couples with the best chance of
having a healthy infant.
Reproductive health is life-long, beginning even
before women and men attain sexual maturity
and continuing beyond a woman's child-bearing
years.
5. Historical development of the concept It is
helpful to understand the concept and to
examine its origins.
During the 1960s, UNFPA established with a
mandate to raise awareness about population
“problems” and to assist developing countries.
Concern about population growth (particularly in
the developing world and among the poor)
coincided with the rapid increase in availability of
technologies for reducing fertility
6. The contraceptive pill became available during the 1960s
along with the IUD and long acting hormonal methods.
In 1972, WHO established the Special Program of
Research, Development and Research Training in Human
Reproduction (HRP), whose mandate was focused on
research into the development of new and improved
methods of fertility regulation and issues of safety and
efficacy of existing methods.
Moreover, they held the promise of being able to prevent
recourse to abortion (generally practiced in dangerous
conditions) or infanticide.
Population policies became widespread in developing
countries during the 1970s and 1980s and were supported
by UN Reproductive Health 4 agencies and a variety of
NGOs.
7. The term “Reproductive Health “is most often equated
with one aspect of women’s lives; motherhood.
Complications associated with various maternal
issues are indeed major contributors to poor
reproductive health among millions of women
worldwide.
Half of the world’s 2.6 billion women are now 15 – 49
years of age.
Without proper health care services, this group is
highly vulnerable to problems related to sexual
intercourse, pregnancy, contraceptive side effects,
etc.
Death and illnesses from reproductive causes are the
highest among poor women everywhere
8. Three elements are of particular importance.
The first was the growing strength of the women’s
movement and their criticism of the over-emphasis on the
control of female fertility - and by extension, their sexuality
- to the exclusion of their other needs.
A second key development was the advent of the
HIV/AIDS pandemic; suddenly it became imperative to
respond to the consequences of sexual activity other than
pregnancy, in particular sexually transmitted diseases. But
perhaps more important, it became possible (and essential)
to talk about sex, about sexual Reproductive Health 6
relations outside of marriage as well as within it, and about
the sexuality of young people.
9. A third development, that brought a unity to
the others, was the articulation of the concept
of reproductive rights.
An interpretation of international human
rights treaties in terms of women’s health in
general and reproductive health in particular
gradually gained acceptance during the
1990s.
10. The World Health Organization (WHO) and
UNICEF estimate that about 1% of women in
Somalia currently use a modern method of
contraception.
Consequently, Somalia’s total fertility rate is
estimated to be one of the highest in the world,
at approximately 6.7 children per woman.
Only 9.4% of births in this context occur in health
facilities, and the maternal mortality ratio in
Somalia is over 1,000 deaths per 100,000 live
births.
Access to a range of existing reproductive health
services, such as ongoing contraceptive methods,
antenatal care, skilled birth attendants, and
postpartum care, is extremely limited.
11. Abortion is severely restricted in Somalia and is
only legally permissible to save the woman’s life.
And Somalia remains one of the only countries in
the world yet to register a dedicated progestin-
only emergency contraceptive pill.
Compared to other countries in the East African
region, Somalia remains an outlier with respect
to reproductive health indices and outcomes; use
of skilled birth attendants during childbirth and
modern contraceptive methods, for example, is
considerably higher in every country throughout
the region
12. Quality family planning services
Promoting safe motherhood: prenatal, safe
delivery and post natal care, including breast
feeding;
Prevention and treatment of infertility
Prevention and management of complications
of unsafe abortion
Safe abortion services, where not against the
law
13. Treatment of reproductive tract infections,
including sexually transmitted infections
Information and counseling on human
sexuality, responsible parenthood and sexual
and reproductive health
Active discouragement of harmful practices,
such as female genital mutilation and
violence related to sexuality and reproduction
Functional and accessible referral
14. There are sixteen reproductive health
indicators developed by the United Nation
Population Fund (UNFPA) are given below.
1. Total fertility rate
2. 2. Contraceptive prevalence (any method).
3. Maternal mortality ratio.
4. Antenatal care coverage
5. Births attended by skilled health personnel
15. 6. Availability of basic essential obstetric care
7. Availability of comprehensive essential
obstetric care
8. Perinatal mortality rate
9. Low birth weight prevalence
10. Prevalence of anemia in women
12. Percentage of obstetric and gynecological
admissions owing to abortion
16. 13. Reported prevalence of women with FGM
14. Prevalence of infertility in women
15. HIV prevalence in pregnant women:
Percentage of pregnant women
16. Knowledge of HIV-related prevention
practices:
17. It implies that
Couples have the ability to reproduce and
regulate their fertility
Women are able to go through pregnancy and
child birth safely
Outcome of the pregnancy is successful in
terms of maternal and infant survival and well-
being and
Couples are able to have sexual relations free
of the fear of pregnancy and of contracting any
disease
18. The Life Cycle approach in Women's and
Men's Health:
Pre-birth Infancy Childhood
Adolescence Reproductive age Elderly
19. Rationale for Defining Target Population
To set priority and deliver appropriate services to high
risk groups.
To utilize resources efficiently, •
To plan the type of services to be provided
To address equity in delivery of the health services
The target population of a service includes for whom the
service is primarily or solely intended.
20. These people may be of a certain age or sex or may have
other common characteristics.
A. Women of child-bearing age (15 – 49 years old)
Women alone are at risk of complications from
pregnancy and childbirth
Women face high risks in preventing unwanted
pregnancy; they bear the burden of using and
suffering potential side effects from most
contraceptive methods, and they suffer from the
consequences of unsafe abortion.
21. B. Adolescents (Both sexes):
Adolescents lack reliable reproductive health
information, and thus the basic knowledge to make
responsible choice regarding their reproductive
behavior
During adolescence normal physical development
may be adversely affected by inadequate diet,
excessive physical stress, or pregnancy before
physiological maturity is attainted.
22. C. Under Five Children:
children’s health is a base for healthy adolescence
and childbearing ages.
Proper health service for children serves to increase
the opportunities of women to have contact with the
health institution.
The health of children and women is inseparable
