Diaper rash occurs most commonly in infants between ages nine and 12 months, but can occur at any time the child wears a diaper. The present study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on prevention and management of napkin dermatitis in infants’ on mothers residing at Rural Naini, Allahabad. The conceptual framework set up for the study is Conceptual framework based on modified general system theory (Bertalamffy & JW Kenny). The model which has four phases i.e. input, throughput, output and feedback, context, It provide comprehension, systematic and continuous ongoing frame work for program evaluation and hence helped the investigator to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on prevention and management of napkin dermatitis in infants and assess the level of knowledge gained by the mothers regarding prevention and management of napkin dermatitis in infants. In this study various literature was reviewed which includes, the research design selected for the study was pre experimental research design of one group pre-test post-test design. The independent variable was structured teaching programme and dependent variables were level of knowledge of mothers in pre-test and post-test.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijphs.v2i1.1334

Plants are one of the most important sources of medicines. Among the plants known for medicinal value, the plants of genus Ocimum belonging to family Labiatae are very important for their therapeutic potentials. Ocimum sanctum L., known as ‘Tulsi’ in Hindi and ‘Holy Basil’ in English is an erect softy hairy aromatic herb or under shrub found throughout India. The antimicrobial activity is done by using Soxhlet apparatus method. For antimicrobial activity, Nutrient broth was used for inoculating the culture. Then wells were cut on the solidified agar medium which were swabbed with microorganism. Thus agar well diffusion method is carried out. The extracts were poured into the wells at different concentrations like 25%, 50% and 100%. After incubation, zone of inhibition was observed. So Ocimum sanctum can be used in developing drugs and medicines against various activities of Bacteria
