Evaluating HIV/Aids prevalence and sustainable development in sub-Saharan Africa: the role of health expenditure
Authors: Adetola Odugbesan Jamiu , Rjoub Husam
Published: September 2020

Background: The sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) present the highest prevalence of HIV/AIDS worldwide; resulting to a signif- icant development challenges at country, region and global level. The previous studies explain at least in part, the impact of the epidemic, however the impact of HIV/AIDS in long-term economic behavior were not yet clear. There is clearly few or absence of studies on the impact of the impact of the epidemic on sustainable development.

Objective: This study focused on macroeconomic analysis of the HIV/AIDS impact on sustainable development in SSA.

Method: The study utilized a panel dataset covering 23 countries from 1993 until 2016, and employed Panel ARDL/PMG.

Results: Our findings reveals a stable long-run relationship between sustainable development and HIV/AIDS prevalence. The error correction coefficient was statistically significant and conclude that HIV/AIDS prevalence has long-run impact on sustainable development.

Conclusion: The main implication of our study is that, achieving a sustainable development in the presence of high preva- lence of HIV/AIDS in SSA is very challenging and as such, the responsiveness of HIV/AIDS to sustainable development should be maintained at minimum which would require more efforts on HIV/AIDS control programs and increase health expenditure.

Published: September 2020

Background: Given the inconsistency of previous studies and the newly emerging evidence, we decided to conduct a me- ta-analysis.

Methods: The meta-analysis included 2 randomized controlled trials and 13 observational studies 742 patients in total. Qualified studies were properly searched from databases . Data were analyzed by the RevMan 5.3 software. Results were demonstrated as WMD , SMD and RR with 95% CIs, I2 and P value.

Results: We observed that a remarkable increase of complement C3 in the rituximab group than placebo group (WMD- fixed=7.67mg/dL, 95%CIs=-0.16~15.50, I2=0%, P=0.05). A significant increase of complement C4 was observed in the rituximab group than placebo group (WMDfixed=3.14mg/dL, 95%CIs=1.06~5.22, I2=0%, P=0.003). Notably decreased peripheral CD19+B cells in rituximab group than placebo group (WMDfixed=-117.93n/μl, 95%CIs=-172.94~-62.91, I2=0%, P<0.0001) in RCTs. Patients with severe or refractory SLE got more satisfactory efficacy results after receiving rituximab in observational studies, such as British Isles Lupus Assessment Group index score, SLE Disease Activity Index score, complement C3/C4, anti-dsDNA antibodies, peripheral CD19+B cells and so on. Safety profiles were no difference between rituximab and placebo groups.

Conclusion: although the efficacy of rituximab is highly controversial for SLE, our study shows that rituximab presents a satisfying efficacy and safety for SLE.

Authors: Chellan Jamila , Nokuthula Sibiya Maureen
Published: September 2020

Background: South Africa is moving towards National Health Insurance (NHI), which aims to provide access to universal health coverage for all South Africans. The NHI will only accredit and contract eligible health facilities that meet nationally approved quality standards in the public and private sector. Detailed tools for measuring compliance with the National Core Standards (NCS) and Batho Pele principles have been developed and implemented in the public sector. To date and since its implementation in the public sector, very little is known about the national audit tool and the method used to evaluate quality and patient safety standards in private hospitals in eThekwini district.

Objective: The aim of the study was to develop an audit tool for relicensing inspection of private hospitals in eThekwini district based on the clinical domains of the NCS and Batho Pele principles.

Methodology: An exploratory sequential mixed method research design was used with a qualitative first phase involving 24 nurse managers through purposive sampling. This was followed by a quantitative phase in which a structured questionnaire was administered to 270 nurses who were randomly sampled for the study from 4 hospitals.

Results: The results revealed that the NCS and the Batho Pele principles are not fully implemented or evaluated in the se- lected hospitals in eThekwini district.

Conclusion: These findings were significant and denoted the need for a standardised clinical audit tool for private hospitals in eThekwini district.

Keywords: Audit tool; best practices; patient care; patient rights;, support services.
Retracted: The effectiveness of basic life support training on nursing students’ knowledge and basic life support practices: a non-randomized quasi-experimental design
Authors: Kose Selmin , Akin Semiha , Mendi Onur , Goktas Sonay
Published: September 2020

This article has been retracted by the Editor as it has been published in a previous issue.

Background: Provision of up-to-date information and skills training related to basic life support practices is very important for nursing students’ professional development and practitioner and education related roles.

Objective: The purpose of the study was to examine the effectiveness of basic life support training on knowledge and practices among nursing students.

Methods: A non-randomized quasi-experimental design (one group pre-test-post-test) was used in this study. The study was conducted in the laboratory of an undergraduate nursing school. The sample consisted of a convenience sample of 1st-year stu- dents enrolled in the undergraduate nursing class. The study sample consisted of 65 nursing students. Basic life support training included both theoretical and practical components. The students’ knowledge and practices were assessed before basic life sup- port training. Data were collected using the knowledge assessment questionnaire. The practical skills for basic life support were observed and assessed using a checklist. The pre- and post-assessment practice scores were compared.

Results: After basic life support training, level of knowledge and practical skill scores were higher compared to pre-training scores (t= -12.442, p=0.000; t= -22.899, p=0.000). There was a significant and moderate association between the adult basic life support knowledge form scores and the adult basic life support practice assessment form scores obtained after the training (r = 0.39, p<0.01).

Conclusion: The study showed that basic life support training improved knowledge and skills related to basic life support practices in nursing students. Periodic basic life support training is very important for competency in this area among nursing students.

Psycho-behavioral factors associated with neurocognitive performance among people living with HIV on antiretroviral therapy in Accra, Ghana
Authors: Asiedu Nana , Kretchy Irene , Asampong Emmanuel
Published: September 2020

Background: It is estimated that almost half of all people living with HIV have some form of neurocognitive impairment, but few studies have looked at the risk of neurocognitive impairment and its associated factors in Ghana, due in part to limited resources for such testing.

Objective: To examine neurocognitive performance in a group of Ghanaians living with HIV and possible factors that contribute to their performance.

Methods: One hundred and four patients were assessed using a selection of brief non-invasive neuropsychological assess- ments as well as the International HIV Dementia Scale. Psycho-behavioural factors (alcohol use, depression, and medication adherence) as well as demographic characteristics and functional daily activities were assessed to determine their association with neurocognitive performance, using linear regression and receiver operating characteristic analyses.

Results: About 48% of the participants met the criteria for risk of neurocognitive impairment. Age, education, and symp- toms of depression were found to be significantly associated with the risk of impairment.

Conclusion: Some people living with HIV showed risk of neurocognitive impairment, which was significantly associated with education, age and depressive symptoms. It is therefore important to consider routine neurocognitive screening in HIV management to recognize any risks for early interventions.

Keywords: ART adherence; depression; neurologic disease.

Published: September 2020

Background. The aim of the study was to compare the epidemiology, clinical characteristics and treatment outcome of tuberculosis (TB), including HIV status, in women and men in southern rural Ethiopia.

Methods. We conducted a register-based retrospective cohort study covering the period from September 1998 to August 2015.

Results. We included records of 2252 registered TB patients: 1080 (48%) women and 1172 (52%) men. Median age was similar for women and men: 27.5 years and 25.0 years, respectively. Median weight in women was 43.0 kg (interquartile range IQR: 38.0, 49.0), significantly lower than in men (50.0 kg, IQR 44.0, 55.0; p = 0.01). Extrapulmonary TB was significantly more common in women than in men (34.1% versus 28.7%; p=0.006). Treatment outcomes were similar in both sexes: in 70.3% of women and 68.9% of men, TB mortality was slightly lower in women than men (4.7% vs. 6.5%; p=0.08). In patients with TB, female sex was independently associated with low weight (adjusted aOR: 0.91; 95% CI 0.90, 0.92), less mortality (aOR: 0.54; 95% CI 0.36, 0.81), and lymph node TB (aOR: 1.57; 95% CI 1.13, 2.19)

Conclusion. Lymph node TB was more common in women. Treatment outcomes were similar in both sexes, but women had a lower mortality rate.

Published: September 2020

Adolescence is crucial period in the life span where there are notable opportunities for the changing life experiences, there is lack of counselling services for mental health, anxiety and well-being. Mental health is now recognised is being crucial to over-all health and it is defined as 'subjective wellbeing, perceived self-efficacy, autonomy, competence, intergenerational dependence and self-actualization of adolescence. Despite widespread and increasing awareness of the mental health, anxiety and other psycho-social challenges which are being faced by adolescents, their needs in this area are largely unmet particularly in India. Counselling services can be contributed in adolescent’s mental health, academic anxiety, other psycho-social aspects for their successful completion of educational process and further entries in the various work-fields and employment. Counselling can play crucial role in achieving the dual goals of school safety and educational improvement, supportive and positive learning environment for them. Thus, the present study is an attempt to review the impact of counselling services on mental health and academic anxiety among adolescents, based on review of previous researches that have been conducted. The discussion along with some suggested measures have been included in research paper for emphasising the impacts of counselling for adequate mental health and academic anxiety.

Authors: Panta Prem Prasad , Amgain Kapil , Sharma Deepak , Chapagain Nirmala , Kafle Phanindra
Published: September 2020

Background: Overweight and obesity are major risk factors for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) like diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, musculoskeletal disorders, including cancer. The risk of NCDs increases, with increases of body mass index (BMI). Food choices and eating habits have been changed according to the pace of development and urbanization. Such a nutritional transition has been claimed for increasing rates of overweight and obesity which are recently observed in our adolescent and youths. Adolescents and youths are vulnerable groups of the development of overweight and obesity. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of obesity and the associated food pattern among Nepalese medical students.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 170 medical students of Nepal Medical College of 17 to 26 years in December 2018 using a self-administered questionnaire to assess the pattern of eating habit and prevalence of overweight and obesity by using BMI classification. Data were analyzed using SPSS statistical software, and the Chi-square test was used to establish the relationship of variables.

Results: The study showed that 7.1% of the participants were overweight and obese with average BMI of 21.46± 2.74. Three-fourth (72.4%) of the participants reported taking meals regularly. Two third of the participants (65.9%) reported that they consume vegetables and the vast majority (83.5%) had eaten fruits at least a day.

Less than half of the students (44.1%) were found to be alcohol users whereas consumption of smoking was not common (1.2%). Demographic variables such as the income of the family and ethnicity were significantly associated with BMI (p <.05).

Conclusion: The prevalence of obesity was found to be low in comparison of national scenario as the healthy food habits were predominant among the medical students.

Aim. Evaluation of statistical data on the prevalence of patients with schizophrenic spectrum disorders in Moscow, to substantiate a new stage of the development of out-patients system of treatment and rehabilitation of this category of patients. Methods. There is considered trend of the accounted contingent of patients with schizophrenic spectrum disorders in Moscow for fifteen years (2004-2018). Results. There is a decrease in the number of patients with schizophrenic spectrum disorders (from 0.53% to 0.44% of the permanent population of Moscow) under observation in the state health care system, which is explained by the processes of deinstitutionalization and a shift in emphasis towards the outpatient level of psychiatric care. From the standpoint of the biopsychosocial approach, the tendency to change the ratio of observed male and female patients (increase in the proportion of male patients and decrease in female) over the specified period is discussed. The article analyzes the draft of the new version of the international classification of mental and behavioral disorders (ICD-11) in terms of schizophrenic spectrum disorders in terms of optimizing psychiatric care for this contingent of patients. Conclusion. The observed changes in the considered contingent of patients and the introduction of new approaches to the diagnosis and therapy of patients with schizophrenic spectrum disorders indicate the onset of a new stage in the development of out-patient treatment and rehabilitation system based on the latest achievements of psychopharmacology and the development of social support systems for patients with mental disorders.

Vezet a ritmus és tanít is
Authors: Alencsik Melinda
Published: September 2020

A statisztikák és a pedagógusok tapasztalatai szerint az utóbbi időkben az iskolákban egyre több a beilleszkedési, magatartási és tanulási nehézséggel küzdő, devianciára hajlamos tanuló. Tudatos irányítás, megfelelő szervezettség, empatikus pedagógus attitűd mellett a tánc ugyanakkor levezeti a fölös energiákat, oldja a feszültséget, erősíti a testet, növeli az állóképességet, teret ad az önkifejezésre, az egyéniség kibontakoztatására és még számtalan egyéb pozitív hatással bír.

Az önmagukat és a világban helyüket kereső kamaszok számára nagyszerű közösségi terep a tánccsoport, ahol megtapasztalhatják az elfogadottság érzését, ugyanakkor a kortársak referenciát, egyféle igazodási pontot is jelentenek. Minderre nagyszerű bizonyíték Pierre Dulaine, a francia származású táncos és kiváló táncpedagógus munkássága (mely a Vezet a ritmus című filmben is látható). Számára a táncos képességek fejlesztésénél előbbre való a tanítványok szociális készségeinek fejlesztése és érzelmi nevelésük.
A digitális munkarend tapasztalatai a Magyar Táncművészeti Egyetemen
Authors: Papp-Danka Adrienn , Lanszki Anita
Published: September 2020

A COVID-19 betegség megjelenésével Magyarországon kormányrendelet írta elő, hogy a járványhelyzetben a felsőoktatási intézményeknek távoktatás formájában kell teljesíteni folyamatban lévő kurzusaikat. A helyzethez való alkalmazkodás különösen nagy kihívás volt a Magyar Táncművészeti Egyetemen, ahol a táncos jellegű képességfejlesztő órákon a személyes jelenlét és a teremadottságok nélkül nehezen képzelhető el fejlődés, de kihívást jelentett az is, hogy az intézményben nem volt egységes e-learning gyakorlat, csupán egyes oktatók számára volt mindennapos a digitális eszközök oktatási célú használata. Kutatásunkban feltártuk, milyen oktatási gyakorlatok alakultak ki a Magyar Táncművészeti Egyetem elméleti, valamint gyakorlatorientált, táncos kurzusain, továbbá hogy milyen tapasztalatokra tettek szert az oktatók és a hallgatók a majd’ 3 és fél hónapos időszak alatt. Az oktatók (n=65) és hallgatók (n=240) kitöltöttek egy eszközhasználatra és kurzus menedzsmentre vonatkozó online kérdőívet, továbbá a válaszadó oktatók közül 13-an strukturált interjúban is részletezték tapasztalataikat. Az oktatók nagy része pozitívan fogadta mindazt, amit a távoktatásból profitálni tudott, de érthető módon a tánc online távoktatását sokan lehetetlennek ítélték meg. A hallgatók egy része a saját időbeosztás és az otthoni kényelem miatt élvezte a távoktatást, de számos kritikával illették annak módszereit.
Tánc és matematika kapcsolatának vizsgálata első osztályosoknál
Authors: Pálinkás-Molnár Mónika , Bernáth László
Published: September 2020

A tánc és a matematika első hallásra két, egymástól igen távol álló fogalomnak tűnhet. Tanulmányunk elméleti részében azt mutatjuk be, hogy a matematikai- és a téri képesség között erős kapcsolat van, továbbá a tánc és a téri képesség között is kimutatható összefüggés. Ebből viszont az a hipotézis következik, hogy a tánc fejleszti a téri képességet és ezen keresztül a matematikai képességet is. Ezt első osztályos gyerekekkel vizsgáltuk.

Az egy hónapig tartó foglalkozások során kreatív gyermektánc és mozgásos drámapedagógiai feladatokat használtunk. A gyermekek előzetes és a foglalkozások utáni tudását egy matematikai és egy téri képességeket mérő feladatsorral mértük. Az általunk kapott negatív eredmény lehetséges okait megkíséreltük feltárni.
A közösségi média hatása a hip-hop órákra és táncosaira
Authors: Zimányi Gabriella , Lanszki Anita
Published: September 2020

A közösségi média népszerűsége vitathatatlan, felhasználóinak száma a kezdetek óta exponenciálisan nő. Az online jelenlét a művészetek és ezen belül a hip-hop tánc világát is befolyásolja, mivel a tartalommegosztó platformokon a hip-hop felvételek hirtelen tömegeket értek el. Koreográfusok és táncosok ismert celebekké váltak megosztott táncos videóik nyomán, amelyeken a táncrészletek egyre előadásszerűbbé, szerkesztettebbé, ezáltal manipuláltabbá váltak. A megosztások irreális elvárások elé állítják a tanítani és tanulni vágyókat egyaránt, ezen kívül a közösségimédia-használat számos egyéb jellegzetessége is befolyásolhatja a hip-hop tánc tanítását. A közösségi média hip-hop tánccal való összefüggését kvalitatív mélyinterjúk formájában vizsgáltuk Budapesten, Londonban és Los Angelesben. A megkérdezett koreográfus-tanárok (n=6) válaszai alapján sikerült feltárni, milyen negatív és pozitív hatásokat fejt ki a közösségi media a hip-hop oktatására, közelebbről pedig a tanóraszervezésre, valamint a pedagógusok és növendékeik motivációjára. A tanulmányban összegezzük továbbá azt is, hogyan befolyásolják a közösségi médiában található hip-hop tartalmak a koreográfusok és tánciskoláik népszerűségét, a növendékek szakmai fejlődését és munkalehetőségeit az egyes régiókban.

Cláusula de exclusão por cometimento de crime hediondo, atos terroristas e de tráfico de drogas da condição de refugiado: a intervenção indevida do Direito Penal nos Direitos Humanos
Authors: Brauner Daniela Corrêa Jacques
Published: September 2020

O aumento do número de refugiados no mundo hoje tem evidenciado uma crise de imigração com a procura de novos lares por milhares de pessoas que se qualificam como refugiados. No Brasil, o regime jurídico foi estabelecido pela Lei 9.474 que consigna uma definição ampliada do conceito de refugiados logo em seu artigo 1º. A referida legislação foi adotada tendo em vista a adesão ao Brasil à Convenção das Nações Unidas relativa ao Estatuto dos Refugiados de 1951. No entanto, a legislação nacional apresenta novas hipóteses de exclusão em relação ao cometimento de crimes hediondos, atos terroristas e tráfico de drogas, sem igual previsão no principal tratado internacional sobre o tema. O desenvolvimento do estudo sobre a temática irá evidenciar que a cláusula de exclusão contida no art. 3º da Lei nº 9.474 revela uma interferência de política criminal que viola a proteção internacional dos direitos humanos. A análise a respeito do cometimento dos delitos apontados poderá descaracterizar a condição jurídica de refugiado instrumentalizada na referida Convenção, com expressa violação ao princípio do nonrefoulement. Admitindo-se a natureza de Direitos Humanos ao Direito dos Refugiados, a sua proteção não pode estar condicionada à interferência da política criminal nacional, cada vez mais acentuada e discriminatória dos indivíduos, pois o respeito aos direitos humanos tem aplicação universal e incondicional. As considerações sobre a interferência do Direito Penal no conceito de refugiado, revela enfraquecimento da proteção dos direitos humanos a que o Brasil se comprometeu no âmbito do direito internacional.

Authors: Pires Oliveira Thiago
Published: September 2020

O presente trabalho pretende estudar o papel da defensoria pública para a efetivação do princípio democrático no Sistema Interamericano de Direitos Humanos, considerando o pensamento de Jürgen Habermas. Expõe-se o princípio democrático correlacionando-a com a soberania popular, bem como há uma reflexão sobre a teoria do discurso jurídico de Habermas. Em seguida, delineia-se a posição da defensoria pública no plano do direito interno e no sistema interamericano, inclusive mencionando a defensoria pública interamericana. Por fim, realiza-se um esforço de verificar a contribuição da defensoria no âmbito da relação de cooriginaridade entre os direitos humanos e a soberania popular.

Authors: De Assis Victor Hugo Siqueira
Published: September 2020

O presente artigo tem como objetivo apresentar o estado da arte da assistência jurídica integral e gratuita no Brasil, a partir da análise do papel da Defensoria Pública na efetivação dos direitos fundamentais dos mais necessitados. Para tanto, primeiramente, sera? debatido o conceito de acesso à justiça, quais os principais obstáculos à sua realização, além de algumas soluções práticas inseridas nas “ondas renovatórias” propostas inicialmente por Mauro Cappelletti e Bryant Garth. Posteriormente, discutir-se-á a evolução histórica dos instrumentos jurídicos garantidores do acesso à justiça gratuito no âmbito brasileiro, culminando com a constitucionalização do atual modelo, que prevê a Defensoria Pública como a instituição responsável pela sua concretização. Em seguida, será abordada a forma como a Defensoria Pública se consolidou como instituição autônoma, com funções institucionais de vanguarda, finalizando com uma reflexão acerca de como sua revolução normativa e prática tem aberto novas perspectivas de atuação.
Maternidade no sistema prisional: dispositivos legais e possíveis alternativas ao encarceramento

Published: September 2020

O presente estudo tem como objetivo realizar uma abordagem a respeito do sistema carcerário feminino brasileiro, com enfoque na invisibilidade social das mulheres encarceradas e de seus filhos menores enquanto inseridos nas casas prisionais. Para tanto, o trabalho busca identificar as legislações nacionais e internacionais que tratam sobre o tema, denunciar as irregularidades vivenciadas e apontar possíveis alternativas ao encarceramento, utilizando da pesquisa bibliográfica-documental, baseando-se em materiais já publicados sobre o assunto e documentos normativos. Os resultados mostram que nos últimos anos se intensificaram as discussões acerca do encarceramento feminino, o que repercutiu no âmbito legislativo, especialmente no que diz respeito à situação das apenadas mães e gestantes. Entretanto, as normas vigentes carecem de aplicação no campo prático, sendo reiteradamente violadas. Por estas razões, se faz necessária a reafirmação constante daquilo que já está previsto no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro.

Published: September 2020

O presente artigo tem o objetivo de apresentar a experiência de trabalho do Projeto Migrantes Egressas (PME) do Instituto Terra, Trabalho e Cidadania (ITTC), que tem como escopo o atendimento direto com mulheres migrantes egressas do sistema prisional paulista. Propõe-se assim relacionar a experiência de trabalho do projeto junto às mulheres migrantes envolvidas com o sistema penal brasileiro com as mudanças proporcionadas pela nova Lei de Migrações (Lei 13.445/2017), além de discutir o acesso a direitos, serviços e políticas públicas no novo cenário que se conforma com cada vez mais mulheres migrantes respondendo processos criminais e cumprindo penas fora do sistema prisional. Se por um lado as medidas tomadas para o desencarceramento de mulheres migrantes representam uma inegável conquista, por outro, a saída da prisão não necessariamente representa o pleno acesso à liberdade, trazendo uma série de novas questões a serem enfrentadas no cotidiano.
A REVIEW ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF ANGIOTENSIN CONVERTING ENZYME INHIBITORS IN REDUCING CARDIOVASCULAR MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY RISKS

ABSTRACT Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) are long been preferred as a therapeutic choice for cardiovascular disease due to its safe supremacy to overcome the deleterious effects of Angiotensin II, which is a strong vasoconstrictor increases the levels of different growth factors and adhesion molecules. It produces an oxidative stress that accounts for its apoptotic properties. The cardiac myocyte undergoes necrosis induced by angiotensin II and it also activates neurohumoral system in post infarction left ventricular dysfunction patients.  ACE inhibitors reduce the production of angiotensin II by endothelial cells. It also simultaneously diminishes the deprivation of bradykinin that results in vasodilation to overcome the effects of angiotensin II by exerting its anti-apoptotic actions. Clinical trials such as SAVE, SOLVD, AIRE and TRACE indicated that the life expectancy can be increase by ACE inhibitors in patients having left ventricular dysfunction.  EUROPA study suggested that in all patients of coronary heart diseases, perindopril is a treatment of choice along with other preventive therapies. Evidences of clinical researches supports the usage of ACE inhibitors and showed improve clinical results in patients with primary hypertension, stable coronary artery diseases, stable ischemic diseases with preserved ventricular function or reduced ventricular function, and myocardial infarction.FDA has approved that ACE inhibitors as adjunctive therapy in systolic heart failure, and in patients with a history of myocardial infarction and those having reduced ejection fraction to prevent HF. Perindopril is also approved by FDA for cases of stable coronary artery diseases and it is helpful to reduce the risk of mortality with Myocardial infarction.

ABSTRACT   Acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is still the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. It usually occurs due to thrombotic occlusion of single coronary artery. Rarely, it can also occur due thrombotic occlusion of more than one coronary artery which is deem to be associated with lethal complications. Here we present similar case of  a 60 years old male admitted in the hospital with presenting complain of typical chest pain for 10 hours. There was no past medical history of any disease. On investigation, ECG showed ST-segment elevation in multiple leads (V1-V6, II, III, Avf). Coronary angiogram showed occlusive thrombus in right coronary artery (RCA) and left Anterior Descending artery (LAD). Both Arteries were re-canalized and stents were placed in both arteries. There was slow flow in both arteries post-stenting so despite of stent under expansion it was planned to do Staged Post dilatation. Patient was administered GPIIb/IIIa inhibitor for 48 hours and low molecular weight heparin for 4 days followed by post-dilatation with non-compliant balloon. After giving antiplatelet and anticoagulation therapy, post-dilatation of both stents was done as staged procedure.

Objective: the objective of the study was to assess the relationship between fate control, hardiness, and wellbeing among the patients of myocardial infarction, with the mediating role of gratitude and resilience. Methodology: The cross-sectional research design was used to assess the relationship between the variables. The sample comprised of 150 cardiac patients included (male =111 and female =39), with the age range from 18 to 70 years. Informed consent was taken and confidentiality was ensured. The data was collected through valid and reliable indigenously translated instruments. Furthermore, data was analyzed through using SPSS-23 and AMOS-21. Results: The mean age of the study participants was 39 + 7.6 years. The results showed that fate control and hardiness were significantly correlated (p < .05) with wellbeing in cardiac patients. Furthermore, Path analysis through structure equational modeling revealed that resilience and gratitude mediated the association between fate control, hardiness, and wellbeing (χ2 (1) = 3.01, p = .05, CFI = .96, GFI = .96). However, the wellbeing of the patients during the mediation was affected by the covariates such as age, gender, and hospital sector. Conclusion: The adaptive functions of fate control, and hardiness as a cognitive defensive mechanism and highlight the need to incorporate this cultural belief in developing culturally sensitive intervention programs to enhance resilience and wellbeing of the patients with myocardial infarction. Keywords: Myocardial Infarction, Fate Control, Hardiness, Wellbeing of Cardiac Patients.
