a descriptive study to ASSESS the effectiveness of video assisted teaching programme on swine flu among pre-university college students at SELECTED COLLEGES OF gulbarga.

INTRODUCTION

“Infectious diseases will last as long as humanity itself”1

The swine flu is a viral disease that attacks pig occasionally transmitted to human, the swine flu is also known as pork flu ( any ) virus belonging to the family Orthomyxoviridae which is endemic in population of pigs. These strain of viruses are known as swine influenza virus of SIV (the acronym in English of swine influenza virus have been classified into influenza virus C or are the subtypes of the genus influenza virus A(being the best known strain H1N1 isolated in Japan and Europe).Most importantly the H1N1 influenza out break of 2009 in humans and known as swine flu swine influenza –is not caused by SIV only. This is a new strain of virus of influenza A H1N1 that contains genetic material matched a strain of human influenza virus a strain of avian influenza virus and two separate strain of swine influenza virus.

Swine flu is a respiratory tract infection from the pigs. This kind of virus can kill whole of the human race. Some of the symptoms of swine flu are fever, Lethargy, Lack of appetite, Runny nose, Sore throat, nausea, Vomiting,Diarrhea, and coughing. It is transmitted easily between humans, due to an ability attributed to a mutation not yet identified and makes it through the saliva, by air, by close contact between the mucous membrane or through hands mouth transmission due to contaminated hands.

The two antiviral drugs can be taken such as Tamiflu and Relenza available with prescription can make the illness milder and make feel better faster. These drugs are also prevent serious influenza complications. There are different agencies that are providing funding advice and other support from different rich nations to every country to assist swine flu epidemic planning and preparation.2

Prevalence of swine flu is highly contagious and has spread very fast to 191 countries. Starting from America to Europe, Asia to Africa. Number of confirmed cases and death as on 18th September 2009.In India 7374 number of confirmed deaths 225. Globally incidence 2, 96,471 and deaths globally 3,486.3

As per report 6 succumb to swine flu virus sniffed life of 6 more people in India taking toll to 463 in the country Till date the samples were 72,483 people have been tested for H1N1 in Government Laboratories and a few private laboratories across country and 13,722 of them have been found positive said a statement issued by Health Ministry Thus from the total sample size 72,483 that was tested 18.9 percent have found positive4.

6. BRIEF RESUME OF STUDY:

6.1 Need for study:

Since swine flu is a most recent epidemic outbreak and most highly dangerous disease it caused havoc in the minds of people to use surgical mask and caused tremendous fear in the mind of public.

To provide knowledge to the public regarding respiratory hygiene through mass media and educational messages through news paper,journals,magazines,Television,TV aids, Internet etc .Must be done. A step must be taken by the Government in distributing surgical masks and discouraging large public gatherings including theater events, Games etc.

To understand the epidemiology and clinical manifestation of recent cases of swine flu infections in India can help inform regional national and global control measures in response to the emergence of swine flu infection. Important areas for investigation worldwide include evidence of person-to-person transmissions the geographical distribution of disease the clinical spectrum of disease and the effectiveness of mitigation strategies.5

For various infection people are scared of swine flu of all ages in whole of countries. The people at high risk of getting swine flu are parents who have had drug treatment of Asthma in the past three years, pregnant women, people aged 65 years and older, children under five years of age, people with chronic lung disease, chronic heart disease, kidney disease, liver disease, chronic neurological disease people with immnosuppression or Diabetes mellitus.6

A study conducted on pregnant women’s and fetuses are at a high risk of getting infection with the movel H1N1 influenza virus obstetrics providers need to be prepared to provide comprehensive case to address increased morbidity,mortalicy, and pregnancy related complications including spontaneous miscarriage and preterm birth faced by pregnant women during an influenza pandemic.7

A Study Conducted on oseltamivir susceptibility and resistance on influenza, oseltamivir phosphate is a prodrug of oseltamivir carboxylate a highly specific inhibitor of influenza virus neuraminidase is critical for virus release from injected cells and subsequent virus spread the drug was expected to have a low propensity to select for viable resistant mutants. Indeed viruses with neuraminidase and haemagglutinin. Substitution conferring reduced susceptibility to oseltamivir incidence of resistance 0.32% in adults 0.4%in mixed virus population, 4.1% in children.8

6.2 Review of Literature:

A study conducted on hospital hygiene influenza says that influenza is a severe febrile disease if airways that occur epidemically in winter months and caused a high number of infection and deaths worldwide in 30 years. In order to prevent this situation called pandemic plan have been developed worldwide. Beside vaqccination, general hygienic precaution and antiviral therapies are the most important measures in the management of influenza.9

A study conducted on the initial psychological response to H1N1(“Swine Flue”):The outbreak of the pandemic flu in 2009 provided a major challenge to health services around the world. Previous pandemics have led to stockpiling of goods, the victimization of particular population group and cancellation of travel and boycott of foods (ex: pork). Researches examined behavior and attitudinal response towardsinfluenza A H1N1.10

A study conducted on Swine Flu (H1N1)-A Global Epidemic. Swine is a Swedish term means pig. Swine Flu was first spotted in the year 1173. in pig , horses and also in birds like Swans and hens. Oseltamivir or Zenamivir for treatment and prevention of virus. Avoid touching your eyes, mouth and nose , clean hands thoroughly and regularly. Avoid contact with people who are ill. Reduce spending time in crowded areas. Practice good healthy habits and nutritious diet.11

A study conducted by national pandemic influenza preparedness planning .The recent outbreaks of influenza A H5N1and swine influenza AH1N1 caused a global concern over potential for a new influenza pandemic.12

A study conducted on college football teams using preventive defense on virus in New York-helmet shoulder pads and hand sanitizers with outbreaks reported at university of Mississippi and Wisconsin players are under orders to wash their hands and cover their mouthswhen they cough orsneeze,lest these teams joined those who have been hit hard by the bug as couple of their room mates got sick on campus they prepared themselves by bringing big bottle of disinfectant for cleaning at home.13

Awareness drive for PU Students Director of Pre University Education Shankar Narayan asked principals of all PU Colleges in the state to take steps to create awareness among the students and parents about Swine Flu. They also organized a meeting of students and informed them about the symptoms of the disease and take them to nearest hospital for investigations incase they suffer and found positive for disease the heads should arrange for suitable treatment.14

A study was conducted on a simple method for molecular detection of swine origin and human origin influenza A virus. A real time one step reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction SYBR green assay derived from the method reported by Van Elden and collaborators 2001 ensures the rapid sensitive and cost effective detection of both seasonal influenza virus and emerging H1N1 swine origin A virus S-OIV. 15
