Aim: The aim of the Nursing Journal of India (NJI) is to promote excellence in
nursing practice, education, research, and policy development in the context of the
Indian healthcare system. NJI seeks to provide a platform for nurses, educators,
researchers, and policymakers to share their knowledge, experiences, and innovative
practices to enhance the quality of nursing care and contribute to the advancement of
nursing as a profession in India.

After peer review process, selected manuscripts for publication are edited before
publication.
Key words: provide 4 to 6 key words which can be used for indexing purposes.
III. Introduction
It shall be 3-4 paragraphs which consists of brief background of the problem studied,
Critique of relevant research articles that are referenced as per Vancouver/ APA style.
Clearly state the purpose / objectives and hypotheses tested.
IV. Materials and Methods
It should highlight the setting where the study was done,
Sample size and method of selection.
A brief description of the demographic variables of the sample could be provided in 2-3
sentences.
It should also have a description of the design, tools/ instruments used for collecting data;

V. Results
It must be presented in a logical sequence.
Only such data as are essential for understanding the discussion and main conclusions
emerging from the study should be included.
Data presented in tables and figures should not be repeated in the text.
Only important observations need to be emphasized or summarised.
The same data should not be presented both in tabular and graphic forms.
Interpretation of the data should be taken up only under the Discussion and not under Results.
VI. Discussion
The discussion should deal with the interpretation of results without repeating information
already presented under Results.
It should relate new findings to the known ones and include logical deductions.
The conclusions can be linked with the goals of the study but unqualified statements and
conclusions not completely supported by the data should be avoided.
Recommendations may be included as part of the Discussion, only when considered
absolutely necessary and relevance.

3.REVIEW OF ARTICLE:
INTRODUCTION:
OBJECTIVES
1. To assess the knowledge of transmission of HIV from mother to child among antenatal
mothers attending Gynae OPD at RIMS Hospital.
2. To associate the knowledge with selected demographic variables like age, education,
socioeconomic condition, occupation, marital status, previous experience etc.
HYPOTHESIS
Antenatal mothers may have inadequate knowledge about mother to child transmission of
HIV/AIDS.
CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
The Conceptual framework was based on Rosenstoch's Health Belief Model in 1975 (Fig 1).
METHODOLOGY
Research Approach: - Quantitative research approach.
Research Design: - Descriptive research study
Research Setting: RIMS Hospital, Imphal (Manipur)
Research variable: - In this present study research variable is knowledge of transmission of
HIV/AIDS from mother to child.
- Attributed variables include mothers education, age, family, type, occupation, income and
number of child
Target population: Selected mother attending in GYNAE OPD of RIMS Hospital
Sampling Technique: -
Sample size: - 200 Mother
Data collection Tool: - Structured questionnaire.
Data analysis and Interpretation: -Descriptive and inferential statistics.
Majority of antenatal mothers (n = 108, 54%) were having moderately adequate knowledge, 68
(34%) had inadequate knowledge and 24 (12%) of them had adequate knowledge regarding
transmission of HIV from mother to child (Table 1, Fig 2).
Table 2 reveals that the mothers scored mean value of 17.31, with mean percentage of 34.62 and the
standard deviation of 3.91.
The calculated (X2) values are more than tabulated value at level P.0.05 in case of age, pariety,
occupation of the mother.
However, the calculated (x²) values are less than tabulated value at level p > 0.05 in case of
education of the mother. Hence there is significant association between the education of the mother
with the knowledge score of antenatal mothers regarding transmission of HIV from mother to child.

RECOMMENDATIONS
A comparative study can be conducted in rural and urban areas and regular awareness
programme should be conducted for the rural areas regarding the mother to child
transmission of HIV.
CONCLUSION
The findings of the study clearly highlighted that the educational level of the mother has great
significance on the knowledge of MTCT of HIV by the antenatal mothers. Health education is
an important tool for bringing about the awareness of MTCT among the antenatal mothers.
Hence, promotion of health education about mother-to-child transmission of HIV/AIDS should
be our priority.
It is comprehensive in its
content.
