Few highlights of ongoing Research projects:


1. Ongoing Project (2024–26): Effects of Peppermint Oil Inhalation on Acute Nausea and Vomiting in Cancer Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy. This study investigates a low-cost complementary approach for symptom relief and its potential to improve patient wellbeing.

2. Ongoing Project (2024–26): Effect of Foot Reflexology on Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting in Breast Cancer Patients. This randomized controlled trial evaluates the efficacy of reflexology as an adjunct to antiemetic therapy, assessing symptom reduction, patient comfort, and quality of life.

3. Ongoing Project (2024–26): Effect of Educational Intervention on Nurses’ Knowledge and Practice Regarding Pressure Ulcer Prevention Care Bundle in the Intensive Care Unit. This randomized controlled study evaluates the effectiveness of a structured educational program for ICU nurses on pressure ulcer prevention. By improving knowledge and adherence to care bundles, the project aims to reduce pressure ulcer incidence and improve patient outcomes. Findings will inform nursing education and hospital protocols for enhanced critical care practices.

4. Ongoing Project (2024–26): Effectiveness of Nursing Interventions on Selected Respiratory Outcomes in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Patients Hospitalized with Acute Exacerbation. This randomized controlled trial evaluates the impact of specific nursing interventions on respiratory outcomes in hospitalized COPD patients during acute exacerbations. By improving care strategies and patient management, the project aims to enhance recovery, reduce complications, and optimize hospital outcomes. Findings will guide evidence-based nursing practices and contribute to improving standards of care for COPD management in clinical settings.

5. Ongoing Project (2024–26): Effect of Nurse-Led Educational Intervention on Health-Promoting Behavior, Glycemic Control, and Life Satisfaction among Type 2 Diabetes Patients This randomized controlled trial will evaluate the effect of nurse-led educational intervention on health-promoting behavior, glycemic control, and life satisfaction among patients with type 2 diabetes. The study will aim to enhance self-care and improve overall patient outcomes.
