SELF-EFFICACY AND SPORTS: PERCEPTION OF PUNJAB UNIVERSITY ATHLETES

Self-efficacy is a person's judgment about being able to perform a particular task. It's a student’s belief on his/her capabilities to perform a particular activity. It is not necessary that if a person has a high self-efficacy in a certain area then he will have the same in other. Self-efficacy varies from person to person or task to task. Self-efficacy theory originated from social cognitive theory of Albert Bandura(1995), i.e. "The belief in one’scompetencies to execute the courses of action required to manageprobablecircumstances".It can also be said that it is the belief of a person that he can perform in a certain manner to achieve a certain goal. These beliefs are factors of how people think, behave and feel (Bandura, 1994).

Athletes training, cardio workout drill on a treadmill, bodyweight exercises, dance and energetic virtual reality, can resource to prevent the bodily damage and intellectual cataclysmic outcome of the pandemic and are the pragmatic hints for staying energetic while quarantining or self-isolation. This commentary offers beneficial facts on domestic-primarily based totally on bodily exercises for sedentary humans throughout the continuance, along with kids and adolescents, which could be undertaken for the duration of the prevailing pandemic or different outbreaks of infectious disorder.

Extended Health Services of Pharmacists: Role in COVID-19 Management

COVID-19 is creating a chaotic scenario all over the world. Due to the unavailability of approved therapy, the number of affected cases is escalating day by day. Different components of the healthcare system have been consistently working in different settings for its containment. Pharmacists are one of the healthcare experts, who are working on the front-line. In this review, we aimed to evaluate the activities of pharmacists as a healthcare professional in disasters such as; COVID-19 management. The focus on services offered by pharmacists has shifted from traditional dispensing and compounding to patient-specific over a period contributing to the quality use of medicine and primary care. Pharmacists are thus, considered essentially one of the main pillars of the healthcare team for the provision of extended health services (EHS), for instance, the effective management of COVID-19. They are working from community to clinical setting. Practicing tele-pharmacy health services, they can reach out to remote places as well. Utilizing their expertise on clinical as well as managerial aspects, they have proved to be dynamic professionals in such a global health crises. Adequate training, inclusion of disaster management in the curriculum of pharmacy, support from the legislative body, and inter- as well as intra-professional collaboration are the key factors for professional development and recognition

SARS-CoV-2 vaccination modelling for safe surgery to save lives: data from an international prospective cohort study

Background: Preoperative SARS-CoV-2 vaccination could support safer elective surgery. Vaccine numbers are limited so this study aimed to inform their prioritization by modelling. Methods: The primary outcome was the number needed to vaccinate (NNV) to prevent one COVID-19-related death in 1 year. NNVs were based on postoperative SARS-CoV-2 rates and mortality in an international cohort study (surgical patients), and community SARS-CoV-2 incidence and case fatality data (general population). NNV estimates were stratified by age (18-49, 50-69, 70 or more years) and type of surgery. Best- and worst-case scenarios were used to describe uncertainty. Results: NNVs were more favourable in surgical patients than the general population. The most favourable NNVs were in patients aged 70 years or more needing cancer surgery (351; best case 196, worst case 816) or non-cancer surgery (733; best case 407, worst case 1664). Both exceeded the NNV in the general population (1840; best case 1196, worst case 3066). NNVs for surgical patients remained favourable at a range of SARS-CoV-2 incidence rates in sensitivity analysis modelling. Globally, prioritizing preoperative vaccination of patients needing elective surgery ahead of the general population could prevent an additional 58 687 (best case 115 007, worst case 20 177) COVID-19-related deaths in 1 year. Conclusion: As global roll out of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination proceeds, patients needing elective surgery should be prioritized ahead of the general population
