Adolescents learn to cope with changes while concerned with stress, anxiety, social experience and academic
achievement. The nurses have an important role to help the adolescent to reduce anxiety by art therapy. The
aim of the study is to assess the effectiveness of art therapy on examination anxiety among adolescents in
selected colleges at Kanyakumari District. Materials and Methods: Quantitative approach was adopted for the
study. Quasi experimental pre-test post-test control group design was adopted. The sample size consisted of
60 adolescents, 30 in experimental group and 30 in control group. The conceptual frame work is based on Von
Bertalanffy`s general system model. Purposive sampling technique was adopted. The tool used for data
collection procedures was Beck Anxiety Inventory. Art therapy was given for one hour twice a week for 3
weeks. Result: The findings showed that in experimental group 76.6% of adolescents had severe anxiety. After
providing art therapy, 3.33% had severe anxiety. The mean post-test level of anxiety score among adolescents
in experimental group was less than the mean pre-test anxiety among adolescents in control group.

ABSTRACT:
Introduction: Covid-19 is a pandemic that doesn’t require any further introduction as currently, the entire world is
passing through a tough fight against the infection. Mortality among patients becomes more complicated to treat
with available resources. Vaccines have played a tremendous role in preventing further complications.
Methodology: A Retrospective, observational, comparative study to observe safety and efficacy of Fabiflu Plus
Doxycycline- Ivermectin Versus Doxycycline-Ivermectin in Covid-19 Patients on an OPD basis. The sample size
was 50 were 25 for each group of treatment. The study was designed to compare the effect of treatment on
oxygen saturation and inflammatory markers in participants. The secondary objectives were to compare the
effectiveness of the intervention on clinical parameters in participants. Results and discussion: All the participants
recovered well, there were no patients who progressed towards mortality. There was a significant reduction in CRP
level in a group that received favipiravir plus ivermectin and doxycycline. The oxygen saturation and haemoglobin
level remain sustained in both groups. Conclusion: Both group participants had sustained oxygen saturation and
no one progressed to mortality. The effect of favipiravir with ivermectin and doxycycline combination requires
prospective evaluation in a larger sample size. Furthermore, consideration of the standard of care, and monitoring
more laboratory parameters post completion of the study to evaluate safety and efficacy
