Saraswati Group of Colleges was established in the year 2023. SGC, Mohali is recognised by the Indian Nursing Council (INC) New Delhi and the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE). Saraswati Group of Colleges, Mohali offers courses in various specialisations.

Vijay Kumar, an M.Sc Nursing student at Saraswati Group of Colleges, has achieved a significant milestone in healthcare research with the publication of his study in the prestigious Journal of Education and Health Promotion. His research, titled "Exploring the Therapeutic Potential of Epsom Salt Bath on Pain and Intensity of Knee Osteoarthritis," delves into the effectiveness of Epsom salt therapy as a non-invasive method for managing osteoarthritis pain.

Knee osteoarthritis is a prevalent condition that affects millions worldwide, causing chronic pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. While conventional treatments primarily focus on medication and physical therapy, Vijay’s research investigates a natural alternative that could provide relief without side effects. His study examines how Epsom salt baths, known for their magnesium-rich composition, can help alleviate pain and improve joint function in osteoarthritis patients. The findings contribute valuable insights to the ongoing exploration of non-pharmacological pain management strategies in modern healthcare.

Expressing his excitement over this achievement, Vijay credited his mentors and institution for their continuous guidance and encouragement. “This research is deeply personal to me, as I have seen many patients struggle with joint pain. Exploring a simple, accessible therapy like Epsom salt baths could open new doors for pain management,” he said.

The publication of his research highlights Saraswati Group of Colleges’ dedication to fostering academic excellence and promoting innovation in healthcare. The institution has consistently encouraged students to engage in meaningful research that can impact real-world healthcare practices. Vijay’s accomplishment serves as a motivation for fellow nursing students, emphasising the importance of scientific inquiry in advancing patient care.

With young researchers like Vijay Kumar making strides in healthcare innovation, the future of nursing science looks promising. His work stands as a testament to the power of dedication, curiosity, and the pursuit of knowledge in transforming the medical landscape.
