Abstract

Introduction: Haemophilia is a rare inherited bleeding disorder that affects predominantly male because it is an X chromosome linked disorder. The severity of the disease is determined by the percentage of Factors VIII and IX activity in the individuals with Haemophilia. Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the extent of haemophilia care in the southwestern part of Nigeria. This forms part of a nationwide survey in 2016, focusing especially on whether or not physicians in specific hospitals in the states in south west had ever managed a haemophiliac. Methods: A self-administered questionnaire titled “Survey on Haemophilia Care in Nigeria” was developed for physicians in order to assess their experience on Haemophilia care in Nigeria. The responses from the Doctors were entered into SPSS (version 23) using the Data Dictionary (on survey of haemophilia) coded table prepared along with the questionnaire. Results: The self-administered questionnaires were retrieved from 215 physicians in south west, Nigeria. Most of the respondents are from Oyo state, no respondent from both Osun and Ondo states. Also, about two-thirds of the respondents work in a teaching hospital, with majority having Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) as the highest qualification. Conclusion: The care of haemophiliacs in the south western part of Nigeria needs to be standardized as the study showed that most physicians have no contact with Haemophiliacs.

尼日利亚西南部医生对血友病护理的反应

简介:血友病是一种罕见的遗传性出血性疾病，主要影响男性，因为它是一种X染色体相关疾病。疾病的严重程度是由血友病患者体内因子VIII和因子IX活性的百分比决定的。目的:本研究的目的是确定尼日利亚西南部血友病护理的程度。这是2016年一项全国性调查的一部分，特别关注西南部各州特定医院的医生是否曾治疗过血友病患者。方法:为医生制定了一份题为“尼日利亚血友病护理调查”的自我管理问卷，以评估他们在尼日利亚血友病护理方面的经验。医生的回答使用数据词典(血友病调查)编码表与问卷一起输入SPSS(第23版)。结果:对尼日利亚西南部215名医生进行问卷调查。大多数受访者来自Oyo州，没有来自Osun和Ondo州的受访者。此外，约三分之二的受访者在教学医院工作，其中大多数人拥有医学学士、外科学士(MBBS)的最高资格。结论:尼日利亚西南部血友病患者的护理需要标准化，因为研究表明大多数医生没有接触血友病患者。

期刊介绍： The SEAMEO* Regional Tropical Medicine and Public Health Project was established in 1967 to help improve the health and standard of living of the peoples of Southeast Asia by pooling manpower resources of the participating SEAMEO member countries in a cooperative endeavor to develop and upgrade the research and training capabilities of the existing facilities in these countries. By promoting effective regional cooperation among the participating national centers, it is hoped to minimize waste in duplication of programs and activities. In 1992 the Project was renamed the SEAMEO Regional Tropical Medicine and Public Health Network.
