In Zambia, at Kabwe Central Hospital, burn trauma is one of the commonest causes of trauma admissions in surgical wards. To mitigate the trend, Ministry of Health distributed infection prevention and control guidelines and emphasized on the need to manage all patients with burns in accordance with national guidelines. Main Objective: To assess the level of compliance with Burns treatment protocol by nurses at Kabwe Central Hospital. Materials and Methods: A cross sectional study design was used in the study. A self-administered questionnaire was used to obtain data from 60 nurses and 55 nurses observed using an observational checklist. Convenient sampling was used to recruit nurses for the study. Results: Findings showed that observed compliance to burns treatment protocol is very low and stood at 51%. This was despite high knowledge, good management support and positive attitudes expressed by the majority nurses. This can be attributed to rare availability of most medical surgical supplies at the institution. Conclusion and Recommendations: The findings suggests the need of the hospital to improve on the supply of resources to the burns units as most nurses reported resource inadequacy in the management of burns. There is also need of building an ideal burns unit.","PeriodicalId":131219,"journal":{"name":"EAS Journal of Nursing and Midwifery","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135469919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The symptoms of PTB can appear gradually and vary in severity. Malnutrition, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDs), age (young and old), diabetes mellitus, substance abuse, low socioeconomic status, malignancies, and or overcrowding are some of the common risk factors for PTB. According to the Zambia Demographic Health Survey (ZDHS, 2021), Zambia’s prevalence rate of PTB stood at 455 cases per 100,000 population. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended Direct Observation of Treatment (DOT) by a trained supervisor (WHO, 2019). However, implementing DOT in Zambia is challenging for both the patient and healthcare provider as it has been observed that a daily visit to a health facility for the first two months by PTB patients was very difficult for a range of reasons which included severe illness at the initiation of treatment, distance too far for walking, and high transportation costs. Objective: The study aimed at determining Factors Influencing Adherence to Pulmonary Tuberculosis Treatment among Adult PTB Patients at St Francis’ Hospital-Katete, Zambia. Methods and materials: Data was collected using a questionnaire and the study sample was one hundred (100) Adult PTB patients, who were selected by simple random sampling method. A quantitative descriptive cross-sectional study design was used. Data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21. Chi-square test was used to determine the relationship between independent and dependent variables. Conclusion: The study revealed a significant association between ‘level of information and knowledge, individual motivational support, behavioural skill’ and ‘Adult PTB patients’ adherence to PTB treatment’.

In spite of this, the ministry of health (MoH) has continued advocating for the use of the partograph in preventing negative birth outcomes. Nevertheless, most available research nationally and internationaly show that it is unclear whether there is a relationship between utilisation of the partograph and birth outcomes. Objective: The study aimed at investigating the relationship between utilisation of the partograph and birth outcomes. Methods and Materials: A cross-sectional quantitative study design was used. The systematic random sampling was used to select 183 partographs and convenience sampling was used to select 20 midwives. The materials used were self-administered questionnaire/ partograph checklists, Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22 and the Chi square test. Results: The study has indicated that use of the partograph in monitoring women in labour has the potential to influence birth outcome which could be appropriate or inappropriate. The cross tabulation showed no correlation between utilisation of the partograph birth outcomes as most partographs with bad utilisation still had a p value of 0.045. Conclusion: There is no relationship between utilisation of the partograph and birth outcomes.","PeriodicalId":131219,"journal":{"name":"EAS Journal of Nursing and Midwifery","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126955846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their presence in the implementation of case management is expected to have a beneficial impact. The program is also expected to benefit the hospital in a variety of ways, specifically in terms of patient service management related to more cost-effective services. Objective: This research aims to explore the experience of case managers in carrying out case management at Langsa City General Hospital (RSUD), which has been operational since June 2019. Methods: This research adopted a qualitative design with a descriptive phenomenological approach. From a total of seven individuals on duty, five case managers from the nursing profession were included in the population. The remaining two are medical professionals and refused to participate. Data were collected by conducting interviews, observations, and documentation. Results: The results showed that case managers are still in the honeymoon phase, with their services focused on the collaboration gap and overlapping roles. Conclusion: Almost all case managers feel that their work experience has not been fully implemented in accordance with the work program. They have to adapt to new tasks and receive some training related to the implementation of case management in hospitals.","PeriodicalId":131219,"journal":{"name":"EAS Journal of Nursing and Midwifery","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133575365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The SBL is based on implementing scenarios. The stages of a clinical scenario include briefing, action and debriefing. Briefing includes information to guide trainees on the scenario and the objectives. The training of participants in the clinical scenarios begins under the supervision of the instructors which is referred to as action. After each scenario, a debriefing takes place to provide immediate feedback on participants and their performance. Finally, an assessment of the trainees’ attitudes, skills and knowledge, is provided. The skills developed during simulation training are knowledge of algorithms, learning clinical skills and handling emergency situations, developing ethical values and decision-making, self-confidence and competence, communication with the patient and the colleagues, teamwork and leadership, patient safety and finally the satisfaction of being part of a multidisciplinary team. It is highly recommended that simulation is incorporated into midwifery curricula because it combines theory with practice and the development of specialized clinical skills to handle complex situations and get ready for future midwifery care.","PeriodicalId":131219,"journal":{"name":"EAS Journal of Nursing and Midwifery","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135111165","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data presented in this paper are part of a cross-sectional descriptive and retrospective formative qualitative study among women who have sex with women conducted in Dar-es-Salaam region. Researchers used focus group discussion, in-depth interviewing, observation and collecting women’s life stories to generated data needed for this study. Women who have sex with women in Dar-es-Salaam come from all backgrounds and experience unique primary and specialized healthcare needs different from their counterparts. Social and legal strictures against homosexuality coupled with widespread heteronormativity put women who have sex with women at risk of overt or covert stigma and discrimination in the healthcare system. Illegal status of homosexuality in this country shapes differentiated health seeking behaviors and pathways among sexually minority women. Healthcare providers are reported discriminating and stigmatizing transgender men and tomboys forcing them to avoid vising public health facilities.
