In developing countries or economies in transition, many people die because of lack of safe blood, even in some urban healthcare facilities. Blood transfusions can save lives and improve health, but millions of patients did not timely access to safe blood, due to no reliable blood donors. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of hepatitis B in blood donors from the Sendwe General Provincial Hospital. This is a retrospective cross-sectional descriptive study on serum markers of hepatitis B study taking place over a period of 12 months from 1 January to 31 December 2014. This study showed that the prevalence of hepatitis B was 6.8%, and 78.7% of donors were male. The mean age was 34.1 ± 7.4 years, ranging from 18 to 57 years. Married, family donors, blood type O and Rh positive were the most represented with 81.1%, 68.6%, 58.8% and 99.3% respectively. A significant association was observed between the prevalence of hepatitis B and age, civil status of blood donors (p ≤ 0.001). These results should encourage health authorities to the implementation of effective prevention methods to stop the rapid spread of this infection, which is a serious public health problem.
The use of plants in our immediate environment in primary health care in Africa and especially among the poor, is a very common practice. Our study aimed to determine the profile and frequency of pregnant using medicinal plants; and to identify medicinal plants most frequently used during pregnancy. We have done a descriptive cross-sectional study, conducted for up March 2014 to June 2014, on a sample of 400 pregnant women who consulted health centers of the city Kipushi during prenatal consultations. Of a total of 400 pregnant consulted during the investigation period, 30% or 7.5% used medicinal plants, 46.67% had an age between 26 and 30 years, the majority of pregnant or 56.67% had a secondary consideration; 13 pregnant using medicinal plants is 43.33% were multiparous pregnant while 10, 33.33% were large multiparous pregnant 12% or 40% were married and 9% or 30% of pregnant were single. The Birsocorpus orientaris was the most used plants in pregnant or 16.67% of pregnant monitoring and Uapaca kirkiana, Ficus capensis or 13.33% and 10% of these used the pregnant Thespesia garckeana, Hibiscus cannabinus or Liposes. These results provide the basis for subsequent studies to experimentally evaluate the potential of these plants. This will make available for women in labor, new substances of natural origin.
Teaching aims to introduce the learner to the realities of social and professional life. In the context of vocational education, these learning activities are confined to two interacting poles, namely learning in a school situation (simulation) and that in a clinical situation, that is to say next to the patient. The general objective of this study was to raise the awareness of nursing supervisors to improve the quality of the supervision they offer to trainee students in their professional circles in order to overcome this challenge. We used a prospective, cross-sectional descriptive study conducted at the university clinics in Lubumbashi. The study found that 54% of the trainees were female, 46% male; 47.3% were between 21 and 25 years old and 24.3% between 31 and 35 years of age; The attitude of the Trainees towards the trainee supervisors was distrustful in 36% of the cases and Positive in 27%; Indifferent in 26% of cases. In relation to the quality of the supervision, 38% of the students found this to be of poor quality and 39% said that the quality was good. The supervision of students seems to be a real challenge for all the care management of an institution and for the educational institution that sent these trainees. The commitment of all is necessary to carry out this mission of supervision of internstudents.
