“…The proportion of subjects who received training in blood transfusion (22.2%) in our study is comparable to that (29.1%) recorded in Mali in 2010 [13] and the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2011 (25.5%) [17] in relatively similar surveys. Unlike Diakité et al [13] and similarly to Kabinda et al [17], the results of our study showed that the quality of responses was better among prescribers who received training in blood transfusion.…”

“…Unlike Diakité et al [13] and similarly to Kabinda et al [17], the results of our study showed that the quality of responses was better among prescribers who received training in blood transfusion. Thus, as already shown by Tramalloni et al [18], transfusion practice in hospitals could be improved if training is widely provided/strengthened to blood prescribers.…”

Aim of the study. -The lack of traceability and monitoring of blood donors and transfused patients constitute a barrier to the most basic rules of haemovigilance and overall good transfusion practices. This study draws up an inventory of knowledge, attitudes and clinical practice of blood prescribers in Niamey. Materials and methods. -A questionnaire was administered to 180 prescribers of blood products in Niamey in 2011. Questions were related to basic informations on blood transfusion and clinical use of blood. Analyses were performed using SAS 9.3 version.Results. -The sample consisted of 180 respondents from several professional categories: 51 physicians (28.33%), 10 medical students (5.56%), 84 nurses (46.67%), 15 anaesthesiologist assistant (8.33%) and 20 midwives (11.11%). Among these, 22.2% received training in blood transfusion safety. Half of the respondents (50.8%) got between 50 and 75% of correct answers, 45.8% got less than 50% correct while 3.35% scored more than 75% correct answers. The overall quality of responses was higher among physicians compared to other prescribers (P < 0.0001); among respondents who received training in transfusion safety (P < 0.0001); and among males (P = 0.0306). For some items, subjects with more experience scored the best. Conclusion. -The level of knowledge is still inadequate. More training in transfusion practices is necessary for prescribers of blood products. Accompanying measures to improve transfusion practice must be considered or strengthened through assessments, knowledge update/upgrade (regular, ongoing training) and establishment of active and motivated hospital transfusion committees. © 2015 Elsevier Masson SAS.

Mayaki et al. / Transfusion Clinique et Biologique 23 (2016) 78-85 79 Conclusion. -Le niveau des connaissances étant insuffisant, des formations en transfusion sont nécessaires pour les prescripteurs de produits sanguins. Des mesures d'accompagnement devraient être envisagées ou renforcées au moyen d'évaluations, de remises à niveau (formation continue), et par la mise en place de comités hospitaliers de transfusion actifs et motivés.

“…A study conducted in Mali in 2008 indicated that BTS staff was mainly composed of laboratory personnel [28]. Another study conducted in 2012 in the same country and assessing NBTS staff knowledge in blood transfusion revealed that 70Á9% members of staff were not trained in transfusion medicine [32]. This observation highlights the need to develop and subsequently implement structured training and education programmes for BTS staff.…”

Background Availability and accessibility to safe blood is challenging in Africa. The 2014 report of the World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Office indicates that in 2010, 43 African countries with a population of 813,806,984 collected only 3, 486, 192 units of blood. In West African Countries, home of 340,000,000 inhabitants, the donation rate ranges from 2Á4& to 7Á2&. Only few countries have well established national blood systems. It is in this context that the Ebola Viral Disease (EVD) outbreak started in March 2014. Aim The aim of this study was to describe the status of blood transfusion services (BTSs) in West Africa in general and particularly in Ebola affected countries, and to analyze their capacity to respond to blood needs during the crisis. Methods Publications, reports and updates posted on websites were reviewed and analyzed to determine whether blood services were equipped to face EVD outbreak. Results Overall, EVD cases were diagnosed in Guinea, Liberia, Mali, Nigeria, Senegal and Sierra Leone. The number of cases increased dramatically to reach 27,952 reported confirmed, probable and suspected cases, with 11,284 reported deaths by 12 August 2015. Of 16 West African countries, only 6 had well established BTSs. The three most affected countries lacked basic infrastructures, equipment and staff. With the EVD crisis BTSs were disrupted with substantial drop in blood donations Conclusions BTSs in West Africa and particularly in the three Ebola-affected countries were poorly equipped, uncoordinated and unable to provide safe blood to respond effectively and in timely manner to emergency situations, and to provide Convalescent Plasma for clinical trials.

During COVID-19 pandemic, many doctors were redirected from various disciplines for care of COVID-19 patients. A survey was conducted among doctors involved, to assess transfusion practices during the pandemic. To assess the knowledge, attitude, and practices of blood transfusion among doctors involved in care of COVID-19 patients. A cross-sectional survey using an online questionnaire (Google form) was used to assess knowledge and need of transfusion, attitude towards modifications in transfusion process, and practices during pandemic. Analysis was done among subgroups based on experience (designation), user type (speciality) and frequency of blood usage in parent department. Of 1900 invitations, 437 responses were received from resident doctors and faculty members across various disciplines. Of these, 354(81%) participants were included in analysis. Mean knowledge score was 6.2, majority 297(83.9%) had adequate knowledge scores (≥ 5 of total 12). Knowledge levels were higher among frequent blood users. Positive attitude towards changes in transfusion process was observed in 72.9% participants with similar scores in subgroups. Practice was assessed in 222(62.7%) participants. Mean practice score was 6.9, wherein 57.7% participants had optimal scores (≥ 7 of total 14). Positive correlation was observed between attitude and practice, unlike knowledge and practice. Although most participants had demonstrated adequate transfusion knowledge levels and positive attitude, transfusion practices during pandemic were affected mainly due to shortage of blood components and modifications in transfusion requisition process due to stringent COVID-19 containment measures. Thus, indicating need for improvement in the basic understanding of the transfusion process. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12288-022-01613-2.
