“…This infectious residual risk can be attributed to four factors [2]: 1) technical error, most of the time human; 2) a viral variant not recognized by certain reagents; 3) a seronegative infectious donation in a chronic carrier; 4) a blood donation made in a recently infected individual ("silent window"). In addition to these risks, it may include transfusion errors in hospitals which are important between 1/6000 and 1/30000 [3]. To get under control its means reducing risk and errors ought to redress by behavior of health worker and organizational factors.…”

“…Those reducing factors are important in transfusion safety [4] [5]. Previous studies have shown that knowledge of health care providers was low in blood transfusion [3] [6]. In blood transfusion area in DRC efforts have been made by the establishment of a national policy, the implementation of blood centers in the provinces, and the outline of a quality assurance system.…”

Objective: To assess the knowledge, attitudes and practices of providers in blood transfusion, HIV infections and hepatitis B and C in the province of South Kivu (eastern DRC). Methods: This study is comparative cross-sectional. It covered all the staff care. Our sample was composed by doctors, nurses, midwives, and agents' rapid training in activity in health sector in South Kivu between 1 December 2011 and 30 December 2011. Those medical and paramedical staffs came from 12 general reference hospitals, 11 hospitals and 65 health centers in the province of South Kivu. Three hundred and ninety three people were interviewed including 6.5% of physicians, 87.4% of nurses and 5.1% of midwives. Among them, 25.5% had received training in blood transfusion. Results: Overall, 11.7% of providers responded correctly to questions on knowledge and attitude on blood safety. The proportion of correct answers on the knowledge and attitude on exposure accidents was 53.8%. The frequency of caregivers who responded well to the basics of HIV and hepatitis B and C was 15.5%. Notions about the type of donor blood and the risk of blood transfusion received an overall rating of 17.8% and the proportion of correct answers on the knowledge and practice base of blood transfusion was 16.7%. During the six months following the survey, 54.4% of providers have experienced accidental exposure to blood. Conclusion: The lack of knowledge of the medical staff in transfusion is obvious. We must therefore have the possibility of organizing regular training and follow-up activities.

“…To this end, implementation of transfusion committee in hospitals is more relevant than ever. Unlike Sub-Saharan Africa, many studies have been conducted in developed countries [22][23][24][25] or in Maghreb countries [26][27][28] to assess knowledge and practices (of hospital staff) in medical transfusion practice. These studies have identified shortcomings (regarding knowledge, attitudes and practices) and recommended strengthening training and monitoring or implementation of other appropriate measures (quality assurance, audit.…”

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.
