RESUMEN
JUSTIFICATION: According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 6.6 million children under the age of five died in 2012 - more than 750 every hour. Most of these children could survive and thrive with access to simple, affordable interventions. The loss of a child is a tragedy - families suffer and human potential is wasted. WHO is improving child health by helping countries deliver integrated, effective care in a continuum, starting with a healthy pregnancy for the mother, through birth and care up to five years of age. Investing in health systems is important to delivering this essential care [1, 2]. GOAL: To study perinatal mortality, this is the most important reason of infant mortality in Mongolia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was conducted reviewing data from 2007-2011 using the ICD code P00-P96 [4] listing “certain conditions originating in the perinatal period”. Data was analyzed using Epi-Info 2000 and GIS software. RESULTS: Data from 2007-2011 showed that 3091 neonates died from conditions originating in the perinatal period and of these 58.7% (1814) were males. Furthermore, the results of this study showed that the leading causes of death were “respiratory and cardiovascular disorders during the perinatal period” (ICD code P20-P29). More specifically, the causes were: - Birth asphyxia (P21) - Respiratory distress of newborn (P22) - Congenital pneumonia (P23) CONCLUSION: National average deaths per 1,000 live births in Mongolia are 9.5—with the highest rates reported in Dornogovi, Uvurkhangai, Bayankhongor, Gobi Altai, Uvs, Zavkhan and Khovsgol.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: One of the confronted problems of health branch of Mongolia is to confirm pregnancy and delivery to health of mother and baby and to decrease early neonatal mortality and stillbirth. Rate of perinatal mortality becomes real index of health and quality of health care. In the world more than 6 million perinatal mortality and 2.6 million stillbirths occur in 1000 birth every year. In Mongolia last year’s birth increases and perinatal mortality hasn’t been decreased yet. By 2013 perinatal mortality of country and aimag 14.4 per 1000 birth, in eastern and khangai and central regions and Ulaanbaatar (UB) city it is fewer than the above mentioned average, but the western region it is 17.5 or 3.1 î/îî higher than average rate. GOAL: To study current situation of perinatal mortality in western region of Mongolia MATERIAL AND METHODS: On the base of statistical dates of perinatal mortality of Health indicators and dates of health authorities of western region of Mongolia in 2004-2013 we considered indications of stillbirth from 22 weeks of gestation and early neonatal mortality by trend criteria. RESULTS: In the period of last 10 years in the western region of Mongolia totally 94810 mothers gave a birth, perinatal mortality is 2347 or 24.7 per 1000 birth. 57.7% of total perinatal mortality is stillbirth and 42.3% is early neonatal mortality. Among 5 aimags of region in Bayn-Ulgii stillbirth is the highest (77.2%), in Gobi-Altai aimag early neonatal mortality is the highest (70.3%). Dates show that perinatal mortality rate is different among western region’s aimags. Trends of Mongolian western region’s perinatal mortality rate till 2016 years will increase in Zavkhan aimag by 8.6, and in Khovd aimag by 0.9; and in other aimags will decrease. CONCLUSION: Although perinatal mortality decreases in western region of Mongolia, it is always higher than average rate of country. Therefore it is necessary to improve quality of antenatal and prenatal care. By doing this trend of increasing and decreasing will become stable and further it will be decreased.
RESUMEN
Introduction: The researchers have identified that shift work of nurses can have a direct impact on health, well-being, performance, and organizational outcomes. In countries with self sustainable and highly developed nursing science it was established that shift duration of hospital nurses lasts for 8 hours, (Gordon, Cleary, Parker, & Czeisler, 1986; Labyak, 2002; Lee, 1992). Thus, it was recognized having importance that day and night shift nurses would have health issues depending on the shift work schedule and it seemed inevitable to perform studies on schedule work performance. Goal: The purpose of the study is to identify impacts on the health of night shift nurses, and identification of strengths and weaknesses of night shift work of nursesObjectives:1. To identify the initiative and work load of shift nurses,2. To identify the impact of shift work to health of shift nurses,3. To identify the strength and weaknesses of shift workMaterials and Methods: The research was performed on the basis of using Questionnaire, Focus group discussion and Checklists. Comparative research was done on the basis of P criteria; P if < Î.05 then it was estimated that possibility is correct. The research was performed through using software such as EXCEL 2007, SPSS.Results: The results of the research and studies are revealed that 28.3% of participants complained about fatigue, 22.5% of participants complained about having sleep disorder, 16.7 % of participants complained about having headaches, while according to the japans studies 21% of participants complained about fatigue, 29% of participants complained about having sleep disorder, 16% of participants complained about having backaches. Conclusions:1. The active conscience of shift nurses were studied and it was concluded that night shift nurses are less active (40%), and experiencing fatigue (53.3%) than day shift nurses. Also, it was observed that 53.3% of participants experienced heavy work load at day shift, while 41.7% of participants in the study experienced high load of work during night shift.2. The studies revealed that 73.35 of night shift nurses are experiencing fatigue, aches, have sleep disorder, headaches, foot aches, and stomachaches. Performing statistical comparison it was revealed that fatigue, aches, have sleep disorder had statistical probability at p< 0.05.3. The strength of night shift is in higher pay rate, which is higher than regular salary rate answered 75 % of participants, day off is longer answered 62.5 % of participants, while 69.2 % of participants answered that are experiencing general fatigue and 56.2 % of participants are having digestion problems.
