Facteurs de risque et prise en charge de la rupture utérine dans une structure de 1ere référence du Mali: cas du district sanitaire de Bougouni / Risk factors and management of uterine rupture in a 1st reference structure in Mali: case of the Bougouni health district

L'objectif était d'évaluer les facteurs de risque de la RU et de proposer les aspects thérapeutiques. Matériels et méthodes : Nous avons réalisé une étude cas-témoins au centre de santé de Référence de Bougouni en 2019. Résultats : De janvier au 31 décembre 2019; sur 1161 accouchements 43 RU ont été enregistrées soit 3,7% correspondant à une RU pour 27 accouchements. Les patientes de 35 ans et plus ont été plus touchée par la RU (44,2%) avec ORaIC95%= 6,3 [1,5 - 26,3]. Les évacuations obstétricales avaient un ORaIC95%=25,6 [7,8- 83,7]. La totalité des patientes étaient des femmes au foyer (97,7%) des cas versus (82,3%) des témoins avec ORaIC95%= 8,9 (1,1-69). Les Paucipares et multipares avaient respectivement un ORaIC95%= 6,2 [1,8 - 20,3] et 4,1[1,3 - 12,9]. La cicatrice utérine (20,9%) des cas contre 8,1 % les témoins avait un ORaIC95%= 2,9 [1,1 - 8,7]. En effet l'absence de CPN étaient un facteur de risque, ORaIC95%= 3,0 [1,3 ­ 6,9]. Le délai de la RU était ˂ 6 heures chez 95%. En effet 34 RU complètes (79,1%) et 9 RU incomplètes (20,9%) ont été notées. Seulement 2,3 % des cas avaient accouché par voie basse. Le traitement de la RU reposait sur la chirurgie (100%) complétée par celui du choc (51,2%) des cas et de l'infection (100%) des cas. Conclusion: La RU est fréquente dans nos pays sous médicalisés. Sa prévention efficace passe par des stratégies visant à agir sur les facteurs de risque

The objective was to assess the risk factors for and to suggest therapeutic aspects. Materials and methods: We carried out a case-control study at the Bougouni Reference health center in 2019. Results: From January to December 31, 2019; out of 1161 deliveries, 43 uterine rupture were recorded, 3.7% corresponding to one uterine rupture for 27 deliveries. Patients 35 years and older were more affected by uterine rupture (44.2%) with ORaIC95% = 6.3 [1.5 - 26.3]. Obstetric evacuations had an ORaIC95% = 25.6 [7.8-83.7]. All of the patients were housewives (97.7%) versus (82.3%) controls with ORaIC95% = 8.9 (1.1-69). Pauciparous and multiparous had an ORaIC95% = 6.2 [1.8 - 20.3] and 4.1 [1.3 - 12.9], respectively. The uterine scar (20.9%) of cases versus 8.1% of controls had a 95% ORaIC95% = 2.9 [1.1 - 8.7]. Indeed the absence of ANC was a risk factor, ORaIC95% = 3.0 [1.3 - 6.9]. The time to uterine rupture was ˂ 6 hours in 95%. In fact 34 complete uterine rupture (79.1%) and 9 incomplete uterine rupture (20.9) were noted. Only 2.3% of cases gave birth vaginally. Treatment of uterine rupture was based on surgery (100%) supplemented by shock (51.2%) of cases and infection (100%) of cases. Conclusion: Uterine rupture is common in our countries under medical care. Its effective prevention involves strategies aimed at acting on risk factors.

Progression of anaemia during antenatal period among South African pregnant women

Background: Anaemia in pregnancy is a known public health problem in South Africa. Maternal, perinatal morbidity and mortality are known to be associated with anaemia in pregnancy. Very little is known from literature with regards to the progression of anaemia during the antenatal period of pregnancy. Objectives: To estimate haemoglobin levels, the prevalence and determinants of anaemia at different gestational ages and to show the trend. Method: A retrospective cohort (follow-up) study was conducted using the antenatal clinic register. Prevalence rates of anaemia (haemoglobin < 11 g/dl) at different gestational ages were measured. Factors associated with anaemia were assessed using chisquare test and stepwise multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results: A total of 801 pregnant women were enrolled at the booking visit and followed-up during their antenatal period. The prevalence of anaemia at the booking visit was 37%. The prevalence of anaemia at 20, 26, 32 and 36 weeks of gestation were 36.6%, 39.6%, 39.8% and 29.2% respectively. Binary logistic regression at the booking visit showed that teenage women were 2.5 times more likely to have anaemia (OR=2.5, p=0.005) than older women. Women who booked during the first trimester were 60% less likely to have anaemia (OR= 0.40, P=0.005) at the booking visit and 62% less likely to be anaemic at 36 weeks of gestation (OR=0.38, p=0.013) compared to those who booked late for antenatal care. Conclusion: Prevalence of anaemia during pregnancy was high. Early booking for antenatal care was a predictor for lower rate of anaemia. Thus, health education strategy should be encouraged for early antenatal booking

Effects of Trait Anger and Anger Expression on Job Satisfaction and Burnout in Preceptor Nurses and Newly Graduated Nurses: A Dyadic Analysis

PURPOSE: The preceptorenewly graduated nurse (NGN) relationship is integral to the successful experience of clinical teaching and learning and new nurses' transition. However, interpersonal conflicts between them are common. Little is known whether their anger contributes to their level of job satisfaction and burnout. This study aimed to examine the effects of each nurse's anger on job satisfaction and burnout in preceptoreNGN dyads.METHODS: A cross-sectional, correlational survey design was used. This study involved 121 preceptor enewly graduate nurse dyads in two hospitals in South Korea. Nurses completed a questionnaire about demographics, the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory-Korean version, a job satisfaction measure, and the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory. This study adopted the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model to handle dyadic data.RESULTS: Preceptor nurses reported higher frequencies of feeling anger than did new nurses and appear to have higher levels of trait anger, anger-out, and burnout. Both the preceptors' and NGNs' trait anger was positively associated with preceptors' burnout. Suppressing anger was closely related to the nurses' own job satisfaction and burnout. Preceptors with a higher level of anger-control had higher job satisfaction, and NGNs with a higher level of anger-control had less burnout.CONCLUSION: The results indicate that preceptors and new nurses appear to experience significant anger, which is closely associated with their job satisfaction and burnout during their preceptorship. Anger management training programs geared toward educating both preceptors and new nurses about appropriate anger expression in the workplace should be developed to retain valuable nurses.

Cognitive-behavioral group therapy for intermittent explosive disorder: description and preliminary analysis

Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of a group therapy based on cognitive-behavioral techniques customized for intermittent explosive disorder (IED). The current report presents the preliminary results of a clinical trial comparing pre- and post-intervention scores in different anger dimensions. Methods: The studied sample consisted of 84 treatment-seeking subjects. The mean (standard deviation) age was 43.0 (11.9) years, and 78% were male. The therapeutic group program consisted of 15 weekly sessions plus three maintenance sessions. The sessions lasted approximately 90 minutes each. Results: No differences were found in demographic profile and pre-treatment status between subjects who completed treatment (n=59) and dropouts (n=25). Comparison of State-Trait Anger Expression Scale (STAXI) scores pre- and post-treatment showed statistically significant changes in all anger scales and subscales of the questionnaire. Conclusion: This preliminary report is a significant addition to currently scarce clinical data. Our findings provide further evidence that structured cognitive-behavioral group therapy, with a focus on anger management and cognitive coping, may be a promising approach to the treatment of IED.

The Mediating Effects of Social Support and a Grateful Disposition on the Relationship between Life Stress and Anger in Korean Nursing Students

PURPOSE: Anger management is a very important issue for nursing education. However, there is a lack of research identifying related factors. This study examined the mediating effects of social support and a grateful disposition on the relationship between life stress and anger in nursing students. METHODS: The participants were 172 nursing students recruited from two universities in cities in South Korea. Baron and Kenny's regression method and the Sobel test were used to analyze the mediating effects of social support and a grateful disposition on the association between life stress and anger. RESULTS: There were significant correlations between life stress, social support, a grateful disposition, and anger. In addition, social support and a grateful disposition exerted full mediating effects on the relationship between life stress and anger. CONCLUSION: Based on this study's results, enhancing social support and grateful disposition could help nursing students who experience anger resulting from life stress to manage their anger effectively. This finding suggests that, as specific strategies for anger management, nursing educators should encourage nursing students to use sources of social support and to engage in various gratitude activities.

Evaluación preliminar de un programa para parejas no casadas que han presentado malos tratos / Preliminary evaluation of a program for unmarried couples that have presented abuse

El objetivo de esta investigación fue efectuar una evaluación preliminar de un programa de tratamiento dirigido a parejas jóvenes no casadas que han presentado malos tratos en su relación, el cual contemplaba el mejoramiento de las habilidades de comunicación, empatía y manejo de la ira, entre otros componentes implementados desde el enfoque de terapia y modificación del comportamiento. Se utilizó un diseño pretest-postest de un solo grupo, con la participación de cuatro parejas heterosexuales entre 17 y 22 años de edad (X = 20 años; DX = 1,89 años). Los efectos se evaluaron a través del STAXI II, el ASPA (Cuestionario de Aserción en la Pareja), una escala de actitudes hacia la violencia íntima, un cuestionario de satisfacción con el programa y una lista de chequeo de experiencias de maltrato en la pareja. Los resultados evidenciaron decrementos postratamiento significativos en la frecuencia de malos tratos, en la ira como estado y en las actitudes hacia la violencia, así como una buena satisfacción con el programa. Se proponen ajustes en los contenidos del mismo, de cara a la realización de un ensayo clínico controlado.

The objective of this research was to conduct a preliminary evaluation of a treatment aimed at unmarried young couples who have had abuse in their relationship. The program included improving communication skills, empathy and anger management, among other components, under a behavior therapy perspective. A pretest-posttest one-group design was used, with the participation of four heterosexual couples between 17 and 22 years (X=20 years, DX=1.89 years). The effects were evaluated through the staxi ii, the Assertion Questionnaire in the Couple, a scale of attitudes toward intimate violence, a program satisfaction questionnaire, and a checklist of experiences of partner abuse. The results showed significant post-treatment decreases on the frequency of abuse, attitudes toward intimate violence, and anger as a state, and a good satisfaction with the program. Adjustments in the contents of the program for the achievement of a controlled clinical trial are proposed.
