ABSTRACT

This study aimed to present the survival of patients with malignant and paramalignant pleural effusion (MPE) in a context of resource-limited countries. We retrospectively studied patients received for malignant and paramalignant pleural effusion in three health facilities in Ouagadougou from 1st August 2009 to 30 July 2015. Survival was analyzed according to various characteristics related to patients and disease. Eighty patients with a mean age of 54 years were selected. The sex-ratio was 0.9. Sixteen patients had comorbidities. Pleural effusion was revealing, synchronous and metachronous in respectively 55 %, 26.3 % and 17.5 % of cases. Lung cancer was the most common cause of MPE (27.5 %), followed by breast cancer (18.7 %). The median overall survival was 3 months; it varied between primary cancers: 5 months for primary cancer unknown, 4 months for lung cancers and 2 months for breast cancers. Sex and the presence of comorbidities were independent factors influencing survival of patients. In this study, patient survival length is strongly compromised by inadequacies of medical technical equipment.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: In Burkina Faso, the insufficiency of doctoral interns, of endocrinologists, and medical services specialized in the coverage of the diabetes, means that these cases are relegated to general practitioners and the paramedical staff. OBJECTIVES: To study the level of knowledge, attitudes and practices of the medical and paramedical staff on the coverage of sugar diabetes in the Souro Sanou University Hospital of Bobo Dioulasso. METHOD: A cross-sectional study of descriptive type was conducted over a 3 month period, from March 1st to May 31st, 2013. The investigated population was constituted of healthcare professionals represented by general practitioners, female nurses, State-certified male nurses, and patented male nurses of the Souro Sanou University Hospital of Bobo Dioulasso. A questionnaire, adapted for each professional category, was administered to the participants. A notation grid enabled us to record the level of knowledge, attitude and practice of the staff regarding sugar induced diabetes. RESULTS: Three hundred four (304) healthcare professionals, 187 men and 117 women (sex ratio of 1.59) were investigated. The average age was of 40.84 years with extremes of 26 and 60 years. Their level of knowledge, attitude and practice on sugar induced diabetes varied from one professional category to another. Clinical signs of the disease, as well as its physiopathology were well known by healthcare providers. However, the definition of the disease, its diagnostic criteria, its classification by cause, were little known general practitioners. The general practitioners, had a good attitude and practice in front of a case of diabetes compared to other professional categories. CONCLUSION: Adapted staff recycling is essential across the professional categories for healthcare providers of the university hospital.


INTRODUCTION: Au Burkina Faso, l'insuffisance de médecins internistes, d'endocrinologues, et des services médicaux spécialisés dans la prise en charge du diabète sucré, font que les médecins généralistes et le personnel paramédical sont relégués au premier. OBJECTIFS: Etudier le niveau de connaissances, attitudes et pratiques du personnel médical et paramédical sur la prise en charge du diabète sucré au CHU SS de Bobo Dioulasso. MÉTHODE: Il s'est agi d'une étude transversale de type descriptif, déroulée sur trois (03) mois, du 1er mars au 31 mai 2013. La population enquêtée était constituée de professionnels de santé représentés par les médecins généralistes, les attachés de santé, les infirmiers diplômés d'état, les sages-femmes/maïeuticiens d'état, les infirmiers brevetés du CHU SS de Bobo Dioulasso. Un questionnaire a été administré au personnel consentant adaptée à la catégorie professionnelle. Une grille de notation a permis d'apprécier le niveau de connaissance, d'attitude et de pratique du personnel en matière de diabète sucré. RÉSULTATS: Trois cent quatre (304) agents de santé dont 187 hommes (sex ratio = 1,59) ont été enquêtés. Leur moyenne d'âge était de 40,84 ans avec des extrêmes de 26 et 60 ans. Leur niveau de connaissance, d'attitude et de pratique sur le diabète sucré était variable d'une catégorie professionnelle à une autre. Ainsi, les signes cliniques de la maladie, ainsi que sa physiopathologie étaient bien connus par les agents de santé. Cependant, la définition de la maladie, ses critères diagnostiques, sa classification étiologique, étaient peu connus des médecins généralistes. Les médecins généralistes, avaient une bonne attitude et pratique devant un cas de diabète sucré par rapport aux autres catégories professionnelles. CONCLUSION: Des besoins de recyclage du personnel adapté aux catégories professionneles s'avèrent indispensables pour les agents de santé du CHU SS.
