INTRODUCTION: Le burn out est considere comme un processus qui se developpe dans le temps, debute avec l´epuisement emotionnel et se continue avec la depersonnalisation et la diminution de la realisation. METHODES: Il s´agit d´une etude quantitative, transversale, descriptive et analytique realisee a partir d´une enquete menee aupres des sages-femmes. L´enquete a dure 1 mois (15 juillet 2019 a 15 Aout 2019). Elle a ete menee dans 4 maternites universitaires de grand Tunis. Nous avons utilise le questionnaire : le Maslach Burn out Inventory (MBI). Notre objectif principal est de determiner la prevalence des taux de burn out chez une population de sages-femmes exercant dans des maternites de niveau trois du grand Tunis. L´objectif secondaire est de chercher les facteurs de risques associes au burn out severe. RESULTATS: Notre etude a ete realisee aupres de 90 sages-femmes. Elle a demontre que le burn out est une situation bien reelle et alarmante. Nous avons constate que 86,7% des sages-femmes interrogees avaient un burn out. Plus en details, l´epuisement emotionnel est eleve chez 50% des cas, la depersonnalisation est elevee chez 47,8% et l´accomplissement personnel est bas chez 14,40% d´entre elles. Les facteurs associes significativement au burn out severe sont : le celibat, l´anciennete <20 ans, la surcharge de travail elevee, la distance lointaine entre le domicile et le lieu du travail, le regret du choix du metier, l´insatisfaction des horaires de travail et de l´organisation global de travail, le mauvais climat professionnel, la presence de stress professionnel, la contraction de maladie professionnelle, les accidents de travail et le developpement de conduites addictives. CONCLUSION: Suite a ses resultats alarmantes, il serait urgent de proposer des mesures de prevention, de depistage et de prise en charge des sages-femmes touchees par ce syndrome ou a risque. Une formation bien approfondit en matiere de gestion de stress doit etre integrer dans le cursus universitaire. La prevention et le traitement de l´epuisement professionnel auront certainement un impact important en termes de qualite de vie et par consequent en termes de qualite des soins fournis.

INTRODUCTION: Antibiotic overprescribing is associated with antibiotic resistance worldwide but worst in developing nations. Minimal information exists on the antibiotic prescribing habits of essentially all cadres of healthcare workers in Nigeria, but particularly primary healthcare (PHC) workers. Our aim was to explore antibiotic prescribing habits of Nigerian primary healthcare workers in the context of increasing antibiotic resistance which has a direct effect on healthcare associated infections (HCAIs) and patient safety worldwide. METHODS: a questionnaire-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 442 primary healthcare workers across three Northern Nigerian states of Gombe, Sokoto and Kwara. Data obtained was analysed using SPSS version 20. RESULTS: antibiotic prescription rate was 98.2%. The most commonly prescribed antibiotics were amoxicillin (71.7%) and ampicillin/cloxacillin (70.1%) while the least was meropenem (4.1%). Major indicators of antibiotics abuse include unconfirmed typhoid fever (96.1%), non-specific vaginal discharge (95.4%), fresh trauma wound (91.3%), non-specific diarrhoea (87.1%) and common cold (85.9%). Additionally, about one-third of the respondents also routinely prescribe antibiotics to healthy birds (31.5%) and animals (18.3%). Identified reasons attributed to antibiotic overprescribing from the participants´ perspectives include lack of awareness (87.0%), lack of penalty (79.4%), desire to help patients (76.5%), pressure from sales representatives (61.0%) and patients´ pressure (58.3%). Overall, majority (85.8%) of respondents agrees that overprescribing is a cause of antimicrobial resistance. CONCLUSION: overprescribing of antibiotics is common among PHC workers and could contribute significantly to the rising scourge of antimicrobial resistance and poses a threat to patient safety and associated increased burden of HCAIs.

INTRODUCTION: Febrile convulsion is one of the most common form of convulsion among children and one of the most common causes of hospital admissions in children under five years of age. There is paucity of data on the study of febrile convulsion in Ghana and especially, the northern part of Ghana. Aim: the study assessed parental knowledge, beliefs, and first-aid practice regarding febrile convulsion at a tertiary health facility in the northern region of Ghana. METHODS: this was a cross-sectional descriptive hospital-based study involving 100 parents whose children were admitted with previous history of febrile convulsion. They were sampled purposively. A questionnaire was used to collect data from the parents at the children´s emergency and paediatric wards of the Tamale Teaching Hospital from 1st October 2018 to 31st December 2018. The Data was then analyzed using SPSS version 23.0. RESULTS: majority (95%) of the parents had heard about febrile convulsion and especially from family members. Overall good knowledge score was 59.0%. About (71.0%) identified the presentation of febrile convulsion as twitching of the face and stiffening of the neck. Furthermore, 87% belief that febrile convulsion is caused by high body temperature. Majority (69%) of the parents bathed their children with cold water as a first aid measure of febrile convulsion. Multivariate analysis showed that the belief witchcraft could cause convulsion, type of first aid intervention given and intervention given after first aid were all associated with parental knowledge of febrile convulsion (χ2=4.05, p=0.044), (χ2=9.52, p=0.021) and (χ2=6.45, p=0.040) respectively. CONCLUSION: the study revealed that parents had substantial idea about febrile convulsions. That notwithstanding, most of their first aid management yielded no positive outcome. Again, it is worth mentioning that some parents resorted to cultural practices in treating convulsions at home, such as smearing ground garlic on the bodies of their children during a convulsive episode in order to abort it. Others attributed the cause of it to supernatural powers and witchcraft.
