ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Evaluar la influencia de una intervención educativa sobre el conocimiento, la detección y el manejo de la violencia de pareja íntima (VPI) por parte de matronas. Método: Estudio quasi-experimental donde participaron 158 matronas procedentes de 2 distritos en el estado de Ekiti (Nigeria). La muestra se dividió en grupos: experimental y de control (79 matronas por grupo). Los datos se recogieron mediante un cuestionario y una lista de verificación de observación. Se realizó un programa de capacitación educativa adaptado sobre detección y manejo de la VPI en el grupo experimental. Se realizó una medición antes de la intervención, inmediatamente después y 6 semanas después. Los datos se analizaron utilizando estadística descriptivas e inferenciales (Chi-cuadrado y regresión logística binaria) con un nivel de significancia establecido en p<0,05. Resultados: El conocimiento previo respecto a la detección y el manejo de la VPI entre las matronas en ambos grupos fue deficiente, ya que tan solo el 16,5% del grupo experimental y el 17,7% del grupo control tenían un buen conocimiento en la fase previa a la intervención. El grupo experimental tuvo una mejora significativa en el conocimiento de la detección y el manejo de la VPI, con un 82,1% con buenos conocimientos inmediatamente después de la intervención y un 92,0% a las 6 semanas después de la intervención (p=0,001). La práctica observada de detección y manejo de la VPI obtuvo mejora significativa, pasando de un 21,9% de práctica satisfactoria antes de la intervención, a un 63,5% después de la intervención (p=0,001) en el grupo experimental, no detectándose una mejora apreciable en la práctica en el grupo control (21,9 versus 36,5%; p=0,682). Conclusión: El uso programa de capacitación educativa adaptado mejoró el conocimiento de las matronas y su práctica sobre la detección y el manejo de la violencia de pareja íntima.(AU)


Objective: To assess the influence of an educational intervention on midwives’ knowledge, detection and management of intimate partner violence (IPV). Methods: A quasi-experimental study involving 158 midwives from two districts in Ekiti State, Nigeria. The sample was divided into experimental and control groups (79 midwives per group). Data were collected using a questionnaire and an observation checklist. A customized educational training program on IPV detection and management was conducted in the experimental group. Measurement was performed before the intervention, immediately after and 6 weeks later. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics (Chi-square and binary logistic regression) with a level of significance set at P<.05. Results: Prior knowledge regarding IPV detection and management among midwives in both groups was poor, with only 16.5% of the experimental group and 17.7% of the control group having good knowledge in the pre-intervention phase. The experimental group had a significant improvement in knowledge of IPV screening and management, with 82.1% having good knowledge immediately after the intervention and 92.0% at 6 weeks after the intervention (P=.001). Observed practice of IPV detection and management improved significantly from 21.9% satisfactory practice before the intervention to 63.5% after the intervention (P=.001) in the experimental group, with no appreciable improvement in practice detected in the control group (21.9 versus 36.5%; P=.682). Conclusion: The use of a customized educational training program improved midwives’ knowledge and practice in the detection and management of intimate partner violence.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Objective: Changes in the traditional approaches to prevention, diagnosis, and therapeutic management of breast cancer are becoming increasingly genetically based. It is therefore important for nurses to have competency in underlying biology of carcinogenesis and the molecular rationale underlying strategies to prevent, diagnose, and treat breast cancer. The risk for breast cancer is increased in individuals carrying a mutation in a predisposing gene and in others with a number of affected relatives with early age of disease onset. The authors investigated perception of nurses on the role of genetics in the development of breast cancer. Methods and material: A descriptive quantitative research design was adopted as the research design. The instrument for data collection was an adapted, pre-tested semi-structured, and self-administered questionnaire. Study participants were 187 nurses working at a tertiary health institution in Ekiti State. Data were analyzed and summarized using both descriptive and inferential statistics with level of significance set at P < .05. Results: The mean age of respondents was 39 ± 9.1 years and majority (86.2%) were females and B.Sc. (Bachelor of Science) (53.2%), with more than a decade working experience (62.2%). The study revealed that knowledge of the role of genetics in development of breast cancer was low among respondents with only a few (25.6%) having good knowledge. (AU)


Objetivo: Los cambios de los enfoques tradicionales para la prevención, diagnóstico y manejo terapéutico del cáncer de mama se basan cada vez más en la genética. Por tanto, es importante que las enfermeras adquieran competencia en cuanto a la biología subyacente de la carcinogénesis y el fundamento molecular subyacente a las estrategias para la prevención, diagnóstico y tratamiento del cáncer de mama, cuyo riesgo se incrementa en los individuos portadores de mutaciones en genes predisponentes, y aquellos otros con familiares afectados por la enfermedad, con aparición temprana de la misma. Los autores investigaron la percepción de las enfermeras acera del rol de la genética en el desarrollo del cáncer de mama.Métodos y Material: Se adoptó un diseño de investigación cuantitativo y descriptivo. El instrumento para la recopilación de los datos fue un cuestionario adaptado, probado previamente, semiestructurado y autoadministrado. Participaron en el estudio 187 enfermeras que trabajaban en una institución sanitaria terciaria del Estado de Ekiti. Los datos fueron analizados y resumidos utilizando estadísticas descriptivas e inferenciales con un nivel de significación establecido en p < 0,05.Resultados: La edad media de los respondedores fue de 39 ± 9,1 años, siendo la mayoría mujeres (86,2%) y Licenciadas en Ciencias (53,2%), con más de una década de experiencia (62,2%). El estudio reveló que el conocimiento del papel de la genética en el desarrollo del cáncer de mama fue bajo entre los respondedores, y que solo el 25,6% de ellos tenía un buen conocimiento. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: La mortalidad materna continúa planteando un desafío crítico en la práctica obstétrica, siendo la hemorragia posparto (HPP) una de las principales causas. El objetivo de este estudio fue explorar las experiencias vividas de matronas en relación con el manejo de la HPP. Métodos: El estudio empleó un enfoque fenomenológico cualitativo. Los participantes fueron seleccionados utilizando la técnica de muestreo intencional, reclutándose un total de 15 participantes para el estudio. La recopilación de datos se realizó utilizando una entrevista guiada semiestructurada para entrevistas en profundidad. Las entrevistas fueron grabadas en audio, y el análisis de datos se realizó mediante análisis temático. Resultados: Dos temas emergieron del análisis: 1) prácticas de manejo adoptadas contra la HPP y 2) protocolo hospitalario para el manejo de la HPP. Las principales prácticas de manejo adoptadas por las matronas fueron el uso de uterotónicos, especialmente la oxitocina junto con otras prácticas de manejo como el uso de prendas antichoque, estimulación de las contracciones por frotamiento del útero, evaluación de la causa del sangrado y sutura de laceraciones. También se dedujo que los diferentes centros sanitarios tienen su propia política para el manejo de la HPP. Las barreras que afectan el manejo efectivo de la HPP incluyen la falta de personal, la falta de disponibilidad de instalaciones y equipos adecuados, las restricciones de las enfermeras/parteras en el manejo de la HPP, la política hospitalaria desfavorable y la falta de comunicación entre el equipo de atención sanitaria. Conclusión: Las experiencias de los participantes sugieren que están algo satisfechos con el manejo de la HPP en sus centros. Sin embargo, deben abordarse las barreras como la falta de personal, la falta de disponibilidad de equipos, la mala comunicación entre los equipos...(AU)


Objectives: Maternal mortality continues to pose a critical challenge in obstetric practice, with postpartum haemorrhage as one of the major causes. This study aimed to explore the lived experiences of midwives regarding the management of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). Methods: The study employed a qualitative phenomenological approach. Participants were selected using purposive sampling technique, and 15 participants were recruited for the study. Data collection was done using a semi-structured interview guide for in-depth interviews. The interviews were audio-recorded, and data analysis was done using thematic analysis. Results: Two themes emerged from the analysis, including 1) management practices adopted against PPH and 2) hospital protocol for the management of PPH. The major management practices adopted by the midwives were using uterotonics, especially oxytocin, and other management practices such as anti-shock garments, stimulation of contractions by rubbing the uterus, and assessment of the cause of bleeding and suturing of lacerations. It was also deduced that different healthcare facilities had policies for managing postpartum hemorrhage. Barriers affecting the effective management of PPH were understaffing, unavailability of suitable facilities and equipment, restrictions on nurses/midwives in managing PPH, unfavourable hospital policy and lack of communication among the healthcare team. Conclusion: The participants’ experiences suggest they are somewhat satisfied with PPH management in their facilities. However, barriers such as understaffing, unavailability of equipment, poor communication among healthcare teams and restrictions on nurses in PPH management should be addressed to improve midwives’ experiences in PPH management.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Background: Pregnancy and labour are defining moments in the lives of women. While these are joyful moments for many, some physical and psychological issues have been reported during labour and pregnancy. This study was conducted to explore the coping experiences of Nigerian women during pregnancy and labour. Methods: This is an exploratory qualitative study using the content analysis. The study was conducted from November 2021 to January 2022 in Ekiti State and Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria. In-depth interviews were conducted with 30 women selected using the purposive sampling technique. Data collection was stopped when we reached data saturation. Data were analyzed through content analysis using the NVIVO software version 12. Results: Two themes emerged from the study including coping strategies during pregnancy and trying to endure labour pain. The theme, coping strategies utilized during pregnancy, included obtaining the relatives' experiences, seeking information, religious practices, and engaging in exercise. The theme, trying to endure labour pain, consisted of exercising for pain relief, relying on God, Positive imagination, giving psychological support, and behaving according to the accepted cultural beliefs. Conclusion: Findings suggested that women utilized many non-pharmacological methods for coping. Interventions to support women during pregnancy and labour should consider these strategies during planning and implementation.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: El dolor se califica como un fenómeno subjetivo, sin embargo, casi todas las mujeres reconocen que el dolor de parto es la forma más severa de dolor que una mujer experimenta en su vida. La analgesia obstétrica está infrautilizada en los países en desarrollo debido a mitos y tabúes culturales. Por lo tanto, el presente estudio pretende identificar los conocimientos de las mujeres nigerianas sobre la analgesia del parto y explorar qué mitos y factores dificultan el uso de la analgesia en el parto. Método: En este estudio se adoptó un diseño cuantitativo descriptivo transversal. La población a estudio consistió predominantemente en mujeres embarazadas de la «etnia Yoruba». Se utilizó un cuestionario semiestructurado adaptado para obtener datos de las participantes de los centros de salud seleccionados en el estado de Ekiti, Nigeria. Los datos recogidos se analizaron mediante estadística descriptiva e inferencial y se representaron en forma de tablas y gráficos. El nivel de significación estuvo fijado en p ≤ 0,05. Resultados: Un total de 236 encuestadas fueron incluidas en el estudio (n = 236). Los resultados de este estudio revelaron que las participantes tenían un conocimiento muy pobre de las estrategias de tratamiento del dolor del parto, ya que solo 26,3% conocía las estrategias de tratamiento del dolor utilizadas para aliviar el dolor del parto. Un elevado número de las participantes (56,8%) creía que el dolor del parto no debía aliviarse con el uso de fármacos, estando muy de acuerdo en que la analgesia era «un signo de debilidad» (57,2%). Asimismo, más de la mitad (51,7%) de las participantes temían que el alivio del dolor administrado durante el parto pudiera causar daños al feto. La creencia de que experimentar el dolor del parto completa la maternidad (49,6%), la religión (50,4%) y la cultura (54,5%) se señalaron como factores que influyen en la aceptación de la analgesia del parto entre las participantes.(AU)


Objective: Pain is termed as a subjective phenomenon, however almost all women acknowledge that labor pain is the most severe form of pain a woman experiences in her lifetime. Obstetric analgesia is underutilized in developing countries due to cultural myths and taboos. Hence, the present study aims to identify Nigerian women's knowledge of labor analgesia and to explore what myths and factors hinder with the use of analgesia in labor. Method: A quantitative descriptive cross-sectional design was adopted in this study. The population of the study predominantly consisted of pregnant women from the «Yoruba ethnic group». An adapted semi-structured questionnaire was used to obtain data from participants from selected Health Care Centers in Ekiti state, Nigeria. The collected data was analyzed using a descriptive and inferential statistics and was represented in form of tables and charts with level of significance set at p ≤ 0.05. Results: A total of 236 respondents were included in the study (n = 236). Findings from this study revealed that, the participants showed very poor knowledge on labor pain management strategies, with only 26.3% being aware of pain management strategies used in relieving labor pain. An elevated number of the participants (56.8%) believed that labor pain should not be relieved with the use of drugs, strongly agreeing that analgesia was «a sign ofweakness» (57.2%). Also, more than half (51.7%) of participants had fears that pain relief administered during labor can cause harm to the unborn baby. Belief that experiencing labor pain completes one's motherhood (49.6%), Religion (50.4%) and Culture (54.5%), were reported as factors influencing the uptake/acceptance of labor analgesia among participants.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Globally, higher-than-expected pressure ulcer rates generally are considered a quality-of-care indicator. Nigeria currently has no national guidelines for pressure ulcer risk assessment, prevention, and treatment. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the pressure ulcer knowledge and the attitude of nurses regarding pressure ulcer prevention in a tertiary health institution in Nigeria. During a period of 2 months, nurses were recruited to complete a 25-item paper/pencil survey that included participant demographic information (6 items), pressure ulcer knowledge questions (11 items), and statements on participants' attitude toward pressure ulcer prevention (8 items). Data were entered manually into statistical analysis software, analyzed, and presented using descriptive statistics (frequencies and percentages). The majority of the 90 nurse participants were female (60, 66.7%), 45 (50%) were married, and 75 (83.3%) had 1 to 10 years' experience in nursing practice; 69 (76.7%) had received special training on pressure ulcer prevention. Overall, 58 (64.4%) nurses had correct pressure ulcer knowledge and 67 (74.4%) had a positive attitude toward preventing pressure ulcers. However, 56 nurses (62.2%) disagreed with regular rescreening of patients whom they deemed not at risk of developing pressure ulcer, and 70 (77.8%) believed pressure ulcer prevention should be the joint responsibility of both nurses and relatives of the patients. Thus, the majority of the 90 nurses knew the factors responsible for pressure ulcers and how to prevent them, but nurses need to be orientated to the fact that pressure ulcer risk screening of all patients with limited mobility is an integral part of their job and that it is important that nurses enlighten patients and their relatives on how to prevent pressure ulcers.
