Improvement of Injection Safety in Burkina Faso, JF. Aguilera, J. Fitzner, A. Yaméogo, Y. Hutin

Kane et al, Injection Safety: A World-wide Challenge 12 billion injections –95% therapeutics and 5% vaccinations Injection-Associated infections –HBV: 8-16 million –HCV: million –HIV: 80,000 to 160,000 Years of Life lost: 26 million Direct medical cost: $ 535 million Kane A. et al, Bulletin of the WHO, 1999

AFRO Logistics Project (1995)

SIGN Initiative Initial Assessment –Standardised methodology –Structured sampling –Adequate sample size Implementation of a New Approach –Behaviour change –Equipment and supplies –Sharps waste management

Survey in Burkina Faso, June 2000 >Objectives –Estimate the frequency of unsafe injection practices in Burkina Faso –Pilot test the WHO/SIGN standardised tool

Study Design Cross-sectional study Two stage cluster sampling – 8 districts, probability of selection proportional to population size – 10 health centres, simple random sampling

Standardised Data collection –Direct observations forms Supplies of injection equipment Injections observation (max 3 / centre) –Standardised Questionnaire to HCWs Analysis –Design Effects using CSAMPLE –Confidence Interval using EPITABLE

Results 80 health centres visited 80/80 centres had a nearby pharmacy were patients could buy new disposable equipment In 52 centres, 116 injections were observed 50/52 centres used new disposable equipment 5/80 centres additionally used sterilisable equipment

Hazard to Patients at 52 Centres

Hazard to Healthcare Workers

Hazard to Community in 80 Centres

Limitations Replacement of 13 (16%) of selected centres because of inaccessibility No assessment of quality-assurance of different brands of new disposable equipment used in centres Injections observed in 52/80 centres

Conclusions Improvement of injection practices –Increased use of sterile disposable injection equipment between 1995 and 2000 Some areas still require improvement: –Re-use of disposable equipment –Two-handed recapping –Vaccines supplied without boxes/equipment –Use of safety boxes for sharps is uncommon –Sharps disposable unsafe

Recommendations Behaviour change –Eradicate re-use of disposable equipment –Prevent two-handed re-capping –Heightening staff awareness on waste disposal Equipment and supplies –Ensure supplies of vaccines through “bundling” –Facilitate community supply of sharp boxes Sharps waste management –Development of a national policy addressing medical waste disposal

Recommended changes to the Standardised Tool Optimise the survey time frame –Timing eg. season –Standardisation / Briefing / Debriefing Adapt observation forms / questionnaires Increase the observation of injections –Injection simulation could be organised Improve the logistics –Reaching remote centres
