Il s'est agi d'une etude prospective, transversale et observationnelle, que nous avons mene sur une periode de six (6) mois de Janvier a Juin 2016. Elle concernait 152 sages-femmes en exercice depuis plus d'un an dans diverses structures sanitaires de Libreville et ses environs, et ayant accepte de repondre au questionnaire. Le questionnaire personnel et anonyme etait reparti en 4 sections. Resultats. Au cours de cette etude, l'âge moyen des sages-femmes interrogees etait de 39,36 ans et plus de 90 % avaient moins de 20 ans d'experience et parmi elles 54% etaient mariees. La definition de l'infertilite du couple etait bien connue des sages-femmes. L'infertilite masculine et les questions relatives aux facteurs de risque d'infertilite feminine etaient mal connues. Les causes d'infertilite feminine etaient relativement bien connues des sages-femmes. La sensibilisation de masse sur l'infertilite n'etait pas dans les habitudes pratiques des sages-femmes et referer aupres du gynecologue en cas d'infertilite confirme, le choix therapeutique preferentiel des sages-femmes. Conclusion. L'infertilite sans cesse croissante, avec son impact sur le plan socio-economique est une affection dont la prise en charge reste mal coordonnee. La sage-femme, prestataire preferentiellement en contact avec la population feminine n'a pas une connaissance suffisante sur l'infertilite en general. ABSTRACT Objective. Evaluate the knowledge of midwives about the couple's infertility and describe their attitudes in current practices. Methodology: It was a prospective, cross sectional and observational study, which was carried out over a period of six (6) months from January to June 2016. It involved 152 midwives practicing for over a year in various health facilities in Libreville and its environs, and having consented to participate in the study. The personal and anonymous questionnaire was divided into 4 sections. Results: In this study, the average age of midwives surveyed was 39.36 years and over 90% had less than 20 years of experience and of these 54% were married. The definition of infertility of the couple was well known to midwives. Male infertility and questions about risk factors for female infertility were poorly understood. Causes of female infertility were relatively well known to midwives. Mass sensitization on infertility was not in the practical habits of midwives and patients were referred to the gynecologist in case of confirmed infertility, the preferred therapeutic choice of midwives. Conclusion. The ever increasing infertility, with its socio-economic impact, is a condition whose management remains poorly coordinated. The midwife, health care provider preferentially in contact with the female population does not have sufficient knowledge about infertility in general. |
