Knowledge, attitudes and practices of nurses's regarding mother-baby friendly initiative in non-accredited primary healthcare facilities of Makhuduthamaga Sub-District in Limpopo ProvinceMgolozeli, Siyabulela Eric 18 September 2017 (has links)
MCur / Department of Advanced Nursing Science / Background: The Mother-Baby Friendly Initiative (MBFI) promotes and supports
breastfeeding in environments such as clinics, community health centres and
hospitals that have fully-functioning maternity units. The implementation of the
Mother-Baby Friendly Initiative in hospitals is associated with significant increases
in the initiation and duration of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF). The Mother-Baby
Friendly Initiative also leads to improved healthcare for infants, children and
provides improved maternal health to all mothers. The main aim of this study was
to assess the knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) of nurses regarding the
Mother-Baby Friendly Initiative in non-accredited primary healthcare (PHC)
facilities of Makhuduthamaga Sub-district.
Method: Descriptive, cross-sectional and correlational study designs were used
with the quantitative method. All the 18 non-accredited primary healthcare
facilities were purposively selected and a total sampling method was used to
select all the nurses working in these non-accredited primary healthcare facilities.
Permission to conduct the study was sought from the University of Venda
Research Ethics Committee and the Limpopo Department of Health Research
Committee. Data was collected using a structured self-administered
questionnaire. Content and face validity were enhanced before the actual data
collection process. One hundred and ninety questionnaires were distributed and
164 responded, giving a response rate of 86.3%. Cronbach’s alpha test
determined the reliability and reflected 0.981, indicating high reliability. Data was
analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 23.0 and the
Pearson coefficient of correlation established the relationship between variables.
The study followed ethical considerations such as privacy, autonomy,
confidentiality, fair treatment and right to self-determination.
Results: In this study, 50.6% were professional nurses (PNs), 6.7% were nursing
managers (NMs), 15.2% were enrolled nurses (ENs) and 27.4% were enrolled
nursing assistants (ENAs). This study found that 100% of NMs, 65.1% of PNs,
54.2% of ENs and 26.7% of ENAs had received formal training on lactation
management. Seventy-two percent (72%) of NMs, 90.4% of PNs, 72% of ENs
vii
and 66.7% of ENAs were knowledgeable about the duration of exclusive
breastfeeding. This analysis found that the majority of nurses agreed that MBFI
increases breastfeeding rates. Results showed that 63.6% of NMs, 69.6% of PNs,
56% of ENs and 46.7% of ENAs teach and demonstrate hand-milk expression to
breastfeeding mothers. Furthermore, this research revealed that there was a
significant relationship between the knowledge, attitudes and practices of nurses
with a p-value of (p-00.01).
Recommendations and Conclusion: This study recommends that all nurses
should receive formal training on MBFI implementation and this should be
conducted to improve ENs and ENAs’ awareness about MBFI. MBFI should be
integrated into the training curriculum for all nursing categories. This study further
recommends that a support model for implementation of MBFI be developed and
implemented.

Problems in providing primary health care services : Limpopo ProvinceBaloyi, Lynette Fanisa 11 1900 (has links)
A quantitative, descriptive, explorative design was applied to study the problems that hindered the Primary Health Care (PHC) nurses in rendering quality health care in the health facilities in Limpopo province South Africa. The sample consisted of 53 PHC nurses who completed a pre-tested questionnaire which covered various aspects related to the provision of quality PHC services. The data were analysed by computer using SPSS version 15 soft ware. The findings revealed that most of the problems could be attributed to financial constraints, poor budgeting, and shortage of staff to manage large number of patients, lack of enough support from other professional staff, unreliable referral systems and communication networks. PHC nurses work under difficult conditions and often have to improvise to care for patients, but unless more funds are allocated to rural health care facilities and these problems are addressed, more nurses will work under difficult circumstances. / Health Studies / M.A. (Health Studies)

Professional nurses' and student nurses' perceptions of clinical supervision in training hospitals of Limpopo Province: South AfricaMathevula, Rirhandzu Friddah 20 September 2019 (has links)
PhDH / Department of Advanced Nursing Science / Introduction and background
Professional nurses are responsible to supervise student nurses in the clinical areas in order to assist them in achieving the learning outcomes, develop clinical skills and competence; however, this role is overlooked as pinned to different factors influencing clinical supervision, including the related challenges regarding supervision. This study aimed to explore and describe professional nurses’ and student nurses’ perceptions of clinical supervision in training hospitals of Limpopo Province, South Africa.
Research methodology
The study used convergent parallel mixed methods design. The population in this study was professional nurses and student nurses working in seven training hospitals of Mopani and Vhembe district of Limpopo Province. Purposive sampling was used to sample districts, hospitals and student nurses whereas, convenience sampling was used to sample professional nurses. Self-administered questionnaires and focus group interviews were used in data collection. Quantitative data was
v
analysed using Statistical Package of Social Science (SPSS), version 22.0 and Tesch’s’ method was used to analyse qualitative data.
Findings
Perceptions of professional nurses and student nurses revealed several factors influencing supervision and challenges such as staff shortages, high number of student nurses allocated in clinical areas, heavy workload, inadequate material resources, poor communication and inadequate support. The findings were used in formulation of clinical supervision guidelines.
Recommendations
The recommendations of this study were based on the study findings. Intervention on the challenges of clinical supervision is recommended by utilisation of the formulated guidelines. This will assist in closing the existing gap regarding clinical supervision. / NRF
