Abstract: Introduction: The Kayes health district, with more
than 56 community health centers, has only one URENI (Intensive Nutritional
Recovery and Education Unit). This situation can lead to an overload of work
for the staff and impact on the care of hospitalized patients. It is in this
context that this study was initiated to evaluate the management of patients at
the URENI of the CSRéf. The general objective was to evaluate the management of
malnourished patients at the URENI of the Kayes health center in 2021. The
specific objectives were to describe the management of malnourished children
hospitalized at the Kayes CSRéf; to determine performance indicators.
Methodology: Our study took place at the URENI of the Kayes Reference Health Center. It was a descriptive study based on a retrospective survey from June 28 to August 27, 2021. Our study population consisted of all malnourished patients hospitalized at the URENI of the CSRéf during the study period whose records were found. Results: The sex ratio was in favor of girls, the vast majority of
patients were in the 6-24-month age group, the recovery rate was over 90%.
Difficulties remain in the administration of the measles vaccine and in the
referral of children.
Conclusion: The management of malnutrition at the URENI of the CSRéf is satisfactory in terms of performance indicators. However, a study on client satisfaction is necessary to complete our perspective. |
