Abstract:
Introduction: An increase for oral health care uptakes in Tanzanian through currentsurge of health insurance establishments has placed adult individuals to seek for orthodonticcare which was nonexistent at their adolescent age. However, prevalence of malocclusion andmagnitude of orthodontic treatment needs not known in Tanzanian adults. This study aimed tosurvey on the prevalence of malocclusion and objective orthodontic treatment needs among theadult population in Tanzania. Study Design: Survey study. Setting: Conducted at KilimanjaroChristian Medical Centre Teaching Hospital, Moshi, Tanzania. Period: January to April in2014. Subjects and methods: A population of 217 nursing student at Kilimanjaro ChristianMedical Centre Teaching Hospital in Moshi, Tanzania were involved for clinical examinationof malocclusion traits. The traits were registered according to the criteria developed by Bjork,Krebs and Solow in 1964. Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI) was used to determine orthodontictreatment needs in this group of Tanzanian adults. Data for malocclusion traits were analyzedusing Statistical Package for Social Sciences. The Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) wasused to determine intra-examiner reliability of the discrete variables of Bjork criteria and DAIcomponents. ICC value classification was based on those developed by Landis and Koch in1977. The intra-examiner reliability by ICC in our study was almost perfect (ICC=0.895-1.000).Results: The overall prevalence of malocclusion was 94.4%. Angle’s Class II and Class IIImalocclusion occurred in 12.9% and 6.7% respectively of the studied population. Aplasia orimpacted teeth excluding the last molar occurred in 8.4% of the students. Deep bites occurredin 7% and frontal open bites in 9.3% of the students studied respectively. Crowding in both jawswere found in almost half of the students with more crowding in mandibular incisors. Midlinedisplacement was registered in 38.8% of the students. The populations mean DAI score was27.7 (8.64 ±SD). About 51% of the students had either no need or slight orthodontic treatments.About 49% were found with orthodontic treatment needs ranging from elective, highly desirableto mandatory. Conclusion: The current findings showed presence of malocclusion traits in thispopulation with tendency for some of the traits to increase in severity compared to the findingsin the adolescents studied previously in Tanzania. Higher overall prevalence of malocclusionaccording to Bjork criteria in this population corresponded with considerable orthodontictreatment needs assessed by DAI scores.

Abstract:
There is an increased call for improving the environment in which nursing students learn the clinical skills. Clinical practice in the clinical placement sites should allow students to apply their theoretical knowledge in a real environment, develop nursing skills and clinical reasoning, and observe and adapt the professional role. This study aimed at identifying the factors influencing performance in clinical practice among preservice diploma nursing students in Northern Tanzania. This study relied on a cross-sectional analysis of data collected from nursing schools in Northern Tanzania in which 208 (123 nursing students and 85 nurse tutors) participants were recruited in the study. Data was gathered using a self-administered questionnaire which collected information on sociodemographic characteristics and factors influencing clinical practice categorized in students’ factors, hospital based factors, social-economic factors, and nurse tutors opinions assessed. Descriptive analyses and chi-square test were employed to understand the background information of the sample and association between variables. Majority of the nursing students (84.4%) agreed that clinical placement offers students adequate opportunity for clinical practical learning. Barriers to effective clinical learning was reported by 70.1% of the participants and the barriers include student factors such as lack of self-confidence and absenteeism, school factors such as improper supervision, and poor preparation of clinical instructors or clinical facility factors. We found a significant association between type of barrier and gender (chi-square 0.786, p=0.020). More male nursing students (62.1%) significantly reported unsupportive environment as a barrier and anxiety was more common in female nursing students (48.9%) (p=0.020). Reporting of barriers to effective clinical learning by students from different schools of nursing was not significant (P=0.696). In addition, age of participants did not have significant association with effective clinical practice (p=0.606). Student’s factors and placement based factors played an important role to influence clinical learning experiences. Offering preclinical orientation, distributing and clarifying clinical learning objectives to students, and frequent visits and supervision of students in clinical area may improve student learning experience in clinical placement. In addition, tailoring the interventions to gender may improve learning experiences.

Ekvall, Klara. "Nursing care for patients with burns in Tanzania." Thesis, Röda Korsets Högskola, 2010. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:rkh:diva-86.

Abstract:
Burns are common in low- and middle income countrie ssuch asTarzania and firerelated deaths are numerous in Africa compared to high income countries in Europe. The nurse's primary professional responsibility is to require nursing care to people. Nursing care for burned patients is important and demands knowledge. Nurses in Tanzania experience difficulties in their daily work in terms of heavy workload and lack of material. Transcultural nursing aims to see care, health and illness from a cultural perspective and the goal is to provide competent care to people in different cultures. The purpose of the study was to illuminate how nurses in Tanzania take care of patients with burns.The study was implemented at the hospital Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre in Moshi,Tanzania. A qualitative method was used;participating observations of nine nurses were carried out. The field notes were analyzed by content analysis and gradually two themes appeared; preventing infections and meeting the patient.The conclusion was that nursing care meant collaboration with the relatives, a calm and low stress atmosphere and concems about the patients' integrity. Difficulties experienced in the nurse's daily work were lack of time and material, but despite this the nurses wanted to improve the care of the burned patients in order to reduce the risk of infection. An interesting finding was that normally no contact was created between the nurse and the patient. Overall the lasting impression was that nursing care must be seen and understood in the cultural context.

Full text
Abstract:
Female genital mutilation (FGM) has been illegal in Tanzania since 1998; nonetheless this procedure is still being performed in some regions of the country. Since the prohibition of this practice it has become harder to detect the practitioners. Nurses are one of the professions who can identify the women who have been exposed to FGM, which creates an opportunity to provide care for these women and educate them about the practice. The aim of this study is to describe Tanzanian nursing students’ views on FGM. Data was collected with focus group interviews with second and third year students at a nursing school in northwest Tanzania. Data was analysed inductively by content analysis. The results, the students’ views on FGM, were categorised into four themes; ‘FGM creates suffering’, ‘the right to sexual integrity’, ‘the role of nurses’ and ‘educating the patient and the community’. The findings clearly demonstrate that the students’ negative attitudes toward the practice are based on their knowledge of its harmful implications on health. For further research, it may be of interest to study nursing students’ views of the practice in more FGM-prevalent regions of Tanzania.

Abstract:

Hygien spelar en viktig roll inom hälso- och sjukvården och i arbetet att förebygga smittspridning. Nightingale är en föregångare som talade om effekterna av korrekt handhygien och ren vårdmiljö. I svensk sjuksköterskeutbildning har hygien en central del, som det diskuteras mycket kring. Hälsoorganisationer över hela världen har utarbetat olika riktlinjer kring hygienens betydelse i vården, ändå visar tidigare forskning på brister i följsamhet. Syftet med studien var att belysa sjukhusmiljön med avseende på vårdhygien vid ett sjukhus i Tanzania. En kvalitativ metod med deltagande observationer valdes. Datainsamlingen pågick under fyra veckor, där studenter från en sjuksköterskeskola observerades. Studien diskuterar möjligheter och hinder för vårdhygien, där resultatet presenteras i sju olika teman. Resultatet visar att kunskapen om vårdhygien var stor bland studenterna i Tanzania, men resurser var ett stort problem. Även om kunskap och rutiner fanns, efterföljdes dessa på varierande sätt, i den kultur och tradition som finns i Tanzania.


Hygiene has a very important role within healthcare and the prevention of spreading diseases. Nightingale was among the first who talked about the effect of proper hand hygiene and a clean environment. Hygiene has a central part within the education at nursing schools in Sweden and is well discussed. Healthcare organizations all over the world have developed different guidelines about the importance of hygiene within healthcare, but research still indicates poor compliance. The aim of this study was to illustrate hygiene within healthcare at a hospital in Tanzania. A qualitative method with an observational study was chosen. The data collection was made during four weeks, observing students from a nursing school in Tanzania. This study discusses the potentials and the disadvantages of hygiene within healthcare. The result is presented in seven different themes and indicates good knowledge about hygiene among the Tanzanian students, but poor resources and lack of supplies caused a big problem. It appeared that the healthcare and how the hygiene was managed within the culture and tradition, which existed in Tanzania, have differences even though knowledge and routines exists.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Enligt Tanzanias regering är ett av de första stegen för att uppnå målet om hälsa till alla, att tillse åtkomsten av tillräckligt med sjukvårdspersonal, med resurser nog att genomföra arbete av kvalité. För tillfället är dessa mål inte uppfyllda, och situationen är värre på landsbygden. På grund av bristen på professionell sjukvårdspersonal, speciellt i geografiskt avlägsna områden i Tanzania, måste sjuksköterskor ibland arbeta över sin utbildningsnivå. Syfte: Syftet var att utforska omvårdnadspersonals erfarenheter av att arbeta på landsbygden i Tanzania. Metod: En kvalitativ intervjustudie, baserad på sex semistrukturerade intervjuer med omvårdnadspersonal som arbetar på landsbygden. Textmaterialet analyserades genom en tematisk innehållsanalys. Resultat: Fem kategorier uppkom: Arbetssituationen, visar att omvårdnadspersonalen klarar att erbjuda all service genom att arbeta över sin utbildningsnivå. Tillgång till resurser, påvisar brist på personal, faciliteter, utrustning och medicin. Personalens mentalitet, visar att omvårdnadspersonalen var glad trots att de gav upp sitt privatliv för att jobba där. Landsbygdspopulation, beskrivs med att de besitter mindre kunskap om hälsa. Boendesituation, påvisar att omvårdnadspersonalen efterfrågade en plats nära arbetet att bo på. Konklusion: Omvårdnadspersonalen var nöjd med deras arbete på landsbygden i Tanzania, trots att de mötte svårigheter. De kunde ge all service på grund av att de kunde utföra varandras sysslor och arbetade då över sin4utbildningsnivå. Det kan argumenteras för att detta arbetssätt inte svarar för en säker och evidensbaserad sjukvård.
Background: According to the government in Tanzania, one of the first steps to achieve the goal of health is to ensure access to health care workers with enough resources and capacity to deliver quality care. Today these goals are not reached, and the situation is worse in rural areas. Due to the lack of professional health care workers in Tanzania, especially in geographic remote areas, nursing staff have to perform beyond their formal education level. Aim: The aim was to explore nursing staff’s experience regarding working in rural Tanzania. Method: A qualitative interview study design was used, based on eight semi-structured interviews with nursing staff working in rural areas in Tanzania. The data were analyzed by using thematic content analysis. Result: Five categories emerged: Working situation, which demonstrates how nursing staff manage to provide all the services through working beyond their education level. Access to resources, which indicates lack of staff, facilities, equipment and medicine. Staff mentality, which demonstrates that the nursing staff were happy, although giving up their personal life to work there. Rural population, which was described as a population with less knowledge about health. Living conditions, which showed that all nursing staff requested a place to stay close to the dispensary. Conclusion: The nursing staff was satisfied with their work in rural Tanzania, yet they faced difficulties. They could still provide all services, mainly by handling different tasks and by working over their formal level. It is arguable that this is not corresponding to a safe and evidence based healthcare.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This research study aims at enhancing the utilisation of primary mental health care services in Dodoma, Tanzania. Primary health care (PHC) according to the Alma Ata conference 1948 is an essential part of the health care system for bringing health care closer to where people live and work, is people-centred, affordable and achieves better health outcomes, and is considered to contribute to communities’ social and economical development. PHC facilities in Tanzania are health centres and dispensaries, which are within five kilometres from where people live. In the 1980s’ countries integrated mental health into PHC to improve the mental health status of their people. To facilitate delivery of Primary Mental Health Care (PMHC), Tanzania has formulated a mental health policy and trained PHC workers on mental health. Despite of these efforts, people still go to referral hospitals for mental health care services. However, authors commented that “when comprehensive primary health is implemented fully” it will bring about security, safety and hope to people and therefore, they will continue to fend for health for all. The main aim was to explore and describe why people go to referral hospitals instead of utilising PMHC services closer to them. A qualitative descriptive clinical ethnographic research design was employed to examine the mental health care-giving within the context of this research. Purposive non-probability sampling was utilised. Sample size was determined by the saturation. Data collection methods were in two phases. Phase one was participative observation on mental health care-giving in the Primary Health Care (PHC) facilities for a period of at least four weeks, and phase two was by use of an in-depth interview with family members at referral hospitals who had passed Primary Health Care facilities. Data analysis was an open thematic coding. Trustworthiness of the research was established through credibility, dependability, conformability, triangulation and a thick description. The findings of this research suggested that there is inadequate service delivery at PHC facilities, disrespect of patients and lack of knowledge on available services and on referral systems, which led to not utilising the available Primary Mental Health Care services. In conclusion the researcher expresses the recommendations of this research in the form of strategies.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie navorsing is daarop gemik om die gebruik van primêre geestesgesondheidsorg dienste in Dodoma, Tanzanië te bevorder. Volgens die Alma Ata verklaring van 1948 is primêre gesondheid sorg (PGS) ʼn noodsaaklike deel van die gesondheidsorg stelsel ten einde gesondheidsorg nader na mense werkplek en tuistes te neem. PGS is persoons-gesentreerd, bekostigbaar en het beter gesondheids resultate, dit word aanvaar dat PGS bydra tot die sosiale en ekonomoiese ontwikkeling van gemeenskappe. PGS fasiliteite in Tanzanië is hoofsaaklik gesondheidsentra en apteke, wat binne ʼn radius van vyf kilometere vanaf mense se woninigs is. Gedurende die 1980’s het lande geestesgesondheid integreer in die PGS stelsel in ’n poging om die geestesgesondheidstatus van mense te verbeter. Ten einde die lewering van primêre geestesgesondheid sorg (PGGS) te verbeter het Tanzanië ʼn geestesgesondheidsbeleid geformuleer en primêre gesondheidsorg werkers opgelei in geestesgesondheidsorg. As omvattende primêre gesondheidsorg ten volle implementeer is sal dit bydra tot sekuriteit, veiligheid en hoop en mense sal aanhou veg vir ”gesondheid vir almal”. Die hoofdoel van hierdie navorsingstudie was ʼn ondersoek en beskrywing ten opsigte van die redes waarom mense eerder verwysings hospitale as PGS fasiliteite nader aan hulle besoek. Die navorser het gebruik gemaak van ʼn kwalitatiewe, beskrywende kliniese etnografiese studie ten einde geestesgesondheidsorglewering te ondersoek binne die konteks van hierdie studie. Die navorser het doelgerigte nie-waarskynlikheids steekproefneming gebruik en die versadigingsvlak is bereik deur middel van data-saturasie. Data is tydens twee fases ingesamel. Fase een was gekenmerk deur deelnemende observasie ten opsigte van geestesgesondheidsorg lewering in ʼn PGS fassiliteite. Tydens fase twee het die navorser in-diepte onderhoude gevoer met famililede van die persoon wat eerder die verwysings hospitaal as PGS fasiliteit besoek het. Data analise is gedoen deur tematiese, kwalitatiewe kodering te gebruik. Betroubaarheid van die navorsing is verkry deur middel van vertrouenswaardigheid, eerbaarheid, triangulasie en in-diepte beskrywing. Die bevindings van hierdie navorsings studie suggereer die teenwoordigheid van ondoeltreffende diens lewering by PGS fasiliteite, onrespekvolle hantering van pasiënte en gebrekkige kennis rondom die beskikbare dienste en verwyssings stelsel in plek, derhalwe maak pasiënte eerder gebruik van die verwysings hospitale. Gevolglik beveel die navorser aan dat strategieë gebasseer op die resultate van hierdie navorsings geïmplementeer word.

Abstract:
Background: Wounds have existed at all times and have always been feared because of the risk of infection leading to prolonged bed rest, and risk of complications such as amputation and even in some cases death. Pressure ulcers are included in the group of secondary healing wounds, which means that they heal from the inside only after that the wound is filled by granulation tissue. As a nurse one of the main work assignments is to promote health and care by showing professional liability to meet the patient's needs. In this study, the focus will be to describe the challenges for nurses in Tanzania in preventing and early detection of pressure ulcers. Aim: To describe the challenges for nurses in Tanzania in preventing and early detection of pressure ulcers Method: A descriptive qualitative design was chosen for this study as the aim was to explore nurses’ experiences of preventing and early detection of pressure ulcers. A qualitative design is most suitable when the researcher seeks to understand the phenomenon under study. Results: There were indeed challenges for the nurses in preventing and early detect pressure ulcers. The findings could be divided into three sub-themes: a) Structural challenges and varying educational level among health care personnel, b) Insufficient resources – challenges and strategies, and c) Patients unable to pay for health care Discussion: The discussion addressed that education is one of the main strategies for preventing pressure ulcers and is not always a financial issue. Understaffed wards and patients that are not able to pay for healthcare are factors that are ongoing issues at a hospital financed by the government. It also addresses the frustration some nurses expressed towards the problem and often felt helpless concerning patients health.

Abstract:
Background: Tanzania is a low-income country where many people struggle to afford health care. Previous research on emergency health care in Tanzania shows that there are limited resources when it comes to both education in emergency care and acute care equipment. Furthermore, there is limited information concerning experiences from nurses working with emergency care under these conditions. Aim: The aim of this study was to examine the Tanzanian nurses’ experience of caring for patients with life threatening conditions at a hospital in a small community. Method: The study has a qualitative design with a semi-structured interview method where six registered nurses with experience of caring for patients who suffers from life threatening conditions at the Bagamoyo District Hospital in Tanzania were interviewed. The interview transcriptions where analyzed with a qualitative content analysis method described by Granheim and Lundman (2004). Results: The result shows that the nurses works in an environment where recourses are limited and how they have found alternative ways to provide care under the given circumstances. It reveals how the nurses’ cope with these situations, their emotional challenges and how they manage feelings that comes from caring for patients with life threatening conditions under the prevailing circumstances. Discussion: The result was discussed in relation to Roy’s adaption theory where the main focus was on the human being and its ability to adapt in order to maintain health and quality of life while interacting with a changing environment.
Bakgrund: Tanzania är ett utvecklingsland där många människor har svårt att bekosta sjukvård. Tidigare forskning rörande akutsjukvård i Tanzania visar att det finns en brist på utbildning och utrustning inom akutsjukvården. Det finns få studier som undersöker sjuksköterskans erfarenheter från att arbeta med akutsjukvård under de bristande förhållandena. Utifrån detta väcktes ett intresse för att utforska sjuksköterskans upplevelser utav att vårda patienter i livshotande tillstånd under dessa bristfälliga förhållanden. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att utforska den Tanzanianska sjuksköterskans upplevelser av att vårda patienter i livshotande tillstånd på ett sjukhus i ett litet samhälle. Metod: Studien har en kvalitativ utformning med semistrukturerade intervjuer. Intervjuer hölls med sex sjuksköterskor som arbetar på Bagamoyo District Hospital i Tanzania med erfarenhet av att vårda patienter i livshotande tillstånd. Intervjuerna transkriberades och bearbetades enligt en kvalitativ innehållsanalys som beskriven utav Granheim och Lundman (2004). Resultat: Resultatet visade att sjuksköterskorna arbetar i en miljö där resurser saknas och hur de funnit alternativa vägar för att kunna ge omvårdnad trots detta. Resultatet visar också att sjuksköterskorna ställs inför känslomässiga utmaningar och hur de hanterar känslorna som uppkommer då de vårdar patienter i livshotande tillstånd under bristfälliga förhållanden. Diskussion: Resultatet diskuterades i relation till Roys adaptionsteori med tyngdpunkt på människan och dess förmåga att adaptera för att upprätthålla hälsa och livskvalitet i en föränderlig miljö.

Abstract:
Background: Insertion of a peripheral intravenous catheter (PVC) is a common procedure performed by nurses. The practical skill is a complex act, which not only requires theoretical and practical knowledge, but also nursing care adjusted to each patient's history and needs. Aim: The aim was to explore the procedure of inserting a peripheral intravenous catheter at a local hospital in Tanzania with focus on nursing care and patient safety. Method: The study was performed as a non-participating observational study and was preceded by a pilot study performed in Sweden. Eight observations were made, which were analysed with a qualitative content analysis. Result: The categories “Execution” and “Respecting patients” with associated sub-categories constituted the results. “Execution” describes how the procedure is performed, while “Respecting patients,” explains the performed nursing care during the practical skill. Conclusion: The Model of Practical Skill Performance was used for interpreting and discussing the result. The model clarified that some components were not fulfilled and the performance can therefore not be considered as well proceeded. One can discuss whether it depends on lack of knowledge, resources and/or culture. Keywords: Peripheral intravenous catheter, nursing care, patient safety, Tanzania, low-income country.
Bakgrund: Insättning av perifer venkateter (PVK) är en vanligt förekommande uppgift för sjuksköterskor. Denna praktiska färdighet kan anses vara komplex, då den inte bara kräver teoretisk och praktisk kunskap, utan också omvårdnad anpassad efter varje patients behov och tidigare erfarenheter. Syfte: Syftet var att undersöka tillvägagångssättet vid insättning av perifer venkateter på ett lokalt sjukhus i Tanzania, med fokus på omvårdnad och patientsäkerhet. Metod: Studien utfördes som en icke-deltagande observationsstudie och föregicks av en pilotstudie utförd i Sverige. Åtta observationer genomfördes som sedan analyserades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Kategorierna “Utförande” och “Respektera patienter” med tillhörande underkategorier utgjorde resultatet. ”Utförande” beskriver tillvägagångssättet vid insättnig av PVK, samt förberedelser och slutförande. “Respektera patienter” beskriver den givna omvårdnaden under det det praktiska utförandet. Konklusion: Modellen för praktisk färdighetsutövande användes för att tolka och diskutera resultatet. Modellen klargjorde att några komponenter inte uppfylldes och utförandet kan därmed inte anses som väl utfört. Det kan diskuteras om detta beror på bristande kunskap, resurser och/eller kultur. Nyckelord: Perifer venkateter, omvårdnad, patientsäkerhet, Tanzania, låginkomstland.

Abstract:
Some cultures regard pain as a natural part of life compared with the Western culture which believes that pain is something unnatural and that has to be eliminated. Transcultural nursing is a way to learn about and provide culturally fitting and meaningful care to people with different cultures. Tanzania suffers from a lack of qualified health workers due to an increased burden of disease and this affects the quality and supply of effective health services. It has been seen that it is common for patients to get inadequate pain treatment and this results in many different complications. The aim of the study was to describe the nursing care of patients with postoperative pain at a rural hospital in Tanzania. The study was implemented at the Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre in Moshi. A qualitative participating observation study with an ethnographic approach was used to collect the data. The data was analyzed by content analysis and resulted in three themes: 1. The role of the nurse, 2. Pain management, and 3. Meeting the patient. The conclusion was that the nursing care around patients with postoperative pain showed an extended collaboration between the nurses and other health care professionals as well as with the patients’ parents. The study further showed that the atmosphere around the patients was positive and calm and that the nurses assessed pain by measuring vital signs and facial expressions.

Abstract:
Vårdrelaterade infektioner är ett globalt problem, patienter i utvecklingsländer är speciellt utsatta på grund av att många sjukhus har begränsade resurser. Därför kom idén upp att göra en studie som belyser hur sjuksköterskor hanterar handhygien med avseende att förebygga vårdrelaterade infektioner på Bulongwa Lutheran Hospital i Tanzania. Data samlades in genom en observationsstudie som varade i fyra dagar. Anteckningar från observationen skrevs ner i löpande text och analyserades genom en detaljerad innehållsanalys. I analysen växte ett antal kategorier fram, vilka resulterade i fyra övergripande teman: tvättmöjligheter, handtvätt, handskanvändning och övriga hygienaspekter. Resultatet av studien visade att sjukhusmiljön medförde vissa svårigheter för sjuksköterskorna att förhålla sig till god handhygien. Då handtvätt utfördes gjordes det med varierad noggrannhet och inträffade framförallt efter städmoment. Skyddshandskar användes vid städning och i vissa fall vid hantering av kroppsvätskor. Sjukhuset var försett med information i form av affischer för hur handhygien bör genomföras och sjuksköterskorna hyste kunskap i när tillfällen för handtvätt var aktuellt och på vilket sätt det skulle utföras. Slutsatsen som kan dras av denna studie är att bristfällig tillgänglighet av resurser troligtvis medförde en försämrad följsamhet till rekommenderade riktlinjer på Bulongwa Lutheran Hospital.
Healthcare associated infections are a global issue, patients in developing countries are especially vulnerable because of many hospitals' limited resources. The purpose of this study was to highlight how nurses manage hand hygiene for preventing healthcare associated infections at Bulongwa Lutheran Hospital in Tanzania. Data were collected during a four days observational study. Notes from the observation were written in linear form and analyzed using a detailed content analysis. The analysis brought a number of categories, which in the end resulted in four themes: places for hand washing, hand washing, glove usage and other health aspects. The results showed that the hospital environment caused a few problems for the nurses to respond to good hand hygiene. When hand washing was performed, it was made with varying accuracy and occurred most frequently after cleaning. Gloves were used during cleaning and in some cases when handling body fluids. The hospital was provided with information in the form of posters showing how hand hygiene should be performed and the nurses had knowledge of the occasions when hand washing was disclosed and the manner in which it should be performed. The conclusion to be drawn from this study is the lack of availability of resources likely led to deterioration in adherence to recommended guidelines at Bulongwa Lutheran Hospital.
