Introduction<p>Suite à la faillite des entreprises étatiques chargées du transport en commun dans la ville province de Kinshasa, la gestion de ce domaine a été reprise par les personnes privées. Cette situation a pu favoriser l’essor d’une activité caractérisée d’informelle, de par plusieurs caractéristiques notamment, le non respect de la réglementation du travail. Il s’est ainsi mise en place une activité du transport en commun avec des conditions d’emploi et de travail précaires, supposées être la source de plusieurs problèmes de sécurité et santé au travail (SST) pour les populations des t

Abstract:

Sustaining splendid health has always been a wish for every employee of any formal organisation. If health is not excellent, employees are likely not to function as expected hence it is imperative to have social health insurance. This article reports on the findings derived from a research conducted in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo. The researcher personally distributed structured questionnaires among employees in 15 organisations. Findings show that the majority of the respondents experience problems in organizing their health care where it emerged that, 1) the majority of the employ

Abstract:

The relationships between parasitic infections, environmental and living conditions, and health outcomes were studied in subdivisions of lower (LSES) and higher (HSES) socio-economic status Lubumbashi, Zaire. The two LSES subdivisions had higher prevalences of Plasmodium infection and higher rates of stunting, abdominal pain and low packed cell volume (PCV) than the HSES subdivision. The prevalence and intensity of Ascaris lumbricoides and Trichuris trichiura was not associated with socio-economic status. Maternal education was a significant predictor of A. lumbricoides intensity in both LSES

Abstract:

There are negative personal, psychological, and professional implications of working with individuals who have suffered from trauma, to include secondary trauma. A significant research gap exists in regard to how secondary trauma bears on psychosocial assistants (PAs). Bukavu, in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), has a shortage of trained and licensed mental health providers, and as a result, mental health services have been shifted to PAs. Using Bandura's social cognitive theory and Orem's theory of self-care, this qualitative phenomenological study explored the lived experiences of sec

Abstract:

Background: Task-shifting of care and first-line treatment for people living with HIV (PLHIV) from doctors to nurses is feasible, effective and acceptable in sub-Saharan Africa. Since first-line resistance to antiretroviral therapy (ART) is increasing, comprehensive HIV care should be informed by viral load (VL) monitoring to ensure timely detection of treatment failure and switch to second-line ART if appropriate. Patients identified with a first elevated VL (FEVL) enter a cycle with extra counselling sessions, VL re-testing, and potential regimen switch, putting additional strain on scarce h

Introduction: Le paludisme est une maladie parasitaire curable. Il sévit sous une forme endémique depuis des temps immémoriaux. Malgré le recul de l’endémie observé au cours de la dernière décennie à la suite des efforts menés à un niveau international, l’Afrique essentiellement tropicale continue encore à supporter une importante charge de morbidité et de mortalité liée au paludisme. L’Organisation Mondiale de la Santé (OMS) estime que sur les 216 millions malades et 655 000 décès survenus dans le monde en 2010, respectivement 80,6% et 91,6% l’étaient en Afrique tropicale.

Abstract:

Fewer rural Congolese women complete 4 antenatal care (ANC) visits than do urban women, despite high maternal and child mortality rates. This quantitative cross-sectional survey applied Andersen's behavioral model of service utilization to examine whether the ANC facility type, provider type, provider gender, time to ANC facility, cost, and number of services can predict ANC compliance among rural women. The study was a secondary analysis of the 2015 Maternal and Child Health (MCH) survey, which comprised 1,280 eligible women selected through stratified random sampling. The analysis included b

Abstract:

From 1996 to 2002, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) experienced numerous outbreaks of war. Kinshasa, the Capital, was isolated from its main sources of local food supply which led to a sharp deterioration of the life quality. In 2003, with the Sun City Accord signed formally ending the protracted war, the political and economic situation of the country seemed better. Yet, the household food situation did not seem to improve This study aimed to increase the general understanding of food insecurity at the household level. The objectives were to determine households' food-insecure based on

Abstract:

Protection from violence, and access to formal education, are fundamental human rights for girls in conflict-affected societies. And yet, war exposes girls to an increased risk of exposure to violence, and serves as a well-known barrier to their involvement in school. While these risks are widely recognized within the fields of international education and humanitarian affairs, significant gaps exist within the peer-reviewed literature. Existing studies tend to focus generally on violence against girls in conflict-affected societies without accounting for issues of education. Or, studies fo
