AbstractObjectiveTo assess the adherence to Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) guidelines in primary health care facilities in Burkina Faso and to determine the factors associated.Materials and MethodsWe used data from a large survey on health facilities, held from October 2013 to April 2014. Primary health facilities were evaluated, health workers interviewed and consultations observed. The standard guideline for an under five year’s old child consultation was the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI).Results1,571 consultations were observed, carried out by 522 different practitioners. The danger signs were usually not checked (13.9% only checking for at least three general danger signs). The adherence for cough (74.8%), diarrhoea (64.9%), fever (83.8%) and anaemia (70.3%) was higher. The principal factors found to be associated with poorer adherence to guidelines of consultation were female sex (Rate Ratio (RR) = 0.91; 95% CI 0.86 – 0.95), non-nurse practitioner (RR=0.93; 95% CI 0.88 – 0.97), IMCI training (RR=1.06; 95% CI 1.01 – 1.11), non-satisfaction of the salary (RR=0.95 95% CI 0.91 – 0.99).ConclusionThis study highlights a poor adherence to the IMCI guidelines and by then, revealing a poor quality of under-five care. Indeed, many characteristics of health workers including gender, type of profession, training satisfaction with salary were found to be associated with this adherence. Therefore, more initiatives aiming at improving the quality of care should be developed and implemented for improving the child health care.

Primary Health Care Facilities

To ascertain the frequency of mental disorders in Sudan, Philippines, India, and Colombia, 925 children attending primary health care facilities were studied. Rates of between 12% and 29% were found in the four study areas. The range of mental disorders diagnosed was similar to that encountered in industrialized countries. The research procedure involved a two-stage screening in which a ten-item "reporting questionnaire" constituted the first stage. The study has shown that mental disorders are common among children attending primary health care facilities in four developing countries and that accompanying adults (usually the mothers) readily recognize and report common psychologic and behavioral symptoms when these are solicited by means of a simple set of questions. Despite this, the primary health workers themselves recognized only between 10% and 22% of the cases of mental disorder. The results have been used to design appropriate brief training courses in childhood mental disorders for primary health workers in the countries participating in the study.

Integrated Management of Childhood Illness is one of the strategies in health care services for infants and children under five at primary health care facilities. Children with fever in high malaria endemic areas must have a blood test done to check whether the children have malaria or not. IMCI is one of the interventions recommended by WHO to screen and also ensure that children receive proper initial treatment at first-level health facilities. This article aims to discuss the quality of care for children under five with malaria using IMCI approach. This is a systematic review by searching 4 databases including Scopus, Web of Science, SAGE and Proquest. Health care services for children under five with an integrated management of childhood illness are intended to provide immediate and appropriate treatment. The guideline for treating children under five with malaria using IMCI approach is very helpful for nurses both in assessing, classifying, treating/curing and making decisions for pre-referral measures for severe cases. Several factors to support quality of care are trained officers, supervision and procurement of essential medicines, RDT and malaria microscopy. Enforcement of the right diagnosis will improve the quality of life of children and prevent death in children under five. Keywords: IMCI, Malaria, Children under five
