Diabetes Patients

Increased knowledge is needed about what self-care means from the patients’ perspective, especially since the patient population with type 2 diabetes has been rising. The aim was to describe self-care, as experienced by patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes. This study adopted a phenomenological approach. Eight patients were interviewed. A combination of photos and interviews were used. The essential meaning of self-care was found to be an existential struggle that evokes feelings of being in-between one’s old unhealthy life and a new healthier one. In this in-between condition, tension exits between contradictorily emotions of anxiety, hopelessness and hope. This struggle also means questioning one’s identity. It is important that diabetes nurses create an opening for reflection and dare to challenge their patients to reflect on this existential struggle.

This is a retrospective study of patients who died in the Overlook Hospice Home Care Program during a six-month period. Parameters to define and document quality palliative care were measured and differences between the patient population who died at home and those who died in the hospital setting were also recorded. Among the patients who died at home, there was no symptom complex which was perceived as unmanageable by the patient's family, nurse, or physician. We could not predict which patients would be able to die at home in this study. In the future, more complete documentation of patient status, specific symptoms, and whether these symptoms are relieved will be necessary.

Introduction: The present study aims to determine the frequency of severe asthma in asthma patients followed at the National Hospital of Pneumo-Phtisiology (CNHPP) of Cotonou and to identify the risk factors associated with it Methods: The cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study focused on 213 asthmatic patients in the 2013 active file of the CNHPP. The data were collected through the use of files and individual interviews with patients. They were processed and analyzed using EPIINFO7 and STATA11 software. Pearson's Chi 2 test, unvaried and multivariate logistic regression were used at the significance level of 0.05 Results: A total of 154 asthmatic patients, ie 72.7%, answered the questionnaire. Among them 20.8% (95% CI: (14.67; 28.05)) suffered from severe asthma. Patient ages ranged from 10 to 76 years with a median of 41 years; 51.3% were female, 79.9% had a history of allergy, 61.7% started their asthma after the age of 12, and only 11% had used or consumed tobacco. The factors associated with the onset of severe asthma were: age 46 to 55 years (p = 0.04); the third and fourth quintiles of economic well-being (p = 0.01) and the onset of asthma after the age of 12 (p <0.001) Conclusion: The study showed a high frequency of severe asthma in Benin and will improve its management at the CNHPP.
