Abstract Background: Triage system is a sorting system that categorizes patients on the basis of the severity of their condition and the availability of the resources in the emergency department. There has been little attention in the public literature to triage systems in Sudan. The aim of this study was to explore the triage system and identify the barriers in its application in hospitals in Sudan. Methods: A cross-sectional hospital based study was conducted at eight hospitals in Khartoum during December 2020. A multi-stage cluster sampling was applied. Data were obtained by interviewing emergency department staff using a structured questionnaire. The data were analyzed using statistical package for social sciences to find the association between various variables by chi-square test. Results: Most of the respondents stated that the triage system was deficient. Most of the participants of this study agreed that the role played by the administration in taking legislative decisions is crucial in improving the triage system. Among the factors found to be significant to a well-functioning triage system were, the need for substantial capital expenditure, p-value: 0.026, prudent legislative decisions, p-value: 0.026, adequate training of staff on means of performing efficient triaging, p-value: 0.017 and raising the awareness of the staff on the correct application of triage guidelines, p-value: 0.007. Conclusion: Currently there is no formal triage system in the State of Khartoum and has yet to be established. Policy making by administrators will play an important role in its implementation. It is suggested that prompt executive orders on improving the current triage system in Khartoum, should be carried out sooner than later, as the ripple effects of a well-functioning triage will decrease the average length of stay, mortality and morbidity rates and will eventually increase the patient’s satisfaction.

Abstract Background: Complications during delivery are responsible for half of all maternal deaths, one-third of stillbirths and a quarter of neonatal deaths. The care necessitates emergency care, and it is a known fact that reductions in maternal mortality and morbidity are not possible without an effective referral system. This study is aimed at measuring the prevalence of inappropriate referrals and identifying factors that contribute to it. Methods: The study employed a sequential explanatory mixed research design. In the first phase, a retrospective cross-sectional quantitative study was done, 718 medical records were reviewed. The second phase involved a qualitative study of 26 key informants being interviewed. Results: Three quarters of cases, (74.23%; n=533), who visited the selected hospitals could have been managed at the health center level. Sixty-five percent of them, (n=436), sought care at the hospital level with no referral from the lower level. Further analysis of the data showed no major difference as to the appropriateness of hospital level care in relation to age of mothers, previous medical and obstetrics history as well as danger signs at admission. On the other hand, number of parities, (chi-square = 9.3; P-value = 0.010), frequency of ANC, (chi-square = 6.7; p-value = 0.037) and the institution where ANC was sought, (chi-square = 12.9; p-value = 0.005) were found to be associated with appropriateness of the case for hospital level care. Further inventory of the referred cases revealed that 33.2% of referred cases were appropriate for hospital level care. In addition, the qualitative study identified three major themes in relation to appropriateness of referrals: capability of identifying appropriate cases for referral, proper initiation of the referral process determining the outcome and functional cross-facility support platforms for better collaboration and coordination between facilities. Conclusion: Referral, which is the coordination between facilities, requires readiness of the facilities at both ends as well as a transportation system. The governance system should also be strengthened to ensure the emergency management system in the country is effective.

The behavior of family planning acceptors in choosing the contraception methods was influenced by several factors. Banduras’ theory stated that the cognitive processes including making a decision, having beliefs, or appreciating self-abilities were a consideration in understanding individuals' capabilities to deal with certain tasks. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between self-efficacy and the selection of contraception methods. This research applied the colerational design with a cross-sectional approach. Independent variable was the level of Self-efficacy and the dependent variable was the choice of contraception methods. The population in this study were all fertile age couples (15-49 years) who were part of family planning acceptors in the Kopo sub-district Bandung Regency. The samples were 70 people that were chosen using cluster sampling techniques. Instruments of this study were the self-efficacy scale based on Bandura (1997) aspect of self-efficacy in Ghufron (2010) and the modification scale of General Self-Efficacy (GSE) from Schwarzer and Jerusalem (1995). According to Schwarzer et al (2009) states that the GSE scale is a unidimensional scale where the GSE scale of 12 items is a unity of aspects of magnitude, strength, and generality. Analysis using the Chi-Square test. There was a relationship between self-efficacy and contraception selection with p-value 0,031. Family planning counseling with health providers would motivate acceptors. Family planning acceptors improved self-efficacy so that family planning acceptors would be confident with the choice of contraception used and avoid the risk of harmful pregnancy. Keywords: Self-efficacy, Family Planning Participants
