Objective: The neonatal mortality rate remains a seriousproblem in most countries in sub-Saharan Africa such as Burkina Faso, where, in2010 this mortality rate was 28 per 1000 live births [1] [2]. Its reduction is possible and passes first by the strictprevention of infections in birth rooms. The objective of this study was todescribe the practices of infection prevention in the birth rooms of sevenreferral hospitals in Ouagadougou from April 1 to July 31, 2016. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study on the knowledge, attitudes andpractices of the rules of prevention and control of healthcare associatedinfections (PCHAI) among 123 consenting health workers who provided birth roomcare in 7 hospitals in Ouagadougou. Data were collected through individualinterviews and direct observations. The study was authorized by theInstitutional Ethics Committee in 2015 under the number 32. The data analysiswas done with the Epi Info software version 2000. Results: The “five clean in the birth room” were known by 26.83%. Regarding theequipment used for PCHAI, sterile gloves were mentioned by 75.61% of theagents, the source of clean water by 62.60% and soap by 57.11%; in practice,17.07% of the respondents had not washed their hands and 42 providers (34%) hadnot performed with complete mastery the wearing of sterile gloves before givingbirth, and 55.28% had not cleaned the perineum. Conclusion: Deficiencies in the prevention and control of healthcare-associatedinfections have been identified. Training on infection prevention in theneonatal period is needed for the benefit of hospital providers.
