The objective of the study was to investigate practices of midwives regarding infection control measures during conducting normal delivery in labor rooms. A descriptive cross sectional hospital based study design was conducted at public hospitals in Khartoum state, practical guideline check list was adopted by observation of 205 midwives during conducting normal delivery. The results of the study revealed 61.5% not used standard infection control measures for gloves, 72.7% of midwives do not wear disposable plastic aprons, 89.8% do not wear Eye protection, 82.4% not wore face mask, study revealed, 71.7% of midwives not done, Safety boxes disposed when 3/4 full. In conclusions, the results of this study revealed a need for development of appropriate policies and protocols for infection control practices in labor and also implementing midwives training on standards of infection control practices 2023-03-25T00:00:00Z https://repository.sustech.edu/handle/123456789/28396 Title: Knowledge of Midwives regarding Infection control measure In Labor Rooms Authors: Mohmuod, Omjema Yousif Idris Abstract: Infection prevention and control (IPC) in a healthcare setting requires a comprehensive, coordinated program designed to prevent and control nosocomial or healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). Objective: To assess knowledge of Midwives Related to Infection Control in Labor Rooms Methods: A descriptive cross sectional hospital based study’s design was conducted at public hospitals in Khartoum state, knowledge of midwives was adopted by questionnaire. Results: The current study revealed that majority (81%) of midwives had unsatisfactory knowledge regarding infection control measures in labor rooms, regarding methods of sterilization almost 81.5% of midwives said dry heat sterilization however less than half 44.3% of midwives said wet heat sterilization, Regarding the autoclave sterilization (47.6%, 41.5%, and 39.3%) know have of equipment that closed or opened, time, temperature that the autoclave used respectively.

Seven Samples of oil and cakes were obtained from both types of presses in the Khartoum State. Physicochemical analysis, sensory evaluation, and oil contents of cakes were determined. Sesame seeds from the three locations (Khartoum-North, Khartoum, and Omdurman) presses had insignificant differences in moisture, ash and fiber content. Sesame seed from Khartoum locations registered the highest oil content (53.88 %) and the lowest carbohydrates content (13.64 %), while sesame seed from Khartoum North registered the highest protein content (25.05 %). The physical analysis revealed that there were no significant differences between different samples. While the chemical analysis showed that there were insignificant differences between the different extraction methods. Taste, aroma, colour and general acceptability showed no significant difference between normal and walad oil type obtained from the different locations in Khartoum State and the commercial one. This study showed that there is no significant difference between samples of Walad and normal types of sesame oil which are traditionally pressed. Also it was found that the commercial sample met the Sudanese Standard Meteorological Organization measurements for sesame oil.
