Introduction

In late 2019, world was shaken by epidemic of SARS-COV-2 infection. In hemodialysis patients SARS COV2 infection is characterized by high lethality. In order to stop the spread of the virus, barriers measures were enacted. It was necessary to investigate the compliance with these barrier measures in the hemodialysis population. The main of our study was to evaluate compliance with barrier measures against SARS COV2 in hemodialysis patients.

Methods

From June 15 to 30, 2021, we conducted a cross-sectional study in hemodialysis patients at the Yalgado Ouédraogo University Hospital. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using Epi-info software version 7.2.5.0. Dependents variables were: compliance with mask wearing, hand washing outside the dialysis center, social distancing of at least 1 meter, coughing and/or sneezing into the folds of the elbow. We performed a simple logistic regression to search for factors associated with the dependent's variable. The odds ratios (OR) with their 95% confidence intervals were calculated and assessed using the Wald test. The significance threshold was set at 0.20. Significance variables were used for multiple logistic regression by step-by-step. We retained the final model with variables having a p-value < 0.05. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee for Health Research (CERS) of Burkina Faso by deliberation n°2021-04-108.

Results

One hundred forty-two patients participated in the study. The mean age was 42.51±14.13 years. Participants reported compliance with mask wearing, hand washing outside the dialysis center, social distancing of at least 1 m, coughing and/or sneezing into the folds of the elbow in 88.3%; 75.3%; 47.2%; and 59.9% of cases, respectively. Forty-two patients (29.6%) did not believe in the existence of COVID 19. Depending on the barrier measure evaluated, different factors were associated with non-adherence, such as: level of education, denial of covid, age.

Conclusions

The majority of barrier measures were respected in varying degrees. Several factors are associated with non-adherence with each barrier measure.
