CASE STUDY REPORTS AND DEFENCES APRIL 2018 IN CAPITOL

CASE STUDY REPORTS AND DEFENCES APRIL 2018 IN CAPITOL

Dr MFONFU Daniel                                 

      The case study report is submitted by students in CAPITOL in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of higher national diploma (HND) in nursing after schooling for three years. The format for writing of the case study report is based on the format adopted at the Regional Workshop on clinical internships (placements or practicum) at Bamenda on 15 November 2016. The case report is written after the follow up of a case in a hospital, especially the Regional hospital Bamenda during an internship of one month. Emphasis is placed on the case rather than on the internship.

The generic general objective (goal) for    the case study is  Successfully manage the case as a member of the medical and nursing team; and to submit the report of this case study in partial fulfilment to obtain the HND in nursing.       (Or)

Restore the health of the case as a member of the medical and nursing team; and to submit the report of this case study in partial fulfilment to obtain the HND in nursing.

         In CAPITOL Higher Institute of Health Sciences and Beauty Therapies each report is presented in a hard copy and defended using power point. Case report writing is very closely supervised by members of staff. Students constitute resources to carry out clinical and community health research. It is customary for us to select some pertinent case study reports and their defences and publish them at the website www.mfonfudaniel.blogspot.com in order to show to the world what we do in CAPITOL, to motivate the hospital authorities to appreciate the good work they are doing and to improve the weaknesses identified and also to promote our students.

We have selected the following case study reports and their defences in power point of some of our students to publish at the website.

i)                Fournier gangrene in a 33 year old man because it is written in literature that Fournier’s gangrene is a rare disease and potentially fatal (M. N.Mallikarjuna et al., 2012) but with the HIV/AIDS pandemic the disease might not be as rare again and that with good management it responds  very favourably to treatment;  that is why I studied this case in order to sensitize health providers about the existence of this disease and its management

ii)              Preeclampsia because literature on preeclampsia says pre-eclampsia occurs at about 20 weeks of pregnancy but in this case of preeclampsia started when the pregnancy was at term. This preeclampsia at term motivated me to study it.

iii)           Malaria in a child because of the poor management of the first episode of malaria in this child I was motivated by the Poor management of the first episode of malaria in this child

iv)           Tuberculosis in an HIV positive because the case was a roaming patient moving from hospital to hospital without being diagnosed of tuberculosis in HIV, from specialised hospitals in Yaoundé to a District Hospital in Mbengwi where he was diagnosed with tuberculosis.

v)              Hemoperitoneum because this boy went into a conflict situation and he was mistakenly stabbed.

vi)           Postpartum hemorrhage because it led to total hysterectomy so I wanted to know the causes and the management

vii)         Bedsores because the patient developed the bed sores while in the hospital in the reanimation ward. This report will help to sensitize the health team on the importance of preventing bed sores in bed ridden patients.

viii)      Ectopic pregnancy because the ectopic pregnancy did not rupture because of early diagnosis and prompt action by the health team.
