The skin of a patient is the first and most visible structure of the body that any health-care worker encounters during the course of an examination.

date, plusieurs conférences internationales ont porté sur l’élucidation de différents aspects de la charte. De nouvelles données ont éveillé les consciences sur les inégalités de santé et encouragé les États à agir dans le sens de l’équité en matière de santé.

Notre étude porte sur les agents de santé et la perception de leur rôle, précisément le cas des infirmiers du centre hospitalier universitaire pédiatrique Charles De Gaulle. Au Burkina Faso, tout comme ailleurs dans le monde, les infirmiers dispensent près de 80% des services de santé. Cepen...dant, dans la pratique leur pouvoir de responsabilité et leur autorité sont très
limités, de même qu’il existe un écart entre rôle défini et celui accompli. Ainsi on y dénote de l’ambiguïté, liée au manque de clarté des missions de son service et de précision dans leur rôle, faisant qu’ils en sont parfois désabusés. Ce qui révèle aussi que le problème pour les diverses catégories de personnel infirmier soit beaucoup lié au manque de définition précise
