Abstract: (french)
Cette étude s’inscrit dans le domaine de la Santé Publique, dans une approche descriptive transversale, orientée vers la santé de reproduction. Elle couvre la période allant du mois de Janvier au mois de Mars 2020.Son objectif est d’identifier les obstacles à la Gestion hygiénique des menstrues par les Lycéennes à l’école. Pour atteindre cet objectif, nous avons utilisé l’enquête comme méthode, l’entretien a été utilisé comme technique de collecte des données et le guide d’entretien nous a servi d’instrument de collecte des données. Les Lycéennes ont constitué pour nous la population d’étude, l’espace choisi est le Lycée ESENGO dans mairie de Gemena, Province du Sud-Ubangi en RDC. La taille de l’échantillon pour cette étude s’élève à 80 Lycéennes choisit par convenance.Il se révèle donc que l’âge et l’ignorance combinés sont à la tête des obstacles identifiés. Les filles n’ayant pas atteint l’âge de la majorité, n’ont pas droit à l’information concernant leur vie sexuelle active, en parler reste un tabou dans les sociétés africaines, plus grand encore que de parler de défécation…. (Hamdalaye ICI, 2000). Certaines d’entre elles sont totalement ignorantes des signes avant-coureurs de la menstruation, le manque les serviettes préfabriquées (ignorance de leur utilisation et manque de moyens financiers pour s’en procurer (pauvreté), d’où, recours à des linges ramassés (morceaux des pagnes, tissus sales…), les installations sanitaires même existant au sein des écoles, ne sont pas utilisées convenablement (conditions moins hygiéniques, la non séparation de ces installations selon le sexe, et l’inexistence d’une source permanente d’approvisionnement en eau…) peuvent être comptés parmi les obstacles à la gestion non hygiénique des menstrues à l’école. Ce qui pousse les filles à rentrer, à rater le cours, parfois à abandonner en cas de fuite des tâches du sang sur leurs vêtements. Cela peut compromettre leur performance scolaire voire professionnelle.
