Introduction: The partograph is the particular tool for monitoring childbirth, maternal and newborn health when used correctly. The misuse of it and/or its absence constitutes a real danger for the parturient and the newborn. Material and Method: Sixty-two (62) nurses in three health facilities in the city of Kisantu in the province of Kongo-central in the DR. Congo were followed in the maternities. The observational survey method in a cross-sectional quantitative approach was used. The results are presented as percentage and mean compliance and partogram completeness. Results: It appears from this study that the population of respondents is made up only of registered nurses (24.2%), basic graduates (37.1%) and graduates (38.7%). Their professional seniority varies from 4 to 26 years; 50% opens the partograph when the parturient arrives; the average knowledge of the partogram is 20.3% and the consideration of the parameters of the partogram is 33%. Conclusion: The observance and completeness of the partogram by nurses in the city of Kisantu is largely low compared to the prescriptions of the WHO and the ICM.
Author Keywords: partograph, childbirth, knowledge, observance.

Abstract: (french)
Introduction: Le partogramme est l’outil particulier de suivi de l’accouchement, de la santé de la mère et du nouveau-né lorsqu’il est utilisé correctement. La mauvaise utilisation de celui-ci et/ou son absence constitue un danger réel pour la parturiente et le nouveau-né. Matériel et Méthode: Soixante et deux (62) infirmières dans trois formations sanitaires de la cité de Kisantu dans la province du Kongo-central en RD. Congo ont été suivi dans les maternités. La méthode d’enquête par observation dans une approche quantitative transversale a été utilisée. Les résultats sont présentés en pourcentage et en moyenne d’observance et complétude du partogramme. Résultats: Il ressort de cette étude que la population des enquêtées est constituée uniquement des infirmières brevetées (24,2 %), des diplômées de base (37,1 %) et des graduées (38,7 %). Leur ancienneté professionnelle varie de 4 à 26 ans; 50 % ouvre le partogramme à l’arrivé de la parturiente; la moyenne de connaissance du partogramme est de 20,3 % et la prise en compte des paramètres du partogramme est de 33 %. Conclusion: L’observance et la complétude du partogramme par les infirmières dans la cité de Kisantu est largement faible par rapport aux prescrits de l’OMS et de l’ICM.
