Abstract

Nursing practice in villages faces poor traditional and religious practices that can not advance nursing care. Despite the evolution of science, 60 to 80% of the population believes in pastors, imams, charlatans, magicians, marabouts in their poor consultation, so the diagnosis is usually false (wizards, poisonings, the devil and evil spirits) by refusing the real scientific causes. Nurses and doctors who reject their diagnoses are threatened, even their families tested imprudently with the help of mesmerizing plants, research revealed plants: Benelian Raphyostylis, Family: Icacinaceae (leaves), Phaullopsus Falicicepala (Leaf and fruits), Datura stramonium, Family: Solanaceae (fruits), this combination used to hypnotize and other mystical needs. A pastor put the burning candle on a child's fingers to be pretended to be a sorcerer in the name of the holy spirit. A Catholic priest based in kizaom'vete (Matadi DRC) recovers abandoned children through this ordeal by their parents. Pastors tried to pray to Ebola patients at the center of Ebola treatment, but were chased out by the police. Healers and marabouts had accused dangerous devils and evil spirits for the first victims of Ebola before the World Health Organization (WHO) designated Ebola. Fight between wizards, the man could not withdraw from the woman after intercourse, the penis stuck in the vagina of the woman for two (2) days, because of research, they made me chase and witnesses said the couple was sent naked to a public place and people hung on them to separate them. A called aphrodisiac (athot, down to earth) is an overdose of viagra mixed with the powder of the leaves of manioteus utulissima, mucuna pruriens made by healers this combination causes today in the elderly men cases of cardiovascular accidents, and heart attacks. A group of magicians removed the sexes by shaking hands with people. Some difficulties encountered by nurses in remote areas is lack of training, information of medical materials and lack of pharmaceuticals, health education. A falseness of the fetishers in Guinea, a feticheur tries to deceive the women by making them drink an emetic and a laxative, to profit the vomiting, and the diarrhea to drop in the pot the kidney or the testes of goat to say that the fibroid, the ovarian cyst, the miomes have come out of the uterus because women are afraid of surgery.
