    Parents of infants admitted to a neonatal unit tend to experience emotional stress following admission of their infants in a neonatal unit. The study aimed to explore the experiences of parents whose infants were admitted to a neonatal care unit. We conducted a qualitative study based on strategies of the phenomenological method of inquiry. Participants were recruited at discharge at the neonatal unit.

  • Perceptions regarding making household air pollution a routine topic for health education during antenatal care: A qualitative study in Eastern Uganda

    Open AccessJoshua Epuitai, Katherine E Woolley et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    In Uganda, pregnant women do not routinely receive health education during antenatal care regarding exposure to household air pollution (HAP). The study was conducted to explore perceptions regarding what would be needed to incorporate HAP as a routine topic for health education during antenatal care. The study was based on the capability, motivation, opportunity-behavior (COM-B) model. Qualitative interviews were conducted among healthcare worke…

  • Multiple electrolyte derangements among perioperative women with obstructed labour in eastern Uganda: A cross-sectional study

    Open AccessRitah Nantale, David Mukunya et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    There is a dearth of information on the patterns of electrolyte derangements among perioperative women with obstructed labour. We measured the levels and patterns of electrolyte derangements among women with obstructed labour in eastern Uganda. This was a secondary analysis of data for 389 patients with obstructed labour, diagnosed by either an obstetrician or medical officer on duty between July 2018 and June 2019. Five milliliters of venous blo…

    Open AccessMartin Chebet, Milton W Musaba et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2023

    Over 250 million infants in low and middle-income countries do not fulfill their neurodevelopment potential. In this study, we assessed the incidence and risk factors for neurodevelopmental delay (NDD) among children born following obstructed labor in Eastern Uganda. Between October 2021 and April 2022, we conducted a cohort study of 155 children (aged 25 to 44 months), born at term and assessed their neurodevelopment using the Malawi Development…

  • The BabySaver: Design of a New Device for Neonatal Resuscitation at Birth with Intact Placental Circulation

    Open AccessJames Ditai, Aisling Barry et al.ARTICLEChildren2021

    The initial bedside care of premature babies with an intact cord has been shown to reduce mortality; there is evidence that resuscitation of term babies with an intact cord may also improve outcomes. This process has been facilitated by the development of bedside resuscitation surfaces. These new devices are unaffordable, however, in most of sub-Saharan Africa, where 42% of the world's 2.4 million annual newborn deaths occur. This paper describes…
