The social, economic, emotional, and physical experiences of caregivers for women with female genital fistula in Uganda
This study aimed to explore the firsthand experiences of informal primary caregivers of women with female genital fistula in Uganda. Caregivers that accompanied women for surgery at Mulago National Teaching and Referral Hospital were recruited between January and September 2015. Caregivers participated in in-depth interviews and focus groups. Data were analysed thematically and informed adaptation of a conceptual framework. Of 43 caregivers, 84% …

We recruited 60 Ugandan women seeking genital fistula surgery (December 2014-June 2015). We used exploratory fa…

Participants were followed for 12 months following surgery, with data captured quarterly, followed by interviews at 12 months. Participant retention was h…
