I Am Going to Take It Up”
Timely and prolonged skin-to-skin contact (SSC) immediately after birth is recommended in the Ugandan Clinical Guideline, the 2023 International Research and Practice Guideline on SSC and by the WHO/UNICEF Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative. Skin-to-skin contact is safe, low-resource, evidence-based and contributes to short- and long-term health outcomes. However, practice is inconsistent. A rapid-change intervention, PRECESS (Practice, Reflection…
Midwife-led birthing centres in Bangladesh, Pakistan and Uganda
INTRODUCTION: Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals to reduce maternal and neonatal mortality rates will require the expansion and strengthening of quality maternal health services. Midwife-led birth centres (MLBCs) are an alternative to hospital-based care for low-risk pregnancies where the lead professional at the time of birth is a trained midwife. These have been used in many countries to improve birth outcomes. METHODS: The cost analys…
Thirty-day mortality rates among young adult stroke patients and their characteristics at Kiruddu and Mulago hospitals in Uganda
Stroke outcomes among young adults in Uganda are unclear. This study therefore determined the clinical characteristics and 30-day outcome among young adults with an acute stroke. In a prospective observational cohort study, 61 young adults with confirmed stroke were followed up for 30 days. Socio-demographic and clinical characteristics were collected using a study questionnaire. Kaplan–Meier curves, and modified Poisson regression were performed…
Effect of Covid-19 on older adults 50 years and above living with HIV in a less-developed country
Introduction : Globally, control measures have been communicated to reverse the COVID-19 pandemic. In Uganda, as soon as the first case of COVID-19 was identified, strict lockdown measures were enforced, including a ban on all public and private transport, night curfew, closure of schools, and suspension of religious and social gatherings and closure of non-essential shops and markets. These measures affected access to health services, which coul…
Stigma in Aids Nursing Care in Sub-Saharan Africa and the Caribbean
Some nurses who provide AIDS care, in addition to experiencing stigma themselves, also exhibit negative attitudes and perpetrate stigma and discrimination toward persons living with HIV (PLWHAs). We used a participatory research approach to explore the nature, context, and influence of stigma on the nursing care provided to PLWHAs in four low- and middle-income countries: Jamaica, Kenya, South Africa, and Uganda. Eighty-four registered nurses, en…
Assessing community perspectives of the community based education and service model at Makerere University, Uganda
BACKGROUND: Community partnerships are defined as groups working together with shared goals, responsibilities, and power to improve the community. There is growing evidence that these partnerships contribute to the success and sustainability of community-based education and service programs (COBES), facilitating change in community actions and attitudes. Makerere University College of Health Sciences (MakCHS) is forging itself as a transformation…
The organization and implementation of community-based education programs for health worker training institutions in Uganda
BACKGROUND: Community-based education (CBE) is part of the training curriculum for most health workers in Uganda. Most programs have a stated purpose of strengthening clinical skills, medical knowledge, communication skills, community orientation of graduates, and encouragement of graduates to work in rural areas. This study was undertaken to assess the scope and nature of community-based education for various health worker cadres in Uganda. METH…
Perception and valuations of community-based education and service by alumni at Makerere University College of Health Sciences
BACKGROUND: Training of health professionals can be deliberately structured to enhance rural recruitment by exposing the trainees to the realities of rural life and practice through Community-Based Education and Service (COBE) programs. Few studies have surveyed the alumni of these programs to establish their post-university views and whether the positive impact of COBE programs endures into the post-university life. This study surveyed the alumn…
