  • Contraceptive Uptake Among Postpartum Mothers 15–49 Years of Age in Kalisizo Hospital, Kyotera District, Central Uganda

E-mail: [email protected], Tel: +256706464873 DOI: 10.47760/cognizance.2021.v01i03.005 Abstract Background: Per 1000 live births, 336 mothers die from pregnancy-related causes in Uganda; most of which are preventable as 9,549 mothers’ lives were saved from 2015–2020 through reaching the CIP mCPR goal. Use of contraception can prevent unwanted pregnancies and unsafe abortions which could lead to loss of lives of the women involved. Studies elsewhere have shown that the contraceptive use among postnatal mothers has a strong association with unsafe abortions and deaths. Similarly, there is limited information regarding the factors associated with contraceptive use among postnatal mothers. Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of contraceptive uptake and to establish individual, socio-economic and health facility related factors associated with contraceptive uptake among post-partum mothers, 15–49years of age in Kalisizo hospital, Kyotera district, central Uganda. Materials and Methods: This was a hospital based cross sectional observational and analytic study. A total of 168 randomly selected participants were recruited to participate in the study. Univariate analysis, Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression were done using STATA version 14.0 to identify factors associated with postpartum uptake of contraceptives.

Col. Tom Butime Minister of Local Government The Mandate of the Ministry of Local Government is to guide, harmonize, mentor and advocate for all Local Governments in support of Government’s vision of bringing about socio-economic transformation of the country. The Ministry is responsible for mentoring, compliance inspection and support supervision of Local Governments. In order to fulfil this mandate, quality statistics are required to measure development outcomes, identify development issues, inform policy formulation, and facilitate planning, decision making, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the impact of development programmes in the LGs. It is on this basis that the Ministry of Local Government, with support from Uganda Bureau of Statistics, adopted a strategic approach towards managing data and statistics of the Ministry. This necessitated development and implementation of a five year Strategic Plan for Statistics (SPS) covering the period 2015/16 – 2019/20 to act as a building block for the Plan for National Statistical Development (PNSD) framework. The plan is aimed at enhancing data quality and use and comprehensiveness of statistics produced by the ministry. In line with the MoLG-SPS, the Ministry is required to produce an Annual Statistical abstract.The MoLG Statistical Abstract 2018 consolidates data relating to its various output indicators.
