DEDICATION “Nay, the same Solomon the king, although he excelled in the glory of treasure and magnificent buildings, of shipping and navigation, of service and attendance, of fame and renown, and the like, yet he maketh no claim to any of those glories, but only to the glory of inquisition of truth; for so he saith expressly, ‘The glory of God is to conceal a thing, but the glory of the king is to find it out’; as if, according to the innocent play of children, the Divine Majesty took delight to hide his works, to the end to have them found out; and as if kings could not obtain a greater honour than to be God’s play-fellows in that game.” -Francis Bacon, The Advancement of Learning (1605) !

  • Contraceptive Uptake Among Postpartum Mothers 15–49 Years of Age in Kalisizo Hospital, Kyotera District, Central Uganda
    cognizancejournal.com Kizito Omona et al, Cognizance Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies, Vol.1, Issue.3, March 2021, pg. 58-69 Contraceptive Uptake Among Postpartum Mothers 15–49 Years of Age in Kalisizo Hospital, Kyotera District, Central Uganda Kizito Omona [PhD]1*; Emmanuel Ssekyeru1; Peter Kirya1; Julius Mutebi1; Isaac Tenywa1; Alex Mugabi1; Benard Ochieng1 1Faculty of Health Sciences, Uganda Martyrs University, Kampala, Uganda Corresponding Author: Dr. Omona Kizito, Lecturer. 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.
