African Journal of Midwifery and Women's Health

Background/Aims Despite birth aftercare recommendations that a postnatal visit should take place ... more Background/Aims Despite birth aftercare recommendations that a postnatal visit should take place to examine both a woman and her child 6 weeks after birth, use of postnatal care services remains low at the Kajiado County referral hospital. This study's aim was to understand the factors influencing uptake of postnatal care among women of reproductive age.

The study lasted 24 months (March 2006 to March 2008). A total of 200 respondents (100 male subjects and their 100 female partners) were interviewed for the study. Out of the 100 men, 50 were experimental (confirmed alcoholics) and 50 were controls (non-alcoholics). Data collection methods comprised the use of the Conflict Tactics Scale 2 (CTS2) (Strauss et al, 1996) to characterize conjugal violence and battering. Review of patients’ files yielded both quantitative and qualitative data. Data analysis methods included use of both descriptive and inferential statistics.

The alcoholics subjected their female partners to more psychological aggression, physical assault,...

A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out at Kiambu District Hospital among women attending antenatal care (ANC) where the main objective was to determine their level of knowledge of VVF and sources of information. A total of 137 women were recruited through systematic sampling. Interviews and focus group discussions were conducted to collect data. Data were analysed and presented using descriptive statistics in the form of percentages and tables. Results showed that most ANC clients have little or no information about VVF. It is recommended that health education offered in ANC facilities should incorporate facts on VVF and its prevention.
