Obstetric practitioners’ perceptions, barriers and facilitators of neuraxial labour analgesia for non-operative delivery in Kampala, Uganda: An exploratory qualitative study
Year: 2026
Type: dataset
Abstract: Most labouring women experience severe labour pain. And while this pain is natural, there is hardly any evidence to support that it serves any biological function. Several methods exist for labour analgesia, and neuraxial labour analgesia is the most effective. However, all methods of labour analgesia are underutilised in low-resource settings. Moreover, a woman’s decision to use neuraxial labour analgesia is likely to be influenced by the advice of her obstetric practitioner (OP). However, the underutilisation of neuraxial labour analgesia had not been explored from the OPs’ perspectives in Uganda. Therefore, these data were collected to explore the perceptions, barriers and facilitators of OPs regarding neuraxial labour analgesia use for non-operative delivery in Kampala, Uganda.
