ABSTRACT
This research was to assess the knowledge and attitudes of mothers towards caesarian
section among mothers attending MCH clinics at Rwekubo HCIV Isingiro District. The
study was conducted from 60 respondents using a descriptive cross sectional study
design in which the quantitative data was collected for assessing the knowledge and
attitudes of mothers towards CS. From the study, a majority 55 (91.7%) of the mothers
had knowledge about caesarian section and 40 (66.7%) had ever undergone the
operation but still lacked more information to why mothers were operated and crucial
reasons that would lead one to the operation. On the attitude, the study showed 30 (50%)
of mothers were still not convinced that caesarian section was the only safer birth
delivery mode but instead they feared the c/s scars and felt so bad and 25% felt scared
whenever a caesarean section was indicated medically in presence of an indication. The
Social, cultural and economic states of the women which may influence their knowledge
and attitude towards caesarean section were not explored but conclusively attitude was
among a leading problem among mothers towards caesarian section. Therefore, further
studies would have to be done in our settings to assess the adequacy of pre-operative
counseling and the effectiveness of other forms of education such as the use of videos
and leaflets and posters to the mothers attending MCHclinics.
