Abstract

The study evaluated the causes and prevalence of post-cesarean sepsis in post-operative women at Kitagata general
hospital. The particular goals were to define social demographic parameters, ascertain post-cesarean sepsis prevalence, and
identify health facility elements that were related to it. 42 mothers participated in a descriptive cross-sectional study at
Kitagata Hospital among postoperative women. The study revealed that only 8 people (19.0%) experienced sepsis and that
having reached the age of 30 or more was a significant risk factor, with an odd ratio of 0.35(0.02-12.20) and a P-value of
0.001. The research revealed that only 8 people (19.0%) experienced sepsis and that having reached the age of 30 or more
was a significant risk factor, with an odd ratio of 0.35(0.02-12.20) and a P-value of 0.001. According to the study, 32 (94.1%)
of the mothers who did not get sepsis and 7 (87.5%) of the moms who developed post-cesarean sepsis were peasant farmers.
The study found that the mothers' parity did not affect the likelihood of sepsis, with an odd ratio of 2.42(1.47-8.50) and a
p-value of 0.875. Six (75.0%) of those who had sepsis were those with primary level education and were delivered with less
than four births. With an odds ratio of 4.60(1.51-17.25) and a p-value of 0.001, the study also demonstrated that inadequate
postnatal care was a significant factor in sepsis occurrence. The majority of those who developed sepsis—5 of whom, or
62.5%—said they had received no health education, and both groups—those who did and those who did not—said the cost
of care was high. The study's findings indicate that sepsis occurs frequently (19%), with people over 30 years old being
most impacted and claiming high healthcare costs as a major reason (62.5%). Health professionals should ensure that
infection prevention measures are used when caring for patients before and after surgery
