Abstract

Cesarean surgery (CS) is one of the most common obstetric procedures performed
worldwide. There was a scarcity of data on cesarean surgery (CS) and its associated factors
in Africa and other poor nations. The purpose of this study was to find out how common
cesarean surgery (CS) was, as well as the associated obstetric and non-obstetric
characteristics, among women who gave birth at Jinja Regional Referral Hospital. A
retrospective descriptive research was utilized to collect data, which was then counted and
categorized using frequencies and percentages. The study discovered that 5.7% (22) of the
384 women participating in the study between September 1st and December 31st delivered
by cesarean, whereas 94.3% (362) delivered via cesarean. The prevalence in my study was
5.7%. The Women between the ages of 16 and 20 and those beyond the age of 41 were the
most likely to undergo cesarean surgery (CS). As a result, the majority of mothers who had
cesareans during this time period were between the ages of 16 and 20 and over 40. Those
with a low level of education, living in cities, having gestational diabetes, and preeclampsia
were also more likely to have a cesarean delivery. Encourage mothers to attend antenatal
appointments in order to spot issues early.
