Awareness of WASH Challenges Sample Clauses

Awareness of WASH Challenges. Mothers did not find WASH to necessarily be a challenge that occurred while they delivered. They discussed the WASH status at the HCF they delivered at when prompted by the specific question that asked about how WASH services influence their choice of where to deliver. “The water was there. After delivering, they give you warm water. The sanitation is good because they wake up early in the morning and mop. After that, they keep checking and when the place is dirty, they clean again.” (Respondent from Kanungu-Bwindi) WASH Status at HCFs Mothers found the HCFs to have sources of clean water and latrines that were accessible and clean. They also noted that the healthcare workers (HCWs) at the facilities would provide boiled water. Furthermore, they noted the HCFs were cleaned relatively often. However, mothers stated they did have to bring their own soap to the HCF. Moreover, mothers mentioned that many latrines were shared by pregnant and non-pregnant women as well as men in some HCFs and they believe pregnant women should have separate latrines. “There are toilets which are used by everyone, whether a patient or not…..They are used by pregnant women, they are used by non-pregnant women…” (Respondent from Kanungu-Kihembe)

Awareness of WASH Challenges. The theme of awareness of WASH challenges showed that mothers rarely mentioned WASH if not prompted by a specific WASH question on the interview guide. However, when prompted they did discuss a connection between poor WASH and infections. Interestingly, two mothers spontaneously began their own discussion of WASH as a challenge when they were just asked for suggestions on improving overall delivery services. The two mothers were discussing improvements for delivery services and noted it is important to have a consistent and safe water source at all times within the HCF. These two mothers further noted that poor WASH conditions and poor hygiene can lead to infections both in the mothers and the neonates. The lack of spontaneous discussion about WASH may be due to various reasons. WASH may not have been defined or understood locally in Uganda in the same way that it is discussed in literature reviews and as WASH indicators, such as the WHO/UNICEF JMP indicators. Furthermore, these interviews were conducted in Lunyankole, the main language spoken in western Uganda, and there could have been language or translation barriers throughout the interviews and transcription process. WASH could have been interpreted differently among both the interviewers and participants.
