Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice of Medication Use During Pregnancy: A Cross‐Sectional Study in Western Uganda
The study concludes that three-fourths of the pregnant women have a positive attitude regarding safe MU, still there is an extensive gap in transforming this positive attitude into rational practice due to lack of adequate knowledge. So, to address the gap identified in the knowledge and practice domain, hospital-based educational interventions on safe MU can be initiated by targeting young age, lower or no education, rural residents, and participants working in non-healthcare profession.
