Healthcare workers’ attitudes and factors affecting provision of sexual and reproductive health services to adolescents in refugee settlements, Western Uganda
In this study, majority of the study participants had a good attitude towards comprehensive sexuality education provision and antenatal, intrapartum and postnatal care while the bad attitudes were highest toward safe abortion care. More efforts are still required toward provision of safe abortion care and harmful traditional practices prevention. This will be achieved by providing training which will be vital in improving knowledge and attitude toward these services. The training should be more focused on the older professionals and non-councilors.
