This study aims to assess the practice of post-abortion care and its determinants among health workers in selected primary healthcare centres in Mbaitolu LGA, Imo State. A descriptive cross-sectional design was adopted, involving 140 healthcare workers and sample size was determined using Taro Yamane's formula and arrives at 104 sample size. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed with SPSS version 25. Percentages, frequencies, and chi-square tests were used to evaluate relationships between variables at a significance level of 0.05. The results revealed that 91% of respondents had above-average knowledge of PAC, with all recognizing critical components such as infection prevention, pain management, and patient education. PAC practices were consistently good, with 100% adherence to vital sign monitoring, documentation, and education. However, only 87% routinely provided contraceptive services, indicating areas for improvement. Key determinants influencing PAC delivery included the availability of essential drugs (100%), adequate staffing levels (99%), and supportive supervision (99%). Cultural and religious barriers, though less significant, were identified by 23% and 28% of respondents, respectively, and the practice of post abortion care among the health workers. The study concludes that while healthcare workers in Mbaitolu demonstrate strong knowledge and adherence to PAC practices, resource and cultural constraints pose challenges. Recommendations include regular training, improved resource allocation, and the development of policies to support PAC delivery. Community sensitization programs are also vital to addressing cultural barriers and enhancing the accessibility of PAC services. These findings indicate the need for targeted interventions to strengthen PAC delivery and improve maternal health outcomes in similar settings....Preview Download Preview +Other Nursing Science project topics and materials you might be interested in»Factors contributing to ineffective utilization of immunization programme among mothers in Ekwerazu town Ahiazu Mbaise local government area Imo state»Knowledge and practice of quality assurance among nurses working in accident and emergency unit of University of Ilorin teaching hospital, Kwara state»Awareness of female genital mutilation and its implication to reproductive health among mothers in Amaifeke in Orlu local government, Imo state»Factors that influence the patronage of traditional birth attendants in Umuowa community Orlu Lga, Imo State»Accessibility and use of information communication technology (ICT) in the enhancement of nursing education among nursing students in Madonna University Teaching Hospital (MUTH)»Attitude of nurses towards research among accident and emergency nurses of University of Ilorin teaching hospital»Awareness and practice of pressure sores prevention in the care of the elderly among nurses in Madonna University Teaching Hospital»Incidence of protein energy malnutrition among children under five years in General Hospital, Yelwa Yauri, Kebbi state»Factors influencing the attitudes of women toward family planning in Rivers state»Assessment of nutritional pattern and practice among pregnant women in holy rosary hospital»Assessment of exclusive breastfeeding in the development of under-five children in Madonna University Teaching Hospital»Burnout syndrome and use of therapeutic approaches among nursing students in Madonna University, Rivers state»Assessment of practices used in the prevention of Lassa fever infection among health workers in Madonna University Teaching Hospital»Factors influencing high rate of abortion among women of childbearing age in Saki, Saki West Local Government Area, Oyo State»Awareness of determinants of sexual abuse and identification of supportive care among female nursing student of Madonna University
