| Summary, etc. | Abstract:<br/><br/>Introduction: Infection prevention and control (IPC) practices are a major challenge globally, especially in low and middle-income countries, due to lack of technology, understaffing, and limited supplies. Maternal infections contribute to neonatal deaths, with factors such as postpartum infection and pre-existing conditions playing a role. Adherence to IPC standards during labor and childbirth is crucial for reducing the risk of infections and improving outcomes for both mothers and newborns. Failure to adhere to IPC standards can lead to healthcare-associated infections, resulting in morbidity, mortality, and increased treatment costs. In African settings with limited resources, IPC standards are vital in preventing infections. Factors such as hand washing, protective equipment, sterile equipment use, and environmental cleaning play a key role in preventing infections. Non-compliance with IPC standards during procedures like caesarean sections can increase the risk of sepsis. Personal hygiene, rural living, improper equipment sterilization, and other factors also contribute to sepsis.<br/><br/>Methodology: A health facility-based study was conducted from May to July 2024 using questioner and observational checklist from health care providers using convenient sampling. The obtained information was transferred into computer through IBM SPSS for cleaning, processing and organization.<br/><br/>Results: Findings reveal that while hand hygiene practices are commendable, compliance with personal protective equipment (PPE) usage is notably low, with only 47.4% adhering consistently. Training emerged as a significant factor influencing adherence, as 73.7% reported receiving rare IPC training.<br/><br/>Conclusion: The study underscores the need for structured training programs, adequate resources, and a culture of safety to enhance IPC adherence, ultimately aiming to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with puerperal and neonatal infections.<br/> |
