An implementation study of an oxygen systems strengthening program in Uganda
REFNo: HS631ES

The research consists of two studies. The aim of the first study is to evaluate health care worker capacity building approaches for improving adoption of pulse oximetry & oxygen use in HCIVs and hospitals. The aim of the second study is to understand the feasibility of introducing oxygen systems in Health Center IIIs.

For both studies a hybrid effectiveness-implementation research study design will be used to evaluate the acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility of pulse oximetry and oxygen use among healthcare workers and the effectiveness of capacity building interventions to improve adoption of these technologies and reduction in mortality within the select facilities.
