Abstract

This study investigated prevalence of urinary tract infection bacterials among internally displaced pregnant women in selected camps in Ogbaru, Anambra State. The population of the study comprised 380 internally displaced pregnant women who also formed the study sample as no sampling method was adopted due to the limited number of study participants. The tools for data collection was midstream urine samples collected using sterile screw capped universal containers, the instruments used in isolating the bacterial uropathogens, include Cysteine- Lactose Deficient (CLED) agar, MacConkey and Nutrient agar plates as well as a structured checklists in socio-demographic characteristics of the pregnant women. Descriptive statistics of frequency and percentage was used for data analysis and the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software was employed in the analytical process. Results from the study showed the prevalent urinary tract infection bacterials among internally displaced pregnant women in some selected camps in Ogbaru local government areas of Anambra State are Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus sp, Klebsiella sp, Escherichia coli. (P>0.05), factors responsible for urinary tract infection among internally displaced pregnant women in selected camps in Ogbaru local government areas of Anambra State are history of UTI, genital hygiene (wash/wipe after sex), Defecation facility etc (P<0.05) and risk factors were preterm birth, low birth weight, premature labour and hypertension/preeclampsia. The study concluded that there is an increasing incidence of bacterial urinary tract infection among internally displaced pregnant women linked to lack of education. Based on the study findings, early routine screening of all internally pregnant women presenting or not presenting with clinical symptoms of urinary tract infection is recommended. The need for good personal and environmenta
