Most labouring women experience severe labour pain. And while this pain is natural, there is hardly any evidence to support that it serves any biological function. Several methods exist for labour analgesia, and neuraxial labour analgesia is the most effective. However, all methods of labour analgesia are underutilised in low-resource settings. Moreover, a woman’s decision to use neuraxial labour analgesia is likely to be influenced by the advice of her obstetric practitioner (OP). However, the underutilisation of neuraxial labour analgesia had not been explored from the OPs’ perspectives in Uganda. Therefore, these data were collected to explore the perceptions, barriers and facilitators of OPs regarding neuraxial labour analgesia use for non-operative delivery in Kampala, Uganda. An exploratory-descriptive qualitative approach was used. Thirty-three OPs from three hospitals participated. Key informant interviews (KIIs) were conducted with three obstetric ward in-charges and 12 obstetricians, and three focus group discussions (FGDs) with six midwives each. All KIIs and FGDs were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data were analysed using inductive thematic analysis.
