Study title: Factors Contributing to Emotional Distress among Postpartum Mothers with Newborns at Newborn Unit Kenyatta National Hospital, Kenya 

Background: The expectation of a woman during pregnancy is to have a healthy live bay with no complications. Admission of a newborn baby to the newborn unit is distressing to the parents, more so in cases where there is little or no support from the health care team and other players.

Management in hospitals just like any other organization is very important as nothing moves without it. Kenyan public hospitals have not been doing well in their service delivery and the management’s role in hospital performance has not been evident.
