This study investigated the determinants influencing caregiver use of healthcare service utilisation for children under five in rural Budaka District, Uganda, using the Andersen Behavioural Model to understand how child-related, enabling, and need factors influence caregivers’ decisions when seeking healthcare. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among 369 caregivers in rural Budaka. Data were collected in March 2026 using structured questionnaires and key informant interviews. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics and logistic regression to determine factors associated with utilisation. Results The study found that 97% of caregivers sought care from formal facilities, primarily government health centres (78%). Malaria/fever (90.2%) was the most reported illness. In multivariate analysis, the strongest predictors of seeking care were fever (aOR = 30.47; p = 0.003), rejection of cultural myths (aOR = 17.29; p = 0.045), persistent vomiting (aOR = 9.496; p = 0.016), and advice from family or friends (aOR = 7.29; p = 0.023). Conclusions While utilisation is relatively high, it is heavily driven by the perceived severity of symptoms. Strengthening caregiver education on danger signs and addressing cultural beliefs are critical for improving timely care-seeking in rural communities. Pediatrics Health Policy Healthcare utilisation caregivers under-five children care-seeking behaviour danger signs Budaka District Uganda Figures Figure 1 Figure 2 Background Healthcare utilisation for childhood illnesses is a key determinant of child survival. Despite global progress, preventable conditions such as malaria, pneumonia, diarrhoea, and neonatal complications remain major causes of under-five mortality. In 2022, an estimated 4.9 million children under five died globally, mostly in low- and middle-income countries, with many deaths preventable through timely access to healthcare [ 1 ]. Prompt recognition of illness and appropriate care-seeking are therefore critical for improving child health outcomes. Evidence from high-income countries shows that strong health systems and financing mechanisms promote healthcare utilisation. For example, in Sweden, well-organised primary child health services support high immunisation uptake and continuity of care [ 2 ], while in the United Kingdom, access to primary care and caregiver characteristics influence service use among children [ 3 ]. These findings emphasise the role of accessible and responsive health systems in improving child health. In contrast, utilisation of formal healthcare services in many low- and middle-income countries remains low, particularly in rural areas. Structural barriers such as poverty, long distances, limited transport, and health workforce shortages constrain access to care [ 4 , 5 ]. Socio-cultural factors, including limited awareness of symptoms and reliance on informal providers, further delay appropriate care-seeking [ 6 ]. For instance, only 43% of caregivers in Tanzania seek prompt care for febrile children [ 7 ], while studies in Ethiopia report similarly low utilisation due to financial and geographic barriers [ 8 ]. These challenges contribute to delayed treatment and increased risk of preventable morbidity and mortality. Sub-Saharan Africa bears a disproportionate burden of child mortality, accounting for 56% of global under-five deaths despite representing 29% of live births [ 9 ]. Many of these deaths result from conditions that can be effectively managed through timely healthcare, underscoring the need to improve service utilisation. Uganda has made notable progress in reducing under-five mortality, from 137 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2006 to 52 per 1,000 in 2022 [ 10 ]. This improvement is linked to interventions such as expanded immunisation, malaria control, and strengthened community health systems, including Village Health Teams [ 11 ]. However, disparities in healthcare utilisation persist, especially in rural areas where barriers such as poverty, distance, limited transport, and shortages of medicines and health workers remain significant. National data indicate that care-seeking for common childhood illnesses ranges from 67% to 69%, which remains suboptimal [ 10 ]. Healthcare-seeking behaviour is shaped by a complex interaction of socioeconomic, cultural, and health system factors. In Uganda, caregivers often delay seeking formal care due to financial constraints, limited knowledge, distance, and perceived poor quality of services [ 12 , 13 ]. Caregiver perceptions of illness severity are also important; recognition of danger signs has been shown to increase the likelihood of seeking care [ 14 ]. Understanding these contextual factors is essential for designing effective interventions. The Andersen Behavioural Model provides a useful framework for analysing healthcare utilisation, categorising determinants into predisposing characteristics, enabling resources, and need factors [ 15 ]. This model has been widely applied to explain variations in service use across populations. However, limited evidence exists on the combined influence of these factors on healthcare utilisation among children under five in rural Uganda. In Budaka District, gaps in utilisation remain evident, with only 45% of children with fever receiving appropriate antimalarial treatment and 58% of those with pneumonia symptoms taken to health facilities [ 16 ]. Despite progress in child survival, preventable illnesses and suboptimal healthcare utilisation remain major public health concerns in rural Uganda. This study, therefore, examined determinants influencing caregiver use of healthcare service utilisation for children under five in rural Budaka District, Uganda, guided by the Andersen Behavioural Model, to inform targeted interventions aimed at improving access and utilisation of child health services. Methods This study aimed to assess determinants of healthcare utilisation among caregivers of children under five in rural Budaka District, Uganda, guided by the Andersen Behavioural Model of Health Service Utilisation. A community-based cross-sectional mixed-methods study was conducted in March 2026 in a predominantly rural district characterised by limited access to health facilities. The study population comprised caregivers of children under five whose children had experienced illness within the six months preceding the survey and who had resided in the area for at least six months. Caregivers unable to provide informed consent or communicate in English or Lugwere were excluded. A sample size of 369 caregivers was determined using the Kish and Leslie formula (p = 0.68, d = 0.05) with a 10% allowance for non-response. A multistage sampling approach was applied. First, two rural sub-counties (Naboa and Kaderuna) were randomly selected. This was followed by simple random selection of four parishes (Nangeye, Bunyekero, Kebula, and Naungholi), from which eight villages were subsequently selected using simple random sampling. Within each village, households were sampled systematically using Village Health Team registers as the sampling frame, with a fixed sampling interval (k = 4). In households with more than one eligible child under five years, one child was selected using simple random sampling. For the qualitative component, health facility in-charges and Village Health Team coordinators were purposively selected and invited to participate in key informant interviews. The primary outcome was healthcare utilisation, defined as seeking care from a formal health facility for a child’s illness episode within the previous six months. Independent variables were categorised as predisposing, enabling, and need factors in line with the Andersen model. Quantitative data were collected using structured interviewer-administered questionnaires, while qualitative data were obtained through semi-structured key informant interviews. Quantitative data were analysed using SPSS version 26. Descriptive statistics summarised participant characteristics, and bivariate analyses (Chi-square, Fisher’s exact, t-test, or Mann–Whitney U test as appropriate) assessed associations. Variables with p < 0.05 were included in multivariable logistic regression, and adjusted odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals were reported. Qualitative data were analysed thematically to complement quantitative findings. Results Participant Characteristics A total of 369 caregivers of children under five years participated in the study, yielding a response rate of 100%. The analysis included all respondents whose children had experienced an illness episode within the six months preceding the survey. Healthcare utilisation among children under five The majority of caregivers reported seeking formal healthcare services when their children were ill. Overall, 359 of 369 caregivers (97%) utilised formal healthcare services, while 10 (3%) did not seek treatment from formal health facilities (Fig. 1 ). Regarding the type of health facility used, most caregivers (78%) sought treatment from government health centres, while 13% sought care from drug shops and 7% from private clinics.

Other common illnesses included cough or cold in 144 children (39.0%), diarrhoea in 122 children (33.1%), and skin infections in 43 children (11.7%). Pneumonia or difficulty in breathing was reported in 27 children (7.3%). A small proportion of children (1.6%) experienced other illnesses such as boils, burns, and measles (Table 1 ). Qualitative findings supported these results, with key informants indicating: Most children suffer from diarrhoea, malaria, cough, and skin rashes. This is what forces mothers to bring their children to the hospital.” Yet, caregivers often delayed formal care, with one noting, “Most hurry to the nearest drug shops and come to the government hospital after severe symptoms.

These included knowledge of danger signs (χ²=9.934, p = 0.002), recognition of specific danger signs such as high fever (χ²=11.446, p = 0.003), inability to breastfeed (χ²=10.438, p = 0.005), persistent vomiting (χ²=13.199, p = 0.001), convulsions (χ²=10.474, p = 0.005), difficulty breathing (χ²=11.519, p = 0.003), and unconsciousness (χ²=10.539, p = 0.005). Cultural beliefs (χ²=4.002, p = 0.045) and distance to the nearest health facility (χ²=11.434, p = 0.010) were also significantly associated with healthcare utilisation (Table 6 ). Qualitative findings emphasised structural barriers to accessing healthcare, including “Distance to health facility, shortage of drugs, and they have no money to buy.” Another stressed, Most of them lack cash to pay for transport to the hospital, so they delay.” Waiting times were also a deterrent: “They don’t want to wait in long queues so they opt for private clinics.

Independent predictors of healthcare utilisation included skin infection (aOR = 6.264, 95% CI: 1.355–28.957, p = 0.019), advice from family/friends (aOR = 7.29, 95% CI: 1.318–40.309, p = 0.023), absence of cultural belief influence (aOR = 17.291, 95% CI: 1.505–198.60, p = 0.022), and persistent vomiting (aOR = 9.496, 95% CI: 1.531–58.898, p = 0.016). Among need factors, fever was strongly associated with utilisation (aOR = 30.467, 95% CI: 3.285–282.571, p = 0.003), while absence of danger signs reduced the likelihood of seeking care (aOR = 0.074, 95% CI: 0.012–0.454, p = 0.005) (Table 9 ). Qualitative findings reinforced that perceived severity, particularly symptoms such as fever, convulsions, vomiting, and inability to feed, drove care-seeking, although financial constraints and temporary symptom relief often led to delays. Discussion Overview of the findings This study assessed determinants of healthcare utilisation among under-five children with recent illness, guided by the Andersen Behavioral Model. Utilisation of formal healthcare was high, with key predictors including nutritional status, illness severity, chronic conditions, caregiver knowledge, social influence, cultural beliefs, distance to health facilities, and symptoms such as fever and persistent vomiting. proportion of caregivers for children under five who utilised formal healthcare services. The study found that 97% of children under five with recent illness utilised formal healthcare services, a rate considerably higher than most sub-Saharan African settings. Evidence from multi-country analyses shows that fewer than half of children with acute illnesses are taken to formal facilities, with wide variation across countries [ 17 ]. In Malawi, 61% of caregivers sought biomedical care for common childhood illnesses, although delays were common [ 18 ], while in rural Ethiopia, utilisation remained below 50% across conditions such as diarrhoea (49.7%), fever (40.9%), and cough (38.0%) [ 19 ]. This suggests that utilisation remains suboptimal in many low-resource settings, and the high level observed in this study may reflect improved access, effective community interventions, or higher caregiver awareness. Recent improvements in Uganda’s health system, including expansion of primary healthcare and child survival strategies such as Integrated Management of Childhood Illness, may partly explain this finding. Increased caregiver awareness of timely treatment may also contribute. However, this high utilisation should be interpreted cautiously, as caregivers in sub-Saharan Africa often initially seek care from informal providers, which may not be captured in formal utilisation measures. Child-related factors influencing healthcare utilisation Several child-related factors significantly influenced utilisation. Poor nutritional status was associated with increased healthcare use, consistent with global evidence linking malnutrition to higher infection risk and care needs. Symptom severity and chronic conditions were also key determinants, with caregivers more likely to seek care when illness was perceived as severe, as reported in Ethiopia and Malawi [ 20 , 21 ]. Individuals with chronic conditions also tend to utilise services more frequently [ 25 ]. Studies in Rwanda and Ethiopia further show that caregivers often delay care until symptoms worsen, frequently after trying home or traditional remedies [ 22 , 23 ]. These findings align with the Andersen model, which emphasises perceived and evaluated need as drivers of utilisation [ 15 ]. Children with chronic illnesses had higher utilisation, reflecting their ongoing interaction with health systems [ 26 ]. Symptom severity remained central, with caregivers more likely to seek care for serious presentations, while mild symptoms often led to delays [ 27 ]. Social networks also influenced care-seeking. Caregivers receiving advice or support from family or community members were more likely to seek timely care [ 28 ]. Evidence from Nepal similarly shows that discussions with relatives increase the likelihood of seeking professional care [ 29 ]. These findings highlight the combined role of clinical factors, perceived severity, and social support. Enabling factors influencing healthcare utilisation Key enabling factors included caregiver knowledge, distance to health facilities, and cultural beliefs. Knowledge of danger signs strongly increased utilisation, as caregivers recognising symptoms such as inability to feed, convulsions, or unconsciousness were more likely to seek care, consistent with evidence linking health literacy to timely care-seeking [ 30 , 31 ]. Geographic access was also important. Long distances and transport costs discouraged care-seeking, with caregivers living farther from facilities more likely to delay treatment [ 32 ]. Similar barriers are widely reported across sub-Saharan Africa [ 27 , 33 ]. Cultural beliefs also shaped behaviour. Caregivers not influenced by cultural beliefs were more likely to utilise formal services, while some still relied on traditional remedies or self-treatment before seeking biomedical care, a pattern common in African settings [ 34 ]. This underscores the need for culturally sensitive health promotion strategies. Need factors influencing healthcare utilisation Need factors, particularly perceived severity and symptoms, strongly predicted utilisation. Fever was a key driver, as caregivers commonly associate it with serious illness, especially in malaria-endemic settings [ 35 ]. Similar patterns are reported across sub-Saharan Africa, although overall care-seeking may remain low due to barriers such as cost and distance [ 36 ]. Children without severe symptoms or danger signs were less likely to be taken for care, reinforcing the role of perceived severity in decision-making. Studies show that recognition of danger signs strongly predicts utilisation, while their absence leads to delayed or no care-seeking [ 37 , 38 ]. These findings are consistent with the Andersen Behavioural Model, which identifies perceived need as the most immediate determinant of healthcare utilisation, often overriding barriers such as distance or cost [ 39 ]. Limitations of the Study The study has several limitations that should be considered when interpreting the findings. The cross-sectional design limits the ability to establish causal relationships between the identified determinants and healthcare utilisation. Although associations were observed between predisposing, enabling, and need factors and healthcare use, the temporal sequence between these variables cannot be determined. The study relied on caregiver self-reported information on childhood illness episodes and care-seeking behaviour, which may be affected by recall bias and social desirability bias. Measurement of illness severity was also based on caregiver perception rather than clinical assessment, which may have introduced some misclassification of symptoms or illness severity. Some potentially important determinants of healthcare utilisation, such as perceived quality of care, availability of medicines, and provider attitudes, were not examined in detail. In addition, the study was conducted in a rural setting, which may limit the generalisability of the findings to other regions or urban populations with different health systems and socioeconomic contexts. Strengths of the Study The study provides context-specific evidence on determinants of healthcare utilisation among children under five in rural Uganda using the Andersen Behavioural Model of Health Services Use. The use of this framework allowed a structured assessment of child-related, enabling, and need factors influencing healthcare-seeking behaviour. The study also combined quantitative findings with qualitative insights from caregivers, which strengthened the interpretation of the results by highlighting how social networks, cultural beliefs, and access barriers influence care-seeking decisions. These findings contribute useful evidence for improving child health service utilisation in rural settings. Conclusion Healthcare utilisation among children under five in rural Budaka District was high, with most caregivers seeking care from formal health facilities. Utilisation was primarily driven by need factors, particularly symptom severity and fever, alongside child-related conditions such as chronic illness. Enabling factors, including caregiver beliefs and social support networks, also significantly influenced care-seeking behaviour. These findings highlight that, beyond the availability of services, caregivers’ perceptions of illness and community influences play a critical role in determining healthcare utilisation. Strengthening caregiver knowledge of childhood illness, addressing cultural misconceptions, and leveraging community-based support systems are essential for promoting timely and appropriate care-seeking. This is particularly important for sustaining high utilisation and improving child health outcomes in similar rural, resource-limited settings.

Despite global progress, preventable conditions such as malaria, pneumonia, diarrhoea, and neonatal complications remain major causes of under-five mortality. In 2022, an estimated 4.9\u0026nbsp;million children under five died globally, mostly in low- and middle-income countries, with many deaths preventable through timely access to healthcare [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR1\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1\u003c/span\u003e]. Prompt recognition of illness and appropriate care-seeking are therefore critical for improving child health outcomes.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEvidence from high-income countries shows that strong health systems and financing mechanisms promote healthcare utilisation. For example, in Sweden, well-organised primary child health services support high immunisation uptake and continuity of care [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR2\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2\u003c/span\u003e], while in the United Kingdom, access to primary care and caregiver characteristics influence service use among children [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR3\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e3\u003c/span\u003e]. These findings emphasise the role of accessible and responsive health systems in improving child health.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn contrast, utilisation of formal healthcare services in many low- and middle-income countries remains low, particularly in rural areas. Structural barriers such as poverty, long distances, limited transport, and health workforce shortages constrain access to care [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR4\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e4\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR5\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e5\u003c/span\u003e]. Socio-cultural factors, including limited awareness of symptoms and reliance on informal providers, further delay appropriate care-seeking [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR6\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e6\u003c/span\u003e]. For instance, only 43% of caregivers in Tanzania seek prompt care for febrile children [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR7\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e7\u003c/span\u003e], while studies in Ethiopia report similarly low utilisation due to financial and geographic barriers [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR8\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e8\u003c/span\u003e]. These challenges contribute to delayed treatment and increased risk of preventable morbidity and mortality.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSub-Saharan Africa bears a disproportionate burden of child mortality, accounting for 56% of global under-five deaths despite representing 29% of live births [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR9\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e9\u003c/span\u003e]. Many of these deaths result from conditions that can be effectively managed through timely healthcare, underscoring the need to improve service utilisation.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUganda has made notable progress in reducing under-five mortality, from 137 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2006 to 52 per 1,000 in 2022 [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR10\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e10\u003c/span\u003e]. This improvement is linked to interventions such as expanded immunisation, malaria control, and strengthened community health systems, including Village Health Teams [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR11\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e11\u003c/span\u003e]. However, disparities in healthcare utilisation persist, especially in rural areas where barriers such as poverty, distance, limited transport, and shortages of medicines and health workers remain significant. National data indicate that care-seeking for common childhood illnesses ranges from 67% to 69%, which remains suboptimal [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR10\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e10\u003c/span\u003e].\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHealthcare-seeking behaviour is shaped by a complex interaction of socioeconomic, cultural, and health system factors. In Uganda, caregivers often delay seeking formal care due to financial constraints, limited knowledge, distance, and perceived poor quality of services [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR12\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e12\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR13\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e13\u003c/span\u003e]. Caregiver perceptions of illness severity are also important; recognition of danger signs has been shown to increase the likelihood of seeking care [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR14\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e14\u003c/span\u003e]. Understanding these contextual factors is essential for designing effective interventions.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Andersen Behavioural Model provides a useful framework for analysing healthcare utilisation, categorising determinants into predisposing characteristics, enabling resources, and need factors [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR15\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e15\u003c/span\u003e]. This model has been widely applied to explain variations in service use across populations.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHowever, limited evidence exists on the combined influence of these factors on healthcare utilisation among children under five in rural Uganda. In Budaka District, gaps in utilisation remain evident, with only 45% of children with fever receiving appropriate antimalarial treatment and 58% of those with pneumonia symptoms taken to health facilities [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR16\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e16\u003c/span\u003e].\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDespite progress in child survival, preventable illnesses and suboptimal healthcare utilisation remain major public health concerns in rural Uganda. This study, therefore, examined determinants influencing caregiver use of healthcare service utilisation for children under five in rural Budaka District, Uganda, guided by the Andersen Behavioural Model, to inform targeted interventions aimed at improving access and utilisation of child health services.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"Methods","content":"\u003cp\u003eThis study aimed to assess determinants of healthcare utilisation among caregivers of children under five in rural Budaka District, Uganda, guided by the Andersen Behavioural Model of Health Service Utilisation.

Slightly more than half of the children were male (56.4%), while 43.6% were female. The majority of children (77.8%) had received all recommended immunisations for their age. Regarding nutritional status, 74.8% were reported to have normal nutritional status, while 21.1% were underweight. Most caregivers reported that they decided to seek healthcare when symptoms were severe (84.6%). In terms of care-seeking behaviour, 59.9% sought formal healthcare immediately within 24 hours of illness onset, while 36.9% waited two to three days before seeking care.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e

id=\"Sec17\" class=\"Section2\"\u003e \u003ch2\u003eOverview of the findings\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003e This study assessed determinants of healthcare utilisation among under-five children with recent illness, guided by the Andersen Behavioral Model. Utilisation of formal healthcare was high, with key predictors including nutritional status, illness severity, chronic conditions, caregiver knowledge, social influence, cultural beliefs, distance to health facilities, and symptoms such as fever and persistent vomiting.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eproportion of caregivers for children under five who utilised formal healthcare services.\u003c/b\u003e The study found that 97% of children under five with recent illness utilised formal healthcare services, a rate considerably higher than most sub-Saharan African settings. Evidence from multi-country analyses shows that fewer than half of children with acute illnesses are taken to formal facilities, with wide variation across countries [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR17\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e17\u003c/span\u003e]. In Malawi, 61% of caregivers sought biomedical care for common childhood illnesses, although delays were common [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR18\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e18\u003c/span\u003e], while in rural Ethiopia, utilisation remained below 50% across conditions such as diarrhoea (49.7%), fever (40.9%), and cough (38.0%) [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR19\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e19\u003c/span\u003e]. This suggests that utilisation remains suboptimal in many low-resource settings, and the high level observed in this study may reflect improved access, effective community interventions, or higher caregiver awareness.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRecent improvements in Uganda\u0026rsquo;s health system, including expansion of primary healthcare and child survival strategies such as Integrated Management of Childhood Illness, may partly explain this finding. Increased caregiver awareness of timely treatment may also contribute. However, this high utilisation should be interpreted cautiously, as caregivers in sub-Saharan Africa often initially seek care from informal providers, which may not be captured in formal utilisation measures.\u003c/p\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"Sec18\" class=\"Section2\"\u003e \u003ch2\u003eChild-related factors influencing healthcare utilisation\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eSeveral child-related factors significantly influenced utilisation. Poor nutritional status was associated with increased healthcare use, consistent with global evidence linking malnutrition to higher infection risk and care needs. Symptom severity and chronic conditions were also key determinants, with caregivers more likely to seek care when illness was perceived as severe, as reported in Ethiopia and Malawi [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR20\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e20\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR21\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e21\u003c/span\u003e]. Individuals with chronic conditions also tend to utilise services more frequently [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR25\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e25\u003c/span\u003e]. Studies in Rwanda and Ethiopia further show that caregivers often delay care until symptoms worsen, frequently after trying home or traditional remedies [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR22\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e22\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR23\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e23\u003c/span\u003e]. These findings align with the Andersen model, which emphasises perceived and evaluated need as drivers of utilisation [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR15\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e15\u003c/span\u003e].\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChildren with chronic illnesses had higher utilisation, reflecting their ongoing interaction with health systems [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR26\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e26\u003c/span\u003e]. Symptom severity remained central, with caregivers more likely to seek care for serious presentations, while mild symptoms often led to delays [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR27\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e27\u003c/span\u003e].\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSocial networks also influenced care-seeking. Caregivers receiving advice or support from family or community members were more likely to seek timely care [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR28\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e28\u003c/span\u003e]. Evidence from Nepal similarly shows that discussions with relatives increase the likelihood of seeking professional care [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR29\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e29\u003c/span\u003e]. These findings highlight the combined role of clinical factors, perceived severity, and social support.\u003c/p\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"Sec19\" class=\"Section2\"\u003e \u003ch2\u003eEnabling factors influencing healthcare utilisation\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eKey enabling factors included caregiver knowledge, distance to health facilities, and cultural beliefs. Knowledge of danger signs strongly increased utilisation, as caregivers recognising symptoms such as inability to feed, convulsions, or unconsciousness were more likely to seek care, consistent with evidence linking health literacy to timely care-seeking [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR30\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e30\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR31\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e31\u003c/span\u003e].\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGeographic access was also important. Long distances and transport costs discouraged care-seeking, with caregivers living farther from facilities more likely to delay treatment [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR32\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e32\u003c/span\u003e]. Similar barriers are widely reported across sub-Saharan Africa [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR27\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e27\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR33\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e33\u003c/span\u003e].\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCultural beliefs also shaped behaviour. Caregivers not influenced by cultural beliefs were more likely to utilise formal services, while some still relied on traditional remedies or self-treatment before seeking biomedical care, a pattern common in African settings [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR34\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e34\u003c/span\u003e]. This underscores the need for culturally sensitive health promotion strategies.\u003c/p\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"Sec20\" class=\"Section2\"\u003e \u003ch2\u003eNeed factors influencing healthcare utilisation\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eNeed factors, particularly perceived severity and symptoms, strongly predicted utilisation. Fever was a key driver, as caregivers commonly associate it with serious illness, especially in malaria-endemic settings [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR35\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e35\u003c/span\u003e]. Similar patterns are reported across sub-Saharan Africa, although overall care-seeking may remain low due to barriers such as cost and distance [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR36\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e36\u003c/span\u003e].\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChildren without severe symptoms or danger signs were less likely to be taken for care, reinforcing the role of perceived severity in decision-making.

The cross-sectional design limits the ability to establish causal relationships between the identified determinants and healthcare utilisation. Although associations were observed between predisposing, enabling, and need factors and healthcare use, the temporal sequence between these variables cannot be determined.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe study relied on caregiver self-reported information on childhood illness episodes and care-seeking behaviour, which may be affected by recall bias and social desirability bias. Measurement of illness severity was also based on caregiver perception rather than clinical assessment, which may have introduced some misclassification of symptoms or illness severity.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSome potentially important determinants of healthcare utilisation, such as perceived quality of care, availability of medicines, and provider attitudes, were not examined in detail. In addition, the study was conducted in a rural setting, which may limit the generalisability of the findings to other regions or urban populations with different health systems and socioeconomic contexts.\u003c/p\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"Sec22\" class=\"Section2\"\u003e \u003ch2\u003eStrengths of the Study\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe study provides context-specific evidence on determinants of healthcare utilisation among children under five in rural Uganda using the Andersen Behavioural Model of Health Services Use.

This study investigated the determinants influencing caregiver use of healthcare service utilisation for children under five in rural Budaka District, Uganda, using the Andersen Behavioural Model to understand how child-related, enabling, and need factors influence caregivers\u0026rsquo; decisions when seeking healthcare.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMethods\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eA cross-sectional study was conducted among 369 caregivers in rural Budaka. Data were collected in March 2026 using structured questionnaires and key informant interviews.

Malaria/fever (90.2%) was the most reported illness. In multivariate analysis, the strongest predictors of seeking care were fever (aOR\u0026thinsp;=\u0026thinsp;30.47; p\u0026thinsp;=\u0026thinsp;0.003), rejection of cultural myths (aOR\u0026thinsp;=\u0026thinsp;17.29; p\u0026thinsp;=\u0026thinsp;0.045), persistent vomiting (aOR\u0026thinsp;=\u0026thinsp;9.496; p\u0026thinsp;=\u0026thinsp;0.016), and advice from family or friends (aOR\u0026thinsp;=\u0026thinsp;7.29; p\u0026thinsp;=\u0026thinsp;0.023).\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConclusions\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhile utilisation is relatively high, it is heavily driven by the perceived severity of symptoms.
