ÖZETAmaç: Bizim amacımız kadınların vajinal doğum, sezeryan doğum seçimindeki etmenleri belirlemek ve elektif sezeryan ile doğuma bakış açılarını belirlemektir.Yöntemler: Çalışmamıza antenatal bakım için başvuran 400 sağlıklı kadın aldık. Çalışmamızda yüz yüze soru cevap şeklinde 21 soru içeren bir anket formu kullandık ve formda doğum şekli seçimleri ve buna etkileyen faktörler ile ilgili sorular sorduk. Daha önceki doğum şekillerine göre hastaları daha önce hiç doğurmamış/nullipar (grup 1), daha once sadece vajinal doğum yapmış olanlar (grup 2) ve daha önce en az 1 sezaryen doğum yapmış olanlar (grup 3) olarak ayırdık. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan 400 kadının 348 i (%87) vajinal doğum 52 si (%13) ise sezeryan doğumu tercih etti. Sezeryan ile doğumu tercih etme oranları grup 3 te( %47.5) grup 1(%26) ve 2(%2.7) ye göre daha yüksekti. Her 3 grupta da vajinal doğumu tercih etmenin ana nedenleri 'daha az ağrı, hızlı ve kolay iyileşme, anne için daha az kanama ve enfeksiyon riski' idi. Sezeryan doğu-mu tercih etmenin ana nedenleri ise grup 1 de daha konforlu ve kolay olması iken grup 3 te tüp ligasyonu isteği idi. Daha az ağrı ve epizyotomiden korku ise diğer ana nedenlerdendi.Sonuç: Sezeryan oranlarını azaltmak ve normal doğum oranlarını arttırmak için kadınların eğitilmesi ve ileri anne yaşına sahip kadınların yeterli ve doğru bilgilendirilmesi gerekmektedir.Anahtar kelimeler: Sezaryen, doğum şekli, hasta tercihi, vajinal doğum ABSTRACT Objective: Our aim is to identify the causes of the women's preferences of vaginal delivery vs. cesarean section and their attitudes for an elective cesarean section.Methods: 400 healthy woman who had applied for antenatal care were included in the study. A questionnaire which is consisted of 21 questions, focused on preference toward mode of delivery and the etiology of these preferences was conducted as a face to face interview. According to history of delivery methods, women have separated into three groups as; women have never given birth/nulliparous (group 1), women who had only vaginal deliveries (group 2), and women who had at least one cesarean deliveries/previous cesarean section (group 3). Results:Of the 400 women questioned, 348 (%87) opted for vaginal delivery, whereas only 52 (%13) opted for an elective caesarean delivery. Ratios of cesarean delivery preference is high in group 3 (%47.5) than group 1( %26) and 2 (%2.7) . Main reasons for vaginal delivery preference: feeling of less pain, fast and easy recovery and less bleeding and infection risc for mothers were the most common preference reasons among all 3 groups. The most common reasons for choosing caesarean delivery were: 'more comfortable and easy' in group 1 and 'tubal ligation demand' in group 3. 'Less pain' and 'fear of tearing (episiotomy)' also other common reasons for choosing cesarean delivery among all 3 groups. Conclusion:In order to reduce the rate of implemented cesarean section, it is substantially important to encourage educated women and those who have experienced advanced maternal age for increasin...

Background and objective: Childbirth fear is a major problem for women, as it results in avoidance of maternity, women & fetal stress and raise in women requests for cesarean delivery. The aim of this study is to investigate factors associated with fear of childbirth (FOC), and its effect on women's preference for elective cesarean section (CS). Methods: Design: Cross sectional descriptive design. Setting: Study conducted at five obstetrical and gynecological private clinics in El-Mahalla El-Kobra city. Subjects: A purposive sample consisted of 205 pregnant women selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Tools: Three tools were used for data collection (Structured Interview Questionnaire, Melender (2002) Questionnaire to measure childbirth fear associated factors and Childbirth Attitudes Questionnaire). Results: Revealed that 47.8% of pregnant women preferred elective CS. Fear of vaginal birth, safer mode for the baby, no influence on postpartum sexual life and pain associated with delivery were the most reasons for CS preference. Childbirth factor was the highest factor associated with FOC with mean ± SD 12.439 ± 3.949. Fear of pain, episiotomy and lacerations were the highest sub factors representative for childbirth factor (89.3%, 83.9%, and 82.4% respectively). The highest cause of FOC was negative mood with mean ± SD 13.302 ± 3.500. 50.0% of pregnant women with high FOC preferred CS. Conclusions and recommendations: Childbirth factor was the highest factor associated with FOC. Fear of pain, episiotomy and lacerations were the highest sub factors representative for childbirth factor associated with FOC. Pregnant women with high fear of childbirth preferred cesarean section. Recommendations: Undertaking information, education and communication programs to increase awareness of the women, husbands, health providers and society about childbirth fear and its effect on cesarean section preference in order to decrease elective cesarean section rate.
