摘要
Objectives: To assess the prevalence of satisfaction, and associated factors, among parturients who had recently delivered by cesarean. Methods: In a descriptive cross-sectional study, women who delivered by cesarean at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital, Nigeria, were enrolled between April and July 2010. A simple, qualitative, semi-structured researcher-administered questionnaire was used for data collection. Data analysis was done via SPSS version 16. Results: Among 220 women who delivered by cesarean, 211 women were enrolled in the study and were interviewed 2-5 days after delivery. The mean age was 30.8 +/- 5.1 years, and the median parity was 1. An initial negative reaction to the decision for cesarean delivery was reported by 76% of respondents, 19% were indifferent, and 5% reported an initial positive reaction. Satisfaction with delivery by cesarean was reported by 80% of the respondents. Satisfaction with cesarean delivery was significantly associated with age, level of education, initial reaction to the decision for cesarean delivery, and elective cesarean. Conclusion: Most parturients expressed overall satisfaction after delivery by cesarean. There is a need for in-depth studies in low-income countries to further evaluate satisfaction with regard to various aspects of the cesarean delivery experience.
