Introdução: Sabe-se que a cesariana sem indicação clínica está associada a desfechos adversos para a saúde da mulher e de seus filhos a curto e longo prazos. A variação da proporção de cesáreas entre serviços e países não pode ser explicada somente por características inerentes à mulher. Fatores como a fonte de financiamento da assistência também têm forte influência sobre a via de nascimento. Objetivo: Descrever e comparar os fatores socioeconômicos, demográficos, clínicos e obstétricos associados à cesariana entre mulheres assistidas no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) e no setor de saúde suplementar (SSS). Método: Estudo transversal, a partir dos dados do inquérito Nascer no Brasil, referentes à Região Sudeste. A amostra foi composta por puérperas que tiveram recém-nascidos vivos, natimortos (peso 500 gramas e/ou idade gestacional 22 semanas) e parto normal ou cesariana, em hospitais com 500 partos em 2007. A associação entre a cesariana e as variáveis estudadas foi verificada por meio de regressão logística binária univariada e múltipla. Calcularam-se odds ratios (OR) brutas e ajustadas e intervalos de confiança (IC) de 95 por cento . Resultados: A amostra foi composta por 9.828 mulheres. A taxa de cesariana foi de 52,9 por cento , com proporção maior no SSS (84,0 por cento ). Ser adolescente (SUS: OR=0,68; IC 95 por cento 0,57-0,81/SSS: OR=0,48; IC 95 por cento 0,27-0,84) e ter o nascimento assistido em hospitais de alguma das capitais (SUS: OR=0,39; IC 95 por cento 0,34-0,45/SSS: OR=0,48; IC 95 por cento 0,36-0,65) ofereceram chances menores para cesárea nos dois financiamentos. Exercer trabalho remunerado (SUS: OR=1,32; IC 95 por cento 1,16-1,51/SSS: OR=2,94; IC 95 por cento 2,14-4,03), ter cesariana anterior (SUS: OR=22,06 IC 95 por cento 18,33-26,56/SSS: OR=64,48; IC 95 por cento 32,78-126,84), ser primípara (SUS: OR=4,86; IC 95 por cento 4,16-5,69/SSS: OR=8,37; IC 95 por cento 5,96-11,75) e ter apresentado intercorrências durante a gestação (SUS:OR=9,27; IC 95 por cento 8,17-10,53/SSS:OR=3,09; IC 95 por cento 2,22-4,31) representaram chances aumentadas para cesariana entre mulheres assistidas no SUS e no SSS. Estiveram associados independentemente à cesariana, apenas no SUS: ter 35 anos ou mais (OR=1,36; IC 95 por cento 1,09-1,69); ter cursado ensino superior ou mais (OR=2,53; IC 95 por cento 1,78-3,59); não ter companheiro(a) (OR=0,78; IC 95 por cento 0,68-0,90); pertencer às classes econômicas A, B ou C (respectivamente: OR=1,72; IC 95 por cento 1,39-2,12/OR=1,29; IC95 por cento 1,09-1,53) e ter apresentado intercorrências durante o trabalho de parto (OR=3,18; IC 95 por cento 2,62-3,85). Conclusões: A fonte de financiamento foi determinante na indicação da cesariana no SSS, uma vez que se sobrepôs à maioria dos fatores socioeconômicos, demográficos, clínicos e obstétricos. Já no SUS, determinantes sociais referentes à melhor condição socioeconômica se associaram à cesariana. / Introduction: Caesarean section without clinical reason is associated with women and their children adverse outcomes at short and long term. Variation of caesarean section rates among services and countries can not be explained only by women´s characteristics. Payment source has strong influence on the decision of mode of birth. Objective: To describe and compare socioeconomic, demographic, clinical and obstetric factors associated with caesarean section among women in public health system (SUS) and private health care sector (SSS). Methods: Cross-sectional study with Southeast´ data of \"Born in Brazil\" national survey. The sample included women who had live births or stillbirths (weighing 500 g and/or gestational age 22 weeks) and normal or caesarean deliveries, in hospitals with 500 births in 2007. The association between caesarean section and other variables was verified by univariate and multiple binary logistic regression, on which crude and adjusted odds ratios (OR) and confidence intervals (CI) of 95 per cent were calculated. Results: The sample comprised 9,828 women. The caesarean section rate was 52.9 per cent , with higher proportion in SSS (84.0 per cent ). Being an adolescent (SUS: OR=0.68, CI 95 per cent 0.57-0.81/SSS: OR=0.48, CI 95 per cent 0.27-0.84) and having a hospital in a capital city as a place of birth (SUS: OR=0.39, CI 95 per cent 0.34-0.45/SSS: OR=0.48, CI 95 per cent 0.36-0.65) were associated to lower chances of caesarean section in both funding sources. Paid employment (SUS: OR=1.32, CI 95 per cent 1.16-1.51/SSS: OR=2.94, CI 95 per cent 2.14-4.03), a previous caesarean section (SUS: OR=22.06 CI 95 per cent 18.33-26.56/SSS: OR=64.48 CI 95 per cent 32.78-126.84), to be primiparous (SUS: OR=4.86, CI 95 per cent 4.16-5.69/SSS: OR=8.37, CI 95 per cent 5.96-11.75) and complications during pregnancy (SUS:OR=9,27; IC 95 per cent 8,17-10,53/SSS:OR=3,09; IC 95 per cent 2,22-4,31) represented increased chances for caesarean section among women in SUS and SSS. The following variables were independently associated with caesarean section, only in SUS: 35 years old or more (OR=1.36, CI 95 per cent 1.09-1.69); higher education or more (OR=2.53, CI 95 per cent 1.78-3.59); no partner (OR=0.78, CI 95 per cent 0.68-0.90); belonging to A, B or C economic classes (respectively: OR=1.72, CI 95 per cent 1.39-2.12/OR=1.29, CI 95 per cent 1.09-1.53) and complications during labor (OR=3.18, CI 95 per cent 2.62- 3.85). Conclusions: The high proportion of caesarean sections in the SSS demonstrated that this funding source was crucial on caesarean section indications and overcame socioeconomic, demographic, clinical and obstetrical factors. Indicators of better socioeconomic condition were associated to caesarean section in SUS.

Nowadays, women have a wide range of sources of information about childbirth. Women's attitudes toward childbirth are made by sharing experiences between women and in families but also they are based on information from media and internet. Consequently attitudes toward childbirth influence the choice of kind of delivery and women's childbirth experience. These days we can see some trends in obstetrics - the rising interest in natural births, on the one hand, and the rising number of women delivering their babies by cesarean section on the other hand. The goal of this socio-psychologically oriented thesis is to map women's attitudes to these most striking birth trends, and also to identify the reasons for these women's attitudes. The research part is thus focused qualitatively and uses the data from the analysis of the internet discussion forums for mothers. In the previous theoretical part are presented the key information necessary to understand the studied topic, such as the issues of attitudes, the specifics of the communication on the internet discussion forums and above all the current scientific knowledge about the attitudes of women to childbirth in the Czech Republic and the world.

Background: Many women experience childbirth fear to such an extent that it seriously interferes with the woman’s daily life and affects her mental well-being. Aim: The overall aim was to conduct an overview of the midwife-led counselling for childbirth fear in Sweden, to investigate women’s birth preferences and to describe their experiences of treatment on childbirth fear, with focus on midwife-led counselling. Methods: Study I is a cross-sectional study where 43 out of 45 maternity clinics responded to a questionnaire regarding midwife-led counselling. Study II is a longitudinal survey where 889 women participated of whom 70 received counselling. Data were collected by questionnaires in mid-pregnancy, two months and finally, one year after birth. Study III is a randomised controlled study with 258 participating women assessed with childbirth fear. It compares Internet-based cognitive behaviour therapy (ICBT) with midwife-led counselling. Data were collected by questionnaires twice during pregnancy and two months after birth. Study IV is a qualitative interview study using thematic analysis, including 27 women who received midwife-led counselling during pregnancy. Results: Overall, midwife-led counselling was perceived as empowering by the women and increased their confidence when facing birth. The preference for a caesarean section decreased during pregnancy and the majority had a normal vaginal birth but an increase in preference for caesarean section appeared after birth. Half of the women who received treatment for childbirth fear experienced a less than positive birth. Women who had a positive birth experience voiced that the contributing factors were the self-confidence received from counselling and the support from the midwife during birth. Decreased or manageable fear was expressed by the women after counselling and birth, which in turn brought a strengthened confidence for a future pregnancy and birth. Furthermore, major differences exist in counselling for childbirth fear throughout the clinics in Sweden. Conclusion: Midwife-led counselling improved women’s confidence toward giving birth and fear was perceived as manageable. Continuous support is crucial to experience birth as positive. Although women’s preferences for caesarean section did not change over time, few women gave birth with a caesarean section without medial reason.

Au Burkina Faso, le taux populationnel de césariennes reste encore faible (2% en 2012). Cependant, depuis l’exemption partielle (80%) pour les familles du paiement à l’acte en 2006, et la mise à disposition de médecins généralistes, sages-femmes et infirmiers formés à la pratique des césariennes dans les hôpitaux les plus reculés, on observe une augmentation constante des taux de césariennes dans les établissements de santé et il est difficile de savoir si toutes ces interventions sont réellement utiles. L’objectif principal de cette thèse est d’identifier les déterminants d’une césarienne de qualité en Afrique de l’Ouest pour orienter les politiques de santé reproductive dans les pays concernés. Les résultats des travaux menés dans le cadre de cette thèse montrent que le niveau de qualification du personnel de santé travaillant dans les hôpitaux du Burkina Faso et son expérience professionnelle déterminent globalement son niveau de connaissance en matière de gestion du travail et de l’accouchement compliqué. De plus, une supervision régulière de son travail semble améliorer sa performance. Le niveau de qualification du personnel de santé au Burkina Faso influence également la pratique de césariennes non médicalement justifiées. Mais l’environnement social joue aussi un rôle dans cette pratique abusive. Les résultats de cette recherche montrent enfin que la pratique systématique d’une césarienne après une césarienne antérieure n’est pas justifiée dans ce contexte. Les résultats de cette thèse ont permis de développer et de mettre en œuvre un essai d’intervention visant à réduire des césariennes sans raison médicale en Afrique de l’ouest. / In Burkina Faso, the national caesarean section rate is still low (2% in 2012). However, since the introduction of caesarean user fee exemption in 2006 and the availability of trained staff to perform a caesarean section in the most remote hospitals, the institutional caesareans rates have risen steadily and it is unclear whether all of these interventions are necessary. The main objective of this thesis is to identify the determinants of an optimal practice of caesarean section in three western African countries that favour access to caesarean section. The results of the work carried out in the framework of this thesis show that the level of qualification of the health personnel working in Burkina Faso hospitals and his professional experience determine globally his level of knowledge in the management of labor and complicated childbirth. . In addition, regular supervision of his work by daily review of clinical records (partograms) seems to improve his performance. The level of qualification of health personnel in Burkina Faso also influences the practice of non-medically justified caesareans. But the social environment also plays a role in this abusive practice. The results of this research show that the systematic practice of cesarean section after an anterior caesarean section is not justified in this context. The results of this thesis led to the development and implementation of a multi-faceted intervention trial aimed at reducing caesareans without medical reason in West Africa.

Solicitud de embargo por publicación en revista indexada. / INTRODUCCIÓN: La lactancia materna exclusiva (LME) es la nutrición primordial del infante. El tipo de parto puede impactar en los conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas (CAP) de la LME. OBJETIVO: Evaluar la relación entre tipo de parto y CAP de LME de mujeres en edad fértil con hijos menores de 6 meses de edad en un hospital de Perú. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: Este estudio transversal analítico estuvo conformado por 126 mujeres con antecedente de parto vaginal (PV) y parto por cesárea (PC) que acudieron a cuatro consultorios externos del hospital. El instrumento consistió en un extracto del cuestionario nacional para datos sociodemográficos y un extracto del Manual CAP relacionado a la LME. RESULTADOS: El 61.9% tuvo PC. No se encontró relación significativa entre tipo de parto con conocimientos (p=0.574), actitudes (p =0.068) y prácticas (p=0.574) de LME. Las madres de 31 a 49 años (58.8%, p=0.032), casadas (63.6%, p=0.028) y universitarias (49.3%, p=0.026) tuvieron mayor nivel de conocimientos sobre LME. Los recién nacidos recibieron en su mayoría LME (71.2%, p=0.047). CONCLUSIÓN: No hubo diferencias de CAP según tipo de parto; esto podría deberse a una buena estrategia de salud en el cuidado postnatal hospitalario. La edad materna, el nivel de instrucción y el estado civil se encuentran relacionados al nivel de conocimiento de LME. Además, la edad del infante se encuentra relacionada a las prácticas exclusivas de lactancia materna. / INTRODUCTION: Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) is the primordial nutrition of the infant. The type of delivery can impact knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) of EBF. OBJECTIVE: To assess the relationship between type of delivery and KAP of EBF in fertile women with children under 6 months of age in a hospital in Peru. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This analytical cross-sectional study consisted of 126 women with a history of vaginal delivery (VD) and cesarean delivery (CD) who attended to four outpatient offices of the hospital. The instrument consisted of an extract from the National Demographic and Family Health Survey (ENDES) and an extract from the KAP Manual related to EBF. RESULTS: Between the women, 61.9% had CD. No significant relationship was found between type of delivery with knowledge (p = 0.574), attitudes (p = 0.068) and practices (p = 0.574) of EBF. Mothers from 31 to 49 years old (58.8%, p = 0.032), married (63.6%, p = 0.028) and university students (49.3%, p = 0.026) had a higher level of knowledge about EBF. Most of the newborns received EBF (71.2%, p = 0.047). CONCLUSIONS: There were no differences in KAP according to type of delivery; this could be due to a good health strategy in the hospital postnatal care. Maternal age, educational level and marital status are related to the level of knowledge of EBF. In addition, the age of the infant is related to the exclusive practices of breastfeeding. / Tesis

Introducción: Durante los últimos 5 años, se ha registrado un aumento de la tasa de cesáreas a nivel mundial. En el año 2018 la tasa de cesárea en el Perú fue de 34,5%. A pesar de las complicaciones que podría haber en la madre y el recién nacido, es una de las cirugías más comunes en el mundo. Además, es una de las causas de resultados anormales en los tamizajes auditivos neonatales. La agudeza auditiva disminuida puede ser discapacitante, el 7,3% de la población mundial infantil sufre de esto, afectando el desarrollo de los afectados. Es por esto que es importante identificar aquellos niños en riesgo para brindarles diagnóstico precoz y tratamiento oportuno. Objetivo: Evaluar la asociación entre haber nacido por parto cesárea y el desarrollo de agudeza auditiva disminuida en niños de Perú de la cohorte menor seguidos desde el 2001-2002 por 15 años según el estudio “Young Lives-Niños del Milenio”. Metodología: Se realizó un análisis secundario de los niños del Perú que se encontraban en la base de datos de “Young Lives - Niños del Milenio”. La exposición fue nacer por parto cesárea y el desenlace fue agudeza auditiva disminuida, medida como incidencia acumulada en 4 rondas del estudio. Se calcularon riesgos relativos (RR) crudos y ajustados con un IC 95%, usando modelos lineales generalizados (GLM) familia Poisson con varianzas robustas por conglomerados. Resultados: Se estudiaron 2,052 niños, de los cuales el 12,2% nacieron por cesárea. Se registró una incidencia acumulada de agudeza auditiva disminuida de 7,7%. Se encontró que aquellos niños nacidos por cesárea podrían tener 34% menor riesgo de desarrollar agudeza auditiva disminuida (IC95% 0,44-0,99). Además, se halló que los niños que pesaron 4,000 gramos o más al nacer podrían tener 96% más riesgo de desarrollar agudeza auditiva disminuida (IC95% 1,24-3,09). No se encontró asociación significativa entre otras variables y nacer por parto cesárea. Conclusión: El nacer por parto cesárea podría ser un factor protector para el desarrollo de problemas auditivos, mientras que el pesar 4,000 gramos o más al nacer, podría ser factor de riesgo. / Introduction: During the last 5 years, there has been an increase in the rate of caesarean sections worldwide. In 2018, the cesarean section rate in Peru was 34,5%. It is one of the most common surgeries in the world, despite the complications for mother and newborn. In addition, it is one of the reasons for abnormal results in neonatal hearing screening. Decreased hearing acuity can be disabling, 7,3% of the world's child population suffers from this, putting at risk the development of those affected. That’s why it is important to identify those children at risk to provide them with early diagnosis and timely treatment. Objectives: Evaluate the association between cesarean section delivery and hearing loss development among Peruvian children followed from 2001-2002 during 15 years in the “Young Lives – Niños del Milenio” cohort. Methods: We made a secondary analysis of Peruvian children in the database of "Young Lives – Niños del Milenio". The exposure was being delivered by cesarean section and the outcome was decreased hearing acuity, measured as cumulative incidence in 4 study rounds. Crude and adjusted relative risks (RR) with a 95% CI were calculated using Poisson family generalized linear models (GLM) with robust variances by clusters. Results: 2,052 children were studied, out of these 12,2% were born by cesarean section. The cumulative incidence of decreased hearing acuity was 7,7%. It was found that those children born by caesarean section could have a 34% lower risk of developing reduced hearing acuity (95% CI 0,44-0,99). In addition, it was found that children who weighed 4,000 grams or more at birth could have a 96% higher risk of developing reduced hearing acuity (95% CI 1,24-3,09). No significant association was found between other variables and birth by cesarean section. Conclusion: Cesarean section delivery could be a protective factor for the development of hearing loss, while weighing 4,000 grams or more at birth could be a risk factor. / Tesis

Bakgrund: Var sjätte barn föds idag med hjälp av kejsarsnitt i Sverige. Ett urakut kejsarsnitt genomförs när situationen är mycket kritisk och barnet måste ut så fort som möjligt för att rädda barnets eller mammans hälsa och liv. Det finns många risker med kejsarsnitt, men vid ett urakut kejsarsnitt övervägs dess fördelar. Patientsäkerhet såsom sterilitet är operationssjuksköterskans främsta kompetensområde under ett operativt ingrepp. Det höga arbetstempot som förekommer under mycket akuta operationer gör att omständigheter och prioriteringar ändras vilket påverkar rutinerna och patientsäkerheten. Att arbeta under dessa förhållanden påverkar även operationspersonalen. Motiv: Få studier tar upp operationssjuksköterskans perspektiv av ett urakut kejsarsnitt. Operationssjuksköterskans upplevelser, tankar och känslor är viktiga då dessa faktorer kan drabba patientsäkerheten under operation. Kunskap om faktorerna kan hjälpa till att utveckla strategier för att förebygga och hantera komplikationer som dessa kan medföra. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att beskriva operationssjuksköterskans erfarenhet vid urakut kejsarsnitt.   Metod: Semistrukturerade individuella intervjuer genomfördes med operationssjuksköterskor (n=12) som har erfarenhet av urakut kejsarsnitt. Intervjuerna analyserades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys.  Resultat: Majoriteten av de intervjuade operationssjuksköterskorna hade liknande erfarenheter i relation till urakut kejsarsnitt. Fyra kategorier identifierades: tidspress, teamarbete, egen erfarenhet och förbättringsarbete. Kategorierna hade ett gemensamt övergripande tema där livet prioriteras. Konklusion: Studien ger ökad kunskap om operationssjuksköterskans erfarenheter vid ett urakut kejsarsnitt där både svårigheter och möjligheter lyfts. Tid, teamarbete och kompetens identifieras som faktorer som påverkar upplevelsen. Utbildning och postoperativt stöd lyftes som möjliga förbättringar men vidare forskning inom ämnet är nödvändigt för att hitta fungerande strategier. / Background: Every sixth child is born with a caesarean section today in Sweden. An emergency caesarean section is performed as the situation is very critical and the child has to be born as soon as possible to save the child’s or the mother’s health and life. There are many risks with a caesarean section, but in care of an emergency caesarean section, the benefits are greater. During an operation, patient security such as sterility is the operating room nurse’s main area of competence. The high pace of work that occurs during an emergency surgery means that the circumstances and the priorities change, which affect the routines and the patient safety. Working during these conditions also affect the surgical team.  Motive: There are few studies that address the operating room nurse’s perspective of an emergency caesarean section. The operating room nurse’s experiences, thoughts and feelings are important as these factors can affect the patient safety during surgery. This knowledge can help to develop strategies to prevent and manage complications that these can cause. Aim: The aim of this study is to describe the operating room nurse’s experience in emergency caesarean section.  Methods: Semi-structured individual interviews have been conducted with operating room nurses (n=12) with experience in emergency caesarean section. The interviews were analyzed with qualitative content analysis. Result: The majority of the interviewed operating room nurses had similar experiences and opinions in relation to emergency caesarean section.  Four categories were identified: time pressure, teamwork, individual experience and improvements. The categories had a theme in common: life is a priority. Conclusion: The study provides increased knowledge about the operating room nurse’s experiences in an emergency caesarean section where both difficulties and opportunities are highlighted. Time, teamwork and competence are identified as factors that affect the experience. Education and postoperative support were highlighted as possible improvements but futher reseach in the subject is necessary to find useful strategies.

The study explored cultural perspectives of the Zimbabwean Ndebele on alternative modes of childbirth. A qualitative generic, exploratory and descriptive design guided the study. The problem is that alternative modes of birthing are not acceptable to the Zimbabwean Ndebele. Women who give birth through alternative modes of birthing, which include caesarean section (CS) instrumental deliveries (ID) and any other unnatural modes are stigmatised. Data were collected from purposively selected samples of women who had given birth through alternative modes of birthing, spouses, mothers-in-law, community elders, sangomas (traditional healers) and traditional birth attendants (TBAs) using individual unstructured in-depth interviews, structured interviews and focus group interviews (FGIs). Data were analysed through use of qualitative content analysis which involved verbatim transcripts. Interpretations of narrations of data and script reviewing were done while simultaneously listening to audio-tapes which were transcribed in the IsiNdebele the language that was used to collect data. Data were then translated into English to accommodate all readers. Accounts of all the informants that were interviewed point to effects of supernatural ancestral powers, infidelity and use of traditional and herbal medicines as cause for “tiedness” (labour complications), a concept that showed a strong thread throughout the study. Study findings illuminated that traditional practices are culture-bound and the desire is to perpetuate the valued culture. Recommendations made from the study are; cultural orientation of local and foreign health workers, cultural consultation and collaboration with sangomas (traditional healers) and particular recognition of the significance of the study as a cultural heritage of the Zimbabwean Ndebele society. Further research on how women and their spouses cope with the grieving process after experiencing the crisis and grief following CS is recommended. With all the recommended areas addressed, Zimbabwean Ndebele would find alternative modes of birthing acceptable. / Health Studies / D. Lit. et Phil. (Health Studies)

Survey on maternal satisfaction in receiving spinal anesthesia for Cesarean section / A quantitative descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the maternal satisfaction after the experience of spinal anaesthesia for Caesarean section in one public hospital of Gauteng Province in South Africa. Data were collected by administering a questionnaire which included the demographic profile and satisfaction score in terms of perioperative elements to 82 women in their postoperative period. Analysis of data was performed by The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 13 and Excel 2010 was used for tabular and graphical illustrations. The findings revealed that the majority of women studied were black (95,1%), not married (73,2%) and unemployed (64,6%). The levels of maternal satisfaction in terms of intraoperative, postoperative and other perioperative elements were high, at 94,4%, 90,3% and 85,4% respectively. The lowest percentage (76,8%) was found for the maternal satisfaction about the preoperative explanation. The overall level of maternal satisfaction in this study was 86,7%. The majority of women (82,9%) would opt for spinal anaesthesia in future, while 6,1% would not accept it and 11,0% were not sure if they would opt for it or not. / Health Studies / M.A. (Public Health)
