Objective:
We aimed to analyze the birth experience of women with caesarean section (CS) and the influence of clarification. Furthermore weaknesses of care from women’s view should be determined.
Method:
Online survey of women who had at least one CS
Results:
We analyzed data of 383 women. 47,8% women had a primary, 52,2% a secondary CS .
The birth experience ranged from wonderful (13,3%) to gruesome (25,1%). There were significant more women with secondary CS whose birth experience was associated with negative emotions.
Regarded in hindsight for 29,0% the CS was better than expected and 39,6% stated it had been worse than assumed.
Almost half of participants stated having coped (rather) bad with the CS and its concomitants. The opportunity of psychological consultation in hospital or at least addresses to contact when needed were repeatedly required.
In this survey the birth experience as well as the meeting of expectations toward CS depended on the satisfaction with the antenatal discussion by obstetricians and the clarification by medical staff while for antenatal classes no significant influence could be proved.
Conclusions:
A substantial amount of women had a negative birth experience. More effort concerning clarification and patient-centered care is required.
