Title

Pages

  230-239

Abstract

 Background: IRAN has the second highest rate of CESAREAN SECTION in the world. the corresponding rate in the third metropolitan city of IRAN, Isfahan, is even higher. This paper aimed to assess correlates and DETERMINANTS of intention for CESAREAN SECTION versus normal VAGINAL DELIVERY (NVD) among pregnant women in Isfahan.Methods: A study was conducted among 400 pregnant women aged 18-38 years, with gestational age of 24-40 weeks who attended labor clinics of nine hospitals in Isfahan during June and July 2014. Probability proportional to size was used to estimate the number of cases required to be selected for each hospital. T-test, chi-square and logistic regression analysis were employed to analyze the data.Results: Mean age of women was 26.6±4.4 years. Multivariate analysis identified selected factors as DETERMINANTS of intention for CS. These were "the role of physician" (OR=1.33, p<0.001), "subjective norms" (OR=1.19, p<0.01) and "body Image" (OR= 1.46, p<0.001) upon control of education, income and intended fertility (number of children intended). Moreover, path analysis showed that "attitude towards CESAREAN SECTION" and "individualism" influence CS decision through subjective norm.Conclusion: Choosing CESAREAN SECTION voluntarily is a multifaceted decision which is shaped by various factors; hence, comprehensive interventions are suggested to discourage voluntary CESAREAN SECTION. These interventions need to encompass changes in physicians’ role, social norms, body image and correcting misperceptions among women towards CS and NVD during prenatal courses.
