Chapter One
THE PERCEPTION AND STATION OF PREGNANT WOMEN IN OREDO ORIGINAL GOVERNMENT TOWARDS CESAREAN SECTION
Preface
Background Of Study
gestation as a physiologic state is anticipated to lead to a process of delivery within thirty six weeks( 36) of gravidity in a normal delivery but due to the different reasons similar as variation in mortal body, sizes, races, external factorse.t.c, it can be a veritably unwelcome experience as women may have difficulties in being delivered of the gestation they’ve carried over numerous weeks.
Hence, to save the life of both mama and child in some cases, a cesarean section. A cesarean section also known as C/ S is an operation fashion by which a fetus is delivered through an suggestions can either be motherly or fetal. The trend of adequacy and the rate of C/ S has been on the increase in the developed countries in the once two decades. In the United State of America, it has revolved off a32.8 in 2010 and 2011( Hamilton BE, Martin JA, Ventura SJ, 2010). Several cesarean sections are occasionally done for maintainable medical andnon-medical suggestions sequently the rate of C/ S in Europe and North America have been adding ( Declercq ER, Sakela C, Corry MP, 2013).
Again, in the developing countries, the change in C/ S rate has been dramatic during the same period. This results from negative perception of C/ S among women in the developing countries. C/ S is still being perceived as an abnormal means of delivery by some women in developing countries, hence C/ S rate inSub-Saharan African Country like Burkina Faso and Niger is as low as 2( Sunday Adeoje I, Kalu CA, 2011).
Among women in the developing countries, C/ S is still being perceived as a curse on an sterile women and the lot of weak women. In a study among Yoruba women of South western Nigeria, C/ S was viewed with suspicious, aversion, misconception, fear, guilt misery and wrathfulness.( Sunday- Adeoje et al, 2011).
In Nigeria, as in utmostsub-Saharan African countries, it has been suggested that women reluctantly accept C/ S indeed in the face of egregious clinical suggestions. Also, negative view and perception of C/ S by women in the developing country has led to gross underathizetlien of the procedure compared to the large burden of obstetric morbid taking resolution by C/ S( AzikenMicheal, Lawrence Omo- Aghoja 2010).
Statement Of Problem
Nigerian has been rated the third country with the loftiest mortality rate after India and Sierra Leone with over 40,000 dths of pregnant women 2012( WHO 2013).
Unfortunately, despite the well proved record of safety, the strong aversion of women insub-Saharan Africa tot eh procedure especially in the presence of life hanging suggestions is a great concern( Awoyinka BS, 2006). Hence the experimenter wants to assess the perception and station of cases at the prenatal clinic to know if it’s accepted or not and the factors that influences their stations towards cesarean section.
