- Abstract
Information counseling can be an appropriate way to reduce the number of unnecessary cesarean cases. This study was a before and after clinical trial conducted in the 28 weeks' gestation with non-medical indication of a cesarean delivery (CD). The awareness of delivery modes, the decision for delivery modes, understanding the risks of delivery modes and self-efficiency were improved by counseling intervention (p<0.01). The implementation of information counseling has an effect on encouraging women to change their decision patterns to reduce CD. Some factors, especially the constant recommendation of physicians of CD as a programmable and convenient delivery, undermine the role of these interventions.
