Knowledge and attitude towards anesthesia for cesarean section and its associated factors among pregnant women attending antenatal care: A cross sectional study

BackgroundCesarean section is an effective technique for preventing maternal and perinatal mortality when performed properly. Evidence suggested that pregnant women who have had good knowledge about their condition are able to participate in shared decision-making and can alleviate fears related to anesthesia. However, only a few studies have been conducted in Ethiopia assess the level of knowledge and attitude of pregnant women towards anesthesia for cesarean section. MethodsA hospital based cross-sectional study was conducted from April 18 to June 25, 2021. A total of 362 pregnant women attending antenatal care were selected using a systematic random sampling technique. Face-to-face interviews were used to collect data using pretested and structured questionnaires. For statistical analysis, both bivariate and multivariable binary logistic regression models were used. The adjusted odds ratio was used as the measure of association. At the 95% confidence level, a p-value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. ResultsA total of 354 pregnant women from the ANC clinic participated, with a response rate of 97.8%. The overall proportion of good knowledge and a positive attitude towards anesthesia for cesarean section was 56.5% (95% CI: 51.4%, 61.9%) and 50.8% (95% CI: 45.8%, 56.2%), respectively. Pregnant women who had previous operations (AOR = 4.47, 95% CI: 1.77, 11.32) and had anesthesia-related health information (AOR = 10.06, 95% CI: 5.41, 18.69) had significantly better knowledge of anesthesia for cesarean section. Pregnant women who had secondary education (AOR = 6.71, 95% CI: 1.19, 37.99), college and above education (AOR = 13.63, 95% CI: 2.26, 82.21), and had health information about anesthesia (AOR = 2.02, 95% CI: 1.09, 3.77) significantly associated with a positive attitude towards anesthesia for CS. ConclusionThis finding indicates that a significant number of pregnant women continue to have inadequate knowledge and attitudes towards anesthesia for CS. Previous operations and anesthesia-related health information were significantly associated with knowledge, whereas higher education and anesthesia-related health information were significantly associated with a positive attitude towards anesthesia for cesarean section. Health professionals must provide anesthesia-related health information to mothers with CS indications during ANC visits and in operating theater areas.

Assessment of Knowledge and Attitude of Pregnant Women towards Dental Diagnostic Radiation Hazards: A Cross-sectional Study

Introduction: Pregnancy is associated with reduced immunity and greater susceptibility to infection than any other population. According to the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), thousands of pregnant women are exposed to diagnostic medical ionising radiation each year. The effects of radiation exposure can be classified as deterministic or stochastic. The deterministic effects occur principally above a threshold dose, reflecting cell death. The stochastic effect occurs sometimes after exposure and is mainly represented by radiation-induced cancer. Aim: To evaluate the knowledge and attitude towards dental radiation hazards among pregnant women visiting a tertiary healthcare centre. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional, self-designed and structured 15-item questionnaire study was conducted among 84 pregnant women to assess their knowledge and awareness about radiation hazards at Mahatma Gandhi Medical College, Puducherry, India, from January 2021 to June 2021. The data was collected and statistically analysed using the Chi-square test. The percentage, mean, and standard deviation were calculated for each participant. Cronbach’s alpha test was used to assess the reliability of the questionnaire and inter-item statistics. Results: The study population consisted of pregnant women with an age range of 20 to 35 years, with a mean age of 27.7 years. The result showed 15 (17.9%) of pregnant women knew that X-rays are harmful to the foetus and 10 (11.9%) of pregnant women were aware that they should reveal their pregnancy status before undergoing dental radiographic procedures. Conclusion: On an average, 40-80% of pregnant women had a lack of knowledge about dental radiation hazards and their effects, which clearly shows that there is a need for educating pregnant women about the hazards and risks associated with radiation exposure.

Enema Administration During Labor: Pregnant Women's Perspective and Knowledge.

Current evidence does not support the routine use of rectal enemas (REs) because they have not been associated with reduced rates of puerperal infection, degree of perineal tear, or duration of labor. A recent literature review recognized knowledge gaps regarding the uses of RE during labor including women's perceptions, pain, and satisfaction. To report pregnant women's knowledge, attitudes, perceptions, pain, and satisfaction associated with the use of RE during labor.

Women were included if they were 37 weeks or more pregnant, had a viable pregnancy, were admitted in labor, and had an RE. Characteristic data and data about knowledge, perceptions, attitudes, pain, and satisfaction associated with its use were recorded. Women were regrouped based on their level of knowledge into low- and high-level groups. Attitudes, perceptions, inconveniences, pain, and satisfaction were regrouped into two categories: low and high on the Likert scale. A total of 300 women were recruited, with means (SD) for age and gestational age of 27.8 (4.8) years, and 40 (1.1) weeks, respectively, and 45.7% were knowledgeable or very knowledgeable, 76% had a positive attitude, and 88.7% perceived enemas as important. The mean scores (SD) for pain and satisfaction as measured on visual analogue scales were 1.5 (1.8) and 5.4 (1.8), respectively. Women with high knowledge about RE were older and multiparous. Recruited women were more likely to report lower inconvenience and pain scores and higher satisfaction scores (all P<.05). Most recruited women were knowledgeable about REs, perceived them as important, and expressed a positive attitude toward their administration. The low levels of inconvenience, pain, and complications and the high satisfaction rates may be used when counseling women about when an RE is required during labor.
