Study information sources for select type of delivery in pregnant women attending to maternity hospital in Tehran

It is not simple for women to decide the type of delivery and this decision-making would be affected by various factors. The present study is a sectional study seeking to review the data resources regarding the choice of delivery type in pregnant women who visit Tehran’s hospitals. The subjects of the study were 1000 pregnant women attending to Tehran’s hospitals for delivery. The Data were gathered by review and questionnaire. The result of the study showed that 4.1% of pregnant women received their information about delivery type from Radio and Television, 14.7% from family and 13.3% from health participants. There was also a significant statistical connection between job (p=0.001), education level (p=0.001), mothers age (p=0.001), type of the hospital (p=0.001), fear of natural delivery (p=0.032) and the resource of information. According to the connection between various factors and information resources, it seems that giving appropriate information by health participants can play a significant role in promoting the knowledge and view of mothers in this regard.
