THE QUALITY OF LIFE AFTER CESAREAN SECTION
Journal Title: Acta Neuropsychologica - Year 2010, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
With the tremendous advances in medical science cesa - rean section has become increasingly safe and common. Although the number of births that are completed by surgery is steadily increasing, research on quality of life for maternity cases after cesarean section is relatively scarce. In the first part of this article the authors discuss the most important factors affecting the mental state and quality of life of women after cesarean section. We also point to the positive and negative psychological consequences. In the second part we present some features of the concept of quality of life (QOL), especially health-related (HRQOL), and the characteristics commonly used in Poland and elsewhere to measure mental state and quality of life after childbirth.
