The role of expectations, subjective experience, and pain in the recovery from an elective and emergency caesarean section: A structural equation model.

Background: Rapid return to mobilisation and daily function is essential for recovery after an elective and emergency caesarean section, prevention of short- and long-term complications, and mothers' well-being. High pain levels may delay recovery. Considering the biopsychosocial model, recovery is additionally complex and comprises social and psychological aspects.

Postpartum Post-Traumatic Stress Symptoms Following Cesarean Section-the Mediating Effect of Sense of Control.

Our aim is to clarify the differences in post-traumatic symptom levels between women who had emergency cesarean sections (C-sections) and women who had elective ones and investigate the function of sense of control in post-traumatic symptoms development. On the fourth day after the C-section, participants were recruited and completed a demographic and background questionnaire. Six to eight weeks later, they received continuation questionnaires.

Optimal continuous support accompanying labor - the midwives' and laboring women's point of view.

Background: Women who have continuous intrapartum support are more likely to have a shorter labor and spontaneous vaginal birth, and are less likely to need intrapartum analgesia than women who receive usual care without support. We aimed to determine what women in labor and midwives regard as the optimal number of labor supporters and whether they should be present during medical interventions.

Methods: A questionnaire was distributed to midwives participating in a national midwifery conference in June 2015.
