6. BRIEF RESUME OF INTENDED WORK
Introduction:
‘The most successful man in life is the man who has the best information the
only thing more expensive than education is ignorance”.
- K. Park
The word "Caesarean" is derived from the Latin word "Caedore" which means
"to cut". French obstetrician, Francois Mauriceau first reported casearean section in
1668. It was Max Sanger in 1882, first sutured the uterine wall.1
Caesarean section is described as being an operative procedure that is carried
out under anesthesia where by the fetus, placenta and membranes are delivered
through an incision in the abdominal wall and the uterus. This is usually carried out
after viability has been reached (24 weeks of gestation onwards). 2
There are two types of caesarean section. Elective and emergency. In elective
caesarean section when the operation is done at a pre arranged time during pregnancy
to ensure the best quality of obstetrics, an aesthesia, neonatal resuscitation and nursing
services.1
The world health organization estimates that the rate of caesarean
section between 10% and 15% of all births in developed countries. In 2004, the
caesarean section rate was 20% in the United Kingdom, while the Canadian rate was
22.5% in 2001-2002. In the United States the caesarean section rate has risen to 46%.
Since 1996, reaching level of 30.2% in 2005.3
A study was conducted to estimate the population caesarean section rate in
urban India. Total population caesarean section rate was 32.6% (95% CI 27-38) and
primary caesarean section rate was 25 %( 95%CI 20-30). Total caesarean section rate
in the public, charitable and private sector were 20%, 38% and 47%. Private sector
deliveries had an odds ratio of 2.4 (95%CI 1.5,3.8) of a primary caesarean section
delivery in comparison with the public sector after adjustment for parity, age at
delivery of mothers and educational status.4
3
In Jordan, caesarean sections increased consistently from 8.5% in 1990, to
12.9% in 1997 to 17.8% in 2002. The rate of increase in cesarean section delivery
was slightly higher in private hospitals than in public one.5
Currently the incidence is nearly 18% for first time mothers, over 70%
for repeat procedures (DHHS 2000). This rates results from the combination of the
increased safety of caesarean birth and the use of fetal monitors, which provide for
early detection of fetal problems (Grumble and Greedy 2000) . Caesarean section rate
increase may also be related to the phenomenon that physicians skilled in doing
caesarean sections have less experience with other methods.6
Over the last 20 Years there has been increasing in the rate of caesarean
section in India. A collaborative study done by the Indian council of medical research
(ICMR), in 1980’s showed a caesareans section rate was 13.8% in teaching hospitals.
This has risen significantly. The overall rate showed to increase from 21.8% in 1993-
94 to 25.4% in 1998-1999. In that 42.4% were primigravidas and 31% had come from
rural areas.7
Caesarean section delivery related complications have been increasing
worldwide. Specially in 18 selected states. In India According to National Family
Health Survey in 1992-93 Goa (15.3%) and Kerala (13.7%) were the two states with
relatively higher caesarean section rates. There is reason to believe that current rates
are Part of a rising trend. In Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Gujarat, Karnataka, Punjab and
Uttar Pradesh the risk of undergoing caesarean section in private sector institutions is
four or more times that in the public sector.8
Caesarean births are not without complications both for mother and
fetus. Maternal complications occur in 25% of births. Proper post operative care will
reduce the incidence.9
A retrospective analysis of maternal deaths following caesarean section,
sepsis was the single most important cause of maternal death (81.5%).10
Currently, caesarean section delivery as a prophylactic measure, to
alleviate problems of birth conditions such as cephalopelvic disproportion, failed
induction or failure to progress in labour and obstructive, benign or malignant tumor.6
4
There are two types of indications for elective caesarean section, namely
definite indications such as cephalopelvic disproportion, major degree of placenta
praevia and high order multiple pregnancy and possible indications such as breech
presentation, moderate to severe pre-eclampsia, a medical condition that warrants the
exclusion of maternal effort, diabetes mellitus, intrauterine growth restriction,
antepartum haemorrhage and certain fetal abnormalities (hydrocephalus).2
Child birth is considered a multidimensional experience. Labour and
child birth includes intense physical, emotional, social, cultural and spiritual elements
that may be critical to an individual women experience of this major life events11.
Post operative caesarean section complications are postpartum
hemorrhage, Shock, an aesthetic hazards, infections, intestinal obstruction,
thromboembolic disorders, wound complications, (wound sepsis, frank pus,
haematoma, and dehiscence) secondary postpartum hemorrhage.1
Before beginning teaching, assess how much the woman already knows
about the caesarean section surgery. Answer all specific questions and fill in gaps in
knowledge. Explain preoperative measures that will be necessary such as surgical
skin preparations, eating nothing before the time of surgery, premeditations and
method of transport, throughout teaching, use visual aids as necessary.6
The post-operative period extends from the time the Patient leaves the
operating room until the follow-up visit with the surgeon. This period may be as short
as one week or as long as several months. During the post-operative period, nursing
care is directed at re-establishing the patients physiological equilibrium, alleviating
pain, preventing complications and teaching the patients self care.12
6.1 NEED FOR THE STUDY:-
5
A 2008, United States report found that fully one third of babies born in
Massachesetts in 2006 were delivered by caesarean section. Among developing
countries, Brazil has one of the highest rates of caesarean section in the world. In
public health network, the rate reaches 35% while in private hospitals the rate
approaches 80%.3
Rates of caesarean section are of concern in both developed and
developing countries. They estimate the proportion of births by caesarean section at
national, regional and global levels. The analysed nationally representative data
available from surveys or vital registration systems on the proportion of births by
caesarean section. They used local non-parametric regression techniques to correlate
caesarean section with maternal mortality ration, infant and neonatal mortality rates,
and the proportion of births attended by skilled health personnel. 15% of births world
wide occurs by caesarean section. Latin America and the caesarean section shows the
highest rate (29.2%) and Africa shows the lowest (3.5%).13
A study was conducted to examine etiology and preventability of maternal
death and the causal relationship of caesarean delivery. Ninety Five maternal deaths
occurred in 1,461,270 pregnancies (6.5 per 1.00,000 pregnancies). The rate of
maternal death causally related to mode of delivery was 0.2 per 1,00,000 for vaginal
birth and 2.2 per 1,00,000 for caesarean delivery.14
A study was conducted to determine the prevalence and correlates of
caesarean deliveries. The rate of caesarean section was 26.4% and correlated with
socio-demographic, obstetrical and provider related variables. This study showed
an increased caesarean section rate in a middle income country and identifies the
correlates of women delivering by the abdominal route.15
A study was conducted on the voice of patients for improving caesarean
delivery care methods the women who had received caesarean section filled out
questionnaire survey few days after caesarean section. This study results showed that
all pregnant women and family, the medical staff should offer correct information
concerning caesarean section at the early stage.16
A study was conducted to analyze the frequency of post operative
complications following elective and emergency caesarean delivery. In 574 planned
6
caesarean section case post operative complication was 1.4% while in 292 emergency
caesarean section it was 2.05% (P>0.05). It is a major surgical procedure
characterized with morbidity even if performed as a planned procedure. The risk of
complications seems to be higher in cases of repeated caesarean section.17
A study was conducted to estimate the relative risk of post-partum
complication by type of delivery. The results indicate that the incidence of major
puerperal infection, thromboembolic events, anesthetic complications and obstetrical
surgical wound infection was higher among women undergoing a caesarean section as
compared to those with vaginal delivery. These findings are of particular relevance in
light of the substantial proportion of repeat caesarean sections performed on an
elective basis.18
Maternal deaths from caesarean sections was exceptionally high and
result from avoidable causes such as hemorrhagic shock, sepsis and hypertensive
disorders in pregnancy. Increased involvement of specialists in the care and improved
intra and post-operative management of cases was advocated to reduce the higher
maternal mortality rate.19
A study was conducted to examine the annual incidence and secular
trend of caesarean births. The results from 1987 to 1999 the over all annual caesarean
section rate rise steadily from 16.6 to 27.4 per 100 hospital deliveries, resulting in a
65% increase over 12 years. The mean difference in rates of surgical delivery
between public (mean (public) = 16.0%) and private (mean (private) =43.4%)
institutions was 27.4% (95% confidence interval (CI) = 24.1, 30.7, P<0.001). 20
The national sentinel caesarean section Audit 2001 show that caesarean
section rates in 2000 were highest in Wales, at 24.2% in 2000 and in Northern Ireland,
at 23.9% in 2000-1.2
There are many reasons for the increase in caesarean section rates.
These may be attributed to both technological and social changes. The expectation is
perhaps that every pregnancy should have a healthy outcome (silverton 1993), perhaps
the more, so because many women work full time and are choosing to delay and
restrict the number of pregnancies they have. (Call Wood and Thomas 2008). Fear of
litigation may be a reason for early recourse to caesarean birth.2
7
Women who deliver by caesarean birth have an additional care concern
in the immediate post partal period, because they are not only post partal patients but
post surgical ones as well. Due to the strain of the unexpected procedure, they may
have increased difficulty bonding with their new infant. There is little time for
teaching because of shortened hospital stays.6
Preoperative teaching is a vital part of nursing care. Studies have shown
that preoperative teaching reduces clients anxiety and postoperative complications and
increases their satisfaction with the surgical experience. Good preoperative teaching
also facilitates the client's return to work and other activities of daily living.21
Based on the review of literatures and personal experience of the
investigator during practice in the field of nursing service found that primimothers
undergoing elective caesarean section they are not having adequate knowledge
regarding post operative care. This gap of knowledge on one side and the growing
risks on the other side necessitates to need to systematically educated the mother's to
adopt healthy life style pattern. So the investigator felt to impart that the structured
teaching programme will facilitate them to know about the selected aspects of post
operative care after caesarean section.
6.2. REVIEW OF LITERATURE:
8
According to Polit and Beck (2006) a broad, comprehensive, in depth,
systematic and critical review of scollerly publications, unpublished materials, audio
visual materials and personal communications is called review of literature.22
An extensive search of literature was done by the investigator to elicit factual
information about selected aspects of post operative care after caesarean section. The
related literatures is organized and presented under the following headings.
1. Literatures related to caesarean section
2. Literatures related to selected aspects of post operative care after
caesarean section.
Related to pain management
Related to prevention of wound complications
Related to maternal nutrition
Related to initiation of breast feeding.
3. Literatures related to effectiveness of structured teaching program on
selected aspects of post operative care after caesarean section.
1. Literatures related to caesarean section.
The caesarean section rate continues with routine access to medical
services, yet this increase is not associated with improvement in prenatal mortality or
morbidity. The women preference for caesarean section varied from 0.3% - 14%.
Caesarean section related to psychological factors, perceptions of safety, or in some
countries was influenced by cultural or social factors.23
2. Literatures related to selected aspects of post operative care after
caesarean section.
Related to pain management.
A study was conducted to assess the analgesic effect of transcutaneous
nerve stimulation (TENS) on caesarean 54 subjects randomly selected. The result of
this study showed that intensity of pain and usage of sedative drug remarkably
reduced after use of transautaneous nerve stimulation (TENS) (P<0.001, P<0.05).
Patient satisfaction was significantly before than the control group (P<0.001) This
9
might lead to better out comes in pain control and facilitating development of bonding
between mother and baby.24
A study was conducted to assess post operative pain and pain relief after
caesarean birth. 60 women underwent caesarean birth. Descriptive patient survey was
carried out and data are collected through a questionnaire and assessment of pain by
visual analog scale (VAS) and women birth experience measured on a seven-point
Likert scale. The results showed that the women experienced high level pain during
the first 24 hours and 78% of the women scored greater than or equal to 4 on the
visual Analog Scale. There was no difference between elective and emergency
caesarean births in the levels of pain. In spite of high levels of pain, women were
pleased with the pain relief. Postoperative pain negatively affected breastfeeding and
infant care. The study concluded that, there is a need for individual with adequate
pain treatment for women undergoing caesarean birth, as high levels of pain interfere
with early infant care and breastfeeding.25
A study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of acupressure for
controlling post-caesarean section symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, anxiety
perception and pain perception. A total of 104 eligible participants were recruited by
convenience sampling techniques. The experimental group received three acupressure
treatments before caesarean section and within the first 24 hours after caesarean
section. The results indicated that the experimental group had significantly lower
anxiety and pain perception of caesarean experiences than the control group. The
study concluded that the utilization of acupressure treatment to promote the comfort of
women during caesarean delivery is strongly recommended.26
A quality improvement study of pain management after caesarean
delivery was conducted. The patient subjective report of satification with pain
management was not related to the method or drug used for pain control (P=0.13)
fewer women assigned to morphine thereby stopped breastfeeding (P=0.02) and more
roomed in with their infants (p<0.01). The pain relief was superior with the morphine
regimens used and was positively associated with breast feeding and infant rooming
in.27
Related to Prevention of wound complications
10
A study was conducted on risk factors for surgical site infection after
low transverse caesarean section. Retrospective cast-control study design. Surgical
site infections (5.0%) independent risk factors for surgical site infections 95%. It
should be incorporated into approaches for the prevention and surveillance of surgical
site infection after surgery.28
A study was conducted on caesarean section, surgical site infection and
wound management. Surgical site infections are a common cause of morbidity. The
risk factors for surgical site infections following caesarean section including
prophylaxis antibiotics, type of dressing, approach to wound closure, obesity and
general health.29
A study was conducted to assess the post partum uterine wound
dehiscence is a case for late postpartum hemorrhage following caesarean section. A
partial or complete dehiscence of the lower segment caesarean section is a rare, but
possible cause. Emergency laparotomy revealed a complete dehiscence of the lower
uterine segment incision. A subtotal hysterectomy was performed to control the
bleeding.30
A study was conducted to assess the occurrence of abdominal wall scar
endometroma after caesarean section. A study was undertaken of six patient's in
general surgical clinic, each of whom had presented with a painful mass at a previous
caesarean section site. It is strongly recommended that, at the conclusion of the
procedure of caesarean section, the abdominal wall wound be cleaned thoroughly and
irrigated vigorously with high jet saline solution before closure.31
A study was conducted to assess the risk factors associated with surgical
site infections following caesarean section. 765 samples selected by randomized
sampling techniques. Multiple logistic regression analysis identified four factors:
absence of prophylactics antibiotiic (P=0.001), Surgery time (P=0.04), < 7 prenatal
visits (P=0.001) and hours of ruptured membranes (P=0.04). women's health care
professionals also must continue to encourage pregnant women to start prenatal visits
early in the pregnancy and to maintain scheduled visits throughout the pregnancy to
prevent perinatal complications, including post operative infection. 32
11
A study was conducted to assess the role of prophylaxis antibiotic in
caesarean section for prevention of infections complications during puerperium. Not a
single case with endometritis and only one case with suppuration (13.99%). All these
parturient were with low risk of puerperal infections.33
Related to maternal nutrition:
A study was conducted on the effect of early versus delayed post
caesarean feeding on woman's satisfaction. Women's satisfaction measured with a
visual analogue scale (VAS). The woman's satisfaction was similar in both groups. A
statistically significant difference was observed in mean postoperative pain 29+/-
13mm in the delayed feeding group versus 24+/-11mm in the early feeding group
(P=0.008). Early feeding after uncomplicated caesarean in low risk women is
equivalent in terms of the woman's satisfaction and the reduced perceived pain.34
A study was conducted on early maternal feeding following caesarean
delivery. A prospective, randomized study was design including 179 women
underwent first or repeated caesarean delivery. The received clear fluids and solid
food within 8 hours of surgery maternal satisfaction was significantly higher among
the early fed women. It is not associated with higher rates of post operative
complications.35
A randomized controlled trial study was conducted on beneficial effects
of early feeding post caesarean delivery. Bowel sounds were present immediately
postoperatively in 90.8% (early group) versus 95.5% (control). Maternal satisfaction
rate higher in the early fed group (90 versus 60, on visual analogue scale score 0-100,
P.Value is less than 0.001). Early feeding post-caesarean delivery with added benefits
of earlier intravenous cannula removal, ambulation, breast feeding initiation and
potential for shorter hospitalization.36
A comparative study was conducted on early post operative feeding
versus conventional feeding for patients undergoing caesarean section. The rate of
mild ileus symptoms in the early feeding groups was significantly less than the
conventional group (19.6%) versus 31.1% P =0.03). The early feeding after
uncomplicated caesarean section had reduced the rate of ileus symptoms and offer
12
potential benefits associated with shorter interval to bowel movement, IV fluid
administration and length of hospital stays.37
A study was conducted on early oral hydration and its impact on bowel
activity after caesarean section. Bowel sounds appeared in a significantly shorter
duration of time in study group the mean being 7.4h as compared to 11.5h in the
control group. The mean oral fluid intake was much more and return to soft and the
full diet was faster in the study group. The early oral hydration in the post operative
period helps in the faster recovery of the patient by means of quicker return to normal
feeding habits and early ambulation.38
A study was conducted on early compared with delayed oral fluids and
food after caesarean section. The results showed that early oral fluids or food were
associated with reduced time to first food intake (weighted mean difference - 7.20
hours 95% confidence interval 13.26 to 1.14). No complication of withholding oral
fluids after uncomplicated caesarean section.39
A study was conducted on attitudes to oral feeding following caesarean
section. Only 21.5% of units had a departmental policy concerning feeding after
caesarean section. The women could eat or drink in the majority of obstetric units
(78.5%) after without help of guidelines. The period of postoperative starvation was
found to very greatly, from <1hr in some units to >24 hrs in others. They suggest that
all obstetric units should produce guidelines in order to rationalize postoperative
feeding for women following caesarean section.40
A study was conducted to assess on safety and efficacy of early
postoperative solid food consumption after caesarean section. Early solid food
consumption would reduce the need for analgesia. Women will eat solid food very
soon after caesarean section (mean + /-SD 10.2+/-5.2 hours from surgery to onset of
solid food consumption) as compared to women on a traditional dietary expansive
regimen (mean+/-SD 41.5+/-16.0 hours P<.001). There is no evidence of
complications. Early postoperative feeding after caesarean section is a safe and
effective alternative for most women.41
13
Related to initiation of breast feeding
A study was conducted on caesarean section and breastfeeding
initiation. With established determinants for breastfeeding duration, including feeding
exclusively with breast milk in maternity wards, early initiation of breast feeding,
rooming-in and pacifier use, varied according to nationality. The rate in the mothers
country of origin (P<0.001, P=0.04). The study concluded that these differences are
dependant on educational level and on the mothers nationality. The large variation
suggests that different trans-national experiences play some role in health-related
decision-making and access to health care.42
A study was conducted to assess the effects of caesarean section on
breast feeding. There was a significantly lower postpartum prolactin (PRL) level in
the caesarean section group (8.48 nmol/<, 95% CI: 7.80 - 9.21 nmol/L). Caesarean
section was an important hazard for a shorter duration of breastfeeding (RR=1.21;
95% CI; 1.10 - 1.33) with in one year after childbirth. Measures including promoting
the secretion of postpartum prolactin (PRL) such as early contact, early sucking and
analgesic method should be taken to improve the successful breastfeeding rate.43
A study was conducted to assess the policies and practices for maternal
support options during childbirth and breastfeeding initiation after caesarean delivery.
Convenience sample of 154 obstetric nurse manager and nurse representatives 89%
permitted only one support person during non emergent caesareans, and 58.0% of the
nurse representatives believed that mothers should be allowed a second support
person. Less than one third (31.2%) of the hospitals considered a mothers request to
breastfeed in the operating room, and most (78.6%) allowed mothers to breastfeed in
the recovery room. The study concluded that breastfeeding initiation after caesarean
birth was encouraging, support person options during non emergent caesarean births
and related rationales warrant further examinations.44
3. Literatures related to effectiveness of structured teaching programme
related to post operative care after caesarean section.
A study was conducted on caesarean section and maternal education.
Studies on the association between caesarean section and maternal social background.
This study result showed that the lowest educated had the highest risk of caesarean
14
section. In all deliveries the adjusted relative risk of caesarean section for the lowest
versus the highest educated increased from 1.16 in the 1967-76 period to 1.34 in the
1996-2004 period.45
A study was conducted to evaluate individual or group antenatal
education for childbirth or parenthood, or both. To assess the effects of this education
on knowledge acquisition, anxiety, sense of control, pain, labour and birth support,
breastfeeding, infant-care abilities, and psychological and social adjustment.
Randomized controlled trials of any structured educational programme provided
during pregnancy by an educator to either parent that included information related to
pregnancy, birth or parenthood. No consistent results were found. Sample sizes were
very small to moderate, ranging from 10 to 318. No data were reported concerning
anxiety, breastfeeding success, or general social support. The study concluded that
the effects of general antenatal education for childbirth or parenthood, or both, remain
largely unknown. Individualized prenatal education directed toward avoidance of a
repeat caesarean birth.46
