BACKGROUND OF STUDY
Pregnancy is a physiological state that should lead to the process of delivery within thirty-six weeks (36) of gestation in a normal delivery. However, due to the different reasons such as variation in human body, sizes, races, external factors, etc., it can be a very unpleasant experience for women, as they may have difficulties in being delivered of the pregnancy that they have carried for many weeks. A normal delivery occurs within thirty-six weeks (36) of gestation (Banigboye, & Hofmeyr, 2021).
Therefore, in certain circumstances, a cesarean section is necessary in order to preserve the lives of both the mother and the kid. A cesarean section, usually referred to as a C-section, is a surgical procedure in which a fetus is delivered through incisions made in the mother's abdomen. The grounds for the procedure might be either maternal or fetal (Declercy, Sakela, Corry, Apple Brown & Hentach 2021). Over the past two decades, there has been a general upward movement toward tolerance, as well as a rise in the rate of C/S, in the industrialized countries. In the United States of America, the rate in 2010 and 2011 was 32.8 percent, and it has since reverted to that level (Hamilton BE, Martin JA, Ventura SJ, 2010). In light of the fact that multiple cesarean sections are occasionally performed for justified medical and non-medical grounds, the rate of C/S births in Europe and North America has been steadily growing (Declercq ER, Sakela C, Corry MP, 2013).
On the other hand, the shift in C/S rate that has taken place throughout the same period of time in emerging nations has been tremendous. This is the effect of women in impoverished nations having a bad opinion of C/S. (Dahlke, Mendez, Pouse, Baxter 2021). Some women in underdeveloped nations still view caesarean section as an unnatural method of childbirth; as a result, the caesarean section rate in some countries in sub-Saharan Africa, such as Burkina Faso and Niger, is as low as 2 percent (Sunday Adeoje I, Kalu CA, 2011).
C/S is still seen as a curse on an unfruitful woman and the fate of weak women among the population of women living in undeveloped nations. This perception persists until now. C/S was seen with suspicion, aversion, misperception, dread, shame, unhappiness, and rage among the Yoruba women who participated in the research in the south-western region of Nigeria (Sunday-Adeoje et al, 2011).
It has been stated that women in Nigeria, as well as in the majority of nations in sub-Saharan Africa, grudgingly accept C/S even in the face of apparent clinical symptoms. This is the case in Nigeria. Also, women in underdeveloped countries have a negative image and perspective of C/S, which has resulted to a widespread underawareness of the operation despite the high burden of obstetric morbidity that has to be resolved by C/S. (AzikenMicheal, Lawrence Omo-Aghoja 2010).
