Abstract
Over the last two decades the number of cesarean births being performed has increased
dramatically. Therefore, cesarean section became one of the health priorities of the community
and management of its postoperative complications gained great importance. The aim the study
was to identify problems encountered among women underwent CS and evaluates the
effectiveness of an educational program on meeting the needs of these women. Subjects and
methods a descriptive and quasi experimental design was adopted in this study. The study was
carried out in Suez Canal University hospital at Ismailia city. A purposive sample of 250 women
underwent CS were selected for the descriptive part of the study and 50 women for the
program. A structured interviewing questionnaire and Physical assessment record, visual analog
and follow up records were used for the data collection. Results; 67.9% had previous CS and
82.0% had repeated CS within less than 4 years. Only 12.0% received satisfactory care for their
CS. 39.2% were exposed to early postnatal complications this was increased to 84.0% at their
first postnatal visit. Significant improvement was noticed after the application of the program
concerning postoperative outcomes compared to the control group (P<0.0001*). Conclusion; early
and late postnatal problems encountered by women underwent CS should be prevented and
nursing intervention aiming at meeting the needs of these women and improving postoperative
outcomes should be implemented. Recommendation; the training program should be applied in
CS wards, for women undergoing CS to improve patient outcome
and reduce postoperative problems.
