摘要
We have assessed knowledge about caesarean sections in a group of North Staffordshire Hospital professionals and patients. Those who were more interested in having a caesarean section without medical indication were the nulliparous health professionals, the majority of whom thought they should be able to choose this option. Paradoxically, this was also the group who were most likely to consider that caesarean section is more expensive and dangerous. The explanation may be that they also felt it to be an easier, less painful and more convenient option. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
