Delivery Methods: A Qualitative Research
AB  - Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the views of primiparous pregnant women about labor and the type of delivery they want to have. Material and Methods: The sample of this qualitative study included 26 primiparous pregnant women who did not have communication problems and volunteered to participate in the study, applied to the Obstetrics and Gynecology outpatient clinic of Cumhuriyet University Health Services Research and Training Hospital between 30.06.2016 and 30.09.2016, who were selected using the purposive sampling method. Percentages, mean values and chisquared test were used to analyze the quantitative data, and content analysis was used to analyze the qualitative data. Results: There was a statistically significant relationship between the delivery method that the pregnant women thought of having and the form of the occurrence of their current pregnancy (p<0.05). Of the pregnant women, 92.3% stated that they wanted to have a vaginal delivery, and 7.7% of them wanted to have a cesarean section delivery. In relation to the statements of the women who wanted to have vaginal delivery, the sub-categories of “a healthier birth process for mother and baby”, “fast recovery”, “living the moment of birth and the immediate start of the mother-baby relationship”, “easier and more comfortable birth process” and “some gynecological diseases of the woman get better-her body is renewed” emerged under the main category of seeing vaginal birth as a normal act. According to those who wanted to have a cesarean delivery, the main category of not being afraid of cesarean delivery included the sub-categories of “easy and painless delivery process” and “planned delivery”. Conclusion: It was determined that the majority of the pregnant women wanted to have a vaginal delivery, and all pregnant women defined vaginal delivery as the “best way of delivery” in terms of maternal and infant health.
