Abstract

Background: Women as customer in obstetric field are considered important source of information for improving nursing care provided. Women's perceptions of nursing care, especially in the obstetric field, are not well known. Aim of the study was to identify women's perception of nurse's role in cesarean section care. It was carried out at the obstetric and gynecological department of Suez Canal University hospital and Ismailia general hospitals in Ismailia city. Research questions: How are women's perceived pre and post-operative nurse's role in C.S care? And what are the factors affecting women's perception? Design: a descriptive correlational design was adopted. Sample: purposive, non-probability sampling was followed to recruit 200 full term uncomplicated pregnant women who undergone cesarean section. Tool of data collection: semi-structured interviewing questionnaire was used. It covers women's perception about nurse's role and factors may affect their perception. Results: Women's perceptions of pre-operative nurse's role (as physical care, emotional support &communication and providing of necessary information) were accepted by the highest frequency of women while the post-operative nurse's role (as; availability of bedside nurse, emotional support & communication, providing necessary information and providing baby care) was described as poor care.  Urban residence, multiparty, antenatal care, and setting of delivery are significant predictors of good woman's perception (P<0.001). Conclusion; Women's perceptions of pre-operative nurse's role were accepted care, while post-operative nurse's role was described as poor care.  Recommendation: Nursing staff should take into consideration the patients’ perception so as to meet patients’ needs
