Abstract
Birth is a process that can expose women to many risks. One of the important issues to be decided is the type of delivery. Many factors influence women, but what is important is that they are adequately directed to the appropriate mode of delivery, and that labor results of a healthy mother and baby. To investigate the view of pregnant women delivery preference and to contribute to the development of new health strategies in order to prevent the increase of cesarean rates. Methods: The pregnant between 6 and 40 weeks of gestation were included in the questionnaire. Pregnant women in labor were not included in the questionnaire. The answers were evaluated and the reasons underlying the attitudes of the pregnant women about the mode of birth were tried to be revealed. Results: 71.6 % of individuals over 30 years of age preferred cesarean delivery. No statistically significant relationship between gestational age and type of delivery. Postpartum complication subscale scores and total delivery information scores of the healthcare personnel were higher than the other occupational groups. 75.1 % of vaginal births stated the reasons they preferred choice for mother-child health, first births of 37.8 % of those preferring caesarean delivery stated that they preferred to cesarean section. Health personnel and family physicians play an important role in determining the best mode of delivery in favor of the mother and the baby, and reducing unnecessary cesarean procedures.
