To understand these issues, 19 women and their 10 family members were interviewed. Each interview took about 2 hours and were transcribed.
Women and their family members perceived non-clinical factors contributing to high rate of c-section. Social factors such as profits-driven hospital management, convenience for medical doctors, defensive medical treatment in order not led to medical sues, excessive medical treatments, women"s lack of information on different ways of delivery are suggested. For desirable birth environments, women and their family members asked for information about different kinds of deliveries, improvement of quality of medical service, humanized birth environments and so.
