Objective: The present study was designed to evaluate women postpartum quality of life after different modes of delivery in Pakistan.Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study design was used. A pre-validated tool SF-36 was self-administered to a sample of 382 women in the postpartum period (6-8 w, 10-12 w, 14-16 w,>9 mo,>15 mo) undergone through elective/emergency cesarean sections or normal vaginal delivery and had delivered a single live child. After data collection, data was cleaned coded and entered in SPSS version 21.0. Descriptive statistics comprising of frequency and percentages was calculated. The non-parametric tests including Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Walis (p ≥ 0.05) were performed to find out the difference among different variables.Results: Comparison of HRQOL domains by mode of delivery using Mann-Whitney test demonstrated a significant difference (p=0.01) between normal delivery and cesarean section. Women undergoing normal delivery had significantly higher scores as compared to women having cesarean section. Also, a significant difference (p=0.027) among HRQOL scores was observed between working women and house wives and as well who had better socioeconomic status (p=0.018).Conclusion: The results of the present study concluded that postpartum quality of life of most of the women undergoing normal vaginal delivery was better as compared to women undergoing cesarean sections in twin cities of Pakistan. Surgical intervention during cesarean section might lead to consistent postpartum pain, inability to cope with needs of newborn and family which in turn can reduce postpartum quality of life among women.

This study analyses quality of life after these two methods of deliveries.Methods: This was a cross-sectional comparative study in postnatal care outpatient department at Patan Hospital. Primipara women with normal delivery and elective caesarean section done in Patan Hospital were enrolled to analyse postpartum quality of life. The SF-12 questionnaire tool at 6 weeks post delivery was used to compare age, ethnicity, education, family type and employment. Data was analysed using ANOVA test for descriptive parameters.Results: There were 468 primipara, age 30-45 years, 94% in 15-30 years77.8% educated, 74.4% in joint family,73.5% housewife. Normal vaginal delivery was 360 (72.6%) and 128 (27.4%) elective caesarean. Vaginal delivery group had average SF score of Physical Health Composite Score of 68.7, Mental Health CompositeScore69.5 and total SF score 67.7. While in caesarean group, it was 64.8,64.1 and 63.4.Conclusions: Normal vaginal delivery had better quality of life resulting in both superior physical as well as mental health.Journal of Patan Academy of Health Sciences, Vol. 2, No. 2, 2015. page:13-18

The findings indicated a number of differences exist between primiparas and multiparas women in relation to expectations and experiences of birth when compare two groups. The majority of women had negative expectations and experiences of childbirth.Conclusion: The evaluation and understanding of birth expectations and experiences as positive and negative is priority of maternity system.

Objectives: To assess the association of perceived social support with postnatal depression among puerperal women of Faisalabad, Pakistan. Methods: It was a case-control study carried out during a period of 18 months (1-1-2019 to 30-06-2020). By using purposive sampling technique 284 postpartum women were enrolled from Allied hospital and Children hospital Faisalabad. The postnatal depression was diagnosed with Edinburg Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS).The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) was used to measure the social support that was perceived by women. Results: According to cut-off score ≥13 on EPDS 37.3% women were found depressed while 62.7% women were found non-depressed. The mean EPDS score ± SD was 10.12 ± 6.27 (min score 0; max score 27). The perceived social support from significant other, family and friends was found as significant predictor of postnatal depression. With one-point increase in global perceived social support, the postnatal depression decreased by 0.1 points on EPDS scale (p = 0.03) among women in normal vaginal delivery group, by 0.2 points in cesarean section group (p <0.001) and the postnatal depression decreased by 0.2 points in total sample (p < 0.001). Conclusion: A poor perceived social support from significant other, family and friends is a significant risk factor for postnatal depression among puerperal women.
