Adult attachment style as a predictor for post-caesarean pain: a pilot study

Cesarean delivery (CD) is the most common major surgery in North America, and postoperative pain may affect a woman ’s ability to care for herself and her baby.1 Many factors can influence postoperative pain and recovery.2 Adult Attachment Style (AAS) refers to a person’s feeling in their close relationships, and has been shown to correlate with pain intensity and chronic pain conditions.3,4 Women with insecu re attachment style have been reported to experience more pain during labour, but the correlation between AAS and postoperative CD pain has not been studied.
