Comparing the course of anxiety in women receiving their first or repeated caesarean section: A prospective cohort study.

CONCLUSION: The results show that previous experience with a caesarean section has a soothing effect. The study aims to sensitize surgeons, anesthetists, nurses and midwives when treating women receiving a caesarean section and encourage them to incorporate soothing interventions, especially for women receiving their first caesarean section to reduce anxiety levels and consequently improve postoperative recovery and patients' satisfaction.
