Abstract Background Elective caesarean section rates are on the rise and socioeconomic status, perceptions of safety, cultural and social influences are contributory factors. Inspite of the benefits of medically-indicated caesarean section, some women refuse this due to a complexity of factors. This study aimed at determining the factors that influence women to accept medically-indicated caesarean section in a district hospital in Ghana.MethodsA descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 163 purposively-sampled postnatal women in a hospital. A questionnaire was used for data collection after the women gave their consent to participate. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 25.0, Chi-square test was done to determine the association between the factors that facilitated respondents’ acceptance of caesarean section and the duration of decision-making. ResultsMajor factors influencing their decision-making process were support from their husbands/relatives (39.3%), their baby’s life being at risk (24.5%), history of previous caesarean section and knowledge about the procedure (19.6%). Age (R2 = 0.19, p< 0.001); previous caesarean section (R2 = 0.14, p<0.001) are the major predictors of the duration of the decision-making process.ConclusionMost women will make decisions to accept elective caesarean section within a week’s duration based on consultation with relatives. There is the need to involve relatives during the antenatal care period in order for younger women in particular to be readily supported to make the decision early to avoid any complications and allay their fears.

Prelicensure Nursing

The COVID-19 pandemic may cause a nursing shortage. Prelicensure nursing students who are exposed to high-stress COVID-19 events are related to defective career decision-making. This study validated the COVID-19 attitude scale and clarified how their attitudes about COVID-19 affected their behavioral intentions toward career decision-making. We conducted a cross-sectional study and recruited a convenience sample of 362 prelicensure nursing students from Northern and Central Taiwan. Two measurements were applied, including the Nursing Students Career Decision-making instrument and COVID-19 attitude scale. We used AMOS (version 22.0) to perform a confirmatory factor analysis. The Cronbach α of the COVID-19 attitude scale was 0.74 and consisted of four factors. The most positive attitude was the nursing belief factor, and the least positive factor was emotional burden. Prelicensure nursing students’ COVID-19 attitudes were significantly positively associated with their career decision-making attitudes and perceived control (ß = 0.41 and ß = 0.40, respectively; p < 0.001). All the key latent variables explained significantly 23% of the variance in the career decision-making behavioral intentions module. In conclusion, the COVID-19 attitude scale is valid. Although the prelicensure nursing students’ COVID-19 attitudes had no direct effect on career decision-making intentions, they had a direct effect on career decision-making attitudes and the perceived control.
