Abstract:
Decision on mode of delivery (MOD) is a process involved by both clients and health care providers, based on specific clinical situations and women′s values. To help each woman obtain the best MOD is crucial for obstetric health professionals to provide women-centered high quality of care. There is a steep upward trend in cesarean sections in China due to the introduced advanced technologies, overused antenatal monitoring methods, flexible indications for cesarean sections, delayed childbearing ages and people′s misconceptions, etc.. Recently the conditional and comprehensive two-child policy have been implemented in China, which might initiate changes in fertility and birth intentions of many families, and in subsequent decisions on MOD. This review illustrates the pros and cons of MOD, decision process on MOD, influencing factors and strategies to promote decision on MOD, in order for the obstetric professionals to provide evidence-based best care for women and their families in the process of decision-making.
