| Summary: | As compared to the vaginal delivery, the Lower Segment Caesarean Section (LSCS) operation is
easier to perform but women who undergo LSCS experience a higher level of pain. Study
done by the Institute for Public Health 2008, the Ministry of Health Malaysia reported that
pain rating was greater among Indian women (28.4%) compared to Chinese (9.9%) and Malay (8.2%)
women. It is important to provide adequate pain relief as early mobilization to prevent the risk of
thromboembolic disease, which increases during pregnancy. Mothers need to be pain-free to care for
their new-borns and breastfeed them effectively. Thus, this study aims to determine the level of
pain and satisfaction with pain management after LSCS among Malaysian women in two public
hospitals. This study employed a structured survey using interview to collect data from
chosen respondents. Samples studies were selected from its population using cluster
sampling technique. The respondents were 126 post LSCS mothers. The questionnaire consists, of
18 questions and divided into three main sections. Data were analysed using SPSS version 22.
Level of pain was reported within and 24 hours after LSCS, showing that all respondents
majority of them experiencing moderate level of pain. There was no statistically significant
association (p-value=0.056) found between ethnicity and pain level within 24 hours after LSCS.
However, there existed an association between different ethnicities and pain level after 24
hours of LSCS operation (p-value 0.002). Where as severe pain was approximately equally
distributed (40%) for both Chinese and Indian women. The results of this study showed after pain
management on types of analgesia had a statistically significant different
management in hospitals, HSA and HSI, and overall dissatisfaction. |
