Abstract

This study aimed to highlight the experiences, of those young mothers who have experienced their first Cesarean surgery in Lahore. Using a qualitative research design, five in depth interviews are conducted with young mothers who underwent through their first cesarean. The study will help to promote social support, reinforcing positive approaches to coping and exploring solutions to cope with post-cesarean stress by young mothers. Grounded theory method is used. We developed deductive theoretical model through our literature review and inductive model after collecting data. Research has indicated that social support is a major buffer of stress after a cesarean. The results of this study suggest that identifying support needs and expectations of new mothers is important for mothers’ recovery after childbirth. Future stress prevention efforts should integrate a strong focus on social support (paternal support, spousal support).

Keywords: Cesarean, Social support, Paternal support, Spousal support, Stress.
