Abstract

Aim: To explore the effect of information-motivation-behavioural skills (IMB) model on psychological and emotional state of caesarean section (CS) women.

Design: Control-group patients got routine nursing during the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative periods. Observation-group patients received routine nursing combined with the IMB model that included specific informational, motivational and behavioural interventions.

Methods: Pregnant women (n = 102) who underwent CS in Hangzhou Women's Hospital were randomly divided into Control and Observation-groups (n = 51 each). Self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), self-rating depression scale (SDS) and general self-efficacy scale (GSES) scores, complication rate, fatigue severity scale (FSS) and Edinburgh postpartum depression scale (EPDS) scores were compared.

Result: Interventions lowered SAS and SDS scores, significantly lower in the Observation-group (p < 0.05), and increased GSES scores, significantly higher in the Observation-group (p < 0.05). Observation-group had less complications (4.08% vs. 17.39% in the Control-group; p < 0.05), and decreased FSS and EPDS scores (p < 0.05).

Keywords: caesarean section; emotional state; information-motivation-behaviour model; psychological intervention.
