Objectives:
The present study aimed to examine the knowledge and attitudes of post-cesarean section women toward cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP).
Methods:
The present cross-sectional study examined women who had undergone cesarean section in two Fujian hospitals from November 20, 2023, to December 30, 2023. Sociodemographic data and knowledge and attitude scores were obtained utilizing a self-designed questionnaire.
Results:
The 325 patients enrolled were aged 31.87 ± 4.21 years. Their knowledge and attitude scores were 11.14 ± 4.34 (range: 0 to 20) and 49.88 ± 5.79 (range: 12 to 60), respectively. In multivariable logistic regression analysis, junior college/bachelor's degree (OR = 4.742, 95%CI: 1.399-16.069; p = 0.012) and Master's degree and beyond (OR = 9.981, 95%CI: 2.251-44.255; p = 0.002) had independent associations with good knowledge. Additionally, high school/vocational high school education (OR = 3.534, 95%CI: 1.224-10.198; p = 0.020) and junior college/bachelor's degree (OR = 12.352, 95%CI: 4.373-34.887; p < 0.001) had independent associations with a positive attitude.
Conclusion:
Post-cesarean section women may show inadequate knowledge and positive attitude toward CSP. Health professionals should provide tailored educational activities to improve awareness, particularly for women with low education.
