Nursing Care Plan for Cesarean Birth Anxiety

This nursing care plan is for a patient who had a cesarean birth. The patient may feel anxiety, fear, guilt or anger about not having the expected vaginal birth. Not addressing these emotions could lead to longer term emotional consequences. Women who request elective c-sections also tend to have higher levels of depression and anxiety during pregnancy than those planning vaginal births. The goal is to provide emotional support to help the patient process their feelings and reduce anxiety related to concerns about how the c-section may affect their health and the baby's health.
