<![CDATA[Anxiety is a feeling of an uncomfortable that arises due to fear of something unspecified and unknown sources. The process of cesarean section surgery can induce anxiety, associated with fears of the surgical procedure, injections, the threat of death, and anesthesia. This can also encompass concerns about potential disabilities or death for both the mother and the baby. Factors such as age, level of education, and prior surgical experience in mothers can influence the level of anxiety before undergoing cesarean section surgery.
