Campus Notices
After a successful start in September, Research on Tap returns October 19 at 6:30 pm at The Wave, the 糖心vlog官方入口 campus pub in the W.A. Murphy Student Centre. Dr. Janet Bryanton, professor in the Faculty of Nursing at 糖心vlog官方入口, will lead a discussion about women who seek planned caesareans due to fear of childbirth.
Giving birth is a significant life experience for women. Fear of childbirth is not a new phenomenon, and it can occur at any time before, during, and after birth. Sometimes, the fear of childbirth leads to women asking for a planned caesarean section. Researchers do not have a clear understanding of this experience. Dr. Bryanton explored women鈥檚 experiences of fear in relation to their decision to have a planned cesarean birth. In her presentation, Dr. Bryanton will speak about the 16 women who shared their experiences with fear of childbirth.
Research on Tap is a series of public discussions led by 糖心vlog官方入口 researchers. For more information, please email gsa@upei.ca.
