By evaluation of the level of knowledge and attitude to normal delivery we can encourage pregnant women to have a normal delivery. Methods: This study was done on 250 pregnant women referred to four clinics and health centers in Babol during 6 months and questionnaires were completed about their personal characteristics, knowledge level and attitude. Their knowledge level and attitude were determined according to their scores. Findings: The knowledge level about normal delivery in 40.8%, 54.4% and 4.8% of pregnant women were low, average and high, respectively and their attitude to normal delivery in 48.8%, 31.6% and 19.6% were negative, indifferent and positive respectively. 61.6% of cases chose vaginal delivery. Pregnant women in this group had higher knowledge and lower negative attitude to vaginal delivery in comparison to those who chose cesarean section. There is a significant relationship between knowledge and attitude (P=0.000). The results showed that negative attitude in persons with low knowledge was more noticeable. Conclusion: According to this study pregnant women had low knowledge about the advantages of normal delivery. Only 19.6% of pregnant women had positive attitude to normal delivery. Since there is a significant relationship between knowledge and attitude, the correct programs can expand the limits of knowledge and positive attitudes to vaginal delivery.M FaramarziH PashaA BakhtiariBabol University of Medical Sciencesarticlevaginal deliveryknowledgeattitudeMedicineRMedicine (General)R5-920ENFAMajallah-i Dānishgāh-i ̒Ulūm-i Pizishkī-i Bābul, Vol 3, Iss 4, Pp 39-42 (2001)
