Quality of life in physical, psychological, social, environmental and overall domains was assessed and compared using WHOQOL BREF questionnaire. FINDINGS: At 8 weeks postpartum in NVD group the mean score of quality of life was 75.01±11.74 for physical domain that was significantly higher than the mean score of QOL for physical domain in C/S group (70.54±10.48) (p=0.000). In NVD group the mean score of quality of life was 73.14±14.71 for psychological domain that was significantly higher than the mean score of QOL for psychological domain in C/S group (69.23±13.71) (p=0.024). There was no statistically significant difference between two groups in social, environmental and Overall domains.CONCLUSION: According to the results of this study, the score of quality of life in NVD group was better than C/S group on physical and psychological domains health care provider for correct choice of mode of delivery can be effective in reducing elective cesarean and improving quality of life after delivery.M NikpourZ AbedianN MokhberS EbrahimzadehS KhaniBabol University of Medical Sciencesarticlequality of lifepostpartumvaginal deliverycesarean whoqol questionnaireMedicineRMedicine (General)R5-920ENFAMajallah-i Dānishgāh-i ̒Ulūm-i Pizishkī-i Bābul, Vol 13, Iss 1, Pp 44-50 (2011)
