Abstrakt: Background and Aim: Regional anesthesia for cesarean delivery has become a popular choice due to with its immediate effect and high frequency of effective blockage. However, patient satisfaction is a critical indicator of anesthetic care quality. This research aimed to determine the mothers’ satisfaction levels after they had an elective or emergency cesarean section under regional anesthesia. Materials and Methods: This noninterventional, descriptive, cross‑sectional questionnaire‑based study included 327 participants to evaluate patients’ satisfaction with regional anesthesia for cesarean section in Saudi Arabia. The research employed descriptive analysis and a modified Likert scale to assess maternal satisfaction. The study considered a P value of ≤0.05 to decide statistical significance. Results: The respondents’ overall satisfaction with regional anesthesia services were rated high, and 198 (60.6%) were satisfied with recommending regional anesthesia to others, while only 28 (8.6%) disagreed with recommending regional anesthesia to others. Most participants scored higher satisfaction rates in all areas of the study. About 233 (71.7%) reported satisfaction concerning the anesthesia staff for patients’ privacy; nearly 226 (69.1%) agreed with the level of professionalism of the anesthesia team. Also, 253 (77.4%) were satisfied with the anesthesia team’s politeness. Conclusion: Our study concluded that a higher satisfaction rate is associated with regional anesthesia among participants who underwent cesarean section. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
