Objective: Previous systematic reviews have found that the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol for cesarean delivery can vary from one study to another, and the attitudes of health care professionals regarding ERAS methods and the implementation of the ERAS for cesarean delivery remain unclear. We aimed to identify the attitudes of health professionals toward ERAS in the context of cesarean delivery.
Data sources: Systematic searches were conducted in 6 databases: PubMed, ScienceDirect, EBSCO, Scopus, the Cochrane Library, and Sage Journals from September 2010 to September 2020.
Study selection: A total of 4 articles were selected for analysis. All articles use survey methods and present health professional attitudes toward ERAS for cesarean delivery.
Data extraction and synthesis: Data were extracted using Excel spreadsheets. The results obtained are presented descriptively.
Conclusion: This review illustrates that there are many ERAS protocols that health care professionals have not yet implemented for cesarean delivery. Policymakers can use this knowledge to inform the promotion of the ERAS protocol for cesarean delivery.
