to identify the factors that influence Hong Kong Chinese women's decision to have an elective caesarean section. To explore Chinese women's perceptions of their autonomous involvement in childbirth decision-making.
a qualitative exploratory design.
a postnatal ward of a private hospital in Hong Kong.
a purposive sample of six postnatal women who had undergone an elective caesarean section.
four thematic categories were identified including: avoiding fetal and maternal risks, exercising autonomy to make an independent choice, Chinese belief systems, and rejoicing and regretting.
we propose the provision of a 'named' midwife and continuity of care. Improving the availability of information on caesarean sections, accommodating a Chinese belief system in the planning of midwifery services at the international level and establishing post caesarean section peer support groups are recommended.

定性探索性设计。
中国香港一家私立医院的产后病房。
六名接受过选择性剖宫产的产后女性的目的抽样样本。
确定了四个主题类别，包括：避免胎儿和产妇风险、行使自主权做出独立选择、中国信仰体系以及喜悦与遗憾。
我们建议提供“指定”助产士并提供连续性护理。建议提高剖宫产信息的可获取性，在国际层面的助产服务规划中考虑中国信仰体系，并建立剖宫产术后同伴支持小组。
