[Abstract] The purpose of this study was to clarify the experiences of midwives assisting mothers during Emergency Caesarean Sections based on their postnatal debriefings. The study was conducted among midwives (n=10) working at the general hospitals who had experience of postnatal debriefings after assisting mothers during Emergency Caesarean Sections. 10 midwives from three hospitals participated in this study.
