Designed Questionnaire

Participants in this study, comprised solely of obstetricians and gynecologists practicing in Egypt, will complete a self-administered questionnaire designed to assess their knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to operative vaginal birth. The questionnaire includes four sections: the first gathers demographic data such as name, gender, and years of experience in childbirth care; the second focuses on participants' practices regarding the frequency and types of operative vaginal birth used (forceps, ventouse) and reasons for their use; the third evaluates knowledge of outcomes associated with operative vaginal birth through multiple-choice questions; and the fourth explores attitudes towards operative vaginal birth, including opinions on hospital rates and policy appropriateness. Completion and return of the questionnaire, which takes approximately 5 to 10 minutes, will be considered as consent to participate in the study.
