RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

4. Scope of the Study:
The present study will be helpful in understanding the factors
influencing people to choose caesarean section.
The study will also be helpful in analyzing the problems faced by
the respondents after caesarean section
It will also help in suggesting suitable measures to overcome the
complications of caesarean section.
Limitations of the Study:
Many Respondents neglected to respond to the survey in their
Busy Schedule.
Many Respondents found it difficult to Rank the Problems faced
by them, because they are equally facing all the problems.
