Amaç: Çalışmamızda, gebelik döneminde çiftler arası uyum ve prenatal bağlanma arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek amaçlanmıştır. Hastalar ve Yöntemler: Kesitsel tipteki bu çalışma Ocak-Mart 2018 tarihleri arasında bir üniversite hastanesinin kadın hastalıkları-doğum polikliniğine başvuran n=195 gebe üzerinde yürütülmüştür. Araştırma verileri, "Anket Formu'' , "Çiftler Uyum Ölçeği (ÇUÖ)" ve "Prenatal Bağlanma Envanteri (PBE)'' kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Gebelerin yaş ortalaması 29.5±6.3, eşlerinin yaş ortalaması 32.2±7.2'tür. Gebelerin %71,1'inin tanışarak evlendiği ve evlilik süresi ortalamalarının 7.1±6.4 olduğu bulunmuştur. Gebelerin %49,2'sinin 3. trimesterde olduğu, %71,6'sının planlı gebelik yaşadığı belirlenmiştir. Gebelik sürecinde, gebelerin %83,8'inin duygusal destek aldığı, %77,7'sinin eşten ve %74,1'nin aileden duygusal destek aldığı saptanmıştır. Gebelerin ÇUÖ puan ortalamasının 91,7±32,3, PBE puan ortalamasının ise 64,9±21,2 olduğu saptanırken, ölçekler arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu bulunmuştur (p<0,001). Tanışarak evlenen, planlı gebelik yaşayan, duygusal ya da fiziksel yönden destek alanların ÇUÖ ve PBE puan ortalamaları arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı ilişki olduğu belirlenmiştir (p<0,001). Sonuç: Gebelerin çift uyumu arttıkça prenatal bağlanma da artmaktadır. Tanışarak evlenen, planlı gebelik yaşayan, duygusal ya da fiziksel yönden destek alan gebelerin çift uyumu ve prenatal bağlanması daha yüksektir.
