Pregnancy is one of the important events in a woman’s life. Having a positive and planned pregnancy will impact the psychological well-being of both mother and baby. This study describes the relationship between the affect and demographics of pregnant adolescents. Respondents consisted of 92 pregnant adolescents (19.6% trimester 1, 41.3% trimester 2 and 39.1% trimester 3), with an age range of 16 to 35 years (M = 18.99, SD = 2.899). Pregnant adolescents were asked to fill in the positive and negative influence scale (PANAS). The correlation coefficient of Cronbach’s alpha for the positive influence scale is 0.845. The correlation coefficient of Cronbach’s alpha for the negative influence scale is 0.676. Researchers used Chi-Square to determine the relationship between positive and negative influences with the demographic characteristics of adolescent mothers. The results of the description of the Positive affect were related to age (Asymp. Sig. = 0.000) and gestational age (Asymp. Sig. = 0.009). In contrast, the Negative affect was related to adolescent education (Asymp. Sig. = 0.013). These results underlie the process of adaptation of adolescent mothers in undergoing a healthy and planned pregnancy.

“…Furthermore, it was found that the levels of worry about pain and distress likely to be experienced during labor affected the participants’ prenatal attachment levels. In studies in Turkey and the rest of the world, it has been discovered that pregnant women who had high levels of anxiety also had a lower quality of prenatal attachment (Coşkun et al, 2019; Pisoni et al, 2014; Wahyuntari & Puspitasari, 2021). Besides, Wilson and Simpson (2016) reported a positive relationship between anxiety about attachment and pain perception.…”

“…Prenatal attachment is the emotional relationship between the mother and the fetus during pregnancy. Maternal-fetal attachment plays a key role in the health of the mother and the fetus and has a significant effect on the mother’s decision to have a healthy lifestyle during her pregnancy (Wahyuntari & Puspitasari, 2021). To satisfy the needs of the fetus growing during pregnancy, certain physiological and psychological changes come into play (Soma-Pillay et al, 2016).…”

This study aimed to identify the factors affecting primiparous pregnant women’s prenatal attachment levels, childbirth self-efficacy beliefs, and labor worry levels. This cross-sectional study was conducted with 351 pregnant women. The data were collected by using a Personal Information Form, the Prenatal Attachment Inventory, the Oxford Worries about Labour Scale, and the Childbirth Self-Efficacy Inventory. The mean Prenatal Attachment Inventory, Oxford Worries About Labour Scale and Childbirth Self-Efficacy Inventory scores of the participants were 40.53 ± 10.32, 21.82 ± 6.8, and 201.35 ± 23.21, respectively. The data obtained in the study showed that the care offered in the preconception period affected the participating pregnant women’s prenatal attachment, labor worry, and childbirth self-efficacy levels. With individualized preconception care provided by health personnel, not only will awareness be increased but also women will be able to have a more positive pregnancy and labor experience.

“…Similarly, Wahyuntari and Puspitasari investigated the relationship between pregnant women's anxiety and their attachment to the unborn baby in Indonesia using Zung self-rating anxiety to measure the PRA and the same tools as used in this study to measure MFA. They found a significant relationship between anxiety and MFA [32]. Another study found that maternal age has contributed to the MFA during pregnancy [27].…”

BACKGROUND: Many studies support the hypothesis that pregnancy-related anxiety (PRA) is strongly linked to postpartum depression, preterm births, low birth weight, fetal growth restriction, pregnancy complications, and negative infant outcomes. PRA has also been associated with mother-fetal bond during pregnancy that a special relationship between the mother and infant and growth beyond before the infant is born. Although extensive studies on PRA and maternal-fetal attachment (MFA) have been carried out, little attention on these issues is done in the Indonesian context. AIM: To fill such a gap, the present study aimed to investigate the relationship between maternal PRA and MFA. METHODS: Expectant mothers who visit their antenatal care in the primary health community services at Yogyakarta participated in this study. They were recruited using a purposive sampling technique based on the criteria: (a) The 1st time pregnancy, (b) in the late stage of pregnancy, (c) have no complication, (d) mother at any age range, and (e) mother at any education level. G-power 3.1.9.2 with effect size 0.15 has used to determine the number of samples, 84 people. Statistical analysis Pearson correlation has been applied and calculates the t relationship between two variables. General linier model analysis conducted the contribution of demographic variables to PRA and MFA. RESULTS: There is a significant relationship between maternal anxiety during pregnancy and MFA (p < 0.001) and a significant correlation between PRA and maternal age. However, there were no correlation between MFA and demographic variables. IMPLICATION FOR PRACTICE: Findings study provides the crucial information as the new approach to enhance the quality of care of mother’s and infant’s health during pregnancy as well as to promote maternal mental health.
