“…Given the majority of women in other settings are receiving proper care during their antenatal care compared to our settings, prenatal counseling might improve women's FOC. Moreover, our finding is lower than findings from Iran (89.3%) ( Soltani et al, 2017 ), Portugal (28%) ( Prata et al, 2016 ), and Egypt (55.33%) ( Nasr et al, 2020 ). This might be related to geographical and socio-cultural differences as well as partner or social support.…”

Objective: Childbirth is a complex process with various dimensions including physical, psychological, emotional, social, and cultural aspects. The study intended to assess the effectiveness of Nurse led FALCI (Fear and Apprehension related to Labour or Childbirth Improving) Intervention in reducing childbirth fear among pregnant women. Materials and methods: A quasi-experimental study was conducted among 115 pregnant women (selected through purposive sampling) at antenatal OPD of tertiary care hospital of Bhopal. Data was collected using Wijma Delivery Expectancy Questionnaire (DEQ) and self-structured questionnaire on socio-demographic and clinical variables. The intervention (FALCI) was carried out in two phases, each lasting for 30 minutes conducted at week 3-4 and week 5-6 and information booklet was provided for reinforcement. The data was analysed using two-way repeated measures mixed ANOVA (within group and between groups). Results: Findings revealed that most of the pregnant women in both experimental (68.5%) and control (90.2%) group had high level of childbirth fear. Post-intervention data revealed mean of pretest, posttest 1 and posttest 2 were 73.85, 46.94 and 37.90 in experimental group and the mean of pretest, posttest 1 and posttest 2 were 75.49, 72.59 and 72.67 in control group respectively and found that there is significant difference in childbirth fear (within group, F value=114.69, p<0.001 in experimental group and F =0.575, p=0.564 in control group) and between groups (F value= 81.52, p value <0.001). However, no significant association was found between childbirth fear and sociodemographic/clinical variables. Conclusion: The study findings revealed that Nurse led FALCI intervention was effective in reducing childbirth fear among the pregnant women and it is recommended that such intervention must be planned at all levels and implemented as routine protocol in maternity services.

“…Wanita yang takut melahirkan cenderung mengalami ketegangan otot yang berlebihan, yang dapat menghambat kontraksi rahim dan memperlambat proses persalinan. Wanita yang mengalami ketakutan melahirkan sering kali cenderung meminta penggunaan intervensi medis yang lebih besar, seperti penggunaan obat penghilang rasa sakit yang lebih intens atau tindakan medis seperti operasi caesar (Nasr et al, 2020).…”

“…Tingkat kecemasan yang ditemukan pada ibu hami trimester ketiga berada pada kategori kecemasan ringan-sedang hingga kecemasan berat (Asnuriyati & Fajri, 2020).

This research aims to determine the impact of fear on intranatal and postnatal processes. The research method used was a scoping review of articles about the effects of fear of giving birth by searching database sources from Pubmed, Ebsco, and the Google Scholar search engine. The keywords used for the first search are "Childbirth Fear" AND "Impact of Childbirth Fear" OR "Effects of Childbirth Fear". Research results show that fear of giving birth that continues or is not handled correctly can cause mental well-being disorders after giving birth. These include postnatal anxiety, postnatal depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder. Persistent, unresolved fears can affect the bond between mother and baby. A prolonged fear of giving birth can increase the risk of premature birth or a baby with a low birth weight. The nursing intervention that can be carried out is making a directed and comprehensive birth plan involving the medical and nursing team. In conclusion, fear can trigger a stress response and increase physical and emotional tension in pregnant women during labor, causing delayed delivery or hindering the progression of work. Continued fear can lead to posttraumatic stress disorder, postpartum depression, or difficulty in meeting their baby's emotional and mental needs. Keywords: Maternal Emotions, Fear of Childbirth, Baby Risks
