“…There are only two published studies by Salomonsson et al (2013aSalomonsson et al ( , 2013b) who had solely studied the self-efficacy concept in relation to fear of childbirth and interventions during labour and birth outcomes. To our knowledge, no other studies have focused on both positive and negative dimensions of well-being in relation to childbirth self-efficacy and interventions during birth and birth outcome.…”

“…Çalışmada gebelerin psikososyal sağlık durumlarının orta dü-zeyde (3,0±0,2), yaşadıkları doğum korkusunun ise yüksek düzeyde (14,32,42). Ancak bu çalışmalarda örneklemin yetersiz olması (32,42), geçerliliği olmayan parametrelerle doğum korkusunun ölçülmesi, anksiyete ve depresyon semptomlarının ayrıştırılmaması gibi sınırlı-lıklar bulunmaktadır (42). Aynı zamanda, bizim çalışmamızda ve diğer çalışmalarda farklı sonuçların bulunmasının diğer önemli nedeni kullanılan ölçüm araçlarının farklı olmasından kaynaklanabilmektedir.…”

GİRİŞGebelik kadının yaşamında meydana gelen önemli geçiş süreçlerinden biridir (1). Bu süreç kadın için mutluluk verici bir olay olmasına rağ-men, kadınlar için biyo-psikososyal dengenin, aile ve iş rollerinin değiştiği, yeni sorumlulukların edinildiği, yeni role uyumun sağlandığı bir kriz dönemi olabilmektedir (2, 3). Gebelikte meydana gelen değişikler gebede yük, kaygı, stres oluşturabilmekte, gebeliğin endişe ve depresyon ile sonuçlanmasına sebep olabilmektedir (4, 5).Gebelikte psikososyal sağlık birçok faktörden etkilenmektedir (3,5,6). Kadının gebelikteki psikososyal sağlığı; kadının eğitim düzeyi, sosyoekonomik durumu, geçmiş gebelik ve doğum deneyimleri (7), çocuk sayısı, gebeliğin planlı olması, eş ile ilişkisi (2), ailedeki bireylerin gebeye karşı tutumları (8, 9), annenin geçmiş ruhsal hastalıkları, çevredeki olumlu olumsuz rol modelleri, kadının gebelik konusunda doğru ve yeterli bilgisinin olmaması (5), düşük öz saygı, sosyal izolasyon ve algıladığı sosyal destek gibi birçok faktörden etkilenmektedir (10, 11). AbstractObjective: This descriptive study was conducted to examine the relationship between the psychosocial health status and the fear of birth in healthy pregnancies. Methods: The study included 226 healthy pregnant women in their 28th to 40th gestational weeks. The personal information form Pregnancy Psychosocial Health Assessment Scale, and Wijma Delivery Expectancy/ExperienceQuestionnaire (W-DEQ) were used for data collection. For evaluating the data obtained, percentage distribution, averages, Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney U test, and Spearman correlation analysis were used to compare data (p<0.05). Results:The average score of Wijma Delivery Expectancy/Experience Questionnaire (W-DEQ) was 79.95±17.33, and the mean Pregnancy Psychosocial Health Assessment Scale score in pregnancy was 3.02±0.29. There were no effects of some variables on psychosocial health in pregnancy such as the education level, working status and having pre-pregnancy health problems. However, it was determined that the number of living children, the type of family, and information on birth in gestation had an effect on pregnancy psychosocial health status. While there was no significant difference between fear of childbirth and parity, it was determined that there was a significant difference between fear of childbirth and having a pre-pregnancy health problem, getting birth information. Conclusion: There was no significant relationship between the psychosocial health status and the fear of birth in pregnancy. It has been suggested that this study should be supported with new studies due to insufficient studies on the subject.

“…Among 650 women residing in British Columbia 54% reported a moderate level of fear with 21% and 25% of women reporting low and high fear levels respectively (Hall et al, 2009). In Western countries approximately one in five pregnant women has been shown to experience considerable fear of childbirth (Salomonsson, Bertero, & Alehagen, 2013). Inconsistencies in prevalence is most likely due to inconsistent use of data collection instruments and a lack of definition for the commonly used categories of fear such as mild, moderate, and severe.…”
