    Effects of depression and anxiety on the fear of childbirth
    (Springer, 2024) Yildirim, Ayse; Alp Yilmaz, Figen
    Childbirth, labor, and the postnatal period are highly impacted by fear of childbirth. Therefore, it is crucial to comprehensively study the FoC, having a multifactorial etiology. We did the current study to reveal the influences of anxiety and depression experienced by expectant women on their fear of childbirth. This cross-sectional study consisted of expectant women in their third trimester who presented to the gynecology and obstetrics department and the LDRP department of a city hospital between November 2019 and May 2020. According to the findings, the level of FoC was moderate in 46% of the participants. Their mean anxiety score was 17.50 & PLUSMN; 8.18, and 41% had mild depression. A positive correlation was identified between participants' FoC and their depression and anxiety levels. It was determined that receiving prenatal education, inability to cope with childbirth, and depression and anxiety experienced by expectant women were significant predictors of their fear of childbirth. Health professionals can provide individualized care, education, and counseling services by taking into account the effects of depression and anxiety so that expectant women's fear of childbirth can be reduced.

Methods: The data of the descriptive cross-sectional study were collected by interviewing 407 pregnant women who applied to the obstetrics clinic-outpatient clinic in a university hospital in the Central Anatolia Region between January and December 2021. “Personal Information Form,” “World Health Organization Short Form of Quality of Life Scale,” and “Prenatal Self-assessment Scale” were used to collect data. In the study, descriptive statistics, analysis of variance, Student’s t test, and Pearson correlation analyses were used to evaluate the data (p < .05). Results: The mean scores of the sub-dimensions of the pregnant women’s quality of life scale were determined as 11.26, 12.61, 12.46, and 12.70, respectively. The mean score of the acceptance of pregnancy sub-dimension was determined as 43.25. It has been determined that educational status, income status, trimester, and number of pregnancies are factors affecting the sub-dimen-sions of quality of life. It has been determined that there is a positive relationship between acceptance of pregnancy and quality of life. Conclusion: It was determined that the quality of life of the pregnant women participating in the study was affected by some socio-demographic and obstetric factors, and there was a positive relationship between acceptance of pregnancy and quality of life. It is recommended that midwife and nurses provide counseling to increase the quality of life of pregnant women. © 2022, AVES. All rights reserved.
