Abstract:

 Objective: This study was conducted to determine the levels of fear of childbirth in primiparous pregnant women according to trimesters. Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted in primiparous pregnant women who came to the Eyyübiye Training and Research Hospital Gynecology and Obstetrics Polyclinic in Şanlıurfa between October 2021 and June 2022. The sample of this study consisted of 321 primiparous pregnant women who came to the obstetrics clinic. The data of this study were collected using Personal Information Form and Wijma Birth ExpectationExperience Scale W-DEQ Version A. While evaluating the data, arithmetic mean, number and percentage values, standard deviation and one-way ANOVA test were used. Results: In this study, it was found that 75.7 of primiparous pregnants were younger than 25 years old, 48.0 had secondary and high school education levels. It was determined that the level of fear of birth of the pregnant women was at a moderate level 64.5218.7. It was found that the difference between the scale score averages according to the income level of the pregnant women p0.000 and overcoming the labor pain p0.040 was statistically significant, and it has been found that the fear of childbirth is higher in pregnant women whose income is less than their expenses and who do not know whether they can cope with labor pain. Conclusion: It was found that all of the pregnant women had fear of birth, the level of fear of birth was at a moderate level, and the fear of birth experienced by pregnant women did not differ significantly according to trimesters.

 Amaç: Bu çalışma, primipar gebelerde trimesterlere göre doğum korkusu düzeylerinin belirlenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel türde olan bu çalışma, Şanlıurfa ilinde bulunan Eyyübiye Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Kadın Hastalıkları ve Doğum Polikliniğine gelen pirimipar gebelerde Ekim 2021 - Haziran 2022 tarihlerinde yapılmıştır. Bu araştırmanın örneklemini kadın doğum polikliniğine gelen 321 primipar gebe oluşturmuştur. Bu çalışmanın verileri Kişisel Bilgi Formu ve Wijma Doğum BeklentisiDeneyimi Ölçeği W-DEQ A Versiyonu kullanılarak toplanılmıştır. Veriler değerlendirilirken aritmetik ortalama, sayı ve yüzde değerleri, standart sapma ve tek yönlü ANOVA testi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Bu çalışmada primipar gebelerin 75,7sinin 25 yaşından küçük olduğu, 48,0ının eğitiminin ortaokul ve lise düzeyinde olduğu bulunmuştur. Gebelerin doğum korkusu düzeyinin orta düzeyde 64.5218.7 olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Gebelerin gelir düzeyine p0,000 göre ve doğum ağrısının üstesinden gelme durumuna p0,040 göre ölçek puan ortalamaları arasındaki farkın istatistiksel olarak önemli olduğu, geliri giderinden az olan ve doğum ağrısıyla baş edip edemeyeceğini bilmeyen gebelerin doğum korkusunun daha fazla olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç: Gebelerin tamamının doğum korkusu yaşadığı, doğum korkusu düzeyinin orta düzeyde olduğu, gebelerin yaşadığı doğum korkusunun trimesterlere göre önemli bir farklılık göstermediği bulunmuştur.
