Ama?: ?al??man?n amac? gebelerin ya??, do?um say?s?, e?itim düzeyi ve g??menlik durumu fakt?rlerinin do?um korkusu üzerine olan etkisini ara?t?rmakt?r. Gere? ve Y?ntem: Bu kesitsel ?al??ma 25.07.2019 – 01.11.2019 tarihleri aras?nda Kütahya Sa?l?k Bilimleri üniversitesi Evliya ?elebi E?itim Ara?t?rma Hastanesi’ne ba?vuran, tamam? okuma yazma bilen, 32-36 hafta aras?ndaki ara?t?rmaya g?nüllü olarak kat?lmay? kabul eden 444 gebe dahil edilerek yap?ld?. Veriler Wijma Do?um Beklentisi/Deneyimi ?l?e?i (W-DEQ) ile toplanm??t?r ve G??men hastalara tercüman e?li?inde poliklinik doktoru taraf?ndan anket sorular? soruldu. Bulgular: ?al??ma grubunu olu?turan gebelerde ortalama ya? 31,65±6,83 y?l idi. Tüm kat?l?mc?lar?n $.8’i (n=110) dü?ük do?um korkusuna, !.8’i (n=97) orta düzey do?um korkusuna, '.9’u (n=124) ?iddetli do?um korkusuna ve %’inde (n=113) ?ok ?iddetli do?um korkusuna sahip olarak belirlenmi?tir.

Sonu?: Do?um korkusu ya?tan, e?itim durumundan, g??menlik durumundan etkilenmekte olup, bu ko?ullar toplumlara g?re de?i?iklik g?stermektedir. Do?um korkusunu artt?ran ko?ullar?n ?nceden belirlenmesi ve se?ilmi? hasta gruplar?nda sosyal destek programlar? uygulanmas? do?um korkusunu azalt?p, ülkemizde artan sezaryen oranlar?n? dü?ürebilir. Purpose: We aimed to investigate the level of fear of childbirth in pregnant women in terms of factors such as age, number of births, education level, and immigration status. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out by including 444 pregnant women who have 32-36 weeks of pregnancy and voluntarily agree to participate in the research, all of them are literate and applied to Kütahya Health Sciences University Evliya ?elebi Training and Research Hospital between 25.07.2019 - 01.11.2019. The data were collected using the Wijma Birth Expectation / Experience Scale (W-DEQ), and the questionnaire was administered to the immigrant patients by an outpatient doctor via an interpreter. Results: The average age of the pregnant women was 31.65 ± 6.83 years. 24.8% (n = 110) of all the participants had low levels of fear of childbirth, 21.8% (n = 97) had moderate fear, 27.9% (n = 124) had severe fear, and 25% (n = 113) were identified as having very severe fear of childbirth. The W-DEQ score increased as the education level increased, but there was no difference between university graduates and postgraduate pregnant women. Fear of childbirth in migrant women was found to be significantly lower compared to Turkish women. Conclusion: Fear of childbirth is affected by age, education, immigration, and these conditions vary among societies. Pre-determining conditions that can increase fear of childbirth and implementing social support programs in selected patient groups may decrease the fear of childbirth and lower the number of cesarean sections in Turkey.
