Purpose: This study was conducted to determine the effects of pregnant women's personality traits on the fear of childbirth (FOC). Design and methods:In total, 422 pregnant women who consulted an antenatal polyclinic at a hospital in Turkey were included in this descriptive cross-sectional study. For data collection, a demographic questionnaire, the Quick Big Five Personality Test, and version A of the Wijma delivery expectancy questionnaire (W-DEQ A) were used.Findings: It was determined that as the scores of two of the personality traits, ie, agreeableness and conscientiousness, increased, planned pregnancies increased. The W-DEQ A median score was 61.5. The variables affecting the W-DEQ A score included emotional stability, agreeableness, openness to experience, and conscientiousness. Practice implications: Determining the personality traits of pregnant women can contribute to helping individuals with personality traits related to the FOC during the antenatal period.
