“…There was no significant correlation between FOC and abortion history, age, and marital status, corroborating previous studies [ 20 , 21 , 53 – 55 ]. There was also no association between pregnancy planning and FOC, unlike Dencker et al [ 20 ].…”

Background The fear of childbirth (FOC) harms maternal and fetal health, however it has been little studied in Brazil. This research aimed to determine the prevalence of FOC in a maternity hospital in southern Brazil and identify its associated factors. Methods The Wijma Delivery Expectancy Questionnaire – W-DEQ(A) was used to assess the prevalence of FOC, and its relationship with sociodemographic variables, gestational history, aspects of the current pregnancy, knowledge about childbirth, anxiety symptoms (Beck Anxiety Inventory), depressive symptoms (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale), and perception of social support (Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support) was investigated. Questionnaires about the content of FOC and information sources regarding childbirth were also applied. Results We interviewed 125 pregnant women between 28 and 36 weeks of pregnancy between July and September of 2021, and 12% of them scored ≥ 85 on the W-DEQ(A), indicating severe FOC. There was a significant correlation between FOC and anxiety symptoms (r = 0.50, p < 0.001), depressive symptoms (r = 0.34, p < 0.001), and poor social support (r = -0.23, p = 0.008). FOC was lower in pregnant women with complete elementary education when compared to those with higher education (p = 0.003), however, those with negative experiences in previous deliveries had more FOC than those who had had positive experiences (p = 0.001). More than 85% of them fear fetal distress. Conclusions FOC is a prevalent condition that impacts the mental health of pregnant women. Therefore, health professionals should recognize and address it during prenatal care to provide integral maternal–fetal care and improve the childbirth experience.

“…Ein studie frå Grete Alraek Iversen og medarbeidarar viste at det kan vere vanskeleg å forske på seinverknader etter abort i ein uselektert populasjon sidan det er låg vilje til å delta i slike studiar blant kvinner som tar abort (2). I dette nummer av Tidsskriftet har Simonsen og medarbeidarar studert om det finst ein mogleg samanhang mellom eiga aborthistorie og fødselsangst, med negativt resultat (3). Er dette eit overraskande funn?…”

Background: The fear of childbirth harms maternal and fetal health, but it is little studied in Brazil. This study aimed to calculate the prevalence of fear of childbirth in a maternity hospital in southern Brazil and its associated factors, besides to identify the content of the fear and the information sources about childbirth. Methods: The Wijma Delivery Expectancy Questionnaire (Version A) was used to calculate the prevalence of fear of childbirth, and it's score was associated with sociodemographic variables, gestational history, aspects of the current pregnancy, knowledge about childbirth, anxiety symptoms (Beck Anxiety Inventory), depressive symptoms (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale) and perception of social support (Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support). Were also applied questionnaires about the content of the fear of childbirth and information sources about childbirth. The non-parametric Mann-Whitney, Spearman and Kruskal-Wallis correlation tests were used in the statistical analysis. Results: Were included 125 pregnant women between 28 and 36 weeks of pregnancy, and 12% of them scored ≥85 on the Wijma Delivery Expectancy Questionnaire (Version A), indicating severe fear of childbirth. There was a significant correlation between fear of childbirth and anxiety symptoms (r=0.50, p<0.001), depressive symptoms (r=0.34, p<0.001) and social support (r=-0.23, p=0.008). The fear was lower in pregnant women with complete elementary education compared to those with higher education (p=0.003), and those with negative experiences in previous deliveries had more fear of childbirth than who had positive experiences (p=0.001). More than 85% of them fear fetal distress. Conclusions:Fear of childbirth is a prevalent condition and health professionals must know how to recognize and address it during prenatal care, improving maternal-fetal care.
