Abstract

This study aimed to identify the factors affecting primiparous pregnant women’s prenatal attachment levels, childbirth self-efficacy beliefs, and labor worry levels. This cross-sectional study was conducted with 351 pregnant women. The data were collected by using a Personal Information Form, the Prenatal Attachment Inventory, the Oxford Worries about Labour Scale, and the Childbirth Self-Efficacy Inventory. The mean Prenatal Attachment Inventory, Oxford Worries About Labour Scale and Childbirth Self-Efficacy Inventory scores of the participants were 40.53 ± 10.32, 21.82 ± 6.8, and 201.35 ± 23.21, respectively. The data obtained in the study showed that the care offered in the preconception period affected the participating pregnant women’s prenatal attachment, labor worry, and childbirth self-efficacy levels. With individualized preconception care provided by health personnel, not only will awareness be increased but also women will be able to have a more positive pregnancy and labor experience.
