The relationship of perceived social support, personality traits and self-esteem of the pregnant women with the fear of childbirthCalpbinici, PelinTerzioglu, FusunKoc, GultenThis research was conducted to examine the relationship of perceived social support, personality traits, and self-esteem of pregnant women with fear of childbirth. The study was performed between April 15, 2016 and May 15, 2016 using face-to-face interviews with 128 pregnant women who were at 28–40 weeks of pregnancy. A negative correlation between the fear of childbirth and the levels of social support perceived by pregnant women and a positive correlation between the fear of childbirth and self-esteem were observed. Furthermore, a negative correlation between the fear of childbirth and extraversion, self-discipline, and openness to development and a positive correlation between the fear of childbirth and neurotic personality traits were noted. Hence, we propose that social support status, personality traits, and self-esteem of pregnant women should be viewed as risk factors for the fear of childbirth.Taylor and Francis Ltd.2023Articlehttps://rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/r/kostu/10288https://doi.org/10.1080/07399332.2021.20079250739-9332enHealth Care for Women Internationalinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://kostu-rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/tr/items/kostu/10288
