Abstract
Objective. This study investigated the relationship between fear of childbirth (FOC) and mode of delivery and proposed a cut-off value of FOC for an unselected Turkish pregnant population. Materials and Methods. This cross-sectional study was conducted between March 2019 and February 2020 at Kirsehir Ahi Evran University Obstetrics and Gynecology Polyclinic. The Wijma Delivery Expectancy (WDEQ-A) Scale and General Information Form were used for data collection. Results. Social-media effect, concern for disorder in baby, education level, and fear of vaginal bleeding were significant risk factors for the study groups. A new cut-off value of FOC was proposed based on the distribution of FOC scores as 69 (fourth quartile) for an unselected Turkish pregnant population. Conclusions. Training programs regarding delivery and pregnancy processes were recommended to be organized to reduce FOC. Moreover, the newly proposed cut-off value of FOC was recommended to be utilized in clinics.
