This 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.
本研究旨在探讨孕妇感知到的社会支持、人格特质和自尊与分娩恐惧之间的关系。该研究于2016年4月15日至2016年5月15日进行,采用面对面访谈的方式,对128名怀孕28 - 40周的孕妇进行了调查。研究发现,孕妇的分娩恐惧与感知到的社会支持水平呈负相关,与自尊呈正相关。此外,分娩恐惧与外向性、自律性和开放性呈负相关,与神经质人格特质呈正相关。因此,我们认为孕妇的社会支持状况、人格特质和自尊应被视为分娩恐惧的危险因素。
