This study was conducted to determine the effect of intimate partner violence on childbirth fear of pregnant women. This descriptive and cross-sectional study included 335 pregnant women who applied to pregnant outpatient clinics. The data of the study were collected with Questionnaire Form and Wijma Birth Expectation/Experience Scale A Version (W-DEQ-A). Descriptive statistical methods, test, one-way ANOVA, Mann-Whitney -test, and Kruskal-Wallis test were used in the analysis of the data. W-DEQ-A scale score of pregnant women was found to be 69.34 ± 29.37. It was found that 15.2% of pregnant women experienced "mild level" childbirth fear, 28.4% had "moderate level" childbirth fear, 26.6% had "severe level" childbirth fear, and 29.9% had "clinical level" childbirth fear. It was determined that 49.3% of pregnant women were exposed to any type of violence by their partners. It was found that pregnant women were exposed to 46% verbal violence, 23.9% emotional violence, 13.7% economic violence, 8.7% physical violence, and 2.1% sexual violence. When pregnant women experiencing any type of violence ( = .000), verbal violence ( = .000), emotional violence ( = .000), and economic violence ( = .000) were compared with pregnant women who did not experience violence, W-DEQ-A scores were higher and differences were statistically significant. It was determined to be statistically significant differences of W-DEQ-A scores according to the age of the pregnant women ( = .044), family type ( = .004), place of residence ( = .026), and psychological problems before pregnancy ( = .026). As a result, the rate of violence exerted by their intimate partners against pregnant women was high. In addition, intimate partner violence during pregnancy had negative effects on the fear of childbirth of pregnant women.
这项研究旨在确定亲密伴侣暴力对孕妇分娩恐惧的影响。这是一项描述性和横断面研究，共纳入 335 名就诊于孕妇门诊的孕妇。研究数据采用问卷和 Wijma 分娩期望/体验量表 A 版（W-DEQ-A）收集。数据分析采用描述性统计方法、检验、单因素方差分析、Mann-Whitney -检验和 Kruskal-Wallis 检验。孕妇的 W-DEQ-A 量表评分为 69.34±29.37。研究发现，15.2%的孕妇经历了“轻度”分娩恐惧，28.4%的孕妇经历了“中度”分娩恐惧，26.6%的孕妇经历了“重度”分娩恐惧，29.9%的孕妇经历了“临床级”分娩恐惧。研究还发现，49.3%的孕妇曾遭受过伴侣的任何类型的暴力。研究发现，孕妇遭受过 46%的言语暴力、23.9%的情感暴力、13.7%的经济暴力、8.7%的身体暴力和 2.1%的性暴力。当比较经历过任何类型暴力的孕妇（ = .000）、言语暴力（ = .000）、情感暴力（ = .000）和经济暴力（ = .000）与未经历过暴力的孕妇时，W-DEQ-A 评分更高，差异具有统计学意义。根据孕妇年龄（ = .044）、家庭类型（ = .004）、居住地点（ = .026）和怀孕前心理问题（ = .026），W-DEQ-A 评分存在统计学差异。因此，伴侣对孕妇施加暴力的比率很高。此外，孕期亲密伴侣暴力对孕妇分娩恐惧有负面影响。
