To assess the effect of attending antenatal classes on fear of childbirth and antenatal stress in nulliparous pregnant women.
A total of 133 nulliparous pregnant women participated in the study, which had a quasi-experimental design. Data were collected by a descriptive data form, the Wijma Delivery Expectancy/Experience Questionnaire, and the Antenatal Perceived Stress Inventory (APSI).
A significant correlation was found between antenatal class attendance and having a high schooling level and an intended pregnancy (p < 0.05). The mean fear of childbirth score of pregnant women was 85.50 ± 19.41 before the training and 76.32 ± 20.52 after the training, and the difference between these scores was significant (p < 0.01). Fear of childbirth score were not significantly different between the intervention group and the control group. The mean APSI score of pregnant women in the intervention group was 22.32 ± 6.12 before the training and 21.79 ± 5.97 after the training. However, this difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.70).
The fear of childbirth score decreased significantly in the intervention group after the training.
评估参加产前课程对初产妇分娩恐惧和产前压力的影响。
共有 133 名初产妇参与了这项准实验设计研究。通过描述性数据表格、Wijma 分娩期望/体验问卷和产前感知压力量表（APSI）收集数据。
产前课程的参加与高学历水平和计划怀孕呈显著正相关（p < 0.05）。培训前，孕妇的分娩恐惧平均得分为 85.50 ± 19.41，培训后为 76.32 ± 20.52，两者之间的差异具有统计学意义（p < 0.01）。干预组和对照组的分娩恐惧得分无显著差异。干预组孕妇的 APSI 平均得分为培训前 22.32 ± 6.12，培训后 21.79 ± 5.97。然而，这一差异没有统计学意义（p = 0.70）。
培训后，干预组孕妇的分娩恐惧评分显著降低。
