Becoming a Mother in the Shadow of Tocophobia
Özet
Labor represents a process that involves many changes both physiologically and psycho-socially for the woman and her family. In the antenatal period, uncertainties related to birth or negative experiences related to the birth process, birth stories heard from others affect the perception of birth. This picture prepares the ground for women to experience “tocophobia”, an umbrella term defined as a severe fear of childbirth and the postpartum period. Tocophobia has the potential to negatively affect the desire to have a child, the mode of delivery, newborn and maternal health. Therefore, nurses' definition of tocophobia and knowledge about risk factors contribute to its prevention. Nurses may have the opportunity to intervene by evaluating pregnant women with tocophobia and planning appropriate nursing approaches by using their educational and counseling roles.
