Abstract:
Objective:To explore the latent classes of fear of childbirth in late pregnancy women and its relationship with sense of coherence, providing reference for precise support interventions in clinical practice.Methods:From January to September 2023, convenience sampling was used to select 304 pregnant women who underwent antenatal examination at the Obstetrics Clinic of Affiliated Hospital of Hangzhou Normal University as participants. The General Information Questionnaire, Childbirth Attitudes Questionnaire, and the Sense of Coherence Scale-13 (SOC-13) were used for questionnaire survey. Latent profile analysis was used to explore the categories of fear of childbirth in late pregnancy women, and analyzed differences of SOC-13 scores among women with different categories of fear of childbirth.Results:Fear of childbirth in 304 late pregnant women was divided into three latent classes, including low-level fear group of (50.0%, 152/304), moderate-level fear group of (35.2%, 107/304), and high-level fear group of (14.8%, 45/304). ANOVA analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in total score and dimension scores of SOC-13 among late pregnancy women with three different classes of fear of childbirth ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:There are three latent classes of fear of childbirth in late pregnancy women. The sense of coherence among pregnant women affects their fear of childbirth. Nursing staff should address the heterogeneity of fear of childbirth in late pregnancy women, starting from sense of coherence, and take targeted intervention measures to reduce the fear of childbirth in late pregnancy women.
