Brief Summary:
Pregnancy is a life event that requires biopsychosocial adaptation Although pregnancy is often perceived as a positive and physiological process women experience a wide range of fears of childbirth from simple anxiety to severe phobic fear tokophobia during their pregnancy It is thought that the feeling of experiencing pain often lies at the root of the fear of childbirth However fear of childbirth can be experienced for many different reasons depending on biological psychological and sociocultural factors personal characteristics and experiences The prevalence of fear of childbirth in the world is 14 In Turkey the prevalence of fear of childbirth varies between 16 and 69 and 21 of women experience fear of childbirth at a clinical level In general fear is a physiological reaction that is important for the safety of the individual and it is thought that low-level fear of childbirth will prepare individuals for parenting However uncontrollable fear of childbirth can lead to physical emotional and behavioural changes that negatively affect the womans daily life prolonged labour and childbirth complications Most importantly women who cannot cope with the fear of childbirth may perceive cesarean section as the only solution and turn to elective cesarean section The total cesarean section rate in Turkey is 52 which is much higher than the World Health Organizations acceptable cesarean section rate Fear of childbirth has been accepted as an important public health problem that needs intervention both in the world and in our country and research on fear of childbirth has accelerated especially in the last twenty years
Detailed Description:
Although there are many factors affecting fear of childbirth childbirth self-efficacy is among the important predictors of fear of childbirth Albert Bandura defines self-efficacy as an individuals belief in his or her ability to engage in behaviour that leads to the desired outcome in a given situation Bandura divided self-efficacy into two subcomponents efficacy and outcome expectancy and tried to explain human behaviour in this way While efficacy expectancy describes the individuals belief that they can perform certain behaviours successfully eg the womans belief that she can successfully perform relaxation exercises during labour outcome expectancy refers to the belief that performing a behaviour will lead to a result eg the womans belief that she will experience less pain if she relaxes during labour Self-efficacy is important in determining the direction of emotions thoughts and behaviour patterns For this reason the concept of birth self-efficacy has been defined separately Childbirth self-efficacy refers to the womans self-confidence in coping with labour Women with higher self-efficacy expectations are more likely to initiate and maintain pain-coping strategies High childbirth self-efficacy is associated with improved perinatal outcomes and maternal health A womans self-confidence increases her access to methods of coping with labour and her ability to cope with the fear of birth For this reason it is important to associate the resources that nourish the concept of self-efficacy with childbirth For this reason Lowe associated self-efficacy resources with childbirthPrenatal education is accepted as an effective strategy to improve womens self-efficacy during pregnancy Prenatal education enables expectant mothers to make safe decisions during pregnancy and birth improves their skills in coping with labour pain increases birth self-efficacy and reduces the fear of birth There are also study results showing that prenatal education can affect the type of birth the use of birth-related interventions and obstetric outcomes It is especially important in terms of reducing the rate of interventional childbirth and cesarean sections In recent years yoga has been one of the preferred practices in the prenatal period due to its positive physical and psychological effects Women see yoga as a holistic practice that can meet their needs during pregnancy birth and the postpartum period Despite the physiological effects of breathing exercises and yoga postures on the body during yoga practice studies are often interested in the psychological effects of yoga However study results show that yoga performed during pregnancy can reduce pregnancy-related physiological disorders shorten childbirth times reduce childbirth pain and increase childbirth self-efficacy and vaginal birth rate Yoga provides somatic body awareness especially with the meditation and breathing exercises it includes Awareness of the bodys physiological and psychological changes increases womens self-efficacy during childbirth Considering this aspect there are gaps in the literature regarding the effect of yoga during pregnancy on womens self
