Published in: International journal of nursing knowledge (2023)

The results of this study help nurses, OB nursing practitioners, nurse-midwives, and midwives to identify the condition of women's FOC during pregnancy and guide nursing therapeutic interventions to decrease the negative effects on women's health and well-being. Therefore, there are valuable reasons to propose using "fear of childbirth" as a ND in the class "coping responses" within domain coping/stress tolerance, contributing to refining the NANDA-I taxonomy.
