Abstract
This research links pregnant women's childbirth beliefs to their fear of childbirth. Data was collected from 292 pregnant women who visited the Non –Stress Test Room of a hospital in northern Turkey between March 22 and December 4, 2023. The simple linear regression model the model was significant and usable (F = 10.633, p = 0.001). The increase in pregnant women's belief that birth is a medical process (t = 3.261, p = 0.001, β = 5.693) caused a statistical increase in their fear of childbirth. The most important variable that predicts the fear of childbirth variable of pregnant women is belief that childbirth is a medical process. In this Turkish sample, beliefs that childbirth is a natural process are more common than beliefs that childbirth is a medical process.
