Abstract: This study aims to investigate the psychosocial health of pregnant woman and its association with fear of childbirth and spouse support. This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with 250 women who applied to the Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinics of Sivas Numune Hospital between 12.03.2019 - 18.07.2019. Pregnant Introduction Form, Pregnancy Psychosocial Health Assessment Scale (PPHAS), Wijma Delivery Expectancy Questionnaire (W-DEQ) Version A and Spouse Support Scale (SSS) were used for data collection. For the comparison, regarding the data with normal distribution, t test for two groups and ANOVA for more than two groups were employed; regarding the data with non-normal distribution, Mann Whitney U test and Kruskal Wallis for more than two independent groups were used. A significant and negative correlation was determined between the psychosocial health of the participants and their fear of childbirth (p<0.001), and there was a significant and positive correlation between psychosocial health and spouse support (p<0.001). The fear of women regarding childbirth negatively affects psychosocial health status, while a high level of perceived spouse support positively affects psychosocial health in pregnancy.
