Strach je prirodzenou emóciou tehotných žien. Niekedy nekomunikovaný strach v období tehotenstva sa môže zintenzívňovať a mať negatívny vplyv na ženu, dieťa i samotný pôrod. Cieľom štúdie bolo identifikovať obsahy strachu u tehotných žien a spôsoby zvládania strachu. Štúdie sa zúčastnilo 156 tehotných žien (29,7 ± 4,7 rokov). Metódou zberu údajov bol dotazník vychádzajúci z Melenderovej tabuľky obsahov strachu. Zistili sme, že tehotné ženy prežívajú najväčší strach o zdravie dieťaťa (64,1 %) a strach z pôrodu (21,8 %). Pri prekonávaní strachu najviac ženám pomáha rozhovor a podpora blízkej osoby (47,1 %) a rozhovor a podpora lekára/pôrodnej asistentky (21,6). Závery výskumu poukazujú na skutočnosti, ktoré by mohli zlepšiť primárnu zdravotnú starostlivosť o tehotné ženy v rámci prevencie zvládania strachu v tehotenstve a počas pôrodu.
