Abstract

Purpose : The aim of this study is to investigate the contribution of psycoeducation to reduce FOC among primigravida and nulligravida mothers between 2015 and 2023. A literature review study was conducted to explore the effects of psychoeducation on pregnancy anxiety. Method : Systematically reviewed studies between 2015 and 2023, the researchers searched a total of 10 studies. This review uses search research from Pubmed, Science Direct and Google Scholar as sources. Result : This study found variations between primary and secondary types of fear of childbirth (FOC). A woman who experiences primary FOC, also known as childbirth anxiety (Primigravida), is newly pregnant and about to give birth for the first time. Secondary fear of childbirth is caused by trauma or a painful birth event (Nulligravida). Pharmacological and non-medical treatments such as psychoeducation were improved to relieve during labour anxiety, confidence during labour, reduction of depressive symptoms, and decrease in caesarean delivery rates
