简要总结
Physical changes that occur during pregnancy, transition to parenthood and taking on new responsibilities cause burden, anxiety and stress in women and negatively affect psychosocial health. One of the conditions that negatively affect psychosocial health during pregnancy is the fear of childbirth.

详细描述
2.1.Study Design
This research was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of guided imagery on the psychosocial health and fear of childbirth of primiparous pregnant women. The study was conducted between July 20, 2022 and January 20, 2023 with pregnant women admitted to the obstetrics and gynecology outpatient clinic of XXX Hospital in Gaziantep, Turkey. The hospital where the study was conducted has 7 gynecology outpatient clinics and 1 pregnancy school.
2.2.Sample
The population of the research consisted of all primiparous pregnant women in the 24-28th week of pregnancy. The sample size was calculated using the G Power program. Previous studies were examined and the expected confidence intervals of the "Psychosocial Health Assessment Scale in Pregnancy (PPHAS)" were determined and the confidence interval was calculated as 80 primiparous with α = 0.05, test power (1-β) 0.95, and effect size d= 1.14. Minimum number of pregnant women required in the two groups was found to be 40 for the expectation that there would be a significant difference between the experimental group and the control group in terms of psychosocial health. The sample of the study consisted of 80 pregnant women, 40 in the experimental group and 40 in the control group. The study reached 91 participants, but 11 participants were excluded because they refused to participate in the study (Figure 1). Medcalc version 18.11.3 was used for the randomization list in assigning pregnant women to groups.
