Description
Bibi Leila Hoseini and co-authors grade scales that measure fear of childbirth in a 2024 review. Such fear is the most common mental health strain in pregnancy, and sound scales are key to finding who needs help. The team searched five databases for scale studies to May 2024 and scored them with the COSMIN checklist.
Of more than a thousand records, 47 studies fed the review, and half of them used one leading questionnaire. Eighteen scales were weighed in all. One, the Fear of Childbirth Questionnaire, earned the top grade, while eleven more landed in sound bands. The guide helps clinics pick a scale with proof behind it.
