Summary
This study tested whether structured educational sessions could reduce tokophobia—an intense fear of pregnancy and childbirth—in 50 pregnant women in Egypt. The program included five sessions covering causes, coping strategies, and lifestyle tips. Researchers measured changes in fear levels, awareness, coping skills, and quality of life before and after the sessions.
