Abstract

Background: Anxiety about childbirth is an emotional response experienced by pregnant women. One factor influencing this anxiety is the family's income level. If the income level is adequate, anxiety about childbirth tends to be lower, as third-trimester pregnant women are more physically and psychologically prepared. Objective: This study aims to examine the relationship between income level and anxiety about childbirth in third-trimester pregnant women at health centers in Bantul Regency. Research Method: This study employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The population consisted of third-trimester pregnant women attending ANC visits at the Pleret Health Center, Sewon II Health Center, and Piyungan Health Center. The sample included 180 respondents, selected using quota sampling. The Kendall Tau test was used for statistical analysis. Research Result: Statistical analysis showed a p-value of 0.022 (<0.05). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between income level and anxiety level about childbirth in third-trimester pregnant women at health centers in Bantul Regency.
