Summary
Kehamilan termasuk salah satu periode krisis dalam proses kehidupan seorang perempuan dan merupakan masa yang sulit, khususnya pada kehamilan pertama [1]. Pada masa kehamilan terjadi banyak perubahan baik secara fisiologis maupun psikologis sebagai akibat terjadinya perubahan hormon dalam diri ibu hamil [3]. Gangguan emosi yang dialami wanita saat hamil mempengaruhi perilaku atau sikap selama kehamilan [6]. Ibu hamil yang selama masa mengandung memperlihatkan sikap dan perilaku yang penuh ketegangan emosional, umumnya dapat berakibat pada pertumbuhan dan perkembangan janin dalam kandungan. Kecemasan pada ibu yang akan menghadapi kelahiran anak pertama dapat disebabkan oleh beberapa faktor, antara lain dukungan sosial, kecerdasan emosi dan usia ibu sewaktu hamil [18].
