Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to find out if certain characteristics and birth preferences among future mothers influence their fear of childbirth.
- A survey conducted at a university in urban New Zealand included 339 women under 40 who plan to have children, measuring their fear of birth using the Childbirth Fear Prior to Pregnancy (CFPP) scale.
- Key findings showed that women with a preference for cesarean sections, those using epidurals, women born outside New Zealand, and those experiencing severe depression reported higher fear levels about birth, suggesting that better access to information and mental health support could help alleviate these fears.

We sought to examine the rural patient experience by (1) estimating and categorizing the various out of pocket costs associated with traveling for healthcare and (2) describing and measuring patient stress and other experiences associated with traveling to seek care, specifically in relation to household income.
