Results The degree of preterm labor stress and maternal-fetal attachment of pregnant womenwith preterm labor were found to be higher than the middle, and the degree of maternal role confidencewas found to be lower than the middle. There was a positive relation between pretermlabor stress and maternal-fetal attachment(r=.197, p=.030). There was a positive relation betweenpreterm labor stress and interaction with the fetus(r=-.185, p=.042). and role taking among thesubscales of maternal-fetal attachment (r=.346, p=.001). There was a positive correlation, therewas a positive relation between attribution characteristics and intention to the fetus among thesubscales of maternal-fetal attachment and maternal role confidence (r=.254, p=.005).
