Psychometric Properties of the Arabic Version of the Childbirth Fear—Prior to Pregnancy Scale (CFPP) in a Lebanese Sample
Validating the Arabic CFPP scale for both women and men in an understudied Arabic population, our study offers a valuable tool for identifying childbirth fear prior to pregnancy. This validated scale can improve detection, inform support services, and ultimately benefit both men and women experiencing primary tokophobia. Furthermore, our study paves the way for cross-cultural research tackling cultural influences on primary tokophobia, particularly in non-Western countries.
