Summary/Abstract: This study was conducted to determine the distress levels of pregnant women who applied to the emergency obstetrics clinic. The research population was created by pregnant women who came to the pregnant emergency department of a public hospital in the Southeastern Anatolia region between May-2023 and July-2023. In calculating the sample size of the study with a known sample size, the number of samples was calculated as prevalence with a 5% error level and a 95% confidence interval, and 300 pregnant women were included in the sample. Introductory Information Form and Tilburg Pregnancy Distress Scale (TGDS) were used in pregnant women. In our study, it was found that the difference between educational status and TGDS total and negative affect subscale score averages was statistically significant. It was determined that the average TGDS score of women who had problems in their previous pregnancies was higher than those who did not. As a result, the study found that pregnancy, emergency obstetrics and distress were highly associated. It was determined that as pregnant women’s spousal support increased, their feelings of anxiety and anxiety during pregnancy decreased. It was determined that pregnant women with high income levels had low distress scores. Evaluating women not only physiologically but also psychologically during pregnancy has an important place in protecting the health of both the mother and the fetus/baby.
