Wijma (WDEQ) questionnaire, which was developed by Klaas Wijma and Barbro Wijma in 2004, is a global recognized psychological assessment tool designed to measure fear of birth (FOC) among pregnant women and mothers after birth. This tool deals with an important aspect of the mental health, as fear of birth can significantly affect the emotional luxury of women, pregnancy experience, and birth results. Available in two versions, A (WDEQ-A) for prenatal and version B (WDEQ-B) to use postpartum, WDEQ picks up expected concerns and live experiences, providing a comprehensive approach to understanding this complex emotional state.
