This study aimed to investigate the relationship between fear of childbirth and neonatal outcomes.This was a cross-sectional study, on 255 nulliparous women who were admitted to Asali Hospital of Khorramabad in 2016 to give birth. Samples were selected among women who were admitted in the hospital for delivery. Data were collected using, a demographic questionnaire, questionnaire of fear of delivery, and acheck list for recording neonatal outcomes.Results showed that neonatal outcome (distress, admission of neonate in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) were not significantly associated with fear of childbirth (P>0.05).The findings showed that there was no negative effects between neonatal outcomes and fear of childbirth.
