In this study our aim was to determine the effect of pregnant women’s perception of level of multidimensional social support during pregnancy on their state anxiety level. The sample comprised 160 pregnant women who were pregnant and attending antenatal polyclinics at Corum State Hospital between March 2011 and June 2011. The data were assessed using percentages, arithmetic means, standard deviations, t test, and 1-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). We found a correlation between anxiety levels and the score for social support of a significant person and total social support score. According to our results it may be said that high social support given during pregnancy has the effect of reducing the pregnant woman’s anxiety.
