structured index of 43-items developed by the researcher. The findings revealed that pregnant
women experienced a low degree of psychosocial disorders with no significant differences in
the level of prenatal psychosocial disorders due to age during the previous pregnancy,
number of pregnancies, and level of academic qualifications. However, statistically
