The sample of the study consisted of 393 pregnant women. 'Personal Information Form', 'Pregnancy Psychosocial Health Assessment Scale (PPHAS)', and 'Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS)' were used to collect data, and Student's t-test, ANOVA and Tukey's HSD tests were used for the data analysis. The relationship between the two continuous variables was evaluated according to the Pearson correlation coefficient.Results: Psychosocial health conditions and perceived social supports of pregnant women whose spouses were working were determined to be significantly higher (p Conclusions: It is recommended that health care needs of pregnant women should be evaluated not only in terms of physical health but also together with their psychosocial health and social supports.
