The significance level of the tests was considered as P < ۰.۰۵.Results: ۵۳.۴% of women had moderate anxiety and ۶۰.۶% of pregnant women had high levels of perceived stress. There was a direct and significant correlation between anxiety-perceived stress and emotion-focused strategy (P<۰.۰۰۱).Conclusion: The present study showed high
