<![CDATA[Anxiety in pregnant women approaching labor is a common psychological condition that can affect maternal well-being and birth outcomes. Family support is considered an important factor in reducing anxiety levels during this critical period. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between family support and anxiety levels among pregnant women approaching labor. This research used a quantitative correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. The study involved third-trimester pregnant women who were nearing delivery and attending antenatal care services at a selected health facility (N=50). Data were collected using structured questionnaires measuring family support and anxiety levels. Family support was assessed based on emotional, informational, and instrumental support, while anxiety levels were measured using a standardized anxiety scale. Data were analyzed using the Spearman correlation test with a significance level of p<0.05. The results showed that most respondents with good family support experienced lower anxiety levels, while those with poor family support tended to have moderate to high anxiety. Statistical analysis indicated a significant relationship between family support and anxiety levels among pregnant women approaching labor (r=-0.648 and p<0.001). These findings suggest that strengthening family involvement during pregnancy can reduce maternal anxiety and improve psychological readiness for childbirth]]>
