<![CDATA[Childbirth is a process characterized by regular uterine contractions and causes the gradual opening and thinning of the cervix until the expulsion of the fetus and other products of conception occurs. Ahead of the delivery process, pregnant women need a calm condition and support from family to help smooth the delivery process. Lack of family support can increase maternal anxiety, which has an impact on maternal health such as easy fatigue, sleep disorders, fear, anxiety, and nightmares, as well as the risk of affecting the baby's condition. This study aims to identify and analyze various research results that discuss the relationship between husband's support with the level of anxiety in mothers who face childbirth. This study uses the literature review method. Literature search was carried out using the electronic database Science Direct and Google Scholar using 8 articles. The selection of studies was based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The methodological quality assessment of each study was carried out using the instruments of the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). The results of the synthesis showed that all the articles analyzed consistently found a significant relationship between husband's support and the level of anxiety of pregnant women in the face of childbirth. The anxiety experienced by pregnant women in the face of childbirth is related to the support of the husband and family. Optimal husband support in the form of attention, motivation, mentoring, instrumental assistance, and information tends to reduce anxiety and increase maternal security and readiness, while lack of support and experience in primigravida mothers can increase anxiety.]]>
