Objective: The research was carried out as a descriptive study to evaluate the relationship between the psychosocial health status of pregnant women and the perception of motherhood role. Methods: The study was conducted with 420 pregnant women who went to the polyclinics of Nenehatun Maternity Hospital in the center of Erzurum city for their antenatal controls between September 2013 and June 2014. The data were collected by using the ‘Personal Information Form’, ‘Pregnancy Psychosocial Health Assessment Scale (PPHAS)’ and ‘Semantic Differential Scale- Myself as a Mother (MaM)’scale. In the evaluation of the data; Descriptive statistics such as number, percentage and mean mean, t-test, One-Way Analysis of Variance, Kruskall-Wallis H, Mann Whitney-U test and Pearson Correlation analysis were used. Results: It was determined that the total mean score of the pregnant women from the GPSSS was 4.33±0.37, and the total mean score from the AOB scale was 60.5±9.9. It was determined that there was a difference between the GPSSS mean scores according to the perception of income status, number of pregnancies, planning of pregnancy and the spouse's desire for pregnancy (p<0.05). It was determined that there was a difference between the mean AOB scale scores in terms of gestational week, planning status of pregnancy and the spouse's desire for pregnancy (p<0.05). It was found that there was a weak positive correlation between GPSDS and AOB scale mean scores ( p<0.01, r= .162). Conclusion: In this study, it was determined that pregnant women had a good level of perception of psychosocial health and the perception of motherhood role. It was determined that as the level of psychosocial health increased, they perceived themselves more positively as mothers.
