 Amaç: Bu araştırmanın amacı, gebelerin evlilik doyumlarının doğum öncesi algılanan strese etkisini incelemektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel nitelikte yapılan bu araştırma Mayıs 2022-Ağustos 2022 tarihleri arasında Diyarbakır İl Sağlık Müdürlüğüne bağlı eğitim ve araştırma hastanesinde 520 gebe ile yürütülmüştür. Araştırmanın verileri, Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Evlilik Doyum Ölçeği ve Doğum Öncesi Algılanan Stres Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde bağımsız gruplarda t-testi, Mann Whitney U, Varyans, Kruskall Wallis, Pearson korelasyon, Spearman Korelasyon analizleri ile Kurtosis ve Skewness kat sayıları, Cronbach α kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Gebelerin yaş ortalaması 24,304,46 iken, eşlerinin yaş ortalaması 27,954,68 olarak bulundu. Evlilik sürelerinin ortalaması 1,971,66 yıl, haftalık yakın ilişki sıklığı 2,271,04, hastane ziyaret sayılarının ortalaması 6,502,46 olarak bulundu. Gebelerin Evlilik Doyumu Ölçeği puan ortalaması 52,938,47 iken, Doğum Öncesi Algılanan Stres Ölçeği toplam puan ortalaması 2,821,02 olarak bulundu. Gebelerin evlilik doyumlarının algıladıkları doğum öncesi stres düzeylerini etkilemediği belirlendi. Sonuç: Gebelerin evlilik doyumlarının, doğum öncesi algılanan stres üzerinde herhangi bir etkisi yoktur. Kültürel özellikler ve toplum yapısı algı üzerinde önemli bir faktördür. Bu nedenle araştırmanın farklı gruplarda tekrarlanması önerilmektedir.
