CBRF as the predictor of fertility intentions, mediated by childbirth readiness levels (N = 1119)

Model pathways Estimates Boot SE 95% CI (bootstrapping = 5000)
Total effect CBRF → Y(c) − 0.124 0.015 − 0.154 to − 0.094
Direct effect CBRF → Y(c’) − 0.113 0.015 − 0.143 to − 0.083
Indirect effect CBRF → M → Y(a × b) − 0.012 0.004 − 0.021 to − 0.005

Y = level of fertility intentions; M = childbirth readiness levels; CI confidence interval; SE standard error; CBRF childbirth-related fear
