The present study was conducted with the aim of providing a structural model of anxiety disorders based on mental health and with the mediating role of coping strategies in pregnant women.
Materials and Methods: This study is a description of correlation and structural equations in terms of practical purpose and in terms of implementation method. In the field of research data collection, two library and field methods were used. In the field part, to collect the information required for the research, Spitzer et al.'s (2006) Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7), Goldberg's mental health (1972) and Lazarus and Folkman's (1988) coping strategies were used.
