This research is a scoping review by adapting the framework of Arskey and O'Malley. Prisma-Scr flowchart is used to display the literature search flow. Research articles searched using 3 search engines, namely: PubMed, RsearchGate, and ScienceDirect. This study uses the Joana Briggs Institute Appraisal Tools to assess the quality of articles. The inclusion criteria used were published 2018 – 2022, articles in English, focused on the husband's role in reducing maternal anxiety. The results of the review show that there are 25 potentially relevant articles and 8 articles that meet the requirements to be selected.

This review raises 3 themes, namely the husband's role in childbirth, the inhibiting factors of the husband's role in the birth process, the health system. The presence of husbands to accompany their wives during the birth process will actively relieve pain and provide emotional support to increase the bond between husband and wife.
