Abstract

Objective: To determine examine the relationship between coronavirus anxiety and hospital anxiety of pregnant women who applied to the hospital for planned cesarean section. Design: This was a prospective descriptive study. Setting: This study was conducted in the three university hospitals in Istanbul. Participants: Sample consisted of a total of 142 women who applied for planned cesarean section between the gestational weeks 36-39. Methods: Data were collected using the “Coronavirus Anxiety Scale”, the “Prenatal Distress Questionnaire”, and the “Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale”. Results: The mean age of the women was 32.14±4.25 years and the average period of gestation was 38.97±2.39 weeks. A moderately positive significant correlation was found between the coronavirus anxiety, prenatal distress, and hospital anxiety and depression scores of the pregnant women who participated in the study (p<0.001; r=0.493; r=0.393; r=0.413). Conclusions: Pregnant women tend to increase their anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was found that the COVID-19 stress was higher in those who were diagnosed with COVID-19 in their family, used protective equipment more, and had relatives who would support them in the hospital; whereas, their stress increased the levels of hospital anxiety and prenatal distress.

Özet

Amaç: Çalışmada planlı sezaryen ameliyatı için hastaneye başvuran gebelerin koronavirüs anksiyetesi ile hastane anksiyetesi arasında ilişkiyi incelemek amacı ile planlandı. Metod: Bu tanımlayıcı çalışma, İstanbul’da bulunan üç hastanede 142 gebe ile yapıldı. Veriler “Koronavirüs Anksiyete Ölçeği”, "Prenatal Distres Ölçeği” ve “Hastane Anksiyete Depresyon Ölçeği” kullanılarak toplandı. Bulgular: Kadınların yaş ortalaması 32.14±4.25 yıl, gebelik süreleri ortalama 38.97±2.39 haftadır. Çalışmaya katılan gebelerin, koronavirüs anksiyetesi, prenatal distres, hastane anksiyetesi ve depresyon puanları arasında pozitif yönde orta düzeyde anlamlı ilişki saptandı (p<0.001; r=0.493; r=0.393; r=0.413). Sonuç: Gebelerin, COVID-19 salgını sırasında kaygıları artırma eğilimindedir. Ailesinde COVID-19 tanısı alan, koruyucu ekipman kullanan, hastanede kendisine destek olacak yakınları bulunan kişilerde COVID-19 stresinin daha yüksek olduğu belirlendi. Koronovirüs anksiyetesindeki artış, hastane anksiyetesi ve prenatal distres düzeylerini arttırmaktadır.
