Abstract

Aim: The present study aims to find out fear of COVID-19 and antenatal attachment levels of pregnant women and the relationship between these. Method: This descriptive study was conducted with 210 healthy pregnant women admitted to Obstetrics and Gynaecology Polyclinics of a hospital in Black Sea Region of Turkey. The data were collected with “Introductory Information Form”, “Fear of Covid-19 Scale (FCS)” and “Maternal Antenatal Attachment Scale (MAAS)”. Results: Mean FCS score of pregnant women was found as 19.39±6.82, while their mean MAAS score was found as 74.57±8.31. The difference between pregnant women’s fear of coming to hospital for pregnancy follow-up/care and worrying about their/their baby’s health during the pandemic period and their FCS scores was statistically significant (p=0.012; p=0.001, respectively). The difference between pregnant women’s planning/wanting pregnancy and referring to health institution regularly for pregnancy follow-up/care and their MAAS scores was also statistically significant (p=0.032; p=0.003, respectively). A very weak and positive significant correlation was found between pregnant women’s FCS scores and the factor of time spent on attachment (r=0.192, p=0.005). Conclusion: It was found in the study that the time pregnant women spent on antenatal attachment increased as their COVID-19 fears increased.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışma gebelerin COVID-19’a ilişkin korku ve doğum öncesi bağlanma düzeylerini ve bunlar arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı tipte olan araştırma, Türkiye’nin Karadeniz Bölgesi’nde bulunan bir hastanenin Doğum ve Kadın Hastalıkları Poliklinikleri’ne başvuran 210 sağlıklı gebe ile yapılmıştır. Veriler “Gebe Tanılama Formu”, “Covid-19 Korkusu Ölçeği (KKÖ)” ve " Doğum Öncesi Anne Bağlanma Ölçeği (DÖABÖ)" ile toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Gebelerin KKÖ puan ortalaması 19,39±6,82 ve DÖABÖ puan ortalaması 74,57±8,31 idi. Gebelerin salgın sürecinde gebelik takibi/bakımı için hastaneye gelmeye korkması ve kendisinin/bebeğinin sağlığından endişelenmesi ile KKÖ puanları arasında fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlıydı (sırasıyla p=0,012; p=0,001). Gebelerin gebeliğini planlaması/istemesi ve gebelik izlemi/bakımı için düzenli olarak sağlık kurumuna gelmesi ile DÖABÖ puanları arasındaki fark da istatistiksel olarak anlamlıydı (sırasıyla p=0,032; p=0,003). Gebelerin KKÖ ile bağlanmaya harcanan zaman alt boyutu arasında çok zayıf düzeyde pozitif yönlü anlamlı bir ilişki bulundu (r=0,192, p=0,005). Sonuç: Araştırmada gebelerin COVID-19’a ilişkin korkuları arttıkça doğum öncesi bağlanmaya harcadığı zamanın arttığı ortaya çıkmıştır.
