Sleep is very important for maternal health and fetal development during pregnancy. Aim: The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between COVID-19 fear and sleep quality of pregnant women and the factors affecting them. Methodology: Descriptive and correlational study was conducted with 295 pregnant women. Data were collected face-to-face, with written informed consent, using the Personal Information Form, Fear of COVID-19 Scale and Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index. In data analysis, parametric tests such as Independent Groups t test, One Way Anova Test, Pearson correlation test were used. Results: The mean age of the pregnant women was 28.6±4.97 years. The mean score of the total Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index was 6.56±2.88 and the mean score of the Fear of COVID-19 Scale was 19.41±5.49. The mean total score of the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index was higher in those who did not work, had a disease and had a second pregnancy, and the difference between them was significant (p<0.05). Sleep quality was poor in 59% of pregnant. A positive, low-level correlation was found between the COVID-19 Fear Scale and daytime dysfunction (r=0.187, p<0.01). Discussion: Similar to our findings, studies have found that the sleep quality of pregnant women during the pandemic period was poor and the levels of fear of COVID-19 were similar. In addition, similar to the findings of this study, another study found that sleep affected the anxiety level of pregnant women. Conclusions: It was found that the majority of pregnant women had poor sleep quality, and fear of COVID-19 caused pregnant women to experience daytime dysfunction. Further studies on COVID-19 fear and sleep quality of pregnant women are recommended. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
