Objective: This cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate the fear of Covid-19 and prenatal adaptation in pregnant women during the pandemic. Method: The study was completed with 400 pregnant women who applied to a training and research hospital between December 2021 and May 2022 and met the inclusion criteria. Data were collected using a "Personal Information Form", the "Fear of COVID-19 Scale", and the "Prenatal Self Evaluation Questionnaire (PSEQ)", through face-to-face interviews with pregnant women whose consent was obtained after the necessary information provided by the researcher. The data were analyzed using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) for Windows 25.0 program and evaluated using descriptive statistical methods such as number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, minimum, maximum, median, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis, Bonferroni test and Spearman correlation analysis. Results: The Fear of COVID-19 Scale and PSEQ mean scores of the pregnant women were 12.18±4.41 and 141.79±18.19, respectively. There was a statistically significant positive weak correlation between their Fear of COVID-19 Scale and PSEQ mean scores (r=0.184, p<0.05), suggesting that the pregnant women with high fear of Covid-19 had low levels of prenatal adaptation. Conclusion: It is very important to provide maternal and child health services by considering the pandemic effect for the continuation of healthy societies in the ongoing and future pandemic or epidemic situations. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
