Research data were collected from 453 mothers who gave birth in a public hospital between September and November 2020. The mean COV-19S score of the mothers in the postpartum period was 22.69  5.44, the mean BAI score was 14.97  11.47, and the mean MIAS score was 5.78  4.99.

N2  - Bu çalışma, doğum sonrası dönemde kadınların COVID-19'a yakalanma korkusu, anksiyete düzeyi ve anne-bebek bağlanması düzeylerini belirlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Araştırma verileri Eylül-Kasım 2020 tarihleri arasında bir devlet hastanesinde doğum yapan 453 anneden toplanmıştır. Annelerin doğum sonu dönemde korku puan ortalaması 22.69  5.44, anksiyete puan ortalaması 14.97  11.47, anne-bebek bağlanma puan ortalaması 5.78  4.99 olarak belirlenmiştir. Araştırmada yapılan çoklu regresyon analizine göre, pandemi döneminde COVID-19 korkusu düzeyi, anksiyete durumu ve haber/sosyal medya takibi nedeniyle duyulan kaygı arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmaktadır (p < 0,0001). Modellemeye dahil edilen bağımsız değişkenler, COVİD-19 korku düzeyini %33 oranında açıklama gücüne sahip olduğu saptanmıştır. Araştırmada, pandemi döneminde doğum sonrası dönemdeki annelerin korku düzeylerinin yüksek, kaygı ve bağlanma düzeylerinin ise düşük olduğu belirlenmiştir. Anne-bebek bağlanmasını etkileyen faktörler arasında annelerin depresyon düzeyi, pandemi döneminde emzirme kaygısı, bebeğin sağlığına ilişkin endişeler, COVID-19'a yakalanma korkusu ve eğitim düzeyi yer almaktadır.
