Abstract

Araştırma, pandemi döneminde gebelik yaşayan kadınların prenatal bağlanma ve yalnızlık duyguları arasındaki ilişkisinin incelenmesi amacı ile gerçekleştirildi. Çalışmanın evrenini 2814 gebe, örneklemini ise gebeliğinin 20-38 haftaları arasında olan 360 kadın oluşturdu. Çalışma, bir kadın doğum polikliniğine başvuran gebelerle 1 Eylül-31 Aralık 2021 tarihleri arasında yürütüldü. Veriler, Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Doğum Öncesi Anne Bağlanma Ölçeği (DÖABÖ), UCLA Yalnızlık Ölçeği Versiyon-3 (UCLA LS-3) ölçeği ile toplandı. Gebelerin % 61.1’i 18-30 yaş arasındadır. Gebelerin sigara kullanma durumu ile DÖABÖ-Bağlanma Kalitesi alt boyutu arasında (p=0.025), toplam gebelik sayısı ile DÖABÖ-Bağlanma İçin Harcanan Zaman alt boyutu arasında (p=0.045), gebelikler arasındaki süre ile DÖABÖ toplam puan ve DÖABÖ-Bağlanma İçin Harcanan Zaman alt boyutu arasında (p=0.011; p=0.004), sağlık hizmeti desteği alma durumu ile UCLA-LS3 arasında (p=0.018) istatiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki saptandı. Katılımcıların UCLA LS-3 ile DÖABÖ ölçekleri arasında negatif yönde ilişki olduğu bulundu (r=-0.195; p=0.000). Bu sonuçlar doğrultusunda çok merkezli çalışmalar yapılarak gebelerde yalnızlık ve prenatal bağlanma düzeylerinin belirlenmesi önerilir.

The Determination of Loneliness and Prenatal Attachment Levels in Pregnant Women During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

The study was carried out to examine the relationship between prenatal attachment and feelings of loneliness in women who were pregnant during the pandemic period. The population of the study consisted of 2814 pregnant women, and the sample consisted of 360 women between 20-38 weeks of pregnancy. The study was conducted between September 1 and December 31, 2021, with pregnant women who applied to the gynecology clinic. Data were collected with Personal Information Form, Maternal Antenatal Attachment Scale (MAAS), and UCLA Loneliness Scale Version-3 (UCLA LS-3) scale. It was determined that 61.1% of the pregnant women were between the ages of 18-30. Between smoking status and MAAS- Attachment quality sub-dimension (p=0.025), total number of pregnancies and MAAS-Time spent on attachment sub-dimension (p=0.045), time between pregnancies and MAAS Statistically significant correlations were found between total score, MAAS-Time spent on attachment sub-dimension (p=0.011; p=0.004), healthcare support status and UCLA-LS3 (p=0.018).Participants were found to have a negative correlation between UCLA LS-3 and MAAS scales (r= -0.195; p=0.000). It is recommended to determine loneliness and prenatal attachment levels in pregnant women by conducting multi-center studies.
