Aim: Aim of study is to determine fear, avoidance attitude and vaccination towards COVID-19 and breastfeeding self-efficacy of mothers with 0-6 months old babies in rural area. Material and Method: This is a cross-sectional study. Sample consisted of 297 mothers with 0-6 month old babies. Data were collected through the Introductory Information Form, Fear of COVID-19 Scale, Avoidance Attitudes from COVID-19, and Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale. Results: Breasfeeding self-efficiacy was found to be highest in those who had never been vaccinated. 19.2% of mothers received COVID-19 vaccine in this pregnancy. Breasfeeding self-efficiacy is higher in those not vaccinated against COVID-19 in this pregnancy. A positive correlation was found between fear and cognitive avoidance (r:0.45), and behavioral avoidance (r:0.48). A positive correlation (r:0.13) was found between age and fear. It was established that mothers' fear of coronavirus predicted coronavirus avoidance by 32%, cognitive avoidance by 21%, and behavioral avoidance by 23% significantly. Conclusion: It was determined that the fear of coronavirus causes avoidance in mothers, but fear and avoidance did not affect breastfeeding self-efficacy. In addition, it was determined that vaccination affected breastfeeding self-efficacy.

Amaç: Bu araştırmanın amacı kırsal bölgede 0-6 aylık bebeği olan annelerin COVID-19’a yönelik korku, kaçınma tutumu ve aşılanma durumu ile emzirme özyeterliliğinin belirlenmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Kesitsel tiptedir. Örneklemini 0-6 aylık bebeği olan 297 anne oluşturmuştur. Veriler Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu, COVID-19 Korkusu Ölçeği, COVID-19’dan Kaçınma Tutumları Ölçeği, Emzirme Özyeterliliği Ölçeği ile toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Emzirme özyeterliği hiç aşı olmayanlarda daha yüksek belirlenmiştir. Annelerin %19.2’si bu gebeliğinde COVID-19 aşısı olmuştur. Emzirme özyeterliği bu gebeliğinde COVID-19 aşısı olmayanlarda daha yüksektir. Korku ile bilişsel kaçınma (r:0.45) ve dvranışsal kaçınma (r:0.48) arasında pozitif korelasyon saptanmıştır. Yaş ile korku arasında pozitif korelasyon belirlenmiştir (r:0.13). Annelerin koronavirüs korkusunun kaçınmayı %32, bilişsel kaçınmayı %21, davranışsal kaçınmayı %23 oranla anlamlı şekilde yordadığı belirlenmiştir. It was established that mothers' fear of coronavirus predicted coronavirus avoidance by 32%, cognitive avoidance by 21%, and behavioral avoidance by 23%. Sonuç: Koronavirüs korkusunun annelerde kaçınmayı neden olduğu, fakat korku ve kaçınmanın emzirme özyeterliliğini etkilemediği belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca aşılanmanın emzirme özyeterliliğini etkilediği belirlenmiştir.
