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.

REFLECTIONS OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON THE PSYCHOSOCIAL HEALTH OF PUERPERAL WOMEN AND MOTHER-INFANT ATTACHMENT

Öz

This study aims to determine the level of fear of contracting COVID-19, anxiety, and mother-infant attachment of women in the postpartum period. 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. According to the multiple regression analysis conducted in the study, there is a statistically significant relationship between the level of fear of COVID-19, the state of anxiety, and the anxiety felt because of following news and social media during the pandemic period (p<0.0001). The independent variables included in the modeling have the power to explain the COVID-19 fear level by 33%. The study determined that the level of fear of the mothers in the postpartum period was high during the pandemic period, while the levels of anxiety and attachment were low. The factors that affect the mother-infant attachment are mothers' depression level, breastfeeding anxiety during the pandemic, concern about the baby's health, fear of contracting COVID-19, and education level.
