| Objective We aimed to investigate the effects of COVID-19 related fears and marital adjustment on distress in pregnant women. Methods This study is a cross-sectional descriptive study. The sample of the study consisted of 161 pregnant women who were followed up in a private hospital in Ankara between May and September 2020. Sociodemographic data form, Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S), Tilburg Pregnancy Distress Scale (TPDS), and Marital Adjustment Scale (MAS) were used in the study. Results The mean age of the pregnant women in the sample was 29.64±4.47 years. While the rate of chronic disease was 8.7%(n= 14), the rate of psychiatric disease was 2.5%(n= 4). 7.5%(n= 12) of the sample described their current pregnancy as unwanted pregnancy. The negative affect sub-dimension scores of TPDS were predicted by the FCV-19S score (β= 0.473, p< 0.001) and the desired state of pregnancy (β= 0.147, p= 0.036). The total score of the MAS (β= 0.480, p< 0.001), the desirability of pregnancy (β=-0.253, p< 0.001), and the total scores of the FCV-19S (β= 0.239, p< 0.001) predicted the sub-dimension score of partner involvement. Conclusion One of the important sources of distress in pregnant women is fear of COVID-19. Fear of COVID-19 creates negative psychological symptoms in pregnant women as well as increasing partner involvement. This result is remarkable. Further studies are needed to investigate the positive or negative effects of COVID-19 on partner involvement. |
