Objective: In this study, the relationship between burnout level, anxiety and coping attitudes of parents with children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) was examined together with demographic variables. Methods: Relational model was used in the research. The research was conducted with the parents of 180 children diagnosed with ASD who were educated in a special education and rehabilitation centre. Data were obtained using the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), and the Coping Attitudes Rating Scale (COPE). T Test, One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Pearson correlation analysis were used in the analysis of the data. Results: In the research findings, it was observed that the burnout level of the parents differed according to the age groups of the autistic children, the number of siblings and the psychiatric disease history of the parents. In addition, it was observed that the anxiety level and coping methods of the parents differed significantly according to the psychiatric illness history of the parents. A strong positive correlation was found between parents' anxiety and burnout levels. A moderately positive relationship was also found between the emotional burnout levels of the parents and their coping levels. Conclusion: It was observed that the level of anxiety and burnout were lower in parents who used the problem-focused coping method. It was observed that the parents who participated in the study overcame the problems by using problem-focused coping methods and this situation had a positive effect on their lives. In addition, it was observed that parents with high levels of anxiety and burnout used dysfunctional coping methods more.

This research aims to examine the relationship between fear of childbirth, fear of Covid-19, and marital adjustment. In line with this general-purpose, differences in fear of childbirth, fear of Covid-19, and marital adjustment levels were also examined according to demographic variables. The research was carried out with 382 pregnant women who were followed up in the obstetrics clinic of a private hospital in Ankara. Demographic Information Form, Wijma Birth Expectation-Experience Scale (W-DEQ) Version A, Fear of Covid-19 Scale, and Revised Dynasty Scale were used as data collection tools. Independent Sample T-test and One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were used to compare the scores obtained from fear of childbirth, fear of Covid-19, and spousal adjustment according to demographic variables. The relationship of the variables with each other was tested with Pearson Correlation analysis, and the predictive effect of fear of Covid-19 and spousal adjustment on fear of childbirth was examined by regression analysis. As a result of the research, while there was a difference in fear of birth according to age, there was a difference in both fear of birth and fear of Covid-19 according to health problems. In addition, the fear of Covid-19 differs according to the gestational week. A positive relationship was found between fear of childbirth and fear of Covid-19 and a negative relationship between marital adjustment. In addition, it was determined that fear of Covid-19 and spousal adjustment significantly predicted fear of childbirth.
