“…In this regard, the study conducted in Paraguay by Torales et al (2020) is relevant due to its cultural similarity and geographic location, which found that women had more stress during pandemic than men. Likewise, several groups have used the original version in peripartum women during the pandemic in middle- ( Masjoudi et al, 2021 ; Suárez-Rico et al, 2021 ) and high- ( Ceulemans et al, 2021 ) income countries, with good reliability indicators.…”

“…In recent studies, COVID-19 anxiety severity on pregnant women was reported as mild to high. However, similar to everyone, pregnant women’s risk of exposure to COVID-19 is still ongoing, and the long-term consequences of the pandemic on pregnancy are not clear (Masjoudi et al, 2021; Sahin et al, 2020; Xie et al, 2021).…”

This study aimed to evaluate pregnant women’s knowledge, fear, and anxiety levels during the coronavirus outbreak. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 170 pregnant women between May 20 and July 10, 2020. Data collection form for demographics and obstetric details, questionnaire on knowledge, attitudes, and practice toward COVID-19, and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-I were used. The vast majority of pregnant women were afraid of being infected with the COVID-19 and causing mother-to-baby transmission. A positive correlation was found between fear of coronavirus transmission and the level of anxiety (p < .05). Risk perceptions regarding COVID-19 have affected the anxiety and knowledge levels of pregnant women. Based on the findings, knowledge levels, concerns, and fears about the risk of COVID-19 exposure have implications on the anxiety levels of pregnant women. Pregnant women experienced high stress and anxiety levels due to increased risk of COVID-19 transmission during face-to-face antenatal visits.

“…As well, the ndings of the present study were in line with the results reported by Zhao (29), Hemmati (30), and Karbalaei Harfteh (31). In contrast, Masjoudi et al had established a weak negative correlation between self-care and perceived stress in pregnant women (32). Accordingly, the transfer of self-care knowledge and skills through elearning could augment the patients' sense of self-su ciency and self-con dence regarding their ability to cope with stressful life events, and thus give rise to more control over thoughts and feelings while facing stress.…”

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused many adverse effects, including increased stress in patients. The present study aimed to determine the effect of an online self-care training program on perceived stress in COVID-19 patients.Methods: This quasi-experimental study was fulfilled by recruiting 132 COVID-19 patients, referred to two hospitals in Isfahan, Iran, from February 20 to August 22, 2021. These patients were selected using the convenience sampling method, and were then randomized into experimental (n=63) and control (n=63) groups. The online self-care training program was subsequently presented to the patients in the experimental group, during six sessions of 30 minutes for two weeks. E-learning and educational content introduced through lectures, multimedia, and instructional videos using web platforms. Then, daily follow-up sessions continued until one month after the intervention. The data were collected administering an individual characteristic form and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) at three stages before, immediately, and one month after the intervention.Results: The mean scores of perceived stress before, immediately, and one month after the intervention in the experimental group were respectively 30.51±6.31, 24.59±4.66, and 26.57±3.82, and they were 29.78±4.81, 29.4±4.57, and 29.11±4.73 in that order in the control group. Moreover, no significant difference was observed between both groups at the pre-intervention stage (p=0.467), while the mean scores of perceived stress in the experimental group were lower compared with those in the control group immediately (p<0.001) and one month after the intervention (p=0.001). The mean scores of perceived stress in the experimental group before, immediately, and one month after the intervention had also changed in a significant manner (p<0.001), whereas there was no significant variation in the control group in this respect (p=0.298).Conclusions: The online self-care training program led to a reduction in perceived stress in COVID-19 patients. It is thus recommended to implement this cheap, safe, and efficient method to relieve perceived stress in such cases.
