“…Socio-demographic and obstetric characteristics affect prenatal attachment (Canlı & Demirtaş, 2021) It has been reported in the studies that prenatal attachment decreases as maternal age increases (Daglar & Nur, 2018;Damato, 2004;Potur et al, 2020). In the study by Dağlar et al, it was determined that the attachment levels of mothers aged 35 and above were higher than those under 35 years of age.…”

Introduction and Aim: To compare anxiety and attachment levels besides obstetric and sociodemographic characteristics between late term and non-late term pregnants. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 49 pregnant women who were over 41 weeks of pregnancy as late-term pregnancy group and 67 pregnant women who were 37-41 weeks of pregnancy were included in the study as control group. Data were collected using demographic and obstetrics data form, Pregnancy-Related Anxiety Questionnaire-Revised-2, and prenatal attachment scale. Results: The prenatal attachment scale median score of late term pregnant women was 68 (39-81) and the anxiety scale median score was 28 (13-55). The median score of the prenatal attachment scale for may not affect the non-late term pregnant women was 64 (30-84), and the median score of the anxiety scale was 26 (11-43). There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of scale scores (p>0.05). Conclusions: It was found that prenatal attachment and anxiety levels were not affected by the late term state of pregnant women in our study. In the presence of other conditions that positively affect attachment, although late term pregnancy is risky, it did not have an effect on attachment and anxiety.

“…This could be about painful memories about the previous pregnancies or losing the initial enthusiasm or just exhaustion due to consistent worries. 24 26 27 We also studied the attachment scores with the number of pregnancies. We found lower scores of prenatal and maternal attachment as the number of pregnancies increased.…”

Objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused both physical and emotional stress throughout the population due to its worldwide impact. The unknowns about the disease, the social isolation, and pregnant women’s concerns regarding exposure to the COVID-19, inaccessibility to necessary care, and the possibility of harm to their fetus, may cause increased psychological distress during the perinatal period. We aimed to evaluate the association between perinatal anxiety, prenatal attachment, and maternal-infant attachment status among women with those who delivered their child in a tertiary care center with rigid hospital restrictions. Study design: Term pregnant women who experienced the last trimester of their pregnancy during COVID-19 curfews between December 2020 and May 2021 were asked specifically about their concerns during the COVID-19 pandemic and they filled out the Perinatal Anxiety Screening Scale (PASS) and the Prenatal Attachment Inventory (PAI). Those who continued the follow-up within a month period following the delivery were invited to fill out the Maternal Attachment Inventory (MAI). Results: A total of 600 women completed the survey. Whereas the evaluation of the relationship between participants’ mean PAI and MAI scores showed a statistically significant positive correlation between scales (r=0.124, p=0.002), mean PAI and PASS scores showed a statistically significant negative correlation between scale scores (r= -0.137, p=0.001). Conclusion: Examining the factors affecting the attachment process of pregnant and puerperal women will guide the improvement of the quality of health services in the COVID-19 pandemic.
