“…When the stress caused by coronavirus turns into anxiety during pregnancy, the mother cannot spare enough time to establish a healthy bond with her baby (33). If an adequate prenatal attachment is not provided, neonatal care may be adversely affected, and as the newborn grows up, it may lag behind its peers in terms of physical, mental, emotional, social and language development (18). Many studies have found that women with low-quality fetal attachment have significantly higher levels of anxiety and depression during their pregnancy (17,34,35).…”

“…This bonding between the mother and the baby is important in terms of the formation of maternal identity in the mother, adaptation to pregnancy, and more conscious action during pregnancy (16,17). Attachment, which starts in the prenatal period and continues after birth, supports infant care positively, but also affects the child's psychological development and plays an important role in the child's future social, emotional and cognitive development (16)(17)(18). There are studies that found that mother-infant attachment is negatively affected in pregnant women with psychological problems accompanied by anxiety, stress and depressive symptoms (19,20).…”

Objective: In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) anxiety on pregnant women, whether it causes prenatal distress and may be changes on mother-infant attachment. Method: The research population consists of pregnant women in all trimesters. Exclusion criteria from the study; anomaly risk in the fetus, abnormal examination findings, systemic chronic disease and drug use, presence of diagnosed psychiatric disease, consanguineous marriage between the pregnant woman and her spouse. 323 pregnant women who did not meet these exclusion criteria and agreed to participate in the study were included in this study. In the study data form: Income status, education level, age, gravidity, parity, presence and number of miscarriages, gestational week, smoking status, history of COVID-19 infection, if yes, in which week of pregnancy she had, history of COVID-19 infection in her close family, planned pregnancy, in vitro fertilization-intrauterine insemination (IVF-IUI) or a spontaneous pregnancy status were questionnaired. The patients included in the study were administered the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale (CAS), Revised Prenatal Distress Questionnaire (NuPDQ), Prenatal Attachment Scale (PAS). Results: COVID-19 anxiety increases more if close relatives have coronavirus rather than participants themselves. We detected that high coronavirus anxiety also caused an increase in the sub-dimensions of prenatal distress. We also found that high COVID-19 anxiety negatively affects prenatal attachment. Conclusion: Pregnant women should be given information and education about the possible effects of coronavirus on their pregnancy during their routine follow-up during the pandemic period. Otherwise, both psychologically and physically unhealthy generations await the whole world.

Introduction:The study was planned in a descriptive-relation-seeking type in order to determine the relationship between the sense of coherence, prenatal attachment and perinatal anxiety levels of expectant mothers during pregnancy and the factors affecting them. Method: The research was carried out with 154 pregnant women. The data of the research; It was gathered at The hospital in Central Anatolia between December 2020 and July 2021. Research data were collected using a personal information form, Revised Sense of Coherence Scale (RECS), Prenatal Attachment Inventory (PAI), Perinatal Anxiety Screening Scale (PAS). Results: It was determined that the total mean score of the RECS of Pregnants was 40,49±5,60, the total PAI score average was 38,02±9,89, and the total PAS mean score was 66,90±17,96. Sense of Coherence level of pregnant women was found to be good. No significant correlation was found between the RECS, PAI and PAS total scores. It has been found that there is a relationship between socioeconomic level and educational status and sense of coherence and prenatal attachment in pregnant women. In addition, it was determined that the prenatal attachment level of women who received support from their spouses was better. Conclusion: Pregnancy is a process that has long-term effects on the life of the newborn baby and the whole family, as well as the woman. In order to improve maternal and infant health, there is a need to identify pregnant women with poor socioeconomic status and to take necessary actions, and to raise awareness of the subject by giving trainings on the importance of spousal support to prospective fathers during pregnancy.

“…Bonding, which begins with the mother-infant relationship, acts as a template for all of the relationships that a person forms throughout his or her life and has the potential to be crucial in each of them 1 . Mother-infant bonding is the existence of a warm, ongoing, and close relationship between a mother and child, and both parties are content and enjoy this situation 2 .…”

Introduction: Mother-infant bonding serves as a template for all relationships a person forms throughout his/her life and can be critical to any relationship a person will form. The aim of this study was to determine the development and current state of research on mother-infant bonding in the literature. Method: The Web of Science (Wos) database was used to analyse bibliographic data between 1994 and 2022 (April) using the keyword "mother-infant bonding". Graphics, science maps, and analyses were created with the data. Findings: The results of the WoS online database show that there are 50 documents and 41 resources (e.g. books, journals) related to publications about the term "mother-infant bonding" for the years between 1994 and 2022. The works of 221 authors were accessed. It was observed that keywords such as ‘postnatal depression’, ‘postpartum depression’, and ‘symptoms’ were used more frequently from 2015 onwards. It was observed that keywords such as ‘depression’, ‘attachment’, ‘scale’, and ‘version’ were used less frequently after 2017. The USA, Japan, and Germany were the top three countries in terms of number of publications and citations in the country comparisons. Results: This study shows that research on mother-child bonding has increased in recent years. Data on priorities and trends in studies can help guide future academic research.
